Religious right icons Jerry Falwell and James Kennedy have gone to that big carnival tent in the sky, where they reminisce about their favorite cons with the likes of P. T. Barnum.
Thank God Pat Robertson is still around; what would pundits, comics and columnists do without him?
Pat Robertson, Richard Roberts and other evangelical leaders have a penchant for doing and saying things that elicit ridicule and condemnation. These buffoons have a thin skin, and squeal like pigs when they are satirized and mocked.
Case in point consider this story from PilotOnline.Com:
“Regent University officials have threatened to discipline a law student for posting on his Facebook page an unflattering photo of Regent President Pat Robertson.
The student, Adam M. Key, defended his action as constitutionally protected free speech in a 14-page legal brief he presented to the dean of the law school.
The picture, posted on Key’s Facebook social-networking Web page, shows Robertson making what appears to be an obscene hand gesture.”
Pat Robertson has many critics outside of the evangelical realm; it’s unusual and heartwarming to see him lambasted by a student from his own university.
I have some advice for Pat Robertson: If you get your panties in a twist when you are ridiculed — stop making crazy statements like the one you recently made stating that America will incur God’s wrath if we force Israel into ceding control of East Jerusalem to the Palestinians.
Mr. Key is a law student who understands and cherishes free speech, and he will not back down under pressure from a religious tyrant. Even though he is facing expulsion he still uttered this brave words:
“A lot of people at Regent are afraid to speak out,” he said. “They’re fearful of criticizing Pat. They know that if they did, they’d be gone. “At the point in time where we become afraid, we start losing the things that make us Americans.” — Quote from PilotOnline.Com
Amen Mr. Key, Amen!
