Entry: Rise and Shine Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/rise_and_shine#25831 Post contents: Even as many Americans have a fair and positive view of Israel, many of these same people do not want to be embroiled in its wars. But times are changing. Even if we can expose neoconservatives as migsuided, dishonest ethnic chauvinists, what will we do with all of the irrational Evangelicals trying to usher in Armageddon? In the 1980s Jerry Falwell was saying, "God doesn't hear the prayers of a Jew" and conversion projects were in full swing. Today you see Evangelicals with Israeli flags saying Jews don't need Jesus. It's optional, apparently. Look, this is America you can believe in God, Jesus, or nothing. We're a Christian nation, but we've always been pretty welcoming to internal and external people that are different, so long as they are loyal and discrete. Rearranging Christianity and American foreign policy to support Judaism and an explicitly Jewish state, however, is a formula for mass antipathy once the lies and distortions are revealed to the light of day.
