Pastor Ray Mummert, in a report on the Dover, PA "intelligent design" lawsuit:
"Christians are a lot more bold under Bush's leadership, he speaks what a lot of us believe," said Mummert."We've been attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of the culture," he said, adding that the school board's declaration is just a first step.
