Bob Jones Sees Bush Win As 'Reprieve'

Fri Nov 12,12:25 AM ET


GREENVILLE, S.C. - Bob Jones III, president of the fundamentalist college that bears his name, has told President Bush (news - web sites) he should use his electoral mandate to appoint conservative judges and approve legislation "defined by biblical norm."



"In your re-election, God has graciously granted America — though she doesn't deserve it — a reprieve from the agenda of paganism," Jones wrote Bush in a congratulatory letter posted on the university's Web site.


"You have been given a mandate. ... Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they despise your Christ," said the letter, dated Nov. 3.


A White House spokesman said he didn't know whether the president had seen the letter.
