But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope

BIG NEWS!!!

Pat Robertson said something stupid. I know... you're stunned. Here is his latest gem of wisdom:

Studies that I have read indicate that having babies is a sign of a faith in the future. You know, unless you believe in the future, you're not going to take the trouble of raising a child, educating a child, doing something. If there is no future, why do it? Well, unless you believe in God, there's really no future. And when you go back to the existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre, the whole idea of this desperate nightmare we are in -- you know, that we are in this prison, and it has no hope, no exit. That kind of philosophy has permeated the intellectual thinking of Europe, and hopefully it doesn't come here. But nevertheless, ladies and gentlemen, Europe is right now in the midst of racial suicide because of the declining birth rate. And they just can't get it together. Why? There's no hope.

That's right. Europeans follow Sartre's philosophy so they don't care about the future therefore they don't have enough kids.

That it why it is now the Pat Robertson Douchebag of the Week Award presented by the Evil Twin if William Jennings Bryan.

I am wiretapping his phone. Actually, Pat Robertson is to the liberal blogosphere as Homer Simpson is to the hot dog vendor. You could send your kids to college off of them.
