I could see it, but I'd be leaning toward Lynda's prediction.  I think he'll 
hit the sawdust trail.  The revisionists who think this country was founded 
on Christian principles haven't paid attention to the most fascinating 
aspects of our history.  This country has gone in regular waves of religious 
fervor followed by times of apostasy only to start the cycle again.  It just 
so happens that the 1750's until the 1820's was just such a time of apostasy 
and so religion had nearly nothing to do with the founding of the country. 
In the 1820's there was the Cain Ridge Revival and two decades of religious 
fervor, only to fall into apostasy again in the 1850's.  After the War of 
Northern Aggression, there was another period of religious revival during 
which we acquires "In God We Trust".  The late teens through the 30's was a 
secular time followed by Bible thumping in the 1950's which gave us "One God 
Indivisible".  We're due for another great revival and who better to be the 
man with God on his side than our man Bush?
