Albright is obsessed with people of faith. She's more worried about people of faith than she is about al Qaeda.
And the downside of that is?
"When he says 'God is on our side'..."
When did Bush state that? Or is it just another of the leftwing's lies?
"We have forgotten the gracious hand which has preserved
us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened
us, and have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our
hearts that all these blessings were produced by some
superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with
unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to
feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving Grace, too
proud to pray to the God that made us."
Abraham (Over The Top) Lincoln
"President Bush's certitude about what he believes in, and the division between good and evil, is, I think, different," said Albright, who has just published a book on religion and world affairs. "The absolute truth is what makes Bush so worrying to some of us."
So thinking Al Qaeda and Saddam are evil is somehow a religious thing? Oh I see, so what does this dyke call them, "poor miunderstood rogues?" Good gosh, I get so sick of this liberal conceit that Bush is some sort of religious nut. The only time he brings up religion is when some media puke tries to bait him with religious questions. I'm not sure how thinking it's evil for North Korea to throw entire families into slave labor gulags is somehow a sign someone is a religious nut. I guess unless you see "shades of gray" in North Koreans being slaughtered in death camps or Al Qaeda decapitating hostages, you're just some sort of religious fanatic.
By the way, I love this b-tch claiming Clinton was a "religious man." LOL, please, this is this witch's idea of a religious man, a serial philanderer, liar and a felon. Go away hag, why the hell is this never-was (as opposed to a has-been) still getting print space for her utterly braindead and ugly partisan remarks as if she's an expert in anything?
Bill's so religious that women get on their knees in his presence.
The ridiculous kindergaretn teacher again reminds us why she was such an embarrasment.
Incompetence on display.
Klinton a man of faith? Faith in his erection maybe.
Oh, Clinton and Maddie had the perfect formula for not alienating Moslems LOL
"I worked for two presidents who were men of faith, and they did not make their religious views part of American policy,"
...And these two dolts exhibited the worst foreign policy of the last century. Your point is well taken.
I concur.
Madeleine Albright is forgetting she and Klinton bombed the Christian Serbs while siding and appeasing with the moslem kla islamofacists
First, the term faith certainly implies faith in something specific. Call it absolute, but anything called faith that is not absolute is not real faith. May I introduce Ms. Albright to the term doubt.
"Some of his language is really quite over the top," Albright told Reuters on Sunday during a trip to London to promote her book. "When he says 'God is on our side', it's very different from (former U.S. President Abraham) Lincoln saying 'We have to be on God's side.'"
Well, I agree with that. Though I think Bush said there is a difference between good and evil and God is not neutral between them. The rest is an obvious implication. It is evil to murder 3,000 people. It is good to try and stop them from doing it again.
If the Dems pull off the redefinition of faith as something ambiguous, then they are true marketing geniuses. It is possible, sadly, as exampled by the gay lobby's redefinition of basic and obvious truths. So who knows. And if faith is ambiguous and good and evil are indistinguishable, then Christianity is nothing at all. I suppose that is their ultimate aim.
Back to her Lincoln quote...that really is a great quote. We should ask ourselves if we are on God's side. I see no evidence that Ms. Albright is seeking any such knowledge.
Whenever the subject of religion comes up here I always mention first that I'm an atheist, so I'm certainly no apologist for Christians or Christianity.
This type of thing which Albright reveals and lefties quote all the time has always amused me.
As I see it, Christians believe God's will will always be done because God is the creator and all that.
The REAL problem they seem to have with this quote is the sense of hubris, and there is an attempt to compare Bush to some kind of free-floating religious extremism.
But to me, what the quote is saying is what ANY Christian who's attempting ANYTHING would say. I mean, is she suggesting that John Kerry, you know, ANOTHER 'good Christian', believed that it was God's will he NOT be President, but he was just smart enough to keep his mouth shut? Is that what Albright is saying? Is she suggesting God has a place in every religious person's life EXCEPT if they choose to become president of the most powerful nation on Earth?
She and her ilk toss that line out there and hope people are shocked by the apparent gall, but they don't want you to actually consider the point, because then, in context, it's not quite what Albright and co. are trying to imply.
Matthew 7:15
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
Matthew 7:16
"You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
Matthew 7:17
"Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Matthew 7:18
"A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
Matthew 7:19
"Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Matthew 7:20
"Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Matthew 7:22
"Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
Matthew 7:23
"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

THIS IS THE DEMS VIEW ON CHRISTIANS:

READ THE FBI REPORT!
"...they did not make their religious views part of American policy."
Got that part right, Mad! Let's see...........
Carter - gave away the Panama Canal; refused to help the Shah of Iran, setting up our problems in the Middle East today; helped the fanatic Muslims in Iran take our citizens hostage; screwed up our economy; never met a communist dictator he didn't like, etc.
Clinton - serial fornicator and liar; used our military and bombs to take the heat off of his screwups; did nothing to stop Bin Laden; ruined innocent peoples' lives; Arkancide, etc.
Yep, Mad, those are the actions of Christians, all right.
