Likely Next Texas Lt. Gov: ‘God Is Speaking To Us’ Through Phil Robertson
[su_right_ad]Dan Patrick is a radio station owner and talk show host who became a Texas state senator, and is likely to win the race for Texas lt. governor.
“This is an exciting time for Christians,” Patrick wrote on his Facebook page. “God is speaking to us from the most unlikely voice, Phil Robertson, about God’s Word. God is using pop culture and a highly successful cable TV show to remind us about His teaching.”
“God has used unlikely people in the Bible before to share his Word throughout history,” claimed Patrick. “He is doing it again. Phil’s words will reach more people than any preacher or conservative leader could. It’s clear God is speaking to us and I find it exciting. Click here to support Phil!”
In 2007, Patrick boycotted the Texas Senate’s first Muslim prayer, reported the Houston Chronicle. He walked out during another Muslim prayer in 2012.
Patrick brags about all of his legislation against undocumented immigrants on his campaign website, but the Texas Observer reported in March that he hired an undocumented immigrant when he ran a sports bar in Houston.
In a 2013 commerical …Patrick promised to “secure the border” if he is elected Lt. Governor even though he wouldn’t have that authority.
In 1999 on his radio talk show, Patrick referred to Connie Chung’s TV show “Eye to Eye” as “Slanted Eye to Eye,” reported the Houston Press.[su_csky_ad]

“God is speaking to us from the most unlikely voice, Phil Robertson, about God’s Word”
Just like you can get a good education in Mississippi, or racism is dead, or rove is a truth seeking sage, or Ferguson police believe in fair treatment to all their citizens…..

If he had stated that Thor was speaking to us through Spongebob Squarepants, all mythical characters – we would have him committed.

Wait, SpongeBob isn’t real? Color me crushed.

Ignorant rural backwards Texans love their hateful bigoted christian politicians that want to turn Texas into a theocracy. It’s a thing here in Texas, sad, very sad.
Roctuna October 22nd, 2014 at 9:51 am
The saddest part is, it’s not just Texas.

Just in time for Halloween read the Republican Party of Texas 2014 Platform adopted at their state convention. That is guaranteed to give you a fright.

“Slanted eye to eye”?
Totally not racist, of course.

Who is Phil Robertson?
MarcoZandrini October 22nd, 2014 at 10:38 am
Who cares!
androgyne anode October 22nd, 2014 at 10:44 am
My natural inclination toward curiosity?
Jack E Raynbeau October 22nd, 2014 at 11:09 am
That Duck Dynasty dude.
androgyne anode October 22nd, 2014 at 11:12 am
Oh yeah – the guy that looks like an amber alert waiting to happen. I remember him.
Dwendt44 October 22nd, 2014 at 12:00 pm
The pedophile.
R.J. Carter October 22nd, 2014 at 12:16 pm
Guy with a long beard who took a very very young wife and says religious things.
Or was that Mohammed?
Larry Schmitt October 22nd, 2014 at 12:19 pm
A so-called “reality” show, Duck Dynasty, on A & E. That used to stand for Arts & Entertainment, but they haven’t had either for years.
androgyne anode October 22nd, 2014 at 12:29 pm
I remember him now.

Why is it that god only speaks through the bat-shit crazies among us?
R.J. Carter October 22nd, 2014 at 12:17 pm
Only Joan of Arc knows.
Larry Schmitt October 22nd, 2014 at 12:37 pm
For the same reason that UFO’s only visit knuckle draggers in Arkansas. Because they don’t really exist.
Foundryman October 22nd, 2014 at 10:57 am
We really should help Texas secede…you know..give them a little push..
Larry Schmitt October 22nd, 2014 at 12:37 pm
Would they fit in the Gulf of Mexico?

Mr Patrick Isis called, they’re interested
Thing about religion, you can’t prove he’s wrong. No one knows, unless of course you know the mind of his god.
This is why I could never ever vote for someone like this no matter what letter they have behind their name. Crazy sob’s
Got atheism?

Texas is ‘ground zero’ for crazies elected to public office. Don’t worry, it will just get worse. The Citizens United ruling by the SCOTUS will enable even more dark money to pour into that state. Kim Jong Un could be elected if he had an (R) behind his name on a Texas ballot.

So he’s in love with Phil Robertson who says he’s unsanitary, refusing to bathe and shave because it ‘brings him “good luck” is “about God’s Word. God is using pop culture and a highly successful cable TV show to remind us about His teaching.”-Nutcase!
cecilia October 22nd, 2014 at 5:29 pm
he doesn’t BATH!!!!????!!!!
jebus H christ, STAY the F away from me!
Obewon October 22nd, 2014 at 5:55 pm
IKR! How many RWNJ’s know and copy their idol Phil Robertson saying ‘not bathing or shaving is my secret of success and “good luck” OMG the flea & lice infestations must’ve driven his child bride even nuttier.
Budda October 22nd, 2014 at 1:42 pm
Sorry Skippy, God isn’t talking to anyone, those are just voices in your head. Seek help.

Any universal nexis collective consciousness, has far greater than these duck’s declining 1.8% TV market share. “The ratings decline for “Duck Dynasty” continued as it kicked off its 6th season Wednesday with the show’s lowest numbers since the fall of 2012. In total viewers, “Duck” drew 4.6 M on Wednesday — down 46% from its season 5 premiere (8.5 M) and 23% below its March season finale (6.0 M).”-June 2014. http://variety.com/2014/tv/ratings/aes-duck-dynasty-opens-season-6-with-more-declines-1201219469/

Then that must be some special, exclusive, high-spending demographic for them to still be on the teevee.
Obewon October 22nd, 2014 at 3:20 pm
A&E caters to it’s basketcase ABC TV RWNJ demographic. In 2012, NBCUniversal sold its 15.8% stake in A+E Networks to 50% ABC TV Disney and 50% Hearst, who became 50-50 partners in the joint venture.

This does scare me, the thought that he can be the Lt.gov. The only light will be this will rally the Dems, independents, and the non voters to sit up and take notice. If they or anyone believes perry is a ignorant and dangerous thumper, this guy is worse. He want’s personhood bills, incarcirating women who want or have had abortions, no safety net and no taxes for corporations in Texas.
