Ok not really but I thought for all the crap he takes that I should point out something, I think, even liberals would agree with.  He was talking about how we are spending too much resources prosecuting minor offenses and the effect 'that" has on our youth. Who knows ... maybe he and Stroke will hang out one day!!!  Cheesy

"It got to be a big deal in campaigns," Robertson said on the December 16 edition of his show "The 700 Club." "Lock 'em up, you know. That's the way these guys ran, and they got elected. But that wasn't the answer."

Robertson said there is "something else we've got to recognize. We're locking up people that take a couple of puffs of marijuana and the next thing they know they've got 10 years. They've got mandatory sentences and these judges just ... throw up their hands and say there's nothing we can do."

"We've got to take a look at what we're considering crimes and that's one of them," Robertson added. "I'm not exactly for the use of drugs. Don't get me wrong. But I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot and that kind of thing, it's costing us a fortune and it's ruining young people."

I haven't agreed with much if anything he said before, but maybe ole Pat got one right this time.

By this definition Rand Paul is a bleeding heart liberal.

I'm all for anything that keeps Pat Robertson and every other religious radical out of public office, even if they can mimic a liberal when the lights go on...

Robertson starting to sound like a libertarian.  Not as big a stretch as you think.
