NeoConMan Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Really. Who is at fault? What caused the earthquake in Haiti? Who killed an estimated 100,000 people? Good ol' Pat Robertson has it all figured out. The Televangelist said on his CBN TV show that they brought it on themselves. In an effort to rid themselves of French rule 200 years ago, they made a Deal With The Devil. WTF??? B) No kidding, check it out for yourselves... [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Then there's actor/activist/sh!t-stirrer Danny Glover. Now he says that it's our fault in the United States. Because we didn't do what we "should have" at the Global Warming Summit in Copenhagen. Here's the "news" show he made the statement on, the clip is pretty lengthy. I could not embed it, sorry. www.freespeech.org/video/grittv-earthquake-haiti Here's a short audio clip that gets right to the point of the matter. Same audio from Glover. [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Give me a break!!! To use a phrase I picked up from my Dad years ago, they're BOTH nuttier than a sh!t house rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Obama caused it. He needed something to lift his approval rating so he had his secret scientists devise a way to cause an earthquake. He can then rush to their aid and make himself look favorable. Just like when Bush had the twin towers attacked. Katrina was also Bushes doing. Mwohoohoohhohahahahaahaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cookieman15061 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 In a related note Pat and Danny used to be in the same band until a songwriting credit squabble sent everyone solo. I hear they both play gibsons though. B) good times....goodtimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 ~ ~ NEWSFLASH! ~ ~ NEWSFLASH! ~ ~ NEWSFLASH! ~ ~ Now the White House says it will allow Haitians already in the U.S. illegally to remain here in the USA. Isn't that special...? Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano granted them temporary protected status on Friday. It's only available to Haitians already in the country, cuz, ya gotta draw the line somewhere... I didn't know this, just found out that on Wednesday Napolitano temporarily halted deportations of Haitians, even those already in detention. In other words, they were arrested for criminal activity because God knows Napolitano would NEVER have someone detained simply because of their immigration "status" - as they call it. A statement in there somewhere was that "temporary protected status is granted to foreigners who may not be able to return safely to their country because of a natural disaster, armed conflict or other reasons...." Let me point out something here; Maybe that's what it used to mean. Those Haitians already being fed, housed, clothed, educated, medicated, and legally represented courtesy of the American taxpayers weren't going anywhere anyway. Anybody have any idea how many people we actually deport from the United States each year? Not very many... I guaran-fxcking-tee you Napolitano didn't do anything to stop the flow of literally millions of criminal invaders coming across the Arizona/Mexico border when she was Attorney General and then Governor of Arizona. The plan is to get 20 million of them some sort of residency status here in order to get them registered to vote. And who will they vote for? The people giving away all the "free" sh!t that I pay for. Same as them wanting to restore voting rights to millions of felons, even those still behind bars. So if the Haitians, Mexicans, Somalians, Nigerians, Palistinians have a criminal record - no problem... This nation needs an enema, and it needs to be inserted in the Potomac River. Hopefully Napolitano has her mouth open.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Haitia's exiled former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide says he'll go back and fix everything! He screwed up the poorest, most screwed-up country in the western hemisphere even more during the 15 years he was in and out of office, depending on the mood of the people and the military. What aid they were getting from around the world was put in jeopardy by his stupidity several times. Nobody seems to remember our military has been in and out of there for decades, in the 90's they were actually keeping the peace and stopping the rioting/looting/murdering as best they could. Now he's gonna leave his hiding place in South Africa and return to "help" them. He made the statement, but refused to speak to the media, so who knows what that idiot intends to do. I'm sure he'd like to start drawing a steady paycheck again - lotsa money gets thrown around in a crisis.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Judging from Pat Robertson's drivel, I would say HE is the devil. And I would add, anyone who believes him is just plain stupid. Here we have a true natural disaster, and if the people there aren't having enough problems, we have this evil "man of God" insulting them and telling them it's their own fault. That goes beyond thoughtlessness and is both cruel and evil. Insights and incites by Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Now the White House says it will allow Haitians already in the U.S. illegally to remain here in the USA. Isn't that special...? Not really. The same thing was granted for Honduras and Nicargua in 1999 after a hurricane and for El Salavador in 2001 after earthquakes there.

Gilliangirl Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Pat Robertson is still alive???? Good gawd, how old is he now??? I think he must have dementia. Have you ever noticed how people with extremist views tend to turn into caricatures of themselves as they age? Robertson has gone off the deep end.

65 Casino Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well, I don't know who was at fault but I did hear that a Haitian hit an A note on a Lester hooked up to a hot rodded Marshall stack and the sustain was a tad too much. Seriously though, my heart goes out to them. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. I have an employee from Haiti that does not know if his mom is alive or dead. He did hear the house was still standing...but does not know if she was at home or out and about. Can you imagine wondering if your mom was dead or alive and no way to find out?

Bowdiddley Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Instead of bashing an old man for saying something VERY STUPID, (we all have said stupid things before), I will just say my heart breaks for the Haitian people and my prayers are with them. http://www.worldvision.org/worldvision/eappeal.nsf/egift-haiti-earthquake-relief?Open&campaign=113655125&cmp=KNC-113655125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Personally I think it was the Mid Atlantic Fault' date='[/quote'] The North American and Caribbean plates meet in Hispaniola - a geological nightmare. Notably, the US territory Puerto Rico is only 400 miles from Haiti. However it does not have a fault line running directly through it, and in fact rests on its own micro-plate. Still it has had earthquakes, the last being in 1918. Also notable, the last major earthquake in Hispaniola occurred in 1946 in the Dominican Republic, the very place Robertson cited as being superior to Haiti since the Dominicans had not made a deal with the devil. One wonders to whom Robertson would attribute the Dominican quake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Pat Robertson said the same damn thing about 9/11 and Katrina. No big surprise. Practically speaking, Uncle Sam can't exactly deport Haitian illegals back to a rubble heap, so no big surprise there either. I doubt their votes will be a windfall for anybody anyhow, on the Federal level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxson50 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 It's my fault (no pun intended). I admit it now. I own a earth quake machine, I bought it on ebay! Got a heck of a deal. What a stupid question! Man doesn't cause earthquakes! We can't cause hurricanes either, that's why they are called "natural disasters". No the Earth didn't strike back at man for peeing on her, or throw beer cans in a river.....or for pumping car exhaust into the air. The most powerful earthquake ever recorded in North America happened in the early 1800's on the New Madras fault line which runs under the Mississippi River basin, the Mississippi River actually ran backwards for two day's. There were no car's, there were few large city's, there were fewer large smoke stacks pumping fumes into the atmosphere. Time to grow up folks, we live on this rock at the mercy of nature. We are just not that important to the cosmos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I kind of liked the idea of getting an earthquake machine off ebay. That's something I'd like to see.
