Gonna be kinda awkward for Pride Week. Maybe make it Prude Week.
So, he’s married? And they don’t ever put any extra spice in their yum-yum? He never gives the little man in the boat a tongue-lashing? Eats at the Y? Face down in Tenderness Junction?
Shorter Pat Robertson: “God wants the stupid, ignorant and gullible as worshippers so he can point to coincidences and claim credit for them as miracles.”
Looks like an MP5 to me, which is an even stranger choice. You’d expect an M4 or 1911, or at least something that’s not closely associated with well-funded, often European, government paramilitary organizations.
*O Lord, we thank thee for the wisdom of Mr. Robertson’s words of truth. We know you called Mr. Robertson to be your servant when he answered your call to serve our country in the USMC during the Korean conflict. You showed your power when you sent him to the front lines of Roppongi where he gave his full measure and devotion as our nation’s finest liquor officer in Japan. And then you called him to attend Yale law school, and challenged him with the NY Bar, which you would not let him pass. Praise you O Lord!
And now you’ve let Pat speak from the heart when talks about humble Africans and miracles. O Lord, we thank you for the brotherhood that you bestowed between Pat and his brother Baptist Charles Taylor. And how Brother Taylor spread your Word through the power of the aiding and abetting in mass rape, sexual slavery, and a new, more contemporary re-telling of Pat’s favorite hymn: “Onward Christian Child Soldiers.”
And then Pat’s darkest day: to see his brother Taylor be persecuted and punished for his faith. Satan deceived many by twisting Taylor’s love for his people into 11 counts for war crimes. And even worse-- allowing Satan to snatch away all those gold and diamond mines that our brother Pat would have most certainly invested only for the benefit of the people of Liberia. Why our brother Robertson used his Operation Blessing planes to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson’s mines in Liberia. We know your will Lord, someday you will prevail and allow Liberia’s wealth to be used by your humble servant Pat to spread the glorious news of Jesus Christ!
Thank you Jesus for your servant Pat Robertson and his works–for they glorify our Father in Heaven!
Yes, now that you mention it. I mean, I really don’t think this will pass in the first place, but I can’t help picturing a debacle on the level of Jessica Ahlquist’s case in Rhode Island.
Au contraire - Republicans can and will say whatever the hell they want. Obama offered them a dumptruck full of carrots on PPACA and they’re still claiming he refused to compromise. Their base are not overly concerned with the truth.
The Republican position is defined as being 100 yards to the right of whatever Obama is willing to agree to. His making concessions just means they have to move the goal posts again. If Obama agreed to drown the government in a bath tub, they would argue that the bath tub was too big.
You may have read about the murders of law enforcement officials in one county in Texas and how it seems likely they were done by members of the Aryan Brotherhood gang. The primary suspect in one of the murders is Evan Spencer Ebel, a known member of the gang.
But Ricky Perry had this to say:
Appealing to his Aryan Brotherhood base, I suppose.
