As if on cue, Pat Robertson and his lefty counterpart piped up yesterday after I posted on Bishop Wright.
"I think George Bush is going to win in a walk," the religious broadcaster said on his "700 Club" program on the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded. "I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way," Robertson said. "The Lord has just blessed him," Robertson said of Bush. "I mean, he could make terrible mistakes and comes out of it. It doesn't make any difference what he does, good or bad, God picks him up because he's a man of prayer and God's blessing him."
The article also features a Reverend who leads the 'Americans United for Separation of Church and State.'
It's tragic that for many of the unchurched in America, the public face of religion is the politicized cleric. From white Evangelicals they see Robertson and Falwell. In the black community the public face is oftentimes corrupt and radicalized pastors who pass the plate for Jesse Jackson in the middle of service. From the mainline the public gets a stream of milquetoasts lecturing against the war and for various left-wing causes. All three equally misrepresent the Church of Christ to the watching world.

I seem to recall Robertson prophesying that the other Bush was going to win. If it's like 53% bush, 4%other, and 43%Dean, can we finally stone him?
