Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
Now THAT'S an image that won't go away soon enough!
You put that image in my head ... THUMBS DOWN!
The 6th Commandment, Robertson. That is all I have to say.
I continually crack up when I see that clip from History of the World. It haunts me that when I appear in front of St. Peter, he starts to list how I sinned against 11-15.
"Oh no, but St. Peter, Moses dropped them!" St. Peter than tells me that ignorance of the law is not a defense.
I'm gonna burn.
*On a side note, I think it was about time that a president included sexual orientation in the hate crimes statute.
We Christians need to have the freedom to hate any group we want. And we need to have the right to bash the heads of anyone who doesn't fit our narrow-minded view of morality. It worked for the inquisition. It still works today.
Give us more of that "old time religion."
He could be the Joseph Smithh of the new millenium.!
The three dollar bill?

Doesn't Patty's type always preach - love the sinner, hate the sin?
Patty: It's a HATE CRIMES LAW, not a HATE SIN LAW, you twit!
And thus Patty reveals his real agenda -- hate the sinner.
(You really should learn how to google stuff, so you can learn things on your own.)

The hate crimes legislation would give the federal government authority to prosecute violent crimes of antigay bias when local authorities failed to act. It would also allocate $5 million a year to the Justice Department to provide assistance to local communities in investigating hate crimes, a process that can sometimes strain police resources. And it would allow the department to assist in the inquiry and local prosecution if requested.
Democrats, however, noted that the bill would specifically bar prosecution based on an individual’s expression of “racial, religious, political or other beliefs.” It also states that nothing in the measure should be “construed to diminish any rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution.”
Two of Pat's gay-bashing buddies - are down in hell right now, saving a place for Pat and another for James Dobson.
If Jesus was real and came back today, he would spit on pussies like Robertson.
Jesus DIDN'T hold rich and powerful people in very high regard. While he loved them, he told them that their earthly riches meant nothing. There are numerous references in the Bible to Christ's disdain for earthly riches. The only time he showed anger was when he walked into the Temple and saw the moneychangers and merchants defiling the Temple with their greed.
And yet Hannity says nothing.
Just sayin.
The problem with a fundamentalist like Patty - he claims he "knows" he's right. And that ain't faith. That's delusion.
And that delusion is what causes a lot of our problems, like bashing gays, or putting others down because they don't believe like they do.
We don't seem to have a problem thinking the Taliban delusional. Why is Patty and his kind any different?
If it's faith, we don't really know - we can only believe.
If we don't know, we can be wrong.
If we can be wrong, then bashing someone for believing something different can be wrong.
Just sayin.
Let's get back to the good old days when Romans were free to persecute Christians - just like God intended.
