Send Pat Robertson to Guantanamo

Pat Robertson's bff, God, has told him that our country will be beseiged by a "mass killing" in September of this year.

In the meantime, Robertson's terrestrial cohorts at the American Family Association are hard at work boycotting the Ford corporation for "its support of the homosexual agenda." And it would seem that the hate and fear mongering are making strides in Massachusetts, where gay marriage now stands to be revoked by the state's legislators.

Not that Pat is saying that the September 07 blood bath is divine retribution for our country's wanton homosexual ways -- YET -- but the Christian right's fervor in the midst of a Democrat upset in Washington is reaching a fever pitch. So here come the warnings, the protests, the talking heads on the Fox News Channel, and bla bla bla.

I'm all for the sanctity of life, marriage and the family. But here's what I want to know: Doesn't war break up families? When you send young men and women to fight overseas aren't you hurting a mother and father somewhere? Doesn't war kill?

So why aren't the talking heads even lamenting the death toll in Iraq? Forget about justifying the war, what about lamenting the fact that human beings are dying on a daily basis. And for what? Do we even remember why we're in Iraq?

Back to the homosexual agenda.

The Ford corporation is being attacked because it buys ad space in The Advocate and Out, both gay magazines. A bunch of losers in Massachusetts are celebrating on the steps of Capitol Hill because they've denied people they don't even know the right to start their own families. Meanwhile, no one sees anything wrong with Army recruiters hitting up young people in disadvantaged communities across America.

Where am I going with this rambling post, you may ask. Well, I'm shouting out people's selective convictions.

? Abortion is murder but war is a "pre-emptive measure."

? The institution of family is sacred, but gay marriage, an attempt at the creation of family, is an "abomination."

? The free market, not big government is going to be the salvation of America, but buying ad space in a publication you'll probably never read calls for kicking an American company in the nuts, hurting its sales and ultimately threatening to put other Americans, maybe even good Christians, out of jobs.

Beware of false prophets, people. The Christian right is taking on a new form, it's playing Nostradamus, it's tetering on the dark side, and it is making some huge moves to shape our nation's course.

I propose a pre-emptive measure: let's send Pat Robertson, who could very well be making threats against this country, down to Gitmo until October of this year.
