The New World Bore, September 6, 2006
Even Amazon's review is no more than two sentences long. Talk about damning with faint praise. Here's why I would not recommend this book.
First, it's Robertson's constant repetition of analogies about the use of the words, new world order. (I get it already. Move on!) You get the feeling that he is regarding his readers as simpletons.
Second, he explains things in such nauseating detail, which educated Americans over the age of ten would not need explained. (I get it already. Move on!) You get the feeling that he is regarding his readers as simpletons.
Third, he talks about this mysterious group, the Illuminati. This is a supposedly secret organization that every superstitious Christian knows about, but which no one has found a single, live Illuminum to bring out of the overthrow closet. I get the feeling that I am regarding him as a simpleton.
At the risk of sounding effete or pedantic, this book is suited more toward a fourth or fifth grade reading level. It's repetition, simplemindedness, and whackadoodle philosophy will give you the thousand yard stare.
I sure am sorry I bought this. (I feel like such a simpleton.) The only thing this book might be good for is sleep apnia. Use with a strong toss of rye. Otherwise don't go near this book unless you have a cross and a charm of garlic. (Oh, the irony!)
You'll find more excitement in a bottle of Geritol and a lost episode of The Lawrence Welk Show.
This is the new world bore.

Should be shelved under "Horror", January 21, 2006
Pat Robertson is not a Christian. A Christian is one who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, who spoke of a loving, peaceful and forgiving God who loves everyone as his children. Robertson speaks of a God who destroys cities with hurricanes for the actions of a few immoral people, who will abandon an entire town to destruction because they didn't want ID crap in their schools, who almost kills world leaders for trying to make peace, who doesn't care if people contract a deadly virus if they had sex before marriage, and who will basically consign to enternal torture everyone not of Robertson's belifs. This particular book "exposes" the "attack" on Christianity in an 80% Christian country by the untold millions of radical left-wing atheist secularists. The problem with this theory is that the radical left-wing atheist secularists don't exist, except for about maybe three people. Atheists are generally tolerant of other's belifs, and though I'm a Christian I would sooner believe in no God than in Robertson's vengeful, destructive god. If Robertson--God forbid--ever becomes president, I will seriously consider leaving the country before it becomes a theocracy. Don't buy any of his books, or anything related to him, because you'll only make him more grossly rich than he already is. (Actually, I'd rather assume he's a greedy fake than what he appears to be and says he is, but still.) If Christ were on earth today, He would condemn Robertson as He did the Pharisees and hypocrites.

Fraud and liar, destined to get the lowest part of hell., June 4, 2005
On the cover of Time magazine, February 17, 1986, Pat Robertson is displaying a masonic gesture. He's one of the masons. This guy has no integrity. He's a liar and a thieving con-man. Him and others like him (Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Paul Crouch, Kenneth Copland, etc.) deplete Christians of their finances and thereby deplete Christians of any economic clout in the market place of ideas since they are too busy giving these evil men donations. Read Fortune, "Pat Robertson: Oil, Gold and Jesus," June 10, 2002. On page 133 of Fortune, "[Pat Robertson's] portfolio so far: a gold mine in Liberia, a mothballed oil refinery, and $78 million in losses". In the same magazine, Pat Robertson says he "drools" at the sight of money. He also admitted not writing this book when he was held to account by liberals for statements made in it. Yet he puts his name on it. On his older books he says he's a lawyer, yet he never took the bar exam. He claimed to be down and out in his youth, yet he was the son of a senator and went to Yale. This anti-Christ knows no principles. He kicks pro-lifer's out of his law school (Regent) yet he claims to be against abortion. Don't waste your money on this degenerate. He's incompetent in handling your money, even when he uses it for his own selfish gain. He praised President Mobutu of Zaire even though Mobutu was slaughtering innocent people in the streets. Of course, the operation blessing planes needed to land in Zaire to retrieve diamonds from Robertson's diamond mines. Volumes could be said on what a slimey worm Pat Robertson is. Nuff said for now.
