The holiday season is upon us, and families everywhere will gather around the table tomorrow and give thanks for one another.
But maybe thereâs someone in your family who youâd really rather just not hear speak.
In Pat Robertsonâs clan, thatâd have to be Pat Robertson.
His show The 700 Club did a story about the religious faith of the pilgrims, and warned viewers that the progression of gay rights threatens everything they worked blood, sweat and tears for.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Funny how he doesnât mention native genocide â what does Jesus think about that one, Pat?
He said:
âLadies and gentlemen, our warning should be today, we canât lose that. And when you have courts that are taking away the very essence of our democracy, the ground from which this great country came, when courts are saying that is unconstitutional, when theyâre exulting aberrant lifestyles and saying thatâs constitutional, when theyâre defying the very essence of this nation, they are sowing the seeds, not of a new, prosperous nation but the destruction of the one thatâs already here.â
Oh Pat, shut up and pass the string beans.
Hereâs the clip:

Oh go choke on a meatball you hateful donkey pit! God send the gays to teach you pilgrims a lesson for robbing the rights of the native Americans. Your ancestors rape, rob , steal and murder the natives. Thank god you believe in hell cause old coot like you will definitely burn and incinerated there!

I had hoped that this profiteering con man had died already – an evil old fossil that should’ve been fertilizer a long time ago before he victimized even more dupes. He can’t live forever. It’s amazing how many dupes are out there believing anything this hate mongering fake has to say. He’s as fake as the religion he purports to represent. Die already . . .
jsmu
@transiteer: AMEN. But only the good die young. Evil like this lives forever.

Mmmmm. Hatemongering in amurrikkka–land of the fee, home of the rave, uglier, stupider, and more sociopathic than ever before.

What I never understood about him and his anti gay marriage stance is that marriage is not a Christian institution. The concept of marriage has existed in may forms across the globe long before Christianity took root and still exists in many countries where Christianity has little exposure. Even ignoring that for a second, the whole marriage is between one man and one man doesn’t make much sense because most of the people the bible speaks highly of were in fact in a polygamy (one man multiple wives). Moreover, for thousands of years marriages amongst commoners (non royalty, wealthy merchants, nobility, or political officials) was nothing more than a contract in which a father essentially sold his (usually pre-teen to young teen) daughter to a complete (usually a fully grown adult male) stranger for chicken or other forms of commerce. Although he loves to view himself as a just Champion, he is really nothing roe than a less aggressive (anger) version of the Westburro Baptist Church that is broadcast into our homes.

He’s 84. He’ll be dead soon.

First of all, Patticakes, there wasn’t a Constitution when the Pilgrims were around, they were loyal to The Crown in 1620. Furthermore, the founding fathers realized what a mess a theocracy creates ie. the society created by The Pilgrims with their witch hunts and religious laws that they made damn sure none of that would happen while framing the Constitution. Then again, can’t hold the old coot too responsible, he is the product of the education system in the south.
MattMatta
meant to say he whole marriage is between one man and one woman* thing
MattMatta
@sectbrawn: It’s irresponsible to blame the education system of the South for this level of hatred and stupidity because even the Bible belt cannot easily produce this level of insanity in this day and age..

Get it Straight—Thanksgiving is 100% ANTI-RELIGIOUS—-The Pilgrims who came to America were all Running from the Religious regime in Europe–THE FIRST PILGRIMS AND FOUNDING FATHERS WHERE AGAINST RELIGIONS —-THANKSGIVING IS FOR ALL PEOPLE NON RELIGIOUS—SORRY PAT–THANKSGIVING IS NOT FOR YOU AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CELEBRATE IT—

