Others in my prayer group tell me Bush refers to us as "religous whack jobs". Should I be offended?

I can't help but think my president meant this in a perjorative sense. Am I wrong?

If Bush did indeed say that, I cannot imagine any circumstances under which it would be anything but an insult.

And I CAN imagine Bush saying it. The GOP plays up to the Religious Right, but you won't find many of them practicing Christianity on a daily basis. If they did, they wouldn't be so set against programs that give aid to the poor and destitute, they wouldn't be such strong advocates of war, they would give detainees a fair hearing. The only time they show any Christian principles is when they want to keep "Under God" in the Pledge and outlaw gay marriage. And they only support those because it gets them votes.

The Democrats aren't any better Christians, but at least they're not such hypocrites.

Its a term of endearment

If you can't make up your OWN mind whether or not to be offended, then don't be. Really. Here's an idea: try thinking for yourself instead of letting others decide what you should think.
Bush is a religous whack job too. He's a Christian! Would you get offened if someone in your same race referred to you with a racial slur? If you're like the majority of people, nope.
Must be, if God told you to vote for Bush
First he never said it, but you can be sure the ACLU and the liberals think that
