Televangelist Pat Robertson gushed over Rep. Michele Bachmann’s rise in the Republican party in an interview with Bachmann on Robertson’s 700 Club on Thursday. The appearance comes a week after another religious right leader, Phyllis Schlafly, gave Bachmann accolades in a letter of support.
“This is the most radical president America ever elected and the most radical Speaker of the House ever elected and then there’s Harry Reid in the Senate,” she told Robertson. “So we have the most radical administration on Capitol Hill and they are hell-bent to impose their radical agenda.”
Robertson told Bachmann that she was “a wonderful champion of the things that we believe. I’m so proud of you.” Bachmann said that she and others “who love the Lord and believe as I do” are working to stop the Democrats.

“Bachmann said that she and others “who love the Lord and believe as I do” are working to stop the Democrats.”
Representative Bachmann, this is G-d speaking to you. You’re getting it wrong! Support what the Democrats are trying to do, don’t obstruct it! And, next time Pat Robertson invites you on his show, pass on it. I defrocked him long ago, but he never checks his communications for signs from Me anymore – thinks he has My story down cold already.

Pat Robertson: A man who published an audio tape series articulating his belief that clouds of demons hover above cities, causing their moral degeneration. He’s written about the desirability of a morality police and the cleansing power of a nuclear Armageddon. He used to (still does?) do on-air séances with his god during which he received secret information about physical ailments afflicting his viewers, and then proceeded to do faith healings through the television.
In other words Robertson and Bachmann are sitting in the same fundamentalist theater of the absurd, projecting onto the silver screen in front of them their own creepy totalitarian Christian fantasies.
Tin covered Bibles are balanced on their heads, protecting them from the demons of liberalism as they watch Abraham ascending the mountain. He plants an American flag atop the peak as a bald eagle, carrying a clutch of tea bags in its talons, lands on his shoulder and speaks with the voice of the deity (sounding identical to Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now): “Do the liberals say why they want to terminate my command? Go, reclaim America for Christ. Cut taxes, build the military, and stop Lady Gaga before she delivers our youth into the hands of the homosexuals, who must recruit in order to restock the armies of the left.”

That’s scary, “who love the Lord and believe as I do”! Does that mean she and her Christian “revealed” religion cohorts are going to push for laws that allow parents to have their disobedient children stoned to death (Deut. 21:18-19) or laws that call for the death penalty for people who work on the Sabbath (and which Sabbath will they recognize?)(Numbers 15:32-56)ad nauseam?
Also, just watched Pat Robertson’s son healing people over the phone on the 700 Club. How can people believe in faith-healing when Pat had 10 hours of heart surgery not long ago??? Sincere religious people need to be taught that their God-given reason is much more important and valuable than what ancient men wrote in ancient books! And that by putting the man-made writings before their God-given reason they are putting men before God. This should awaken many of them who will then leave Christianity and the “revealed” religions behind and evolve into Deists.
Progress! Bob Johnson

Pat Robertson live like a King and steals from the old and the poor. Like we care what he has to say.

God is not a republican (or a democrat), and Bachman’s comment implying that those that “love the lord” are those who side with her is particularly frustrating to those of us for whom faith informs a radically different view. The Bible is full of examples of Jesus instructing his followers to help the poor and heal the sick, and its beyond me how Bachman can so glibly characterize the Obama administration’s attempt to provide health insurance for 20 or 30 million people as a socialist takeover which Christians must resist!
I’m a small business owner, believe in the benefits of free markets, want health care insurance costs to go down, and don’t want to pay more taxes. But, I also believe that access to quality healthcare should be a right rather than a priveledge in a civilized and wealthy society like ours and that this is a moral issue. It may cost some more to insure every one, but in this Christian’s mind, its unquestionably the right thing to do.

The only way to get rid of the dragon lady is to let the independents take on this scourge. The DFL is never never ever going to win in this gerrymandered district. If you want good government and an end to the religious nuts lets have the democrats vote for an independent.

You know what? Pat Robertson scares me. But nothing scares me more than Obama, ACORN, ClimateGate (it’s not about the emails, stupid! The fraud is in the CODE!), George Soros, and Nancy Pelosi.
If Obama & Pelosi are allowed to continue their destruction of this country, I think I’ll need some of whatever Eric is smoking!
lol

We are not against helping the poor and the sick and other christian principles. We just think that Government sucks at doing it. Its not about providing Health Care its about Government taking control of your life.
