Tornado Alley (PROG)

July 26, 2006 -- Christian televangelist huckster Pat Robertson has announced plans to build a 500-acre shopping and residential complex near his Virginia Beach-based Regent University. The complex, called Blenheim Park, is slated to include two hotels, a movie theater, a department store, and a gated community with high-end condominiums and single homes. It is estimated that Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network and "Operation Blessing," both tax-exempt religious organizations, would earn some $20 million per year from the complex.

Robertson, who has called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and the nuclear bombing of the U.S. State Department, has engaged in similar questionable business deals in the past. He was involved in a joint gold mining project with former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor, who now awaits an international trial for war crimes, and a diamond mining project with Zaire's late dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.



The only "light" Pat Robertson ever sees is a big green one with dollar signs flashing on it.

Robertson, who is grooming his son Gordon to eventually assume control of his tax dodging business contrivances, is a prime example of why the U.S. government should phase out tax deductions for churches and other religious institutions.
