4. Yep.

He prayed on his show for God to "make further vacancies on the Supreme Court". The vacancy that prompted that prayer was a result of Sandra Day O'Conner's retirement, due to her husband's illness if I'm not mistaken, so you can guess what he's really asking for there.

7. He was. Of course ...
According to Pat Robertson, homosexuality is the cause of everything he perceives to be negative in the world, abortion included.

12. Perhaps this will shed a little light on the
subject.....

One of the more controversial mining ventures in Liberia in recent years has been famed American televangelist Pat Robertson's Freedom Gold Ltd. and its relationship with Charles Taylor. The company signed a "Mineral Development Agreement" with Taylor's government in April 1999, under which the company was to "mine, sell, export and explore minerals" (diamonds and gold) in Liberia, and give a three per cent royalty to the Liberian government. The Liberian Legislature refused to ratify the agreement, but the venture proceeded nevertheless. Freedom Gold started a diamond mining venture in southeastern Liberia the following year. It subsequently emerged that the company's deal with Taylor included a 10 per cent ownership by the President, excluding royalties and rental fees. Robertson was apparently so pleased with the arrangement that when, after Taylor's 2003 indictment, U.S. President George W. Bush (for whom Robertson reserves strong admiration and support) called on Taylor to resign, Robertson berated the American President, accusing him of "undermining a Christian Baptist President to bring in Muslim rebels." Freedom Gold remains a registered company in Liberia.
