Pat Robertson Wants Pot Legalized?

Either the earth has completed it's feared polar shift, and we are all on a different dimension, in a parallel reality, or hell has officially frozen over. Pat Robertson, of the 700 Club, that very Christian, fundamentalist bunch of right wing people who never cease to amaze yours truly with their unrealistic "rightwingness", has declared that he thinks marijuana should be legalized and treated the same way our population treats alcohol!


I never thought the day would come when yours truly would actually agree with something said by Pat Robertson, who thinks there are demons in Halloween candy and that the earthquake in Haiti in 2010 was caused by a pact with "Satan" made three hundred years ago. Usually, when I hear about him, I just think of every born again nut who has tried to tell me that the master puppet hates me and that I won't be in heaven and laugh. But this time, I have to wonder why all the other fundies aren't listening to him. He's making sense! (I still don't understand how that's possible) Here's more.

And here's a quote from CBS:
"I just think it's shocking how many of these young people wind up in prison and they get turned into hardcore criminals because they had a possession of a very small amount of a controlled substance," Robertson said on his show March 1. "The whole thing is crazy. We've said, `Well, we're conservatives, we're tough on crime.' That's baloney."

And another:
 "If people can go into a liquor store and buy a bottle of alcohol and drink it at home legally, then why do we say that the use of this other substance is somehow criminal?"

And one more:
"Defenders of marijuana prohibition... must be wondering if it's only a matter of time before theirs proves to be a lost cause."

Whoa! Either Pat Robertson got hold of the wrong page of the calendar, and thought it was April Fools Day, or the whole Christian population in America has been on the bandwagon with something that is very political and not at all spiritual or moral since 1937.
