He lived long enough to become a caricature of himself.

People who protect children from those who would mutilate them and sexually exploit them, who protect pre born human life, treat people with non patronizing honesty but are not reluctant to denounce decadence and perversion and are willing to suffer for their decent beliefs and actions are to be celebrated, Rest in peace.

Never knew about his military service and multiple advanced degrees.

A true Renaissance man.

Gone to his reward. He was a humble giant.

He was a helpful, encouraging Christian voice, the relatively rare tomes I heard him.

May we all meet in Heaven with other Believers.

He told us that God told him Romney would win. That would’ve been a good time to retire from broadcasting.

RE: He told us that God told him Romney would win

Pat Robertson’s overall life and legacy was a good, positive one overall.

But yes, I wish Christian leaders would quit this “God told me” near term prediction stuff as if God directly speaks to them like the prophets Moses or Samuel. It’s just embarrassing when the predictions don’t pan out and you open yourself up to ridicule, and deservingly so.

Even earlier...in 1990, when Desert Storm first started, he said that God had told him that George H.W. Bush would win a landslide in 1992 and that an economic boom was coming. What we got instead was Bill Clinton and a recession.

Homo sapiens is stunningly bad at prophecy—and never seems to learn from their previous mistakes.

“A man has got to know his limitations.”

... Robertson served as the assistant adjutant of the First Marine Division in Korea.
He was promoted to first lieutenant in 1952

I'm a Desert Shield/Desert Storm era veteran. I didn't have to go over there. Our sister unit from Cherry Point did.

Thank God I got out before Clinton was installed.
