Pat Robertson called the 2004 election for Bush 11 months early.

He said oil would hit $ 150/barrel in 2008 (it hit $ 147.90) and said there would be some economic collapse.

Just thought I'd put this out there, so y'all can call him out if he's wrong, or praise him if he's right.

Well Jesus Pat Almighty!

Did he call the Darkie winnin the 2008 election?

I predict we'll all be stuck with Pat Robertson and his tiring babble for yet another year.

Every other time he's been wrong.
I'll stick with his percentages and call him a crackpot.

Least we forget:

"Pat Robertson warns of terrorist attack in 2007"

Hey Kirt who has better visions, you or Pat?

Or do you watch the same channel?

Did he predict that he would break his own leg press record of 2000 pounds this year with the help of his "age defying energy drink"?

Did he predict when that meteor was gonna hit Disneyworld fer having "gay days"?

Did he predict when Hugo Chaves was gonna be assasinated or did he just call for it again?

Sorry, but this former faith healer and full time snake oil salesman has less credibility than Bush.

/Which basically puts him into negative numbers.

Be Well.

Pat Robertson is a tired old sack of shit, and anyone who pays any attention to this fraud is either mentally challenged or hopelessly deluded.
Yeah, Kirk, I'm callin' you out.

MORE GEMS FROM PATTYCAKES

In 1980, Robertson predicted the start of World War III, telling his audience that God said the year would be full of "sorrow and bloodshed that will have no end soon, for the world is being torn apart, and my kingdom shall rise from the ruins of it." He also prophecied in the same year that the Soviet Union would invade the Middle East to seize its oil reserves.

In 1988, Robertson claimed that God told him to run for president. He did not win the Republican primary.

In his 1991 book The New World Order, Robertson forecast that U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller would be elected president in 1996.

In 1998, Robertson threatened that, as punishment for flying rainbow flags during Disney World's annual Gay Days event, the city of Orlando would be struck by "earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor".

In 2004, Robertson predicted that George W. Bush would win reelection in "a blowout". Although Bush was reelected, it was by 50.7% to 48.3% - the closest ever margin for a sitting president.

In January 2006, Robertson forecast that the U.S. midterm elections would leave the Republican party in control of Congress. He also predicted that the Iraq war would "come to a successful conclusion" that year and U.S. troops would begin withdrawing.

Robertson also predicted in 2006 that devastating storms and hurricanes would lash the U.S. coast. He must have thought this a particularly safe guess, but in fact no hurricanes made landfall in the U.S. in that year.

Robertson currently features on his official website, under the heading "Operation Supreme Court Freedom," a letter released following the June 2003 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v. Texas that decriminalized homosexual sodomy. In the letter, Robertson asked his supporters to pray for liberal U.S. Supreme Court Justices to retire: "Would you join with me and many others in crying out to our Lord to change the Court? ... One justice is 83 years old, another has cancer, and another has a heart condition. Would it not be possible for God to put it in the minds of these three judges that the time has come to retire? With their retirement and the appointment of conservative judges, a massive change in federal jurisprudence can take place."

Yeah, yeah, fucking yeah. Always with the doomsday horseshit, which we've heard for the last 500 plus years now.

Go away, Pat, and get better material.

Robertson says:
In 2009: The economy will recover, a swift recovery as early as April. People will welcome socialism under Obama, nothing will stand in the way. It will be a new New Deal.

The U.S. will have less power in the world, the dollar will go down dramatically. There will be hyperinflation--$ 300/barrel oil, $ 1500/ounce for gold.

So much for his pipeline to God. The two forecasts are mutually exclusive. He's right about the New Deal socialism; that's common knowledge. There can be no recovery under socialism.

Best of Luck with dat...

Shalom: Can somebody explain to be what these xtians mean by predictions? In Torah, if a prophet claims to hear from Hashem and the so called prophet is wrong, then the prophet is "terminated". So what is the difference between a prophecy and a prediction? And what is the difference between Pat Robertson and Kim Clement? Are they both saying the same thing or not? And what are their salaries. What is the income and salary of Kim Clement? All of this is a little weird to me. But I know that Pat Robertson supports the State of Israel. Joseph benJudah.

Tanks are rollin' in, take cover!

According to the Creator, "if I'm hearing him right, gold will go to about $1,900 an ounce, and oil $300 a barrel," Robertson said.

Comical. People send their money to this clown?

Just like everyone else here.

The "New Deal" was a bust. Happy days are here again.

Who to believe. Capo Di Tutti frutti or Milton Friedman.

According to Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, "Only with the New Deal's rehabilitation of the financial system in 1933-35 did the economy begin its slow emergence from the Great Depression." In fact, even famed conservative economist Milton Friedman admitted that the New Deal's Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was "the structural change most conducive to monetary stability since ... the Civil War."

OK -- if the verifiable evidence proves the New Deal did not prolong the Depression, what about historians -- do they "pretty much agree" on the opposite?

Again, no.

As Newsweek's Daniel Gross reports, "One would be very hard-pressed to find a serious professional historian who believes that the New Deal prolonged the Depression."

As Newsweek's Daniel Gross reports, "One would be very hard-pressed to find a serious professional historian who believes that the New Deal prolonged the Depression."

Serious professional historians have traditionally been state apologists. They typically praise presidents that did the most to expand the state like Lincoln and Roosevelt. I wouldn't take serious professional historians seriously.

Basically Hoover and Roosevelt pulled every lever they could to prevent prices from correcting themselves. By confiscating gold, Roosevelt had the means to inflate the money supply. It made the GDP numbers look good, but it prolonged the depression.

The US was the world's greatest creditor nation in Roosevelt's day. This time the US is the world's greatest debtor nation. When Obama starts spending money he doesn't have, I guarantee he will turn this into the mother of all Depressions.

