A Few Good Quotes from my Good old Buddy....PAT ROBERTSON!
I figured I'd give everyone here a few hearty laughs:


"When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?' the media challenged me. `You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.'" --from Pat Robertson's "The New World Order," page 218.

"The mission of the Christian Coalition is simple," says Pat Robertson. It is "to mobilize Christians -- one precinct at a time, one community at a time -- until once again we are the head and not the tail, and at the top rather than the bottom of our political system." Robertson predicts that "the Christian Coalition will be the most powerful political force in America by the end of this decade." And, "We have enough votes to run this country...and when the people say, 'We've had enough,' we're going to take over!"--Pat Robertson

"The Constitution of the United States, for instance, is a marvelous document for self-government by the Christian people. But the minute you turn the document into the hands of non-Christian people and atheistic people they can use it to destroy the very foundation of our society. And that's what's been happening." -- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, Dec. 30, 1981

"It is interesting, that termites don't build things, and the great builders of our nation almost to a man have been Christians, because Christians have the desire to build something. He is motivated by love of man and God, so he builds. The people who have come into (our) institutions (today) are primarily termites. They are into destroying institutions that have been built by Christians, whether it is universities, governments, our own traditions, that we have.... The termites are in charge now, and that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has arrived for a godly fumigation."--Pat Robertson, New York Magazine, August 18, 1986

"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, 1993 interview with Molly Ivins

"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, fundraising letter, 1992

"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, "The 700 Club," 1/8/92

"You see what happened in 1962. They took prayer out of the schools. The next year the Supreme Court ordered Bible reading taken from the schools. And then progressing, liberals, most of them atheistic educators, have pushed to remove all religion from the lives of children...The people who wrote the "Humanist Manifesto" and their pupils and their disciples are in charge of education in America today." --Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," January 13, 1995

"I am bound by the laws of the United States and all 50 states...I am not bound by any case or any court to which I myself am not a party...I don't think the Congress of the United States is subservient to the courts...They can ignore a Supreme Court ruling if they so choose."--Pat Robertson, Washington Post, June 27,1986)

"How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top?"--Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p.227

"Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals--the two things seem to go together."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/21/93

"I think we ought to close Halloween down. Do you want your children to dress up as witches? The Druids used to dress up like this when they were doing human sacrifice... are acting out Satanic rituals and participating in it, and don't even realize it."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 10/29/82

1. I used to dress up as Batman or Mickey Mouse for Halloween.
I don't remember either of them doing a human sacrifice!

3. When did the druids do human sacrifices? When did satanic rituals become
a part of druid rituals, as far as I can tell the druids didn't believe in the christen satan. Leave it to Pat to stir the pot with no information and christen fear tactics. Just like fundies every oct. 31 running around telling young mothers that witchs are going to steal their babies.

5. Hah! Biggest termite in our history?
Edited on Fri Apr-28-06 02:25 PM by louis-t
George W. Bush! Or cockroach, I can't decide. Because I'm not the decider. Bush has dismantled, or tried to dismantle, everything that worked in our government. FEMA was a world class, finely tuned, highly respected orginization until he got hold of it. After a natural disaster, people would proudly wear FEMA hats, shirts, etc., for months. Now, holy Joe and the rest have decided FEMA needs to be abolished. He hasn't destroyed Social Security yet, but he tried.
Oh yeah, Pat Robertson is an ass.

7. what!!!
I thought I had heard all of his craziest statements, but saying that American Christians face the worst persecution of any group in history, and he specifically mentions the Jews in Nazi Germany, well....that is just too insane to comprehend.

TERMITE MOUNDS

Termites make up 1/2 of the biomass of the African plains. Termite mounds are made of sun-baked mud. Inside are a series of tunnels that exit through chimneys which warm in the sun, drawing cooler air and oxygen from the bottom of the mound up. As shown on other pages in this website, termites are an important food for many animals and birds (eg. mongoose, tawny eagle). The mound may serve as home for colonies of dwarf mongoose and as lookouts for lions, cheetahs, leopards and topi. Monitor lizards warm themselves in the air rising from mound chimneys. http://www.birdingafrica.net/page183.html


(But hey, those are only facts -- don't let them get in the way!)

10. Robertson jokes about Clinton assassination
http://www.oasismag.com/Issues/9808/news-main-patisinsane.html


Christian Coalition Founder and Chairman Pat Robertson recently implied that President Clinton is deserving of assassination.

On The 700 Club, Robertson's daily television program, Robertson included the following comments in a story about the debate over whether members of the Secret Service should be protected from subpoena:

I guess their thinking is, well, if they can squeal on the President, so to speak, then he'll slip out the back alley by himself, without a Secret Service detail, and then some gunman will assassinate him. Well if you've got a philandering president, maybe that's what, ya know (laughter) ... I mean, he can take his chances."

People For the American Way Foundation President Carole Shields said "Implying that the President should be assassinated, even in jest, is completely irresponsible. Pat Robertson's comments would be unbelievable if he didn't have such a long track record of ridiculous statements."
