An Open Letter to Pat Robertson
Mr. Robertson:

If you know your scripture well, (as I trust you do) then you know that shortly before Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, he issued a set of teachings or instructions to his apostles. In part, he told them "Ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Sammaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth." (Acts 1:8)

His words were a call-to-action, if you will, that the apostles would go forth and serve as witnesses for Christ.

Mr. Robertson, if you truly believe that you have been called to ministry, then you essentially have the same obligation that the apostles did then: to be a witness for Christ.

It's hard to imagine you as an effective witness for Christ, when you use the 700 Club to call for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying:
"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."

What happened to the commandment "thou shalt not kill?"

Chavez was first elected in 1988 and won a referendum on his rule last year. Polls show he would be re-elected in 2006. Venezuela is the world's fifth largest oil exporting country and a major supplier to the United States.

In his broadcast, Robertson said: "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 ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop."

5. Who hasn't Robertson prayed to be dead?
So far, God has ignored him. Hmmmmm....guess Robertson should be careful what he prays for.

Brother Dodson suggests displaying adult sexual organs, to children and Rush rips into a grieving mother behind her back and then lies about it. The stinky glue that binds the Radical Right, is melting away like bush's drooping poll numbers. The mask is starting to be ripped off of the Rabidly Radical Right and the GOP lambs are really starting to see, the wolves in sheep's clothing, for what they really have been all along.

PRAISE THE LORD and pass the ammunition is the norm, amongst the fearful, floundering, flock, of flip flopping, faith based, freeper foolish.

For it is written...You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Honest Abe, is the only Republican that I ever believed.

Lincoln was another case, of Oswald that ends well! Some at the time, suspected that Edwin M. Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary of War throughout the civil war, was involved in the plot to murder president Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln made some strong statements about the stealing from the government, by wealthy war profiteers and bankers. History repeats?

13th commandment: Thou shalt not kill, unless there is a good profit in it!

Pat's Swan Song

Oh blinding lights;
Oh lights that blind;
Watch out for me;
I cannot see!

Chorus

Oh blinding lights;
Oh lights that blind;
Watch out for me;
I cannot see!

Oh blinding lights;
Oh lights that blind;
Watch out for me;
I cannot see!

Chorus

Oh blinding lights;
Oh lights that blind;
Watch out for me;
I cannot see!

Oh blinding lights;
Oh lights that blind;
Watch out for me;
I cannot see!

Chorus

Oh blinding lights;
Oh lights that blind;
Watch out for me;
I cannot see!
