Pat Robertson
ROBERTSON IS LYING. ALL ONE NEEDS TO DO IS LOOK BACK AT HIS STATEMENTS ON 700 CLUB TO SEE HE WAS ALL FOR THE IRAQ WAR. I REMEMBER HIM SAYING HE HAD A MEETING WITH BUSH IN WHICH HE SAID HE TOLD BUSH ARABS ONLY UNDERSTAND FORCE AND THAT WE NEEDED TO TAKE ACTION. THAT WAS DURING THE CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH THE UN LEADING UP TO THE WAR. HE IS DISCREDITED ON HIS OWN PROGRAM. BOTTOM LINE: HE WAS FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ.
Pat needs to join Carter and Ford in the old fools home.
Of course you would post something like this. I wonder if God told Robertson the President had secret plans for the draft also.
Whatever Pat is smokin these days is strong, well, it's probably for gloucoma or somethin... (wink)
As an evangelical Christian I wished he would just shut his mouth about anything to do with this election until it is over. Nothing good can from it. Anyone who cares what he says is already voting for Bush.
Genesis 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Robertson has got to be a Democrat plant. This move on his part is not unlike his unwise, divisive comments in the wake of 9-11. Didn't Robertson used to work with Jimmy Carter?
If Bush said this he was right. The war was a cakewalk. We have been in the postwar phase for awhile now and it's been more difficult than expected.
This has made Paula and the Democrats very happy, but is temporary.
Next war we promise to be careful to destroy the enemy, injure no civilians, protect antiquities, guard public works and be sure our soldiers are polite to all prisoners.
A bunch of leftist " REVS" have been saying all kinds of things, yet we don't see a darn thing about that in a negative way do we? This is just stupid, and another way to attack the president.
Do you think this is payback for joining with the evangelicals in order to retain power?
Each side made a deal with the Devil.
Republicans have been forced away from the mainstream in the name of Power and Evangelicals have been forced to dirty themselves in the name of God.
Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
The Tyrannicide and the Catholic Church.
There is nothing improper about the commentaries made by the Evangelical preacher, Pat Robertson, referring to the possible tyrannicide of the Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez.
Tyrannicide has been sanctioned as morally compatible with the teachings of the Catholic Church, based on the social doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas. Chavez has reaffirmed his intentions of establishing in Venezuela a genocidal regime following the Cuban model and the commands of Fidel Castro.
What are we going to wait for?, Allow Chavez to surpass Castro’s dreadful record of 20,000 shot by firing squads, and for more than half million of Venezuelans to suffer political imprisonment as the Cubans have suffered in Castro’s dungeons inside the Island prison of Cuba.
Chavez, like Hitler, was elected democratically only to become a dictator later. Castro kept well hidden his aims of establishing a Stalinist regimen in Cuba until he consolidated this power over the Cuban people. But, as Hitler exposed his diabolic plan in “Mein Kamp”, Chavez has no only openly and publicly bragged about his plans of imposing a communist regimen following the Cuban model, but he has put Venezuela under Castro’s control using his thugs and repressive apparatus to keep subjugated the people of Venezuela.
If Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez’s life had been terminated, how many lives would have been saved and how much suffering humanity would have been spared.
In fact, tyrannicide is so justified that His Holiness Pius XII gave his approval for the plot by a group from the German’s army intelligence service planning to kill Hitler.
For St. Thomas Aquinas, tyrannicide is to opt for the lesser of two evils. Pacifism is a morally correct personal option, but is an option that is morally unaceptable for the state. A person might choose not to resist an aggression to the extreme of loosing his life, but a government has the duty to defend his people.
A pacifist might loose his life without offering resistance; but he cannot impassible allow in his presence the murder of an innocent person. Those are basic principles of Catholic teachings that are being ignored in the middle of the assault of the totalitarian correct ideological movement where political correct positions prevail even though they might be morally incorrect options.
