Gosh, it's almost as if Paul Ryan and Pat Robertson have some coordination going on here.
Pat Robertson in a religious diatribe yesterday called the Democratic Party the party of gays, godlessness, and whatever else, and claimed they are now going after God. Robertson, 82, jumped on the radical religious right and Republican machines anti-Constitution attack on Democrats for not including thew word God in the DNC platform. Robertson, a multi-millionaire and televangelist, claimed he was astounded that Democrats have insulted Catholics and labor unions.

I think the GOP should change their motto to : You give us our tax breaks and we'll give you your theocracy.

I know you won't ever read this, but I want to put this meme into the world so that maybe in some small way your black heart FEELS it when the moment of your passing comes. You will die and it will be far sooner than most people who hear your constant diatribes of hate and exclusion, and even those bloodless zealot adherents that listen to you who out live you won't do so by very much.
You preach to old, scared white people and you try to make sure they stay scared of everything in their twilight years. You bastardize the teachings of Christ and use only the passages and out of context words that support your hateful ideology. Instead of preaching a message of love and helping the older generations reflect on their lives with love and hope for a better world through the lessons they have imparted on their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, you choose to terrorize them with apocalyptic visions of doom and fire and brimstone and the destruction of the world.
Instead of focusing on the positives and finding ways to emulate Jesus Christ's example of caring for the poor and standing with the marginalized, you are a modern day Pharisee, a hypocrite and an ugly person who deserves to die a lonely, excruciating death. The day your black heart stops beating is a going to be a positive day for humanity and the day that your lungs stop recycling oxygen is going to be a net positive for civility in America as well as a release from tyranny for the poor souls enthralled in your ugly grasp.
I take great comfort in the fact that even if I do not survive to outlive you, my own children have been raised in an environment of acceptance and tolerance that ensures your message dies with you, while my own beliefs and feelings of tolerance and love will stay on this Earth far after I pass. You cab scream hate from the highest mountains while my children (and their eventual offspring) will practice love and caring from the ground level.
YOU LOSE PAT. (and I don't even have to pimp out the Bible or Jesus to beat you in the end)

(9,385 posts)Robertson and those like him. They are where the demonizing of us liberals comes from. They are where the lies originate, and they are the ones who make repeating those lies seem A-ok to their followers. And what's 100 times worse is they use the name of God to do it. There is no worse grifter than that.
The religious grifters, the political bagmen, and the billionaire fascists... they're all a clubby little cabal of psychopathic freaks together. They are THE root of our problem, right there.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if any of them would one day spontaneously combust.
You can bet there's a great deal of coordination there. Go to their churches sometime and you'll see it. Or better yet, their "Full Gospel Men's Prayer Breakfasts" etc. I can guarantee you the Robertsons and sycophants like Ryan are hand-in-glove. (How do I know this? For 5 years back in the 80's, through a twist of fate, I ended up in the top level of their "Leadership Group". I saw all the inner-sanctum secrets, the planning and the execution. Yes I got out and tried to tell people what they were up to, but no one would believe me. My ex was originally recruited to be who Bob Ehrlich later became. I made sure in my divorce to put enough truth of things -- about him and the church -- in the court record so that my ex's chances of public life would never happen. After him, Bob Ehrlich was chosen for their political fast-track, and in a few years he was governor of MD. Alan Keyes and Michael Steele were others who came up at the same time.)
All the denominations are in it, even Moonies, Mormons, Catholics, Jews, probably Muslims too. But it isn't all churches. It isn't the old-fashioned traditional ones, it's mostly the "spirit filled" ones, (charismatic and pentecostal, those into modern-day prophecy), i.e., irrational and anti-rational. Makes sense, doesn't it? You have to subvert the mind itself before the programming 'takes' well. If anyone is interested in more on that there are some very good writers on the subject... Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman who wrote Snapping and Holy Terror. I read both of those back in the 80's and I can tell you that both are right on target. I didn't know about their new third one until just now but it looks like a page-turner as well. If you want to know how the takeover of people's minds (and lives) is done, these two writers can tell you. They also know what there is to know about getting people out.

(19,369 posts)No offense intended to our DUers of the Morman faith, but I can tell you from a lot of exposure to fundies of Robertson's stripe that he does not in any way consider Romney to be a "Christian". The truth is, the religious right has made Faustian bargain in endorsing Romney, and when he loses they're going to be backpedaling like a bunch of third string cornerbacks.
