Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry is not sure God is on America's side in the war terrorism. Kerry made the startling comments during the Feb 29 Democrat presidential primary debate in New York City.
Elizabeth Bumiller of the New York Times asked Kerry: "President Bush has said that freedom and fear have always been at war, and God is not neutral between them. He's made quite clear in his speeches that he feels God is on America's side. "Is God on America's side?"
Kerry replied, "Well, God will -- look, I think -- I believe in God, but I don't believe, the way President Bush does, in invoking it all the time in that way. I think it is -- we pray that God is on our side, and we pray hard. And God has been on our side through most of our existence.
Presidential front-runner John Kerry is also unsure about "The Passion of the Christ" the top-rated film Christians of all tempers are flocking to see (Reuters News Service. "Democrat Kerry Urges Caution on 'Passion,' 26 February 2004, by Patricia Wilson). "I don't know," Kerry said when asked if he would see the Mel Gibson film about the last days of Jesus' life and its depiction of Christ being crucified to save mankind.
Secular critics have complained that film-maker Mel Gibson went over the top to depict the Crucifixion of Christ even though Christians know the movie follows Biblical accounts. "I am concerned," Kerry told reporters. "I think we have to be careful."
Kerry's hesitant comments about "The Passion of The Christ " are troubling to every believing Christian.
As a presidential candidate, Kerry's comments are loaded with meaning for the future of the United States of America. Kerry and the Democrat party long ago abandoned mainstream Christian Americans in order to worship abortion, the homosexual agenda, and the stripping away of every Christian symbol in America. Kerry and the Democrat party he represents are against everything Christians stands for.
Kerry cannot even say a good word about a film that is changing the course of American history. Kerry could have said so many things to assure the millions of Christians who are pouring into theatres to see the film that their concerns were going to be part of his campaign. Kerry prefers to kowtow to a tiny minority of secularists, the very same groups that have contributed to be the death of American culture.
Kerry is appealing to the lowest common denominator, a tiny minority of voters, a ragtag cadre of naysayers who are categorically against the Passion film.
Who's kidding who? By bashing The Passion Kerry is pandering to secularists in order to get campaign dollars and voting blocs. Kerry is appealing to the Hollywood types who fear they will lose their chokehold on American culture.
Secularists have vastly profited from the anti-Christian culture and would prefer to keep Christians subdued and marginalized. Kerry's ill-conceived remarks show that he will strengthen secularists power over Christian America.
Kerry's comments, and his positions on issues important to believers, must reach every Christian pastor, church, and group in America. These are the issues believers should talk aboout:
(1) Kerry's comments about The Passion movie have effectively disqualified him from holding the highest office in Christian America.
(2) Transparently anti-Christian candidates do not deserve Christian votes.
(3) Candidates carrying Bibles and going to church but who vote against everything Christians believe (the Clintons) in are not going to fool Christians again as they have in the past.
(4) Abortion, the sacredness of the institution of marriage, Christen symbols in American life, are very important issues and must be addressed.
(5) The future of America depends on which candidate supports Christian issues. Kerry has demonstrated that he need not apply.
America has learned to its grief that morally neutral, secular-prescribed nostrums have resulted in a vast wasteland across our Nation. We've experienced the sordidness of school killings, disturbed one-parent kids, crime waves of titanic proportions, schools teaching the destructive, terroristic NEA--PP'hood agenda, sexual license, ever younger teen and pre-teen pregnancies, throw-away babies, abortion on demand including infanticide, and the homosexual takeover.
Consider Colombine, and the Ohio high school hazing for mental pictures of kids reduced to animals, without moral restraints and inner discipline. Secularists have had their chance. By saturating the culture with moral relativity, situation ethics and political correctness, they messed up bigtime, and destroyed a once-thriving American culture of believers.
A culture devoid of Christian values is a dangerous place.
Christians and culture are perfect together. Believers will take back the culture to its once glorious, unsecular past when people lived by principles and had noble ideas and dreams. In doing do, we will look back and be reminded about Mel's film and how it united American believers of all denominations against the forces of destructive secular corruption.
The President does not necessarily have to say much IF the Senate Republicans would grow spines and go on the offensive.
But sadly, they seem content in not only playing defense, but getting off the field entirely.
Worth repeating..
Unfortunately we are ALWAYS on the defensive because our message is not allowed to get out to the general public.
The mainstream media (TV, newspapers, Hollywood) actively promotes the liberal agenda and basically makes mockery of conservative values.
It's hard to get the message out.
Goofier than this?
We need to get this message out and around.
But sadly, they seem content in not only playing defense, but getting off the field entirely.
Why work any harder when their making 12% per year on their money more than the average Joe American?
Where's CBS' 60 Minutes when you need them?
