SO what's the deal with Pat? I mean can a Christian leader call for the assassination of a political figure? Who does he think he is Pope Pius II... (Not sure if he ever assassinated people or called for the assassination of people...frankly I'm not sure if he even was a pope). But seriously since when do Christian leaders call for people to be assassinated?? I never heard pastor bob calling for people to be assassinated... though I did skip evening service a lot and I heard he really got kind of out there in the PM.
I'm sorry but frankly I don't think it's a great idea to go around killing political leaders... that's just not the way I role. I can understand a good Coup and appreciate it as much as the next political revolutionary but I'm a fan of the home grown coup de tat's not the U.S. ordained ones (or in this case Pat Robertson ordained). I mean what if someone had intervened on the colonists' behalf and overthrown King George for us... what would the U.S. look like? There's some definite flawed Holton logic in my argument and analogies so I won't push them too much. That and I'm not sure where I stand on the whole revolution by the people vs. revolution by someone else for the people thing. In one way the people need to lead it otherwise it won't work well, but on the other hand if the people are so oppressed they can't fight/defend for themselves then they'll need some outside help. In history there are examples of when outside forces hurt revolutions and where they were necessary. The Holocaust/WW2 is a good example where outside help was definitely needed to over throw Hitler and his thugs.
And I must plead a whole lot of ignorance to the Venezuela thing since I don't know much about this guy down there let alone much abo
