But, the best one of all in backing President Bush’s assertions that Saddam Hussein had a connection to 9/11 it goes against this very commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”

If you truly want to adhere to your Christian faith and leave a legacy of what is good with America, then you must follow this commandment, “Honor thy father and thy mother”

If you truly want to return the Republican Party to its moral goal, then I urge all of you to follow the precepts and beliefs of the late President, Dwight D. Eisenhower. One of his beliefs was, “No nation's security and well-being can be lastingly achieved in isolation but only in effective cooperation with fellow nations.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower also stated, “In the light of these principles the citizens of the United States defined the way they proposed to follow, through the aftermath of war, toward true peace.” If you couple that with the one above that is how we go about ripping at the very heart of al Qaeda’s hateful and deadly message.  Eisenhower was after all a general and he would have taken the fight directly to those that did attack us.  As a general he would have delivered Osama bin Laden on a plate to the American people.  He would have kept his promise. If I were still a Republican, I would be an Eisenhower Republican.  I ask that all of you listen to his spirit.
