Pat Robertson...Idiot

So this morning it's reported that Pat Robertson thinks we should assasinate the President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez. Apparently Chavez has made a lot of political hay in his nation by accusing the US of trying to assasinate hi. Robertson's answer, oblige him. Here's what rubs me the wrong way. Who the hell is Pat Robertson? How many times is this guy going to speak on behalf of the United States as if anyone would listen to his advice?

This is the guy who want's to kill/nuke anything that doesn't fit into his Christian/White-only world. He wanted the State Department nuked in 2003. He wanted Liberal Supreme Court Justices to drop dead in 2004. He believes "activist judges" (i.e. liberal judges) are more dangerous to the USA than Al Queda. Finally, let's not forget that this man thinks we are at war with Islam, not terrorism. He wants us to target Muslims instead of just terrorists.

In this case, he accused Chavez of being a Communist AND a Muslim supporter (OK, the Communist thing is probably true). Now I don't want to get too far into Chavez's politics. He is completely insane, and that's enough. Encouraging his paranoia when he sits on a huge oil reserve is probably a bad idea, especially if we ever get threatened by OPEC. Why is an American preacher, with no political power, speaking for you, me, and this nation? How does he even presume to have a clue what is best for us?

I have noticed this trend that Christian Conservatives and NeoCons have this arrogant blind-eye. They believe their opinion is superior to everyone else's and refuse to see any other option or even accept that their adversary might be as smart as them. They have lost the ability to say "I was wrong" or "Those (insert demeaning liberal term here) have it right on this issue.".

Anyway, I know he won't listen, but you can at least send an email to his lackeys here.