@Diesel69 That is actually incorrect but common myth among both sides of the argument. Christians and Jews believed the FF where Christian, while Atheists claim they were anti-religious and mostly atheist both of which are false. The first Pilgrims were devout Protestants (Christian), but not Puritans (followed soon after along with their hubris), who were escaping Catholic persecution and the madness of their (Protestant) King.
None of the Founding Fathers (and the nations first political leaders) were known atheists, not even Benjamin Franklin. Most of the Founders were Deists, which is to say they thought the universe had a creator, but that he (in the no gender sense) does not concern himself with the daily lives of humans, and does not directly communicate with humans, either by revelation or by sacred books. The remainder was largely Unitarian (Christian). Either way none were in opposition to religion (IE the worship of or belief in a a God, supernatural force, or high power) but the organized bureaucracy that follows when power hungry individuals take charge. That was that has corrupted the Catholic church since the reinsurance and crusades centuries before, and the issue that was plaguing the Church of England (mainly because of the king) during that era. Hence the need to attempt to separate it from political affairs. That being said it was indeed not a Christian institution.
MattMatta
@Diesel69 By it I meant Thanksgiving, which has a horrendously brutal and violent background story. The “Thanks” has almost nothing to do with the dinner between the first pilgrims and a group of Indians, rather it’s a celebrations of how easily the English and Dutch were able slaughter the 700 (mostly unarmed) Indians (including women, infants, and children)in the midst food induced sleep that the great dinner put them in. A similar, more violent, event occurred earlier between the Spaniards and a different group of Indians (aka the almost unheard of true first thanksgiving) but the term thanksgivings wasn’t first coined until an English Governor decelerated it so (aka first “official”, commonly known, Thanksgiving).

Go away, go far away. In a normal world, he’d be institutionalized for being crazy.

Pat Robertson is a very clever man. For decades he has been shovelling this stuff to the bewildered, fearful souls out there and the more he offered they accepted all the while becoming a very wealthy man. Clever right? He is also an evil man to fill the hearts and minds of his faithful with so much ego driven preaching. He is a perfect example of what is wrong with world today and how we got here. Crazy men allowed to just mass brainwash and presenting it as living the ‘ Good life ‘. We all need to individually acknowledge that we don’t need ‘ religion ‘, we just need to acknowledge how beautiful we ALL are as human beings. White, black, male, female, gay, straight and everything in between.

@jsmu: Exactly what I was thinking.

@transiteer: unfortunately Robertson might never die – God doesn’t want him and the Devil doesn’t want the competition. Guess we’re stuck with the senile old bigot.

Dear God, Why did you take Joan Rivers and leave this abhorrent, noxious, vile, twisted foul talking skeleton????

string beans? what kind of an unpatriotic American are you queerty writer? it’s green bean casserole in this country or nothing!

What’s a hoot is that the heaven Robertson thinks he is going to is filled to the brim with rapist and murderers who were “born again” while in prison. Have fun honey.

@MattMatta:
Re: What I never understood about…
This is not widely known but there was a time when the following was taught — “…those who are married should live as though they were not.”
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
@jwtraveler: Pretty sure the vile old smcubag died decades ago, at least his soul did………
Billysees
To be more specific, the above should have read — ââŠthose who are married should live as though they were not.â………1 Corinthians 7:29.
Thank God we don’t live back in those ‘weird’ times.
And we can be thankful that Paul, who wrote that comment, eventually describes his own writings and possibly those of many others in the following way —
1. âŠour knowledge is partial and incompleteâŠ
2. âŠwe see things imperfectlyâŠ
3. All that I know now is partial and incompleteâŠ
(1 Corinthians 13:9,12)
Those three points are exactly the reason it is necessary to judge and evaluate a matter based on all reasonable, âcurrentâ attitudes, experiences and knowledge.
That’s also why LGBT issues are getting more and more positive reactions in the world today, with some exceptions of course. They’ll come around in time.

He’s such a sad, unhappy man. Ask anyone who USED to work for him. Remember when God told him if he ran for president he’d win? Sad pitiful man.
Trippy
The sad part is that this man has a TV network and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And why is that? Because millions of bigots listen to this asswipe every day. He’s crazier than some of those Bible freaks on YouTube, but in his case, he has followers – millions of them – and they send him a crazy amount of money.
Billysees
@Trippy:
“The sad part…”
It is ‘very’ sad indeed. What kind of ‘attitudes’ does he and his program represent? What good is the cynicism he peddles?
And what a shame it is that so many keep him going by their contributions.

hey, fewer dollars to the republican party when these idiots throw their money down this rat hole…Numbnuts Robertson will hire another set designer to spend exorbitant amounts of donated dollars to spruce up his on-air digs. Love it. give, give, give…

his time is up – let’s stop giving him publicity!

Ooooh, squeeze your eyes shut just a little tighter and maybe the scary vision of a world without you and your hate won’t be right in front of your face, Pat!

I can’t believe his daddy Satan hasn’t called Patsy Ratsy home to hell yet!

Dear Satan … on this day of Thanksgiving we ask you to please take your son home and shove pineapples up his ass which is his favorite thing to do. Thank You đ
