Condi: "The Lord Jesus Christ is going to come on time If we just wait."
While defensive about race allegations after Katrina, Rice conceded the response could have been better.

2. This statement by Condi almost equals her "who would have
thought...." She has got to be one of the stupidest "smart" people in the world. Everytime she opens her mouth she proves she's been hanging around Bush too long.

95. she said in 1st term it was wonderful there were daily Bible readings in W
WH.......and that it was great to work in a place like that

heard or read this somewhere

possibly from same pentecostal who talked of a prayer for healing taking place when he was in Ashcroft's office......how you could FINALLY just feel God's presence in the WH and what a wonderful change that was

That Jesus isn't going to be pleased with her complicity in mass murder. Poor Condi... She forgot that when Jesus said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself," he didn't mean kill them.

Well fuck her too!

Not that I expect logic from someone who flings around the J-word to score political points.

But this is about the clumsiest use of the technique I've ever seen.

Matthew 24:36 - "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."

Now I'm not a Christian, so maybe I shouldn't judge, but isn't it just a wee bit . . . er . . . blasphemous? . . . to talk about your god as though he were a subway train?

47. Condi was probably wondering why the poor...
Edited on Mon Sep-05-05 12:36 PM by Dunvegan
...and dispossessed in NOLA didn't just jump on the Streetcar Named Desire.

Tone. Deaf. Spin.

Someone must have snatched her up in Bush PR and blasted her for making bad photo ops in NYC.

Told her to get to New Orleans and do the "My People" thing...big time.

Condi, probably having never gone into a church except for a wedding, was stewing on the plane out wondering what to say when she noticed all the plebes thanking God and praising Jesus...I can see the thought bubble forming over her helmet hair: "Jesus...mumble..mumble...that's the ticket!"

So, just like George's "Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, I won't be fooled again," Condi "made up" something she thought sounded like "Black Folk Church Speak."

Tone. Deaf.

Oh...and the "Bush's Administration's 'Send them home to Jesus' relocation plan?" is a brilliant swipe, and yet uncomfortably too darn close to the reality.

A filthy bunch, to be sure. I am also equally sure that they all invoked religion when confronted with their monstrous acts.

Say, did Condi's "Imelda Moment" reach Cable TV Pravda?

I'll bet it didn't. Such information is not permitted to be given such a wide audience.

:wtf:

Okay this is beyond outrageous. Either our government is being run by:
1) Psychotic right wing ideologues
2) The most rapacious and cynical bunch of pseudo-intellectual cultists ever to stage a government takeover.
3) We're going to be treated to a spectacular public relations stunt sometime under Karl Rove's watch.
4) All of the above?

42. She said it, but look at the circumstances. She was attending church

and was asked to speak from the pulpit. So she was speaking to a group of fellow Christians in a church service, not making this comment in a press conference.

I can't believe I'm defending Condi Rice, but I don't see this as problematic. Her buying Ferragamos while people were drowning is more troubling to me. In a crisis, I think all hands should be on deck, all leaves cancelled until the crisis is resolved.

Someone in her position should always consider carefully what she says in public, no matter where that is.

I think it's a huge problem that she is in such a powerful position to sell out her fellow black Americans in such a public fashion.

71. Perhaps she should have talked about the Bible verse that goes
something like, "What you do to the least among you, you do unto me."

Leave the Rapture sermon for another day.

I certainly hope that she's not one of those who believes that the U.S. should hurry Christ's Second Coming by doing everything that the Israelis tell us to do. I support Israel's right to exist within its internationally agreed upon boundaries, but I'd hate to see our foreign policy slavishly following some of the wilder Likud fantasies.

52. Is he coming on amtrak or by bus?
"The Lord Jesus Christ is going to come on time." She added: "If we just wait." And then she praised Bush for getting the trains to run on time, thus expediting the return of Jesus who, it was rumored, would be arriving on the 3:32 from Cincinnati. Somehow or other, a homily drawn from The Sermon on the Mount and directed toward her boss might have been more appropriate.

In other words. . . don't worry right now about human suffering/dying or the fact that the same old familair Republican corporations will make money of this disaster, because the Rapture is coming. I knew it!

I have a friend (a not-for profit manager) who says that Condi is a member of a very fundamentalist (and non-mainstream) Christian church which is heavily into rapture prophecy.

92. in pentecostal and other churches where 'end times' theology is strong
there is periodic discussion about when Christ will return

many think we are now living in the 'end times'......speakers and preachers talk about 'we/you have been born for such a time as this' (ie, witnessing in the last days)

some speak and preach that 'Christ will come in His own time' ie, He will be 'on time'

BTW, churches believing in 'end times' theology have been emphasizing the last 5 or so years that 'Christ will not return until all the world has heard the gospel'......that's one of the reasons many think we're in the last days: through TV and air travel permitting crusades around the world, everyone has the chance to hear the gospel today

....this necessity that all hear the gospel before Christ returns is behind the Praying through the 10-40 Window project of Ted Haggard in CO Springs (and others)

see, among many examples,

http://www.win1040.com/the1040window.cfm

What is the 10 / 40 Window?

The 10/40 Window is located from 10 degrees to 40 degrees north of the equator, which includes Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

Nearly 4 billion people live here, including 90 percent of the world's poorest of the poor. It is estimated that 1.6 billion of these people have never had the chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ - not even once!
The seat of every major non-Christian religion - Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Animism, Atheism, and Sikhism - is headquartered in the 10/40 Window.
In many of the 67 countries represented in the 10/40 Window, witnessing the Christian Gospel means death. Truly, the 10/40 Window remains the darkest and most inhospitable territory to the cause of Christ and represents the greatest remaining stronghold of Satan.
Two-thirds of the world’s population (4 billion) live in the 67 nations of the 10/40 Window.
95% of the people are unevangelized.
90% of the people are the poorest of the poor, ...

58. "Our beloved Republic is in the hands of madmen!"
Quote from Julius Caesar in this week's episode of the new HBO series "Rome."

It seems to fit.

59. I notice all the God talk has been ratcheted up by bush and his
administration, even beyond their usual pandering. Guess why. Now that the 'strong leader' misnomer has been shot down in flames, they are now appealing to the basest of their base, trying to keep, at least, the Christian man misnomer. Watch for it over the coming days, it will be front and center.

62. And what is the Lord Jesus Christ going to do? Give them
absolution for allowing so much death to happen and then raise the dead to get them off the hook? I don't think so.

Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon. No premature coming on Jayzus' part, no siree! :rofl:

65. Anybody who believes that Jesus is coming back is just plain
deluded. Sorry.

The earth has been here for five billion years. Jesus was a human who lived 2,000 years ago. Believing in the Rapture is pure idiocy.

I cannot imagine a so-called intelligent person in this century who has a position of very high authority relying on this. Fucking nutjob.

67. Anyone else find the
Clorox Bleach ad ("a new bleach for a new kind of white") just a tad bit ironic, since it was put right next to the Condi article? :evilgrin:

He picked up a few thousand souls and departed again. Condi was too busy shopping to notice.

MOBILE, Alabama (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday toured areas of her home state hit by Hurricane Katrina and disputed claims her government had been slow to respond because most of the victims were black.
