We wound up with the greater of the evils in that deal. I do not admire Israel, or hold any of my views with respect to their defense out of religious conviction. Actually my convictions on the theology of modern-day Israel's relevance puts me at odds with most organized Christian interpretations. I view them basically as a modern, man-made entity that has no connection to the new covenant, which came into effect fully in AD 79, with the Jesus-prophesied destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem by the Romans. Anyway. Be that as it may, I cannot fathom how a rational mind can look at Arafat, the PLO, Hamas, etc., and see anything but truly evil murderous thugs. I think the Israelis are *marginally* better, and certainly better allies to us than the Arab countries that surround it; but it's a moot point. The whole area is cursed by God, per the proposition he made to the actual Israel of the OT--i.e., the blessing vs. the curse. They chose the latter, and here we are. > > Still the question persists in my mind; is McCain a Neoconservative or > might McCain have ties to the Neoconservative? McCain is a vacuous nothing of a candidate, a shameless self-promoter whom even the dreaded neo-cons don't really trust. His single greatest virtue is his willingness to sell friends and party down the river, and he is apparently convinced he can win as a Republican without any Republicans voting for him. He is prevented from picking Lieberman as is candidate only by aides who have convinced him such a move would do him in, and swiftly at that. My biggest problem with McCain is his blind support for free trade, which is totally in line with his professed ignorance about economics. I think it is the reason for his support of the war, not any real affection for Israel per se or believes about post-millenial eschatology, which I doubt he could even spell. Can't have a new world order with guys like Saddam Hussein flouting UN resolutions and all that. If it's scary connections that bother you, you should learn a little bit about Obama's ties to adherents of Liberation Theology, and its Afro-centric offshoot, Black Liberation Theology. That shit will put goosebumps on your back. And he is almost certainly going to be the next president. - Bob > > Regards, > > LelandJ > > > - Bob > > _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
