"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians." - for that one, do we banish him to Germany? Or better, Israel?
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians. NOW is saying that in order to be a woman, you've got to be a lesbian." - we would need to determine which country has the largest population of lesbians, and send him there. Is there a Lesbia in our magic universe?
"I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you." WTF??? He was referring to an Orlando, FL Gay Pride event. - for this he would need to stay in the states, but someplace predominately gay. Do NOT crucify me for this. I'm thinkin' the Castro in SF? Or Key West? Or South Miami Beach? So much fun!
"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." - OMG! I think he needs a brief visit to heaven - brief! - so Jesus can set him straight.
"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected him from your city. And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there." -- Another stateside dwelling - Dover, Pennsylvania where they voted to boot the current school board, which instituted an intelligent design policy that led to a federal trial.
"God considers this land to be his. You read the Bible and he says 'This is my land,' and for any prime minister of Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, 'No, this is mine.' ... He was dividing God's land. And I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations, or the United States of America.' God says, 'This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.'" -- Pat Robertson, on why Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke. Another vote for Israel!
"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with." –Pat Robertson, calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Okay, that's one for Venezuela...
Regarding the 911 attacks: After Jerry Falwell said, "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say: "You helped this happen," Pat said, "I concur." Where in America would we send him, along with Jerry, for that one??
Well, looks like we need to find an area in Isreal that is largely populated by gays and lesbians. That should do it. We do not want to send him to Haiti. Those poor people have suffered enough.

As part of his banishment I would make him study the real history of Haiti. Let him learn of the peoples struggles for independence and freedom from slavery. Let him see what it takes to live in poverty and ruin.
I would hope he would learn to help and not slander, have compassion and not hatred, to be a force for good and not evil.

M$There are several Extrasolar Planets available for colonization and every one of them would be great for Pat Robertson. If there ever was a better reason to fund the heck out of NASA and its endeavors to find new planets in the universe I have not found a better one than the lunacy of Pat Robertson.
Here is The NASA Launch Schedule
The next trip up by the Space Shuttle Endeavor will be on February 7th, 2010 and I wonder if we can wait that long.. I'm sure if we can convince Pat to go the way of Kirk the Earth will hold its breath for the launching of Pat Robertson into outer space.. for humanities sake.
Ideally this planet would be nice for Pat

I prayed to God this morning and He said to me.. "@buddawiggi ..This is the plan of God.. Pat Robertson belongs in outer space.. send him and all will be well"
So I am doing what I can by mentioning this here .. my duty as a servant of God to help Pat Robertson fulfill his destiny of extrasolar planetary travel and also fulfill the destiny of mankind.
God help Haiti.

Oh Budda, horrors! Pat Robertson as an American Ambassador to the Universe. I shudder to think of it. What if he finds life on other planets, we could not live with the idea of inflicting him on them. How about we send him to the diamond mines in Sierra Leone, that is about as close to hell on earth as one can get, and of course he would not be allowed to take a camera, or microphone.
The ideals of the 1st amendment to the United States Constitution are some of the most revered and fiercely protected of all the freedoms afforded to Americans. This is a very important issue and needs to be addressed here.
I would just like to be clear that in his travels to outer space Pat can take with him these ideals .. each and every one of them.. he will be our American Ambassador to Outer Space. Pat Robertson can take with him the power to build a new America, an America built from the same brick and mortar of our beloved country has been founded on and this new America will have the same ideals and freedoms we have here at terrestrial America. There will be just fewer people to hear him and that will make all the difference.
Pat Robertson will be a hero to all those who aspire to greatness and he will fulfill the destiny of the United States by raising our flag in another solar system... for the good, nay the great of all of humanity now and for all time to come.
I was just hoping Pat would buy the whole 'Ambassador' thing to get him suited up and ready to launch. I am not really concerned with the plight of those he comes across whilst astropreaching and planting flags.
He could be the Bruce Willis character at the end of "Armageddon" .. he looks like the hero and believes he is acting like one too but we all know he is never coming back..
*tear
To redeem himself from the wrongs of saying “Haitian slaves selling their souls to the devil and suffering for it”, he needs to do the following to match:
1. Haitian slaves selling souls : he needs to use all his money to bury the deads, cleaning the messes, rebuild Haiti.... until he has nothing left like a slave;
2. to the devil: he needs to pray for all livings and deads of Haiti;
3. suffering: charity to reduce suffering of every Haitian
For his ignorance and negative impact of his speech:
He needs to study the Haiti history; be a teacher teaching the youngs about Haiti’s history and promoting Haiti to the world. :-)

On the other hand, maybe Saudi Arabia would be better. That way he would have less wiggle room and couldn't decide to belong to one of the approved Christian churches as he could in Eritrea.

I would banish him to the USA where they practice freedom of speech and hold it to be of high importance among their constitutional rights. In the United States, people are free to say whatever they want without fear of banishment or commitment threats. The people of the United States of America hold dear and protect the rights of all views to be expressed and would never infringe on those rights simply because they find someone's speech distasteful. They thought it was so important that the included it in the very first amendment to their constitution, and even the president takes an oath to protect those rights.
Oh, wait.......

I actually tried to think of a funny or creative answer that you might like, and was unable to do so. I'm such a failure! Maybe next time.
Don't get me wrong, @keepontrying, I am not suggesting he's done anything "banishable" (if there was such an offense or punishment), nor am I suggesting taking away anyone's free speech. I love free speech, I support free speech. This is just a "for fun" question.
And as such, I would've liked to have gotten an earnest answer from you, even if you chose a friendly or welcoming nation, or a place where Robertson could do some good! The sky's the limit, so long as the banishment removes him from America in some way. I'd love to hear a nice creative answer from you here in the comments section! :)
Aww, you're not a failiure, @keepontryin! And I love that you stood up for free speech. I always appreciate that. Thanks for giving it a shot! :)
Seeing as how I'm the only one suggesting keeping free speech in America no matter how distasteful, I'd say my answer was plenty creative and unique. Sorry you disagree. Can't win them all.

Thanks for a good time! I love MA, especially when there's the opportunity for fun. And, as always, I researched and learned while answering, so this was a particularly good one! I hope everyone enjoyed Pat's "Words of Non Wisdom." Buddawiggi asked if he should be put away in another question. I liked that one, too!
Oh, and about that other answerer, I presume the term "political satire" is a new one.
