Karl Rove, the man behind much of the deep corruption of the Constitution in the Bush administration has ignored a Congressional subpoena to testify about accusations of political meddling with the US Justice Department. Rove says he will talk, but only informally.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could do such a thing, when we know we are going to lie? Yes, I will talk to you Congress, but only if I don't have to be under oath. I can't think of any reason for Rove not to testify except for the fact that he knows he is guilty. If he talks "informally," he won't be under oath and, thus, can't be charged with perjury.
The Bush White House strikes again with their corrupt manipulation of the Separation of Powers and the Constitution. It is amazing that so many Americans are not concerned with the off hand way this group of power hungry despots has trod upon our Constitution. Check the count down to the right. Their time is coming to an end, and it won't be too soon. As things stand now, it will take years to recover, both here at home and internationally, from the damge done by this administration.

Religion and the Military
Is the separation of church and state being blurred in the military also? CNN reports today that a US soldier has filed suit against the Department of Defense and Sec. Gates, saying he has been discriminated against because he is atheist. He doesn't want compensation just a guarantee of religious freedom in the military.

There is a reference in the article to a group called the Officer's Christian Fellowship. ( http://ocf.gospelcom.net/ ) There is absolutely nothing wrong with such an organization...but a look at their mission statement begins to make one think: "Christian officers exercising biblical leadership to raise up a godly military." Is this yet another Reconstuctionist operation? Read on:
"Purpose and Vision
To glorify God by uniting Christian officers for biblical fellowship and outreach, equipping and encouraging them to minister effectively in the military society.
In 2 Corinthians 5:20, the Apostle Paul describes Christians as Christ's ambassadors to a lost world. We believe God calls military believers to be His ambassadors to the armed forces. OCF exists to help you become a more effective ambassador, integrating faith and profession with excellence.
A spiritually transformed military, with ambassadors for Christ in uniform, empowered by the Holy Spirit, living with a passion for God and compassion for the entire military society."
Keep in mind that the Reconstructionist goal is to spread their brand of the Christian religion around the world with force, if necessary. A crusade, so to speak. Food for further thinking.

This Man Says He is Qualified to Run the US Government
Two quotes from today's New York Times say it all:
"Senator John McCain’s campaigns have long been defined by internal squabbling and power plays, zigzagging lines of command and a penchant by the candidate for consulting with former advisers without alerting current ones, always a recipe for disquiet."
"Mr. McCain is uncomfortable firing people or banishing them entirely. His orbit remains filled with people who have been demoted without being told they are being demoted, like Mr. Davis, who continues to hold the title of campaign manager even as Mr. Schmidt manages the campaign."
I have said it before and I will say it again. If he can't manage his campaign and his people, how can he manage the United States Government? If he is uncomfortable firing people, how can he brag about his success in running a Naval outfit? One has to wonder.
