Pat Robertson, Demon Hunter
Quote
Televangelist Pat Robertson recently made headlines for suggesting that homosexuality may be driven by "demonic possession." In recent years, Robertson has labeled a wide (and frequently bizarre) range of things as demonic, including: feng shui, yoga, karate, horoscopes, Twilight, paintings of Buddha, television shows about ghosts, Halloween, psychics, young girls levitating their friends at sleepovers, and (sometimes) adopted children from other countries.

He nailed Twilight on the head, but the rest is way off.

A petition that just went up a few minutes ago. The White House responded to the last anti-PATRIOT-Act petitions without actually saying much, so another one has formed. (The plan being to keep a constant presence. If they have to keep writing responses, they might one day think of an alternative.)

Yea. The response to he last anti-patriot act petition was some bullshit about how awesome the patriot act is.
The response to all the White House petitions is some bullshit about how everything is awesome as is. Not even good rebuttals either; I seriously question the competency of the staffer they have writing these dismissive responses.

I'm getting sick of these people saying everything bad imaginable about being gay, but if you ever say anything bad about them, it's "disrespecting their religion."

Bigotry wrapped in religion is still bigotry.

I'm pretty sure by this point that Pat Robertson is starting to undergo mental degradation. His ranting has gotten even more crazy in the last few months, and I didn't even think that was possible.

Much as I think the idea of sparkly vampires is beyond the 27 allowable types of bullshit, I agree with you. Granted, vampires have never reacted well to anything religious, what with the crosses, holy water, and their notably fatal reaction to Gregorian Monk Chanting (or is that just everyone).... Regardless, the idea of teen and 20 somethings all pissed off at him for not liking vampires and werewolves is just too damn ironic to pass up.

Well yeah, "clearly" adopting children from other countries is demonic. They're supposed to stay miserable in those "other countries" so people like Mr. Robinson can hit you up for donations to "help them." Adopting them and bringing them here cuts out the middle man: him. Thus... demonic :).

Any bodily movement is also clearly demonic, which naturally includes yoga, karate and most certainly levitation ('cept when it's Jesus over water, natch...). :P

Pat Robertson everybody. Giving you your daily dose of batshit crazy....

I think I encountered a crazy conservative today. Dude was driving a horrifically painted and remodeled jeep, but that wasn't the crazy part. It was the bumper stickers saying things like "Guns kill people like spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat" (I'm not quite sure what that one means) and "Imagine a world without liberals".

This depresses me, because for the most part my town is moderate-leaning-towards-progressive. I only knew of one guy in high school who spoke out against the Gay-Straight Alliance and the Day of Silence out of a few thousand students.

I'unno, it's pretty rare to see a monarchist in the states nowadays, especially one that hates the constitution and (by extension) America. Though I guess the sort of liberalism they like is okay... or something.

I don't think he was a monarchist. Just some dude who was probably taught that liberal=bad for most of his life.

"Guns kill people like spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat"
Well then by that logic we should keep guns and outlaw bullets.

I, personally, don't have a problem with conservatives. I have some conservative friends and we get along just fine, maybe don't necessarily see eye-to-eye on everything but I could say the same about my ultra-liberal friends as well. That guy, though, that guy sounds like a dick. Anyone with the bumper sticker "Imagine a world without liberals" is just encouraging the destructive, vitriolic, and divisive political climate that is already so disgraceful to the US.

I like to imagine a world without jerks.