AGREED.........

But, we will come out of it.

"Serious professional historians have traditionally been state apologists." - Ray

Why, because they invariably disagree with you? Damn, this is a seriously stupid statement.

I agree with Ray, for once. If you read about Carter, it seems as if he were not that bad a president. Anybody who lived though Carter knows better.

"If you read about Carter, it seems as if he were not that bad a president. Anybody who lived though Carter knows better."

Amazingly enough historians have created evaluations of his good points and bad points before they came to their conclusions on his administration. Very unlike the right who brands him simply because he was left of center.

BTW, I lived through Carter and he wasn't anywhere near as bad as the right makes him out to be. His problem was indecision caused by micromanaging, being involved in everything. But he had good ideas, even if they were unpopular since they called for personal sacrifice. Which is why the right loved Reagan so much - no personal sacrifice, just feel good.

I know it's been said many times before, but it is true: Carter was a good man with a good heart and a sincere hope for bettering America. But he was a shitty leader. I voted for him in '76 seeing those good qualities. But his lack of backbone and leadership one would expect from the leader of the free world after the hostages were taken disappointed me.

Remember, history is written by the victors. Lincoln refused the right of states to secede. Roosevelt was a master at welfare and warfare. Their legacies plague us to this day.

"Their legacies plague us to this day." - Ray

Actually, that would be your opinion. Mine is the opposite. This would not be the most powerful nation on Earth without the actions of those two presidents. If Lincoln had let the states secede, there would be two countries here. Which almost inevitably would have been at odds with each other since then. And neither would have helped the Allies in WWI or WWII. Nor opposed Russia. It would have created a disastrous world. I think we are extremely fortunate to have had those two presidents and that they acted as they did.

But his lack of backbone and leadership one would expect from the leader of the free world after the hostages were taken disappointed me.

Carter had bigger balls than Raygun did.

Carter tried to make changes in DC by bringing in outsiders and fer his attempts to disturb the status quo he was shut down not only by the right but the left as well.

HW Bush as VP nom, using his CIA contacts, went behind Carter's back and arranged for the Iranian hostage crisis to last until the election was over in order to make Carter seem ineffectual. Carter's one attempt at rescuing the hostages "Operation Eagle Claw" ended disastrously with a 3 out of 8 helicopters running into mechanical difficulties. One helicopter crashing during a refuel killing 8 servicemen and thus the entire plan had to be aborted. This turned out to be a political coup for both the Iranians and the GOP ticket of Reagan and Bush.

Spud finds all that "bad luck" deeply suspicious to this day.

Anybody who buys into the government investigation that basically cleared HW and his meat puppet Raygun of any wrongdoing in the timing of the release of the hostages is as braindead as that asshole Raygun was before he croaked.

Be Well.

HW Bush as VP nom, using his CIA contacts...

I predict the money supply to be increased with interest greatly in 2009, being produced by the Federal Reserve in order to meant the demands of a slow economy. More public workers, less private workers. A higher gas tax because of less demand and so on.

You don't find it the least bit odd that the Hostages were released WHILE Reagan was being sworn in?

My guess, the RNC's check cleared.

Nothing like giving hundreds of millions of dollars worth of missiles to a country that just released our hostages, is there?

You don't find it the least bit odd that the Hostages were released WHILE Reagan was being sworn in?

Of course I don't. The Iranians weren't fools. They knew as soon as Reagan got his hand off that Bible and lowered his right had that he would tell them, "Turn 'em loose in 24 hours or your country is a glass parking lot". And he would've done it.

The Iranians knew that Carter was a pushover, but wisely knew that Reagan wasn't.

Or we could go with deth's convoluted conspiracy of back door deals, etc.

And yet we had to give them hundreds of millions of dollars worth of missiles? A hostile country? Doesn't wash.

Americanunity-
Yeah, but Reagan did that secretly and illegally, so you have to give him credit for doing that and getting away with it....all the while making folks like Goatman think of him as the John Wayne we never really had.

The best part was that Reagan used the illegal sales of weaponry to Iran to fund his illegal war right here in this little corner of the world.

The missles to Iran were two years later and were proven to be done to fund contra-revolutionaries in Central America.

all the while making folks like Goatman think of him as the John Wayne we never really had.

Betelg, I know it's a stupid question, so I won't ask. But I do wonder why you don't ever tire of assigning positions to other people. It's such a childish act and is tantamount to outright lying.

Good think Reagan's veep and successor pardoned everyone for the illegal and secret arms sales, AND the illegal funding of a proxy war whose funds had been cut off. But, they were only operating in secret and breaking laws to "keep us safe", right?

Reagan involved in convoluted conspiracies?

no way!

Olie North was a good ole boy!

How could I know? According to you they were operating in secret.

Reagan was never pardoned of anything least of all by Bush. So I maintain my position: Reagan was never convicted of a crime in the Iran contra affair. Therefore he is not a criminal as you maintain.

Don't you get enough of your lying jollies by assigning false positions to others? Why do you feel it is necessary to rewrite history, too?

You need help, dude.

Yes, reading is fundamental. Go back and give it another try. You'll see that betelg clearly called Reagan a criminal for participating in the Iran Contra affair. I said he wasn't ever convicted. Betelg responded that their (granted he didn't say Reagan specifically, but the context of the subthread certainly implied it) crimes were pardoned.

It's like a jigsaw puzzle, lettuceprey. You have to put all the pieces together to see the big picture and not look at only one.

Good luck with that.

It's funny how the left likes to portray Reagan as very hawkish when it is convenient to the arguement, but when it is inconvenient, there seems to be no reason to think he was, as in this Iranian implication. They'd rather spin convoluted conspiracies than remain consistent on their ascribed properties of the man.
