Doonesbury Say What?

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and the people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French...and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said 'We will serve you, if you will get us free from the French.' True story. And so the devil said, 'Okay, it's a deal.' And they kicked the French out -- the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other...They need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to God. And out of this tragedy I'm optimistic something good may come..."
-- Pat Robertson

I think my icon says it all.

After 9/11, Mr. Robertson was the one who said "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say "You helped this happen."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about Pat Robertson: http://blogcritics.org/scitech/article/pat-robertsons-other-not-so-famous/ & http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson . Laughing is probably healthier.

Because there is no natural disaster that someone will not exploit or interpret to be God's wrath against a people. Also, what's up with the racism, Pat? Can't brown-skinned people just want to be free from oppressive ovrelords?
