Please bear with me, because I'll be telling you something that's going to sound absolutely insane. Though I won't get into the science of it--it'd take forever, and I'm more of a literary person--I will, however, explain the basics. I am, for lack of a better term, a "fictionaut": a real person who's made their way into a fictional universe. It's a top-secret program at a certain major university. I understand that you've had animals post here, in addition to people from the future, so I hope you won't have trouble believing me. Anyway, the bad news is that none of you are real, but the really bad news is that George W. Bush is the main character of your story.

At any rate: God told Bush to invade Iraq, apparently.

If someone already posted this, my apologies. Anyway, scroll down past news of the unfortunately-usual violence in Iraq, and you'll see this:

"Leaders of five Mainline Protestant denominations will call on Congress to reject-'as unjust'-President Bush's 2006 federal budget at a press conference on Tuesday, March 8, 2005 at 3:30 p.m. in the West Room of the National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW, 13th Floor."

More at the link, naturally.

In my opinion, these are the sorts of alliances we need to build. Let's break the stereotype that Bush has a monopoly on Christianity...

Though "proactive" is rightfully relegated to the graveyard for 90's buzzwords, and though using their own words and actions against them is vital, I think that Kerry also needs to bring some new discussions to the table. Likewise, there's a feeling that many Kerry-leaning undecideds could be pushed over the hump with just a little something special.

So, I think it's time to address a legitimate fear, only without fearmongering--in my opinion, this wouldn't just help the campaign, it'd also help safeguard America's future.
