like rai-ai-ain

Always one step closer to God, always acting as a soldier at the ready to fight the religious wars, never one to decline a good bigoted remark, and of course the man who Jesus turns to to interpret the Good Book, the Disciple Pat Robertson, who for your personal check, credit or debit card will translate God’s wishes is once again ranting about the homosexuals. "You don't turn the light out just because you disagree with somebody," Robertson advised a listener on the "700 Club" television program… Specifying that a heterosexual Christian "can't indulge," he added, "There are some very, very creative homosexual people. They're in the fashion industry, they're in design, they're in various types of creative arts.” "You would almost need to leave the world not to associate with folks like that.”(Huff Post)
And as matter of fact, as smarmy and derogatory as is his lacking any fact just relying on homophobia tinged with some good old Christian cross burning the Disciple Pat Robertson has pigeonholed, slighted, demeaned and purposely told the fools of his flock that the Gays are only the creatives. It’s kind of like looking in the By-Laws of the KKK finding that its the Jews who are bankers and owners of television stations. Or reading the rantings of the Tea Party declaring that Mexicans have cantaloupe sized calves and only get pregnant so they can stay in the US. Its like listening to the T-publicans in the Congress insisting that the long term unemployed are lazy the seniors selfish and women the once removed rib from Adam. Its like Alanis Morissette said  rai-ai-n on your wedding day, none of it makes sense.

There is great danger when people (who know no more then their own fear and phobias) try to persuade other lemmings with (the zest to hate and bully) to find fact based on fiction. There is greater danger when God/his New or Old Testament/Koran/etc are added to the fake reasoning to cast aspersions. Many can chuckle when the Disciple Pat Robertson sounds more like a character on Loony Tunes, then a man of God, but there is nothing funny considering just how many pay for pray fundamentalists believe Robertson’s every word has been whispered to him by Jesus Christ.
