Anyone still watching Roberson should realize that they’re enslaved to a vegetable. A bitter old one with a fuzzy, deformed root.

Am I to assume Robertson only consumes meat? Never a salad? No peas or broccoli? He eats doesn’t he? Wht would he be a slave to his body’s needs? Why WHY!??!!! WHY!??! Why does he eat Every Damned Day??

“Why would you become a slave to a vegetable?" Robertson said. “Why? Why would you do it?”

The original scriptures were written on parchment and modern bibles on paper. Both are made from a vegetable plant. So my question to Pat is “why would you become a slave to a vegetable? Why? Why would you do it?”

Technically ketchup is a fruit. The Supreme Court in Nix v. Hedden (1893) determined that ketchup is a vegetable. As you are probably referencing, Reagan affirmed the Supreme Court decision in the early 80s. This landmark decision came about at the same time as the USDA declaration that pizza is also a vegetable.

The cynic in me wants to just point and laugh. The compassionate part of me wants to feel bad that an old man is being mocked by the cynic in me. The realist in me says OMG HOW DOES THIS MAN HAVE SO MANY FREAKING FOLLOWERS?!

Pat’s friends, if he has any, should stage an intervention on his behalf. The poor man needs help.

Actually, and quite seriously, we’re enslaved to Maize. AKA Corn, American Corn. But not for the reasons that Pat the Poltroon believes.
