Funny thing is the DUmmies were just commenting today what a great leader Chavez is. A great man of the people like Castro. The only people that hate him are the rich and powerful. I think I'll stick with Pat on this one.
"I take it that unlike Liberia there's no diamond mines in Venezuela "
Ouch. That's definitely going to leave a mark. May I suggest an ice pack to take down the swelling?
Thumbs up to Pat! Chavez owes his life to politcal correctness. What a gnat.
Ditto!
Oh it's damage alright and Pat is so far out of line it's unbelievable. But I doubt with the bloodlust at a high among Republicans unfortunately you won't see much condemnation of Pat.
Has your head been in the sand? This despot INVITED TERROR supporting nations to conferences, plus he has said that he will support fighting against the "oppressive" USA.
Chavez has ALREADY killed in his own country..HE WILL help get Americans killed. He has and will torture and kill his own people. Have you NOT read the scripture that admonishes that we are to "rescue the perishing"? How is it murder to STOP a murderer?
It's sad watching Christians sell their souls to the GOP and the neo-con movement.
Mussolini was Italian too, you think he'd answer anything but "yes sir" if Hitler told him to level the Vatican.
Also, look at what happened in Catholic France in the eighteenth century, and in Catholic Spain and Mexico in the twentieth century. Sometimes Catholic countries are the Church's worst enemies.
Smile, Hugo.
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
--Matthew 10:34
What's Christ got to do with this? Free men acting in defense of freedom against a socio-fascist dictator is definitely a Christian act.
This guy is a war veteran too...
This is one of the few pastors who express their personal opinion in public... without considering the tendency of creating confusions on the Christian Evangelical's follower's or even drawing criticisms.
Pat, i would suggest that you keep complicated things personal rather than public...
Do you believe the Bible?
Read the parts where God advocates Israel wiping out it's enemies completely and totally.
Do you believe Christ is God incarnate?
Is God a hypocrite?
I would disagree. There is nothing unGodly or unBiblical to pray that God either change a man's heart or take him out.
I am a christian and I believe Mugabe should be assassinated. Chavez I don't know...he's just not genocidal. But an opportunity to assassinate Hitler or Stalin or Lenin or Pol Pot etc...?
I just don't have a problem with that.
hey i got news for you- i follow Jesus--but I aint Jesus---know whadimean
So God suggested assassinating Chavez?
I thought it was Pat Robertson...
my bad...
"Oh it's damage alright and Pat is so far out of line it's unbelievable. But I doubt with the bloodlust at a high among Republicans unfortunately you won't see much condemnation of Pat."
What a DUMB remark. I will grant that it may not be the best judgment for a minister to utter such, but it is idiotic to suggest that taking out a terrorist is "bloodlust". The head-in-sand Libertarian view of the world is akin to what the world faced before WW11, and the lack of proactive dealing with the despot Hitler resulted in MILLIONS upon MILLIONS dying. This cover-our-eyes-and-ears thinking can be DEADLY...to us.
Pat Robertson's just another preacher ~ in a division of Christianity that does not draw a class distinction between the professional clergy and the members.
