What what what?!?
Since when - last week?
Sorry, Mr. Kerry, you don't get to pick and choose which doctrine you wish to follow. You may not be able to legislate it, but your should lead by example if you follow your religion. Hypocrite!!!!!
Lots of facts and quotes about the president-wannabe at the John F. Kerry Timeline.
.
Puke Bucket Alert.
This jerk is too funny.
Cripes, he's quoting Hannity now?
Of course, the Times would never have hired any fact-checkers capable of verifying this.
What what what?!?
That is the key word. The Senator USED the Bible to suit his political calculations. There will be no appealing to Christians from someone that isn't sincere in their faith. He is mocking God.
The little secret, which isn't a secret at all except to these secular elites, is that Christians WILL and HAVE voted for people that didn't profess faith. I'm open to voting for someone that doesn't own to a faith, though I prefer someone committed to Christ. So long as the person respects the dominant role of the Judeo-Christian influence in our country from the start and is respectful of those beliefs, I have no issue with them. When they seek to distort, use, lie and prevent those beliefs from being exercised, well, then I develop a problem.
the president's communications director, Dan Bartlett, told reporters that at the end of the week the Bush campaign would release its last commercial, a direct appeal from Mr. Bush for a second term. "In a very emotional, heartfelt way," Mr. Bartlett said, voters "will see why they have rallied around the president in a post-9/11 world."
Hmm. This is ...appealing. Provided it is done in the right way, this may be the REAL October Surprise. Sincerity. Open communication with the American people. I look forward to seeing this.
He better not tell Lawrence O'Donnell that he believes in God.
matthew 7:15-16a: "watch out for false prophets. they come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. by their fruit you will know them"
i wonder if this means anything to kerry?
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
It's always important to read Scripture in context. The Senator seems to have skipped over some important verses which precede his citation:
"Jesus replied, 'If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching.'" -- John 14:23-24
John was pointing out the importance of obedience in truly following Christ and gaining "the peace which passes all understanding." This loving obedience seems a far cry from the Senator's approach to the teachings of his faith and his church.
He is quoting Jesus from the Bible, the next line goes like this "You believe in God, believe also in me." Well, the disciples believed in Jesus, but I am sorry, no true evangelical is going to believe in Mr. Kerry. His manipulation of scripture for his own ends repulses those who hold the Bible to be Word of God.
I hope he gives that page back to whoever he took it from when he's done....
Seriously though this is a good sign. Kerry has to shoot at the religious crowd. NOTE: Quoting scripture is not generally a tactic for attracting Catholics. He's so scared of the Protestant Christian Conservative block he's trying to look like a Baptist preacher.
The more he tries this the more his base will run from him.
In the end all things to all people may leave him with almost no one.
Excuse me mr. kerry, but I seem to recall a commandment about "Thou shalt not steal" Which is exactly the thing that government does through income taxes that go toward social issues. I can't believe that people are actually buying his garbage.
So if JFKerry doesn't win this election will he take up preachin full time???
"Catholics call this solidarity," he said, adding that as president, "I will put middle-class families, and those who are struggling to join the middle class, ahead of the interests of the well-to-do and the well-connected."
And then he says ...
"I know there are some bishops who have suggested that as a public official I must cast votes or take public positions, on issues like a woman's right to choose or stem-cell research, that carry out the tenets of the Catholic Church," ...
"I love my church; I respect the bishops; but I respectfully disagree,"
The contradictions and hypocrisies of this man boggle the rational mind. On one hand Kerry argues for heeding the Catholic tenets on solidarity in creating public policy (even chastising the Bush administration for not heeding these Christian teachings); while on the other, he argues against heeding the more critical tenets of Church regarding the destruction of innocent human life.
Hopefully, Kerry's heretical evasions and double-talk will motivate Catholics who genuinally follow the faith to vote against this man.
This is something coming from a guy who says he believes in God but chooses not to follow God's laws.
If he wants to help the poor and homeless so much why doesn't he just donate part of the billions that he has at his disposal instead of STEALING it from the people.
And then he supports abortion as well... Has he heard of thou shalt not murder?
God will not be mocked and used in this way. Watch out Kerry....
He may know the words but he does not know the author!
