We have insulted God at the highest level of our government. Then, we say, "Why does this happen?" It is happening because God Almighty is lifting His protection from us.... Don't ask why did it happen. It happened because people are evil. It also happened because God is lifting His protection from this nation and we must pray and ask Him for revival so that once again we will be His people, the planting of His righteousness, so that He will come to our defense and protect us as a nation. That is what I want to see and why we say we must have revival.

God Gave U.S. ‘What We Deserve,’ Falwell Says

Television evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, two of the most prominent voices of the religious right, said liberal civil liberties groups, feminists, homosexuals and abortion rights supporters bear partial responsibility for Tuesday’s terrorist attacks because their actions have turned God’s anger against America.

“God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve,” said Falwell, appearing yesterday on the Christian Broadcasting Network’s “700 Club,” hosted by Robertson.

“Jerry, that’s my feeling,” Robertson responded. “I think we’ve just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven’t even begun to see what they can do to the major population.”

first, roberston’s call to take out chavez is clearly based on the policies of prominent democrats, namely john and robert knennedy, who tried multiple times to murder fidel castro. seeing how chavez is referred to by almost everyone as the “new castro” it is clear where robertson got the idea.

as for boots on the ground, many of the right wing activists got their start on robertson’s campaign 17 years ago, and may be drawn to their original candidates choice for president.

bottom line, its hurts flip floppin mitt, and it completely drowned out brownback and mccain. another win for team rudy.
