Pat Robertson stuns again

Pat Robertson, host of 700 Club, has recently called for a federal law banning same sex couples from adopting pets. This is a comment on Ellen Degeneres' public outburst pertaining to her incorrect "re-gifting" of her adopted dog, Iggy, to her hairdresser. Must I continue?
"It is God's will for dogs to grow up in a loving home with a Dad and a Mom and I strongly praise Mutts & Moms for removing Iggy from a harmful lesbian environment," Robertson said on his show. He explained the Bible says pets need a mother and a father and Degeneres and girlfriend, Portia De Rossi, cannot provide that dynamic. "Where was the male role model in Iggy's life?" Robertson said.
This is how dead serious Robertson is: if the future president does not pass this law, he is going to initiate ballot measures in all the states to override the President's choice. This is what I look forward to next year - a gay pets adoption right?
According to Robertson, all animals, not just dogs, must be kept safe from the hell-ridden households of gay/lesbian couples.
"The plain fact is that same sex couples should not be allowed to raise dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, ferrets, lizards, or any other animal."
However, cats are the exception from the rule because "only liberals and pagans would ever want to raise those spawn of Beelzebub."
I'd like to believe everyone with a brain realizes that this is not only the dumbest call for a law ever brought up, but to play on a media uproar lasting two minutes of air time is a definite stretch to gain some sort of power. Mr. Robertson, this is a joke to me.
We are a country finding love for Tila Tequila, Bret Michaels and Flavor Flave on national television, and he is trying to push this idea that only a man and a woman together should have the right to adopt a pet. Love is far passed sacred these days, Pat. Please check your outdated allegations at the door.
I just hope nobody joins his pet salvation crusade. Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and John McCain have already put forth their vote.

Whenever this guy opens his mouth, STUPID comes out. What a friggin nutjob with a Bible. My dogs could care less that I'm a lesbian. Just like they could care less that he's an idiot. (Continued…)

I can't even begin to say how sad and disgusted I am everytime Pat Robinson, Fred Phelps, or the rest of these zealots open their mouths. Last time I checked, the Bible teaches to love thy neighbor, and not judge lest ye be judged. (Continued…)

I get so frustrated with people like this. I grew up Pagan and became a born again Christian. For years I despised Christians for foolish statements like this. (Continued…)
