I am waiting for Pat Robertson to blame Saten. They [Haitians] were under the heel of the French. . . . And they got together and swore a pact to the Devil. They said ‘We will serve you if you will get us free from the prince.' True story. And so the Devil said, ‘OK it's a deal.' And they kicked the French out. . . . But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another." Wait no longer, the low life religious scumbag has already said Chile deserved it....egads. "Robertson Claims “God Even Angrier with Chile than Haiti” "Citing what he described as the “the persecution of a great hero who rid their land of Godless communists” as a possible cause, prominent TV evangelist and amateur seismologist Pat Robertson today argued that the 8.8 magnitude of the earthquake that struck Chile early this morning should serve as a warning to the population that “God is even angrier with them than he is with the people of Haiti.” “If I had to guess, I’d say it must have to do with Chile’s persecution and attempted prosecution of their great former leader, and a personal hero of mine, Augusto Pinochet – who, it should be noted, had never been convicted of a crime when the Lord called him home three years ago.” The popular host of ‘The 700 Club’ and longtime bingo circuit icon also added, “General Pinochet not only assisted the CIA in the overthrow of Chile’s Marxist government, but is widely credited with personally arranging the meetings of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of his countrymen with Jesus.” General Pinochet, who spent the last eight years of his life fighting prosecution on human rights and other charges before succumbing to congestive heart failure in December 2006, could not be reached for comment, even by Robertson. The General–turned-Dictator has long been considered a transformative figure in the field of Crimes Against Humanity as a result of his landmark policy of ‘Forced Disappearance’, and was even honored in 1998 with the first-ever arrest warrant for a former head of state under the principle of ‘universal jurisdiction’ by Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon, who is currently investigating former Bush Administration officials for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. For his part, Robertson, who reportedly lobbied then-President George W. Bush on behalf of former Liberian Dictator and accused Human Rights criminal Charles Taylor in exchange for lucrative gold mining contracts, says that he is “praying that the people of Chile will heed this warning, and never again blaspheme against God and international free-market commerce by nationalizing their most precious natural resources.” http://thedesperateblogger.com/2010/02/breaking-robertson-claims-%e2%80%9cgod-even-angrier-with-chile-than-haiti%e2%80%9d/ The craziness of the religious baffles me sometimes. How can they even consider that a natural event has anything to do with punishment. We don't live in the middle ages anymore. We have the intelligence to understand the natural events on this planet now. Blaming them on god or people who god don't like is ridiculous. |

I hope everyone stays safe. It is so good that we have the ability now to be aware of these things before hand.

The whole coastline here is evacuated but so far it's looking like a no show thankfully. They thought it would hit the west side of the Big Island around 11 or so
