Feel free to raise my rates and justify the competition from the government. Go ahead and send them skyward and still refuse to pay for the coverage that everyone pays you for. Go ahed. Seriously. We'd love to see you share a jail cell with Bernie Madoff. You're already committing criminal acts though not everyone sees it. Please do us all a favor and make good on your threat. Go ahead. Go ahead.

Can anyone tell me what the basis is for arguing that the War Powers Act is considered unconstitutional? Ford, Reagan and Carter have all said this and other than the oath that a president takes, I don't know what basis this argument has. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

If the gratitude isn't long overdue then I still think that more gratitude is in order. Dr. Dean's 50-State Strategy still has shockwaves resonating through Washington D.C. and his detractors from the GOP and DLC are forced to admit that things have indeed changed for the better. I have always been of the opinion that the Presidency has been over emphasized and that the ones who serve the nation best are the ones who see that greater changes can be made from outside the Oval Office. Change always starts from within whether it is for richer or poorer or sickness and in health. Dr Dean should be applauded for not only recognizing this but also implementing a solution once derided openly as "the lunatic left".

It has also been my opinion that real power comes from Congress and Dean seemed to understand that elections come every two years, not four. Real opposition parties fight for the good of the country, not make concessions that effectively throw qualified candidates under the bus because their opponent is branded as being too popular or too likeable to be beaten. Change is something that starts slowly and while it is unfortunate that Congress can't do more at the moment, the momentum has completely shifted.

At least we are at the point where accountability is being made and the mantle of high morality is being stripped from a man who would be the cowboy king. Real leadership comes when change is seen on the horizon, as Dr. Dean has apparently seen with the value of the internet. That's where real freedom is, that is where true freedom of the press is. Dr. Dean sees the grapevine effect on a global scale and continues to work behind the scenes. While his presence is not always noticed, the results most certainly are appreciated by a populace that has so long needed to be heard whenever it speaks out and wishes to hear intellectual discourse.

It is something that needs to be repeated: "Thank you Dr. Howard Dean".

How does it feel knowing that the victory that Bush got was handed to him by a supposedly leftist Congress? Our troops will continue to be there and they will continue to either die or begin lives of misery after losing a limb or be so psychologically tortured that they will effectively cease to be what you would consider to be "hard working, productive" members of society. The numbers for any of those groups will rise dramatically over the weekend while you're enjoying your barbecues or watching the latest "Pirates of the Caribbean" with your family.

At that point you're probably trying to turn away from the unpleasantness of the reality as the guilt starts to ever so slowly but surely manifests itself within your collective psyche. You probably tell yourselves that we have had a moral obligation as a Christian nation to take the fight to the heathens in the mid east since God Almighty surely run out of patience with those who wouldn't believe in Him. After all, that's what you've been hearing from the likes of Ted Haggard and Jerry Falwell.

But then there comes the true ugliness with this course of events. The King James bible is very clear about false prophets as evidenced within the 10 Commandments and nearly the entire book of Matthew-which is the first book of the New Testament. Maybe, just maybe you begin to wonder if you hadn't been led astray.

Its funny but did it ever occur to you that this darling of a Christian nation hadn't really considered the warning by Jesus Himself when he said "Surely that which ye have done to my brethren ye have done to me."? Supposedly 1 in 3 people in the U.S. consider the bible to be the literal word of God. If they had been right then perhaps they wouldn't have been so quick to summarily dismiss an entire region of the world as being non-Christian. Oh yes there had been some "prayer teams" ready to distribute emergency bibles to those ready to be converted to your faith. Clearly however there wasn't a single person who had stopped to ask about the people who already were of the Christian faith.

That's right, no one among you ever bothered to think this through (with exception perhaps of GW Bush's church who went to Washington D.C. to see him about his decision to invade Iraq and were summarily shut out from the White House). Most likely they wanted to advise him on the mistake of putting in danger the lives of 12 million professing Christians. Surely you remember from your bible that the mid east was the region of the world where Christ was born and preached the gospel, right? It still seems that you hadn't thought this through.

Of course there is also the rationalization that Bush is the President and as such was placed in office by God Himself, and as such, it was your responsibility to support Bush every step of the way. By that same logic however the same was true for Saddam Hussein, and by now you have probably realized that the will of God was broken by a brazen act of invading a sovereign country and removing the ruler who was put in place there. By that same logic, any country can claim a belief in God for the express purpose of invading the U.S. and removing Bush. All of a sudden it isn't such a calming thought.

And now by your standards of faith, you are faced with a growing problem, one that will inevitably grow as a result of your conscience. You are the ones who, from a perspective of Christian faith, absolutely chose to ignore the warning signs. Bush never claimed to ask Jesus to save him from his own sins, a requisite for salvation. Bush also hasn't been known to attend church on a regular basis and he isn't known for keeping the fellowship of Christians. His inner circle in Washington doesn't profess any belief in the bible or Christ at all. You enabled a swindler to use you. You are as guilty as him in committing a crime of colossal magnitude. There is murder, mayhem, theft, and a growing suffering taking place far away from you though you are responsible.

Christ said in Matthew "By their fruits ye shall know them". He also turned away those who said they worked miracles and prophesied in His name because in the end they didn't truly live lives that reflected what He preached. If you were to take your own faith seriously, you would find yourselves angrier, more outspoken and very liberal with regards to current affairs. It is time to examine yourselves very closely because this war is an affront to God. The truth shall set you free.
