WRONG DISCUSSION

By Fr. Wilson (articles ) | October 13, 2004 8:01 AM

"When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.' Edwards made the unprecedented campaign promises during 30-minute speech at Newton High School gym in Newton, Iowa..." (AP)

Yes. We've been having the wrong discussion. If John Kerry came to Mass in St Louis, HE should give ARCHBISHOP BURKE holy communion.

An appeal from our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Mirus:

    The only thing good that can be said for the last oh, century of exaggeration, bombast, and cunningly contrived slime in American advertizing, is that people tune out the "rhetoric" of American political campaigning. Only liberal intellectuals could possibly take Mr. Edwards' cow flops seriously.

    Has anyone ever heard Christopher Reeves or Michael Fox ever mention the word "God" in any of their rhetoric?

    If lives were not at stake, this campaign on the part of the Democrats would be totally comedic, including their compatriots in the media, the Churches of the Newly Improved Liberal World, and an assorted cast of thousands from Hollywood and the moribund world of the arts. Is it possible to top John Edwards and John "Nuisance" Kerry? Can any person with functioning brain cells possibly vote for them?

    I think John and John are spending too much time around the not-so-Revs. Al and Jesse... Lawyer, heal thyself!

    Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
