Sorry for the flame, but as the 700 Club runs in the background, I cannot help but get annoyed at the ridiculously petty and uninformed comments that Pat Robertson makes.
He facetiously attempts to consign the current weather as climatic signs that the Earth isn't getting warmer. That alone should reveal his inadequacies of analytical thinking, but if that's not enough for you, consider that in the same show (today, Feb 3, 2009) he reflected on the importance of paying taxes. This is coming from a man that routinely walks the thin line between politicking and maintaining his religious non-profit status? If he's so bent on encouraging others to do their civic duty, maybe he should stop talking politics, get off the non-profit status, and show us the millions that he collects from his viewers, and where that money goes? Is Pat Robertson taking a pay cut so that he can feed the poor in these hard times? Right...not going to happen.
I call on Congress to ask the televangelists to testify on Capitol Hill, if they're taking voluntary pay cuts in order to increase funding for services to help the poor.
