DKW 86 7,441 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 http://www.johnlocke.org/lockerroom/lockerroom.html?id=11854 What would Jesus think? Ask John Edwards Posted by Jon Ham at 10:35 AM John Edwards thinks Jesus would be "appalled" at the selfishness of Americans these days and their lack of concern for the poor and less fortunate. Speaking to the Christian Web site Beliefnet.com, Edwards said: "I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs," Edwards told the site. "I think he would be appalled, actually." Edwards thinks these deep thoughts as he lounges in his 2,800-square-foot beach house (latest tax value $2,649,317) on exclusive and gated Figure Eight Island near Wilmington. And he also gives these issues great thought as he lounges in, well, John's Lounge, in his 28,000-square-foot home in Orange County near Chapel Hill. Here's the beach house, which, by the way, the "suffering" poor cannot get near, thanks to the guard and the gate that keep the hoi polloi off the entire island. Hypocrisy just seems like another word in the English langauge when we talk about Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger in Spain 0 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 $2.6 mil would feed and clothe a lot of unfortunates. Imagine how much he could have helped those Katrina people he was using as stage props when he announced his candidacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
