Pat Roberston's insane ramblings

If there was ever a question of the mental state of ol PR, I believe he has fallen over the edge with his latest rant..
A school board in Dover Pennsylvania had put in place the teaching of intelligent design as curriculum in their school district.
Hard working.. god fearing good american citizens voted EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS OUT ON THEIR KEESTER! In elections earlier in the week.
Intellignet design is faith based.. It's not proven fact, it's not science.. it is merely the faith that a higher power created us all.. I'm not saying that it's right or wrong, however.. forcing schools to teach this as some sort of fact is way crossing over the seperation of church and state boundary.
in fact one school had a part of the class where students had to get up and give a speech about why Intelligent design was the way things happened.
So, we have a "christian" based school board, forcing this on schools.. parents and people in general are apparently outraged enough to vote them all out of office.
So, cue ole pat..
He actually said on a broadcast of his show. "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,"

those people didn't reject God from their city.. they rejected overzealous christians from forcing their school district to teach a faith based idea.

Later Thursday, Robertson issued a statement saying he was simply trying to point out that "our spiritual actions have consequences."

"God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in his eye forever," Robertson said. "If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them."


it's the old pat pattern.. say something really insane and then issue a press release saying.. "well what I really meant was"...
When is the FCC going to stop this man from using the airwaves this way..
When are people going to stop listening to him?
He's turned the bend folks.. someone needs to keep him off the streets.. After last year's comments about assasinating hugo Chavez and various other comments he has made.. it's fairly obvious he's lost it.
