The Senator's Most Revealing Lie
When it comes to faith we all know where George W. Bush stands. It is not very hard to see that he is changed man because of his faith and it is equally as obvious that it guides him and gives him, as he put it, calm and strength.
He has said numerous times that his faith is a part of him and affects him and his decisions greatly. These are, for him as so many others, immutable ideas that are woven into the ethics and the morality and do guide them daily.
George W. Bush, when asked about Roe v. Wade and how it relates to Supreme Court Justices was absolutely correct that although it is a large issue it can not be an absolute test for Justices.
Also, the idea that Kerry brought out that no one should revisit a court case that was decided 5-4 AND was decided in a very politically hot climate is irresponsible. In the end I agree with the president that is can not be a focus of appointment - either way.
John Kerry, when confronted with faith takes both roads as he does with so many other topics, themes, and issues. He says he's a Catholic, has been a catholic, choir boy, and forth and so on. He talks about how it has helped him in Vietnam, and guided him elsewhere. This first part sounds much like George W. Bush in that he is a man of faith and with that comes solid, predictable behavior rooted in ethics and morality.
Then he goes off that road in an effort to appear tot he atheist wing of the Democratic party - you know - the tolerant and accepting group of secular humanists. He knows that this first answer will not sit well with them because to them God is to be feared to the point of never mentioning him, and should never ever be given credit or ever worshipped.
So, because of this extreme liberal, extreme leftist group who he does not want to lose to Nader, he says he can not 'push' his faith onto others who may not believe it. He goes on talking idly about moral relativism in the sense that what is right for one person may not be right for another as if that means anything.
By the time he is done speaking you are left without any knowledge as to how Kerry uses his faith in his works - though he says he does, but then says to use faith in decision making is forcing religion on others.
This is the largest and most revealing lie. It is a lie because he is knowingly deceiving and being confusing in an effort to be all things to all people.
If you honestly believe that something is wrong, to NOT speak up and to not act on it is reprehensible and shows that you a weak person. To permit something, anything, to continue despite your own opinions on the subject, to silent approve of those things you say you are against is illogical and unethical.
America needs a leader - be that leader religious or irreligious - who has a set of standards that do not change. Whether or not you agree with George W. Bush's faith you can, at any time, know where he stands on any and all issues. With Kerry, despite what he and the Democratic Party say, you get someone who is very whimsical in the way his decisions and statements change and can be viewed as being either for or against so many things.
Recall Kerry saying that he won't give a veto power to any nation over our security, then right after that, he appeals to those who favor the UN, by saying it needs to pass a global test. He has tried to spin and play off the global test part, but in the end it is a very detrimental thing to say right after saying something completely different.
To the secular left, God has been replaced by the government - taxes are tithe, and as Marx has said, "The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion." These leftist have the ear and the motivation of the liberals in the Democratic party.
We've seen how wrong Marx has been, and we see how it affects liberal candidates because they have to appeal to those leftists. This is not a flip-flop at all because in reality Kerry has been consistently contradictory from the beginning.
