Keep it straight: Religious righties don’t look to the Bible to learn what to believe. They look to the Bible to justify what they believe.

Love it!

I’m convinced, from having lived among them, that they live in a fog of absolute cluelessness about How Things Work. On any level. From governmental initiatives to economic underpinnings to the true inner lives of their spouses and children.

Or, for that matter, their own.

Thus they are utterly vulnerable to even quarter-assed explanations.

As I’ve always said, if someone can’t expand to reach the divine… they shrink the divine to fit them.

“Keep it straight: Religious righties don’t look to the Bible to learn what to believe. They look to the Bible to justify what they believe.”

Actually, “righties” look to charlatans to tell them that the Bible justifies what they believe… Most of them really do not have that much familiarity with the Bible itself.

It’s name is Pat, but I’m not quite sure what Pat is.
Is Pat a business or a religion? Is Pat a Christian or a money hungry fake? Whatever this thing called Pat is, it called for the destruction of a place called Orlando, the place I call home. It also said our country was attacked because of the seculars, the homosexuals, and internet porn. This creature called Pat laughs while he says terrible things, he is the poster boy for evil.
I wish him “well”.The followers of this creature and his club are either stupid beyond belief or just plain nuts.

I’m sure Pat endorsed Rudy because Rudy will kill Muslims in great numbers if elected, which pleases Pat.
Jesus would be proud………..

Now come on, he did leg press 200lb ten times, and that surely is the same thing as pressing 2,000lbs.

No truer words.

Q. What do you get when you mix an oaf with an imp?

A. Pat Robertson

Robertson should stick to praying away hurricanes and leave the political endorsements to people with sound minds.

Anything Bill does in the adultery department appears to be okay by Gail, doesn’t it? Just your everyday double-standard liberal hypocrisy…etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum

You just can’t let go of it, can you? It’s 2007, hello? Thousands have died for Bush’s lies, our country’s reputation is in tatters, we have loonies in power who are agitating for World War III, our Constitution is being shredded by the same, and on and on.. and you’re fixated on what? Bill’s philandering?

It is you who are truly Hillarious. While adultery is nothing to be proud of, it’s infinitesimally small potatoes in the greater scheme of things. Small things for small minds, and yours is one of the tinier ones I’ve seen laterly. And do keep sounding ridiculous, you give us all a needed laugh.

Gail Collins today proves again how she was so spectacularly out of her league and over her depth that the NYT had to gently dislodge her from her post overseeing the Op-Ed page. She and I share the same alma mater [Marquette], so I wanted to cut her a little slack when she got the job. But she made such a hash of it that I turned on her as did almost every sane reader of the few pieces allowed to be viewed free-of-charge back in her day.

Anything Bill does in the adultery department appears to be okay by Gail, doesn’t it? Just your everyday double-standard liberal hypocrisy—not even noteworthy because it happens on a daily basis in the NYT.

Maureen now is starting to turn on Hillary, as the deep-throat crowd appear to be past their cut-off [or is it penetration?] point with Hillarious and her wandering philandering Bubba-hubby.

My guess is that Robertson is only influential among the “crazy old coot” fans, who probably were going to vote for St. Rudy the Confabulator anyway, drawn by his obvious insanity. The endorsement just makes both of them look crassly willing to do anything for political power.

The big upside for us is that it opens Rudy to a gazillion questions about whether he agrees with each of Robertson’s loony pronouncements, and builds a platform for expanding the meme that Rudy has surrounded himself with nutjobs and crooks, including Podhoretz, Kerik, etc.

“Rudy il Duce” - has a certain ring to it, no? And Robertson - if there’s anyone who’s jumped the shark, it’s him. And yet I’m sure he still has some influence with whoever still watches The 700 Club.

Do see the intrepid Max Blumenthal’s infiltration of the “Value Voters Summit”, hosted by Dobson’s Focus on the Family and its lobbying arm, The Family Research Council:

These people are desperate, and a lot more serious than Pat Robertson.
