The " Pat Roberston Attitude " over the Brownwood Airwaves
Israel Suspends Contact With Pat Robertson
JERUSALEM, Jan. 11, 2006 (AP)
(AP) Israel has suspended contact with evangelist Pat Robertson for suggesting Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine punishment for withdrawing from the Gaza Strip.
The controversy has cast doubt on plans for a Christian tourism center that would showcase the growing flow of money and influence from U.S. church groups.
The decision, announced Wednesday by Israeli officials, does not affect other Christian groups that also consider it their spiritual duty to support Israel as fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
Israeli leaders see the Christian allies as tireless lobbyists in Washington and elsewhere. The evangelicals also funnel millions of dollars each year to Jewish settlers in the West Bank and _ before last year's pullout _ the Gaza Strip.
Tourism Minister Abraham Hirchson said he gave instructions to "stop all contact" with groups associated with Robertson. Last week, Robertson implied Sharon's massive stroke was a blow for "dividing God's land" with the withdrawal from Gaza and four West Bank settlements.

Note from Steve: The same viewpoint was expressed over the airwaves of Brownwood Talk Radio (KXYL) by a regular female caller to the show ( she's a Minister ? ). For me, This goes back to what Brownwood's Republican Congressman, Mike Conaway's Chief of Staff Jeff Burton, said in his email to me " they think they can do or say anything in the name of GOD " and " it's scary on your end of the district " as it relates to the "Religious" folks (Republicans) in the Brownwood area and the District ! Pat's comments remind me so much of Brownwood's Legendary Talking Head and Republican Spokesperson/ Moralist, James Williamson, who for ten years over the Brownwood airwaves told his "flock" how immoral the Democrats and Liberals (Cockroaches James ?) are and how upright and moral (superior ?) the Republicans and Conservatives are. James, your BS is being unmasked on a daily basis, even if your "sheep" aren't talking about it on locaI talk radio ! I think this calls for a reading of Carl Sandburg's " Billy Sunday " and a hot cup of Fair Trade Coffee in a Brokeback Mountain Tin Cup ! Does anyone know why Hal Lindsey was removed from TBN ? James ,did you and your fellow GOP moralists do it for the votes ? Hal, who was it you said was " as full of crap as a Christmas Turkey " ? I think maybe your own words could apply to you and other "players" like you !

Scandal after Scandal erupting in the Religious Right/Republican Party ! Just take a look at the names.

Kinky Friedman, "Independent" Candidate for Texas Governor sums it up pretty well for me:
“I'm angry at politicians who use Jesus Christ as a marketing tool” ~ Kinky Friedman - Candidate for Texas Governor - DMNews October 24, 2005
and I don't think Kinky had the Democrat's in mind when he said this !

Wolves in Sheeps Clothing ? Why are the Brownwood Airwaves so silent on all of this ? You know why ! It would expose over 10 years of lies coming out of the mouths of Religious moralists transmitting from Brownwood Texas !

Brentwood man arrested, accused of raping, sexually abusing 2 sons
Incidents allegedly took place in 5-year period
By MITCHELL KLINE Staff Writer
BRENTWOOD — A Brentwood man was arrested yesterday on charges of raping and sexually abusing two of his children over the course of five years.
The 50-year-old man is being held at the Williamson County Jail in lieu of posting $500,000 bail. A court date had not been set yesterday.
The two children, boys ages 12 and 16, have been removed from the home, according to police.
The Tennessean does not identify victims of rape without their consent.
Because the children have the same last name as the suspect, the newspaper is not identifying the defendant. The case, which was investigated by Brentwood Detective David O'Neil, was presented to a Williamson County grand jury on Monday. The grand jury returned a 10-count indictment, charging the defendant with eight counts of rape of a child, one count of rape and one could of aggravated sexual battery, District Attorney General Ron Davis said.
The charges stem from incidents that allegedly occurred between September 2000 and December 2005.
O'Neil said the defendant, who is married, has four other children — two of whom are adults.
"At this point we have no reason to believe there are any other victims," O'Neil said.
Allegations of rape and abuse were brought forth by one of the victims, police said. On a mid-December day, a Brentwood patrol officer was called to the family's home to help resolve a domestic issue, O'Neil said. One of the boys told the officer that he and his brother had been abused.
Attempts to reach the defendant's attorney were not successful. A male who answered the phone at the defendant's Brentwood home hung up on a reporter after asking, "What is this regarding?"
The suspect is involved in the Christian book-publishing industry, according to police and numerous Web sites.
Marita Littauer, president of CLASServices, a New Mexico-based company which coordinates Christian writers conferences, said she knew the defendant on a "professional level."
"I seriously question the charges," Littauer said. "I cannot believe they are accurate."
Davis and O'Neil said few details would be released about the case because they do not want to identify the victims. •
