[T]oday on The 700 Club said that God again communicated to him that financial problems and partisan politics are going to bring America into decline.
Unsurprisingly, [hard-right conservative television preacher Pat Robertson] said God is no fan of President Obama: “Your president holds a radical view of the direction of your country which is at odds with the majority, expect chaos and paralysis.” Robertson claimed that the country would be devastated by an “economic collapse” and “the country will begin disintegrating.” He also claimed that God revealed to him who the next president will be, but that he is “not supposed to talk about that.”
A few things pop out, here. First, that Pat Robertson seems to get feedback from God more often than Moses and Jesus combined, and second, Pat Robertson's version of God continues to be a bit of a jerk. You could call this a "burning bush" moment for Robertson—but when God spoke to Moses, one of his primary directions was "hey, and write this shit down." He didn't phrase it as "dude, I've got this totally great inside information for you, but don't tell anyone."
I'm also impressed that, like Pat Robertson, God isn't really up on recent polling numbers. He says Obama holds "a radical view of the direction of your country which is odds at the majority." That would not appear to be true on either front; perhaps Robertson had a bad connection.
So Pat Robertson says he is in touch with an insider-trading God who thinks the Obama "radical agenda" of not defunding programs for the poor and sick based on Republican demands will doom us all. Great, just great.
Why, oh why, must conservatism be filled with such charlatans? It has become a movement dedicated towards reeling in only the most bile-filled and stupidest of chumps. To our nation's great discredit, there seems to be a lot of them.
