Suppose Bubbleboy was listening?

Ron Reagan Jr. gave a speech at his father's funeral which was, as you might expect, totally glowing. But this paragraph seems specifically pointed and kills two birds with one stone: reminding everyone, including His Slowliness who was in the audience, that there are limits to the God card, and chastising the Dope for trying to use Reagan as a political boost.

Dad was also a deeply, unabashedly religious man. But he never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage. True, after he was shot and nearly killed early in his presidency, he came to believe that God had spared him in order that he might do good. But he accepted that as a responsibility, not a mandate. And there is a profound difference.

No problem for Bubbleboy, though. I doubt he was listening.
