Not Under Oath?

Did my eyes deceive me, or did I read an article somewhere that said that George Bush doesn't want his top aides to be under oath when they talk to federal prosecutors? No, I don't think my eyes were playing tricks on me, but it looks like somebody is trying to play a trick on prosecutors. Isn't the idea of being under oath a good thing? A deterrent to lying, because of the threat of perjury? Why wouldn't the president want his top people to be bound to telling the truth? I mean, he's all brash with it, too, like he's offended that the truth is involved! Said Bush: "We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition aimed at honorable public servants," he said. "It will be regrettable if they choose to head down the partisan road of issuing subpoenas and demanding show trials when I have agreed to make key White House officials and documents available." Why would he not want an honorable public servant to make an honorable statement under an honorable oath? You tell me. And what's this, "when I have agreed" thing, like he's doing the public a favor? Public servants belong to the public, not to him. His attitude smacks of something decidedly outside of the precepts of democracy. What do you think?

Between The Lines

Here's an idea...how about observing the political scene through the eyes of Christianity? Yeah, I know, been there, done that, right? Well, honestly, maybe you have, and maybe you haven't. My advice? Keep your eyes open, cause it ain't over yet. There's a lot going on behind the scenes with today's (and yesterday's) politics that has yet to be revealed, and there's a lot going on with your walk with Christ that has yet to be revealed. I have come to the realization that the people of this great United States of America are not as aware of the truth of many things as we should be, and this is causing no small amount of problems for us, and for the rest of the world. When we the people know the truth about things, we take action in the direction of solving the problems. We don't panic, as many would claim that we would, but instead we coordinate and use information to decide what is best to do. The people of the US are fantastic at solving problems, we love solutions. Now, my wording may be rather simplistic, but the choice is obvious and the message is still quite clear: We need solutions, not problems, and so, I invite you to stay tuned to this space as together we simply search for the truth.
