Yeah yeah I know, people hate to look back but if they refuse to then they are (along with us innocents) allowing history to repeat itself. Recent history has sucked. Look at what happened...9-11 then two unjustified and illegal wars later we still feel the sting of bad government. Over 5K of our troops killed, up to and maybe more than a million Arabs. 30K+ of our troops disabled and many thousands more coming home to face homelessness with PTS, addiction and few job opportunities. A bad economy.

I am just connecting the dots here. Only YOU can know if your vote for these GOPers in '00 and '04 was a huge mistake (or god's will)....all we can hope is that you don't get fooled again.

Religious leaders like Robertson are always supporting the GOP... with your contributions. Stop paying and praying for disasters already.



Pat Robertson's empire

"Who runs the Christian Coalition? "I have in my own, quiet way, been setting the agenda for a long time." — Pat Robertson, The New York Times Magazine, 8/9/98


Who does Pat Robertson support for President in 2000? A Republican, naturally. And it looks like it's Missouri Sen. John Ashcroft, who's been featured and promoted on Robertson's "700 Club" many times. Robertson and his wife Dede have contributed $10,000 to Ashcroft's PAC. On August 15, 1998, Robertson and Ashcroft appeared together at a Florida Christian Coalition "Faith and Family Gala" in Orlando.

In 1997, Pat Robertson sold his Family Channel to Rupert Murdoch for $1.9 billion. Now, with the exception of one program, the entire Family Channel schedule has been scrapped to make room for the new Fox Family Channel. Only Pat Robertson's "700 Club" will remain, a part of the deal when the televangelist sold the channel to Murdoch.

The objective is to produce programs that families can watch as a group, according to Fox Family executive vice president Maureen Smith, but according to the Focus on the Family's Pastor's Weekly Briefing, the new schedule does not reflect that strategy as much as it does the "Fox attitude."

For instance, instead of "Bonanza," viewers will get "Leo-Mania," an unauthorized look at Leonardo DeCaprio. "700 Club" viewers can also catch a Spice Girls concert.

Total revenue for the Christian Coalition in 1996 was $26,487,746. Before his departure as its executive director, Ralph Reed earned $196,213 annually.

Jeff Baran, executive director of the Christian Coalition of New York, is approaching ministers in the Empire State pitching for funds. He claims that in 1996, the Christian Coalition of New York distributed 2.6 million voter guides through a network of 2,400 churches. He hopes the number will increase significantly this year.

2006 - How the GOP Became God's Own Party

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/01/AR2006040100004.html

2010 - T-Baggers, Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnel...pffft.

Pat Robertson hides behind the cross cause he is a Nazi and i agree with IvictusV...good luck with that,all he wants is a white nation to accept Jesus

You Atheist are a work of art.Blabbing away every chance you get how evil the Christians are yet start a topic like this to insult,smear,and spew hate towards Pat Robertson.

Gotta love you two face double standards.I think I will pass up the opportunity to call Pat Robertson names like Nazi,Bozo,stupid,moron,etc,etc,etc,.I'm sure the you will get around to it along with calling the Sarah palin a stupid dumb whore.

Perhaps tomorrow you can start another post and call it something like "Dumb,stupid,miserable,idiot,Christian fell down stairs and broke his nose,ha,ha,ha!"Then you can sit back with a smile and tell me how hateful the Christians are towards society.

I never called Robertson a Nazi...but let's let his own words speak for themselves.

"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history." –Pat Robertson

"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." –Pat Robertson

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." –Pat Robertson

"It may be a blessing in disguise. ... Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. Haitians were originally under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. 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 French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal. Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other." –Pat Robertson, on the earthquake in Haiti that destroyed the capital and killed tens of thousands of people, Jan. 13, 2010

Why do Christians give money to this man to represent them?

I know a few Christians who are now embarrassed by him. I wonder why more aren't?

Not even an acknowledgement or *gasp*: an apology. Thumpers tend to believe that everything happens for a reason..."god's will" so they are constantly forgiven and only have to answer to "god" for their actions. Screw their fellow humans. Sometimes it's not their actions but their ignoring of events and things said...this silence is almost as bad or worse. When Thumpers stop supporting these morons then these morons will be ignored.
