More reasons for Jesus to be proud of the religious right

a) What kind of dope is this guy on?
b) When did the meek-shall-inherit, peace-on-earth types become the war mongerers?
c) Robertson is 75; maybe he's senile, which makes me feel great about him being a leader of the most influential political movement today.
d) Rumsfeld's comment about how we don't "do that kind of thing" is pretty comical.

Hey Pete! Glad you're back and checking in. My sense is that there are a lot of folks in the religious right who identify with Roberston and that he believes he speaks for them. They have, after all, voted with their check books, as this insightful column points out:

There's got to be more to it than what it seems. Robertson is notorious for supporting dictators that allow him to set up things such as diamond mines in his country and denouncing ones that don't let him exploit their third world labor.

Yes Pat Robertson owns diamond mines in Liberia and West Africa.

Hi Kathy!

Even though the labels have been assigned to him, I see this man as neither religious or conservative.

Also, keep in mind guys that the terms "right" and "left" are relative.
