And .. if you're able to continue reading ..
cute... unnecessary, but cute.

Psalm 105:9-15 (KJV)
[9] Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
[10] And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
[11] Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
[12] When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
[13] When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
[14] He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
[15] Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

I believe in context David was commenting on the way God had taken care of his people [Israel] as they traveled to the promised land.
This would have absolutely NOTHING to do with the President of the United States.
In this Nation God has put the people in charge. That is why we do not have a king.

but there are specific rules to be followed to bring charges against another Christian.
You are referring to?

You have missed the whole point of Chuck's article. He's besmirching the President of the United States and accusing him of using the Religious Right for his own political purposes. You don't get that ..??

But for Chuck (who claims to be a Christian), to besmirch another Christian (President Bush) - the text in Psalms says - KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT OTHER CHRISTIANS - GOD IS ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN. If President Bush is off kilter - GOD IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF THE ISSUE - without Chuck's help.

That is and was and will continue to be my point. YOU DON'T AGREE!! Bully!!

Secondly, "this Nation" - GOD gave power over the EARTH to man - through Adam and Eve. They sold it to satan. What on earth does that have to do with the fact that America has a President and not a King ..?? You lost me there.

In the Epistles (Timothy I believe), Paul explains to Pastors and aspiring Pastors on how to deal with problems within their churches. Paul gives specific instructions on how those things are to be handled - THE PASTOR OF THE PERSON DOING THE TRANSGRESSION IS THE PERSON GOD HAS APPOINTED TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE. Since Chuck is NOT THE PRESIDENT'S PASTOR - I would say Chuck should follow GOD's advice and "touch not God's anointed". [touching can be done with WORDS]

David wasn't just "commenting" - he was warning people not to mess with GOD's anointed. GOD's anointed are actually the people who have accepted Jesus as their savior. Bush has an additional anointing - because of the public office he holds.

It tickles me that unsaved people believe it is somehow their duty to push around and besmirch Christians - like GOD is not capable.
