Pat Robertson must think God really is a conservative

Pat Robertson has decided that our Supreme Court has got to go, and he wants us all to call on the Lord to drive them out of their overstuffed leather chairs....

An interesting presupposition inherent in Robertson's court purification plan (though it is never spelled out) is that God is a political conservative, and is therefore inclined to insert himself into our political process to support right-wing political causes. One might assume that Robertson would have cause to question the depth of the Lord's dedication to far right politics since he failed to install Robertson in the White House when he ran for president on the "God's candidate" platform, but I suppose he is much too busy for such intense self-reflection....

... As usual, God has not issued any direct statements regarding the makeup of the Supreme Court or any of other political issue, so we are forced to either accept the veracity of self-proclaimed prophets like Pat Robertson or make up our own minds about what God would have us do in regards to our government, if anything.

After all, if the Lord is really a huge Pat Robertson fan, you'd think Pat would be issuing these proclamations from the Oval Office now, instead of from his website.
