| Kerry Criticizes Leaders Who Have ’Faith’ but ’No Deeds’ |
| 2004-03-29 |
| EFL John Kerry cited a Bible verse Sunday to criticize leaders who have "faith but has no deeds," prompting President Bush’s spokesman to accuse Kerry of exploiting Scripture for a political attack. Kerry never mentioned Bush by name during his speech at New North Side Baptist Church, but aimed his criticism at "our present national leadership." Kerry cited Scripture in his appeal for the worshippers, including James 2:14, "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?" Sure this isn’t an autobiography? "The Scriptures say, what does it profit, my brother, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?" Kerry said. "When we look at what is happening in America today, were are the works of compassion?" Uh.... in Iraq. What the hell are you smoking these days John? Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said Kerry’s comment "was beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse and a sad exploitation of Scripture for a political attack." As is using a Mass as a ’photo-op’. Kerry told worshippers in the largely black congregation that the country’s leadership has served the privileged while ignoring people across America who live in neighborhoods like theirs. Yeah! Kerry should know! He lives in a neighborhood where... uh... nevermind.... "Today we are told that, after 3 million lost jobs and so many lost hopes, America is now turning a corner," the pending Democratic presidential nominee said. "But those who say that, they’re not standing on the corner of Highland Street, where two 15-year-old teenagers were hit in a drive-by shooting last week." And this has to do with ’lost jobs’ how? Kerry is Roman Catholic So John... why are you a Roman Catholic again? Before church, Kerry stopped at Chris’ Pancakes & Dining, where his physical appearance seemed to be the top concern among diners who agreed that he looked better in person than on television. I’ll refrain from the St. Pancake jokes. Ok. So lets list all the ’deeds’ which the Maginificant Mr. Kerry (who, BTW is a Vietnam war hero.....) has accomplished. |
