Famous (Stupid) Pat Robertson Quotes
« on: February 18, 2010, 04:50:20 pm »




"Lord, give us righteous judges who will not try to legislate and dominate this society. Take control, Lord! We ask for additional vacancies on the court." –Pat Robertson








"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history." –Pat Robertson








"I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you, This is not a message of hate -- this is a message of redemption. But a condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs; it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes, and possibly a meteor." –Pat Robertson, on "gay days" at Disneyworld








"(T)he feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." –Pat Robertson








"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." –Pat Robertson








"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected him from your city. And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there." --Pat Robertson, after the city of Dover, Pennsylvania voted to boot the current school board, which instituted an intelligent design policy that led to a federal trial.








"God considers this land to be his. You read the Bible and he says 'This is my land,' and for any prime minister of Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, 'No, this is mine.' ... He was dividing God's land. And I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations, or the United States of America.' God says, 'This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.'" --Pat Robertson, on why Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke








"Maybe we need a very small nuke thrown off on Foggy Bottom to shake things up" –Pat Robertson, on nuking the State Department








"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with." –Pat Robertson, calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez








"It may be a blessing in disguise. ... Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. Haitians were originally under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal. Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other." –Pat Robertson, on the earthquake in Haiti that destroyed the capital and killed tens of thousands of people, Jan. 13, 2010








"Over 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings." –Pat Robertson, on the dangers of judicial activism








"That was never in the Constitution, however much the liberals laugh at me for saying it, they know good and well it was never in the Constitution! Such language only appeared in the constitution of the Communist Soviet Union." –Pat Robertson, on the constitutional separation of church and state








"Well, I totally concur." - Pat Robertson to Jerry Falwell following the Sept. 11 attacks, after Falwell said, "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say: "You helped this happen."








"Wait a minute, I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out,' and 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping." –Pat Robertson, clarifying his call to assassinate Hugo Chavez








"Is it right to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for that statement. I spoke in frustration that we should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is out to kill him." –Pat Robertson

   Pat Robertson, is a total megalomaniac.  He is as bad in his prejudices and
retoric, as Hitler was in the Third Reich.  He makes mean and unsubstantiated
statements.  He then apologizes for them when he receives so many unpopular
remarks in their regards.  Saying he didnt mean it like that.  He is mad as a
hatter.
    As Amanda remarked, its just too bad that he has so many followers that are led by his harmful and bad spirited, remarks.  He is going to get people hurt, or even killed, because of his *stupid*, and completely unfounded statements.

   God save us from those who believe that they are speaking *for God*

Thanks for posting this, David.  Although I'm not surprised...I think after his remarks about Haiti, I'm just numb to this nonsense...it's good to have them collected in one place.  Read, reject for stupidity, and move on.

I do find it alarming that so many people follow him and seem to buy into his brand of "Christianity".  But he's not the only one - just the one that gets the most press, especially since Falwell passed on.  They are all demagogues who don't deserve our time.

I think it's better to talk to people one-on-one and understand what they're about and why they think the things they do...then you can present your own, possibly alternative views, in a respectful way and try to reach agreement.

Mostly off-topic, but I had a great conversation with a young man last night who is of middle Eastern descent, raised by a father who was a Black Muslim during the Malcom X era, and is now an atheist.  He is one of six children - a couple are Roman Catholic, a couple Muslim, and the other atheist like him.  I loved the things I learned from him.  First - I didn't know that Black Muslims were accepting of people who were not of African American descent, especially back during the Civil Rights Era.  His father went on a hadj (pilgrimage to Mecca?) - he does so every year - and decided that the Black Muslim movement was too radical and violent.  So now he's a peace-loving Muslim living in Boston and working in city government.  I'm wondering if I can get him to come speak to my Quaker Meeting eventually.
