What does your comment have to do with what Pat Robertson said?

Pat Robertson believes that to be safe from the wrath of God, people have to be Christian enough to suit him. Haiti was not so obviously (to Pat) the wrath of God was unleashed upon him. Do you seriously believe that if Pat Robertson and many like him found themselves weilding the reins of power in the US they would not try to fundamentally change things as radically as Obama is. They would but to the other side and while I would not mind living in "Leave it to Beaver" land, I would not force it upon anyone. Something I feel Pat Robertson and others like him would not hesitate to do. God's will is not meant to be forced upon anyone. Unless you screech "Allah Ahkbar" as you are doing it.

Agreed. The only good theocracy will come upon the return of Christ, which I so look forward too based on what I see in this country.

I think that’s the fundamental difference between the two camps: one side sees God as Sovereign, One Who intends to return mankind to obedience at some point in history, the other side sees God as sitting back and having no response to sin, either corporate, national sin or individual sin, as sin doesn’t matter any more, and everything’s cool with God, no matter the millions of babies aborted, the amount of pornography consumed or the tens of millions of married people who spit upon their sacred vows.

I believe in the God is Sovereign theory...He hates sin, judeges people and nations of the their sins, and at some point He will bring all mankind to obey Him and His laws “every knee shall bow, every tongue confess.”
