>>From the speech (toward the closing statments):

"As I close, let me recognize Kentucky's veterans. You have served to
protect our liberty and the freedom that spurs our quality of life in
this nation. Please know that this administration is committed to
supporting you.

And where does this freedom come from that many have died to protect?

Our founding fathers recognized that we were endowed with this right by
our creator.

So I ask, what is wrong with teaching "intelligent design" in our
schools. Under KERA, our school districts have that freedom and I
encourage them to do so.

This is not a question about faith or religion. It's about self-evident
truth."
