Back to Rev. Pat Robertson

Pat Robertson is still pushing for his takeover of America.

From the New York Daily News we get this report of what Robertson told George Stephanopoulos Sunday Morning: "Federal judges are a more serious threat to America than Al Qaeda and the Sept. 11 terrorists, the Rev. Pat Robertson claimed yesterday.

"Over 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings," Robertson said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

"I think we have controlled Al Qaeda," the 700 Club host said, but warned of "erosion at home" and said judges were creating a "tyranny of oligarchy."

Confronted by Stephanopoulos on his claims that an out-of-control liberal judiciary is the worst threat America has faced in 400 years - worse than Nazi Germany, Japan and the Civil War - Robertson didn't back down.

"Yes, I really believe that," he said. "I think they are destroying the fabric that holds our nation together."

We need to remember that when Robertson speaks of a 100 year erosion of the American consensus, he is basing this on his fiction that America started out as a Christian Nation, and he wants to bring that back. The idea that most of the founding fathers were Deists rather than dogmatic Christians in his image is something he rejects. He is one of the leaders of the Dominionist movement.

If you read "Terror and Liberalism", Robertson is pushing an authoritarian regime to take America back to his "Ur Myth." The myths vary, but the pattern of rejection of liberalism (or modernism) and an authoritarian government is the approach they take.
