Televangelist Pat Robertson said on Monday that he admired Ronald Reagan so much he wished the former president would “rise from the dead.”

“I wish Reagan would rise from the dead and come back,” Robertson said, chuckling, on his CBN television show “The 700 Club” Monday morning.

Robertson went on to contrast Reagan with the current president, who “does not believe in America” and was mentored by “leftists who don’t really love this country.”

  1. Reagan rises from the dead, feasts on Pat Robertson’s brain, gets food poisoning, and is dead again within a week. Good times.

  2. If Reagan rose from the dead he’d probably take a look at his party and register as a Democrat.

  3. These people are insane. They prove that every day.

    Zombie Reagan would still have the two-term Constitutional limit preventing his candidacy for President. But then again, if Zombie Reagan shows up, all bets are off.

  4. When the Marine barracks in Lebanon was bombed, Reagan ordered the remaining Marines home. Reagan cut and ran. Is this the guy that Robertson thinks loved his country? Obama never cut and ran. Robertson may or may not be addled-brained enough to believe the crap that comes out of his mouth, but his listeners believe every word, and know next to nothing about anything. They are the GOP base.
