Kerry "spiritually dead"
Listening to some Christain statiion in San Diego.
They are stunned that it looks like Shrub is losing.

Host just said "when i look into the eyes of JK i see a spiritually dead individual....when i look into the eyes of GWB i see Gods love, peace and wisdom"

I fell outta my chair...

Tuning into Savage now...this should be good :-)

who had proclaimed she was a born again Christian.

30. Also, bloodshot.
I believe Bush has "the spirit" in him; but that spirit comes out of a bottle marked 100 proof...

20. Funny. When I look in Shrub's eyes, all I see....
are the same dead, murderous eyes you see in photos of Iosef Stalin and Jeffrey Dahmer.

When will "christians" get it through their thick, intolerant, self-congratulatory skulls that men of peace are INHERENTLY more spiritual than war mongers?!?!?!

22. They're confused. Kerry doesn't look like a brainwashed zombie.
If you've every looked into the eyes of really hardcore fundies (like the ones who used to put up "you're all going to hell" signs in Iowa City, where I went to school), you will see a bone-chilling deadness. No kidding. As if the hate they usually pour out of their mouths isn't enough. They call that "spiritually alive". :scared:

23. Here Is Kerry Speaking Eloquently About The Spiritual
Spirituality is a fundamental for us. I mean, it's the-it is the overpowering, driving foundation of most of the struggles that we go through here on earth, in my judgement. I am a believer in the Supreme Being, in God. I believe, without any question in this force that is so much larger and more powerful than anything human beings can conceivably define.

I think the more we learn about the universe, the more we learn about black holes and the expansion of the universe and the more we learn what we don't know about: our beginnings and-not just of us, but the universe itself, the more I find that people believe in this supreme being. I'm a Catholic and I practice but at the same time I have an open-mindedness to many other expressions of spirituality that come through different religions. I'm very respectful and am interested-I find it intriguing.

I went to Jerusalem a number of years ago on an official journey to Israel and I was absolutely fascinated by the 32 or so different branches of Catholicism that were there. That's before you even get to the conflict between Arabs and Jews. I have spent a lot of time since then trying to understand these fundamental differences between religions in order to really better understand the politics that grow out of them. So much of the conflict on the face of this planet is rooted in religions and the belief systems they give rise to. The fundamentalism of one entity or another.

So I really wanted to try to learn more. I've spent some time reading and thinking about it and trying to study it and I've arrived at not so much a sense of the differences but a sense of the similarities in so many ways; the value system roots and the linkages between the Torah, the Koran and the Bible and the fundamental story that runs through all of this, that connects us-and really connects all of us.

And so I've also always been fascinated by the Transcendentalists and the Pantheists and others who found these great connections just in nature, in trees, the ponds, the ripples of the wind on the pond, the great feast of nature itself. I think it's all an expression that grows out of this profound respect people have for those forces that human beings struggle to define and to explain. It's all a matter of spirituality.

I find that even - even atheists and agnostics wind up with some kind of spirituality, maybe begrudgingly acknowledging it here and there, but it's there. I think it's really intriguing.

For instance, thinking about China, the people and their policy-how do we respond to their view of us? And how do they arrive at that view of us and of the world and of life choices? I think we have to think about those things in the context of the spiritual to completely understand where they are coming from. So here are a people who, you know, by and large, have a nation that has no theory of creationism. Well, that has to effect how you approach things. And until we think through how that might effect how you approach things, it's hard to figure out where you could find a meeting of the minds when approaching certain kinds of issues.

So, the exploration of all these things I find intriguing. Notwithstanding our separation between church and state, it is an essential ingredient of trying to piece together an approach to some of the great vexing questions we have internationally.

33. "So I really wanted to try to learn more." That right there...
speaks volumes about the difference between Kerry and *. There's a sentence you've never heard from *, and never will.

It's a great response--was that off-the-cuff? He's a smart cookie...

29. You know what I see in his eyes? Solemnity.
Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 06:47 PM by wildflower
I see a man who has been through a war. Has seen untold suffering and death.

Maybe to some that is spiritual deadness. But an experience like that changes a person. You can see it.

EDITING to clarify I am talking about Kerry! Sorry about that!

31. Is that sarcasm?
I don't think he can conjure up solemnity. But I agree the weight of the dead is on his shoulders, pushing those greying hairs and facial lines to the limit.

are you talking about Bush? Maybe we got our wires crossed.

ON EDIT: I was responding to BleedStreet saying:

<<Host just said "when i look into the eyes of JK i see a spiritually dead individual....when i look into the eyes of GWB i see Gods love, peace and wisdom">>

Sorry, I should have clarified!

34. I see "the lights are on and someone's home." Beyond that,
I wouldn't presume to know about Kerry's inner life. But then, I like to pay attention to what people actually say and do as well, before I make up my mind about their character.

38. Absolutely.
As for the look, it's one I know very well (though not from war) and feel I recognize. And I know from my own experience that people can think it is coldness, deadness. It's just what I personally see when I look at him.

39. What sort of drug does that nit wit need to be on?
GWB's actions are not that of love. Not of peace. And hardly of wisdom. Not when the facts have proven him to be the utter opposite.

Unless that ninny equates love, peace, and wisdom with death. :shrug:

40. My kids were teasing me when I returned from voting...
They asked, "So, who'd you vote for, Mom?" I teased back by saying that I had a revelation in the voting booth.

"Jesus spoke to me."

"What did he say to you, mom?"

"He said, "Shrub is a phony. Vote for Kerry."
