40. That right there is the root of our country's problem.

Robertson and those like him. They are where the demonizing of us liberals comes from. They are where the lies originate, and they are the ones who make repeating those lies seem A-ok to their followers. And what's 100 times worse is they use the name of God to do it. There is no worse grifter than that.

The religious grifters, the political bagmen, and the billionaire fascists... they're all a clubby little cabal of psychopathic freaks together. They are THE root of our problem, right there.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if any of them would one day spontaneously combust.


Gosh, it's almost as if Paul Ryan and Pat Robertson have some coordination going on here.


You can bet there's a great deal of coordination there. Go to their churches sometime and you'll see it. Or better yet, their "Full Gospel Men's Prayer Breakfasts" etc. I can guarantee you the Robertsons and sycophants like Ryan are hand-in-glove. (How do I know this? For 5 years back in the 80's, through a twist of fate, I ended up in the top level of their "Leadership Group". I saw all the inner-sanctum secrets, the planning and the execution. Yes I got out and tried to tell people what they were up to, but no one would believe me. My ex was originally recruited to be who Bob Ehrlich later became. I made sure in my divorce to put enough truth of things -- about him and the church -- in the court record so that my ex's chances of public life would never happen. After him, Bob Ehrlich was chosen for their political fast-track, and in a few years he was governor of MD. Alan Keyes and Michael Steele were others who came up at the same time.)

All the denominations are in it, even Moonies, Mormons, Catholics, Jews, probably Muslims too. But it isn't all churches. It isn't the old-fashioned traditional ones, it's mostly the "spirit filled" ones, (charismatic and pentecostal, those into modern-day prophecy), i.e., irrational and anti-rational. Makes sense, doesn't it? You have to subvert the mind itself before the programming 'takes' well. If anyone is interested in more on that there are some very good writers on the subject... Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman who wrote Snapping and Holy Terror. I read both of those back in the 80's and I can tell you that both are right on target. I didn't know about their new third one until just now but it looks like a page-turner as well. If you want to know how the takeover of people's minds (and lives) is done, these two writers can tell you. They also know what there is to know about getting people out.
