More in Robertson interview: "The blessing of heaven on the emperor"

[crispini]

Not like we haven't heard this before, but this is REALLY AWFUL. I mean, a Chinese emperor WAS CONSIDERED DIVINE.

"I just said, I think God's blessing him, and I think it's one of those things that, even if he stumbles and messes up -- and he's had his share of goofs and gaffes -- I just think God's blessing is on him. And you remember, I think the Chinese used to say, you know, it's the blessing of heaven on the emperor. And I think the blessing of heaven is on Bush. It's just the way it is."

1. Wow...this is freaking scary.

Robertson is just completely losing it.

2. Bush said he was chosen by God. Bush is trying to

restore the Divine Right of Kings, and undo the American Revolution.

3. Robertsom is such an idiot!

Remember how feminists were supposed to be trying to convert all women to lesbianism and witchery or some such shit he said back when Poppy Bush was in the WH?

what a friggin' freak! :eyes:

4. That just makes me want to barf

I do not believe God is blessing the phony naked emperor.And BTW Pat, I think you are just as delusional as the chimp.

5. So is he equating bush* with an emporer? Is he saying God's given

bush* his blessing to 'rule' like an emperor? Because ruling and governing are not the same thing. And this nation is this nation because we dumped one king, I don't think that we should annoint, or allow anyone else annoint, another one.

See, that's the problem with these people. They are way to limited intellectually grasp two (maybe three) concepts at a time. God, bush*, and empire do not go hand in hand with the Consitution.

Or maybe I'm just missing the big picture here. Maybe the real story is that they don't want to grasp or accept the concept that is democracy.

6. blessing on goofs and gaffes and all - misrepresentations, lies, dirty

tricks...is that all part of God's plan for the 'Merican emperor?

7. This royalist prick should move to a country where there are kings

to worship

[snippy]

8. How very republican. Every outwardly normal and apparently decent

person who votes republican in any election, local, state, or federal, empowers Pat Robertson and all the other Reich wing fundamentalists who control the republican party every time they vote.
