Conservative
His views on marijuana lit up the Internet on Thursday because they seemingly aligned him with liberal groups that have long complained of the punitive nature of the nation's drug laws. The comments have been seized on by pro-marijuana groups that cite them as evidence that their message is gaining traction not only in the mainstream but within the religious right.

No ****, Sherlock. All I can say at this time is that, after his tirades over the years, even against common decency, my jaw dropped to the floor when I read this story. So here we have ********, a paragon of the religious community, ********, someone who is listened to and watched by millions of Christian Conservatives, and ********, a man who doesn't back down an inch on what he believes in, firing a salvo across the bow of the War on Drugs. And let me just say this, folks - If the almighty ******** is now attacking the War on Drugs, then that ship is sinking, and it is only a matter of time until all that is left of it is so much flotsam. As much as I can't stand ********, I must say Kudos to him. He finally called one right, for the first time in his bigoted, miserable life. Thank you, ********.








******** = Pat Robertson. Who in God's green Earth would have ever thunk it? Now hear this - If legalization of weed is good enough for Pat Robertson, it's good enough for the rest of us. After all, how can we dispute the Word of God? Especially when it now appears that Robertson had a reason for saying that the 911 victims were killed because God hated them. And I betcha dollars to donuts that Robertson has been smoking a lot of the stuff he has condemned in the past. It's the only thing in the whole wide world that could make him as ****ing weird as he is..... Well, maybe it was all the acid trips he has been taking behind our backs too. :mrgreen:

Article is here.

NOTE TO MODS: I realize that one of the rules for posting in breaking news is to post the headline exactly the way it appears, but I honestly couldn't help this. If you see and understand what I did here, then please give me a break, and no infraction points..... However, if you feel you must give the points, then pass me a tissue, and let me weep alone. Honestly, this is so hilarious that I just could not help posting it this way. I take responsibility, but I beg for mercy, or at least a MODicum of mercy, only for a long enough period of time for me to stop laughing over this story. :mrgreen:

Are you really sure you want to go public with the news that you two are in agreement.?

It isn't too late to have this thread deleted.
 
I disagree with Pat Robertson on this, and I'm an evangelical Christian. However, I don't really respect Robertson's positions nor is he a person of influence in my life. I'm still for keeping marijuana illegal.

I bet I can find quotes from his past endorsing the criminalization of pot.

I'll be the one to state the obvious. Pat Robertson is NOT God.
 
Well, at least we know now what most likely was the responsible agent for causing Robertson to boast he could bench press 2,000 pounds.

Actually he claimed he could leg press 2000 lbs not bench press
 
Crosscheck said:
correction, noted. That makes the claim all that more plausible when you view Pat's physique.

Still not plausible for Pat Nutball Robertson to do it

But in the realm of reality for some people to be able to do.


No one has bench pressed 2000 lbs. Some rather large and muscular people have leg pressed 2000 lbs. Ronnie Coleman for one

Pat is not built like them, and might be lucky to have leg pressex 800 lbs
