6) A false witness who pours out lies George Bush schemes his lies. He may not personally be the one saying the lie, but he has other people do it for him. The Valerie Plame situation demonstrates that. Plame was outed as a covert CIA operative, a treasonous act, by people representing Bush. Why? Because her husband had dared to tell the truth about the lies Bush had told regarding Iraq trying to start a nuclear weapons program. Never mind that Ms. Plame actually worked defending this country from weapons of mass destruction. Never mind that whomever she had previously worked with over her 20+ years as an agent would now be horribly exposed and possibly killed. Never mind the money and time invested in setting up her covert work over the years. The unpardonable sin committed by Valerie Plame's husband, was telling the truth. When faced with that, the emissaries of Bush went on a smear campaign, lying about both Valerie Plame and her husband. There are always degrees of separation between the lie and Bush so he can feign ignorance. When the cameras are off though, there is the nod and the wink.

As a born again Christian, I understand the religious right's desire to have someone who is at least willing to say the name of Jesus Christ in public, hold public office. We have a responsibility beyond that though and this is where too often, the religious right, goes horribly wrong. There is more to Christianity then words. The book of James tells us that faith without works is dead. You cannot just talk the talk, you must walk the walk.

The proverbial truth about this war sits in a ditch outside the ranch of a man who cannot see the blood on his own hands because of his haughty eyes through which he sees the world. In that ditch is a mother. She could be any mother in this country. She could be your neighbor. She could be your friend. She lost her son because of the lies of a man who says he follows the Prince of Peace while he looses war upon this planet. She wants to have a talk with him about that. Cindy Sheehan wants to ask George W. Bush why he killed her son, why he had to die.

Cindy Sheehan sits in a ditch for every mother in this country. She sits in her grief for every soul in America. Maybe you do not know her yet. Maybe this war has not come home for you yet. Maybe it is not personal yet. She sits in that ditch and with every passing second that George W. Bush refuses to speak to her, she is emboldened more. With every passing second America awakens and wants to know why the man who sold us on family values will not speak to the mother of a fallen soldier. You will hear the minions of Bush say this is somehow a partisan attack. That Cindy Sheehan is a democratic operative. As Cindy herself said, those people are obscenities to humanity.

Cindy Sheehan did not ask to sit in that ditch. Her child was killed and George W. Bush killed him. She deserves an answer to her questions from the man who swore to bring accountability back to the White House. With each passing day it becomes more obvious that George W. Bush does not come speak to Cindy Sheehan because he cannot answer her questions. One day though, he will answer. As Christ says in the book of Matthew (12: 36-37):

But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.

I don't blame George Bush for not saying anything. He has said too much already.
