what would pat do?

God may love you, but everyone else thinks your ignorant.

If ya'll haven't heard the latest from televangelist Pat Robertson, he has asked for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Old Man Pat, you say the darndest things sometimes. But on the reals, while, Bush is probably trying to distance himself from Pat, I'm pretty sure the idea of assassinating hugo chavez is in his mindset. Robertson is an idiot for even bringing up the issue of venezuela's oil. Fool could have just played the whole communist card without people thinking anything of it, but acknowledging that the oil resources were of great concern for america shows people the real reasons why Venezuela's so important for America.

This isn't the first time Robertson has attempted to influence global politics in Latin America. In the 1980's, Robertson lent support to the Contras, the Nicaraguan right wing guerilla army, as well as praising Rios Montt, who was known for repressing the growing Catholic liberation theology movement in Guatemala during the 1980's as well as leading a brutal military dictatorship.

But today, Mr. Robertson retracted his statement saying that he was misinterpreted, saying, "I said our special forces could take him out. Take him out could be a number of things including kidnapping." So according to Pat, America should remain patrolling the rest of the world, acting as the supreme police force dictating how everyone else should act. So why not kidnap a popularly elected president? It would greatly stabilize America's oil supply and be the wise thing to do if we want to maintain our hegemonic stronghold on the geopolitical scene of Latin America. And while we're at it, why not through in a hint of "God is on our side" to justify what we're doing. Wait a minute, isn't this the type of reasoning that the radical Islamists have that has lead America to wage this "war on terror," I mean "war on ideology"?
