US evangelist says quake-hit Haiti made 'devil' pact
AFP ^ | 1/13/10

US evangelical preacher Pat Robertson levied blame Wednesday for the devastating earthquake in Haiti on Haitians themselves, saying that the country "swore a pact to the devil" at its creation.

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," Robertson said on his Christian Broadcasting Network show "The 700 Club." 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," said the 80-year-old former presidential candidate.

"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," the televangelist said.

"Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other."

They did make a pact with the devil.

Whether it resulted in earthquakes, only God knows.

They also made deals with Clinton who spent our blood and treasure propping up that psychopath Aristede.

Think of California. Agricultural prosperity occurs on both sides of the mountains, and extraordinary industrial development has arisen on the west side. The prosperity exists because of individual decisions in a free society. Haiti has seldom seen the light of democratic institutions.

The lack of rainfall because of the mountain range also means the Dominican Republic is much more subject to hurricanes than Haiti, but has still been able to achieve over 10 times the GDP.
