The sanctity of marriage

Those would be the two.

 

Fuck 'em all, let God sort 'em out.

 

On the surface, Robertson's stance is too damn cold-hearted.

But isn't there a celebrity or a well-known journalist whose wife has/had Alzheimers and he remarried and both still helped to take care of the wife?

 

Isn't there a similar but opposite situation with Sandra Day O'Connor and her husband?

 

Four now that random letters has shown up.

And those that don't agree with him have the right to call him a scum-bag and to criticize his remarks as unChristian and uncivil.

 

This. Both of them.

Robertson has the right to express his opinion, and I have the right to call him an unprincipled prick.

Now, speaking strictly for myself, I took a vow to stand with my wife for better or worse, in sickness and health, and I don't care if she becomes a babbling, drooling shell of herself, I'll be there for her right to the bitter end, and I'm sure she'll be there for me.

 

Of course, we all have a right to disagree with Robertson.

My point is, simply, he has a right to say what he believes and to portray him as the voice of the Republican Party is a straw argument.

 

Sure.

 

Is Robertson's "ministry" still tax-exempt? If it is, that really makes what he says all of our business.

 

I'm a Republican, and just like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, Pat Robertson doesn't speak for me either. While I will almost certainly never marry, if I did, it would be forever with no way out of it, short of her infidelity.

That is one nice advantage Democrats seem to have, they rarely have to distance themselves from anyone. When a lunatic on the left says something dumb, they're usually dismissed as exactly what they are. When a lunatic on the right says something dumb, Republicans usually get lumped in with that comment.
