"He fought against self-righteousness of people who had everything . .

Odd statement, coming from the one who was brought up on the silver spoon of eastern Long Island's exclusive country clubs, where the members have "everything"

To Dean, "having everything" is a state of mind...Sure, he "had everything" but he "feels" like someone who didn't.

[Johnstone]

I feel certain that God is very pleased to be part of Dean's new political strategy.

There is nothing more disgusting than a secularist spouting off Scripture out of context in order to be perceived as "religious." Hypocrite.

Just remember, when a man says he's a dill pickle, it ain't necessarily so.

There is only ONE word to describe Dean for doing this: IMPOSTOR.

Dean has argued for nothing but the separation of church and state, and not the protections of religious freedom that the Constitution guarantees. He has belittled southerners- telling them not to vote based on "religion" or matters which concern religion like "gays"- that they should leave those issues for the secular elites like him to sort out. And now he thinks he can sprinkle some "God talk" into his speeches (while misinterpreting Jesus's example) and win over the faithful. This is crass pandering; the bottom line is that Dean snickers at the faithful behind their back and opposes them on everything from abortion to gay marriage.

There is only one thing that southerners dislike more than a patronizing secularist. That is- an IMPOSTOR.

"He fought against self-righteousness of people who had everything . . .

"Having everything" is not what makes one self-righteous. Dean's linking the two shows both his ignorance of Jesus' teachings, and his liberal credentials.

Of course, it is possible that Dean links the two because of his own experience - he "has everything", and he's self-righteous.

He was a person who set an extraordinary example that has lasted 2000 years, which is pretty inspiring when you think about it."

Pretty inspiring? When you think about it? What, did Algore give him that line???

I wonder if Dean knows that being "pretty inspired" is not the same thing as being a Christian. I doubt it.

Hmmm, Dean rails against "self-rightousness" (but only about "people who have everything", which I deduce means "the rich"), then says "when you think about it" regarding Christ, as if he's one of the few to "think about" this, and he's now advising the rest of us to take a moment to ponder. Does it get more self-righteous?

BTW, this stuff about "it's a private matter" and such, is because a journalist on Chris Matthews' Sunday show said his hot tip was that the other dem nominees were going to start attacking Dean for being "aggressively secular" and not belonging to a church, and his wife does not belong to a synogogue. Just like clockwork out he comes with this tripe.
