OM-Ever Lovin'-G: Pat Robertson says RepubliKKKans too extreme

Wait, did lots of psychic experiments in 70's so did I read that aright?

Pat Robertson, he of God punished Florida with hurricanes because Orlando allowed flags on light poles for Gay Days, thinks the rabid RepubliKKKan base gone too far to the dark side of American politics.

Really.

Wait before allowing my brain to explode, found this at Raw Story so better cross check in case someone at Raw also has psychedelic flashbacks.

Great Jumping Jehosaphat's Ghost, Business Insider reports this also.

Others agree with me the current stable of RepubliKKKan presidential candidates have become certainly politically and quite possibly clinically insane.  Nevertheless, never ever did anyone dream Pat would agree with that.

[Pat Robertson provided a statement Monday afternoon that some may consider a “pot meets kettle” moment.

On the latest installment of The 700 Club, the televangelist the televangelist admitted that even he believes many in the Republican Party have shifted too far to the right.

“I believe it was Lyndon Johnson that said, ‘Don’t these people realize if they push me over to an extreme position I’ll lose the election?’” Robertson said. “Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this stuff. They’re forcing their leaders, the frontrunners, into positions that will mean they lose the general election.”


He added: “You appeal to the narrow base and they’ll applaud the daylights out of what you’re saying and then you hit the general election and they say ‘no way’ and then the Democrat, whoever it is, is going to just play these statements to the hilt. They’ve got to stop this! It’s just so counterproductive!”

It is telling that Robertson, a man renowned for his myriad of controversial comments, believes that the party he supports needs to scale back on its fervor. These comments are significant because Robertson was a co-founder of the Christian Coalition, which became the most powerful faction of the Republican Party in the 80s and 90s.]

[We have officially entered into Bizarro world.
Pat Robertson, host of 'The 700 Club' and the man who once agreed with Jerry Falwell that 9/11 was "the fault of the abortionists, the feminists, and the gays, and the lesbians," and that Katrina was God's punishment for America's abortion policy, thinks the GOP base has become too extreme.
Here's what Robertson had to say on 'The 700 Club' following a discussion about Herman Cain's ever-changing abortion views:

"I believe it was Lyndon Johnson that said, ‘Don’t these people realize if they push me over to an extreme position I’ll lose the election? And I’m the one who will be supporting what they want but they’re going to make it so I can’t win.’ Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this stuff. They’re forcing their leaders, the frontrunners, into positions that will mean they lose the general election. Now whether this did it to Cain I don’t know, but nevertheless, you appeal to the narrow base and they’ll applaud the daylights out of what you’re saying and then you hit the general election and they say ‘no way’ and then the Democrat, whoever it is, is going to just play these statements to the hilt. They’ve got to stop this! It’s just so counterproductive!"

Indeed

It is amazing to watch the GOP standard-bearers contend with the Frankenstein the have courted over the last few election cycles with their focus on social conservatism as the core of their party.]

RepubliKKKans vs. Jesus

Lord, how can these--wait, self edit, try to dream and think and write positively--RepubliKKKan people cut programs that then lead to people, children, elderly, unfortunate brothers and sisters, dying from government budget cuts?

"Thank you for self editing, Daniel," He replied dryly.

Have tried to change my thinking and not judge, You know, Your whole judge not thing..

"I remember.  Of course, you yourself always channel your inner Gandhi."

Sarcasm, Lord. from You?

"C'mon, you remember reading Satyagraha in South Africa where Gandhi wrote to always consider any person on the opposite side of an issue as acting in what they perceive as the good of humanity."

Sure, but...

"Before you judge them, ask yourself if have ever acted in your pure selfishness, stupidity, chosen ignorance, or even baser motives?"

But I believe them, at the very best, self deluded fools if not outright hypocrites.

"You've never acted or spoken hypocritically?"  He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sure, but...

"No buts about it, son; if you judge others then I must judge you."

OK, can I still call Rick Scott governor 48.9%?

"Well, the official tally worked out to that.  Just use your sarcasm judiciously."

But that amounts to perhaps the greatest gift Y'all have given me.

"Maybe you have more gifts to discover within yourself, Dan."

"Really, just keep on with patience and peace and truth and reason for they remain all we progressives will ever have."

We?  Thank You,  Lord.

RepubliKKKans Killing Medicare: FL-08

RepubliKKKan Medicare cuts by Congressional district.

FL-08: http://docs.house.gov/energycommerce/medicare_2011/Orlando.pdf

"[T]he highest executive in our state suffers from the delusion that God dictates his every move."

Written about Wisconsin Governator Scott Walker but fear it true of Governor 48.9% in Florida.  Guess Governor Gollum could not find anything about trains in his bible, probably the original King Jjames because everyone knows later versions communist influenced by the Devil.

The following explains why RepubliKKKans scare me; they truly believe they follow God's commands but follow who they conceive of as that angry old white bearded dude in the sky, not Jesus who preached love even of the lowliest in society: the poor, the widows, the illegal aliens, those who hunger, and dare I say even union workers.

[Scott Walker Believes He’s Following Orders from the Lord

By Matthew Rothschild, March 7, 2011

The dogmatic unwillingness of Wis. Gov. Scott Walker to negotiate or to compromise with Democrats or unions has surprised many people in the state. One explanation for his attitude may be found in his religious convictions.

In a talk to the Christian Businessmen’s Committee in Madison on November 13, 2009, Walker, who was raised by a Baptist preacher, spoke about his personal relationship with God, his “walk to Christ,” and his belief in the need to “trust and obey” the Lord.

He told the group that when he was thirteen, he committed himself to Jesus. “I said, ‘Lord, I’m ready . . . not just in front of my Church and the world but most importantly at the foot of your Throne, I’m ready to follow you each and every day. . . . I have just full out there said, ‘I’m going to trust in you Christ to tell me where to go. And to the best of my ability I’m going to obey where you lead me,’ and that has made all the difference in the world to me, for good times and bad.”

Walker said that God has told him what to do every step of the way, including about what jobs to take, whom to marry, and when to run for governor...

.Walker’s views disturb Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
“It is frightening that the highest executive in our state suffers from the delusion that God dictates his every move,” she says. “Consider the personal and historic devastation inflicted by fanatics who think they are acting in the name of their deity.”] emphasis added
