…How exactly is this post a response to what happened?

It seems like you’re saying that the Bush speechwriters changed the quote because Jefferson “didn’t really mean it” when he said it.

The point is, Bush flatly misquoted Jefferson and did it in a pro-religious manner.

It’s a sad commentary on current times that the founders have to be edited. Any politician that repeated some of Madison’s comments on religion would be run out of town on a rail!
