It’s All Your Fault!!

Yes, I’m talking to you! You on the other side of this monitor, sitting there in your underwear eating Cheet-O’s. You had your chance back in 1995 to do the right thing but NOOOOOOOOOOO .... you just had to send the money. You picked up the phone and gave them your credit card number or you wrote out a check, licked the stamp and yelled “Praise The Lord” as you deposited it at the Post Office. All of you out there who cribbed your social security checks together are to blame.

God asked for $8 million and was holding Pat Roberston for ransom. You knew it was true because Pat Robertson told you so. Well, I hope you’re happy now. God got his money and Robertson was left unharmed. No biblical plague descended on his house and the frogs rained elsewhere than on his head. You had your chance and you blew it. You could have thumbed your nose at God and told Him to go ahead and take Robertson. But you didn’t. Now you have to contend with this kind of crap from the $8 Million Dollar Man ....

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (AP)—Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has suggested that American agents assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming “a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism.” An official of a theological watchdog group on Tuesday criticized Robertson’s statement as “chilling.” “We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability,” Robertson said Monday on the Christian Broadcast Network’s “The 700 Club.”

“We don’t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator,” he continued. “It’s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.” Chavez has emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of President Bush, accusing the United States of conspiring to topple his government and possibly backing plots to assassinate him. U.S. officials have called the accusations ridiculous.

“You know, I don’t know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it,” Robertson said. “It’s a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don’t think any oil shipments will stop.” On Tuesday, critics objected to Robertson’s statements. “It’s absolutely chilling to hear a religious leader call for the murder of any political leader, no matter how much he disagrees with such a leader’s policies or practices,” said the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

David Brock, president of Media Matters, a liberal media watchdog group, said the remarks should discredit Robertson as a spokesman for the religious right. Robertson, 75, founder of the Christian Coalition of America and a former presidential candidate, accused the United States of failing to act when Chavez was briefly overthrown in 2002. A Robertson spokeswoman, Angell Watts, said he would not do interviews Tuesday and had no statement elaborating on his remarks.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
