Walter Russell Mead writes that we shouldn't be that bothered by the Fundies and
one day later Gov. Goodhair Recession says this:
Texas Governor Rick Perry said during a New York press conference Tuesday that his Christian faith requires his strong support of Israel.
“I also as a Christian have a clear directive to support Israel, so from my perspective it’s pretty easy,” Perry said when a reporter asked if Perry’s faith was driving his views, according to the Associated Press. “Both as an American and as a Christian, I am going to stand with Israel.”
Think Progress reported that he made a similar statement a couple of years ago:
In 2009, Perry struck a similar tone talking with the Weekly Standard. “My faith requires me to support Israel,” he said.

says in CNN interview that Obama's UN speech shows a lack of previously expressed empathy for Palestinians and a caving to Zionist Lobby pressure.

There is little difference between
the Democrat elite's pro-Israel
politics that that of the GOP dominant neocons.
Hence Zelikow.

Obama could have been getting away with helping Israel more than could a neocon in the past year or so. Perhaps this expose will change that.

I just saw that today and I'm astounded that he could do something so foolish.

My one disagreement perhaps is my belief a third even fourth party movement is necessary to do what Hughes infers can still be done in the present system.
