Religious Right Jumps the Shark
Pat Robertson on This Week with George Stephanopolous (KC Star):
Acknowledging several passages from his new book - where he charged that liberals were engaging in "an all-out assault on Christianity," and that Democrats wanted to appoint judges who would "dismantle our Christian culture" - Robertson told ABC that the federal judiciary, as currently constituted, represents the biggest threat to America in its history. He warned: "They're destroying the fabric that holds our nation together."I think it's interesting that Robertson doesn't even bother refering to our Judeo-Christian culture.
His interviewer, George Stephanopolous, asked whether Robertson was saying that the threat posed by federal judges was more dire than the Civil War, World War II, and the terrorists who struck on Sept. 11. Robertson replied: "I really believe that. ... I think that the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings."
Mr. Robertson, if you happen to read this, please nota bene (I'll type slowly for your benefit): You're a member of a fringe organization. By fringe we don't mean elite, or in some way exceptional. We mean... well, borderline insane.
