My friend Arthur Silber points me toward the ravings of one Kay Arthur, a popular "Christian Zionist" author and minister, at the convention of the National Religious Broadcasters: that "more than a half-dozen officials in the Bush administration who are apparently suspected of leaking classified information to AIPAC have had to retain defense lawyers," and writes:
"Perhaps the most startling moment of the morning was an appearance by popular Christian Zionist author, Kay Arthur of Precepts Ministries. 'I love America,' Arthur said, her voice quivering with emotion. 'But if it came to a choice between Israel and America, I would stand with Israel.' While the crowd applauded tepidly, I looked around and saw more than a few faces cringing with embarrassment. Arthur went on to read excerpts from the Book of Revelations, painting a surreal image of Jesus seated in a throne floating above Jerusalem, rapturing all the world’s true believers up to Heaven. She left the fate of unreconstructed Jews to the imagination."
Israel's amen corner in the U.S. is going to be doing a lot more cringing if David Corn, columnist for The Nation, is right. He cites a Washington Post report by David Ignatius
"Six Bushies on the run? That sounds like major news. But no details have leaked out. So let me contribute in my own small way. A reliable source of mine reports that he recently chatted with one of the principle figures in the investigation and that this fellow said the AIPAC scandal was about to "blow up," meaning there would be new, noteworthy developments that presumably would generate headlines. The person talking to my source was in a position to know and in a position to hope for the opposite. Consequently, I would assign a fair degree of confidence to this person's prediction. If that comes to pass, perhaps the Washington media will finally get around to providing more thorough and penetrating coverage of this potential scandal."
Here, at the intersection between religion, ideology, and treason, is where American politics gets truly ... weird. One thing I have to wonder is how and why anyone who is genuinely and sincerely pro-Israel would want to get mixed up with such nutballs. Kay Arthur is the Ward Churchill of the pro-Israel Right, and yet she is intimately connected with all sorts of pro-Israel coalitions and action groups. The Israeli government sent an official representative to the NRB convention.

'But if it came to a choice between Israel and America, I would stand with Israel.'
Oh good. I looked around and saw more than a few faces cringing with embarrassment. Embarrassed because she spoke what they were thinking?
The wretchedness that is Judeo-Christianity.
Our enemy shows its face.
As a character in the film, They Live says, Most of us sell out right away.
I need to get that show. Let me go google it.
HA HA, She's not even one of the "Chosen ones"! She gets to chop wood and carry water for the ones God really likes the best! She can be their cattle, if she can moo in the pasture. No wonder the zions think the goys are stupid, some give them such ample evidence.
LOL! Well said.
I'd like to see her say that to the face of one of the survivors of the U.S.S. Liberty attack. She is the epitome of anti-American.
There is a sickness in America and it has been carefully cultivated.
From : Jerusalem Prayer Team Dear XXXXXX, I am outraged! Our Lord's last words to us commanded that we were to be witnesses unto Him, first in Jerusalem. Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders are organizing WorldPride 2005, an international parade in the city of Jerusalem. This is not heaven witnessing; it is hell. There are now homosexual churches all over America and the world, whose adherents claim to be good Christians. Join our fight to stop this desecration of Jerusalem. Add your signature to our letter of support to Mayor of Jerusalem, Uri Lupolianski, now! http://tool.donation-net.net/CTBF/stophomosexuals.cfm? dn=1032&commid=24018736&id=46168 They plan to travel to Jerusalem from San Francisco, New York City, and cities from around the world. The most disturbing thing about this is that most of the Jewish people in Jerusalem are very religious. That is why they have gone to Jerusalem from all the nations of the world. To have more than 100,000 homosexuals flaunting such decadent behavior in this tiny,holy city where heaven and earth met, and will meet again, is outrageous! They plan to fill the hotels and restaurants, and party like Sodomites, while the world press takes pictures. Even more outrageous is that the Jewish people will think the majority of these people are Christians...because they will profess to be. There is no doubt in my mind that this is an attempt to disgrace everything that true Christians consider to be pure and holy. It is being proclaimed the largest international gathering for gay pride ever. I can tell you with absolute certainty that my dear friend, Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski, a very Orthodox mayor, does not want this. There is no way he can overcome the power of this group without your support. It is vitally urgent that we mobilize one million Christians to petition Mayor Lupolianski not to allow permits to be issued for the WorldPride event in the tiny, holy city of Jerusalem. I want the Mayor to be able to go to the city council and say, "Our strongest supporters are Bible-believing Christians. There are two billion Christians in the world, and they are outraged. We must not allow their holy sites, and this holy city to be desecrated." If we remain silent, they will be baptizing hand-holding homosexuals in the Jordan River. They will also fill the Garden Tomb again and again, taking Communion, and shouting, "Hallelujah." Add your signature now! http://tool.donation-net.net/CTBF/stophomosexuals.cfm? dn=1032&commid=24018736&id=46168 Abraham beheld such decadence, and pled with God to stay His hand of destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah if he (Abraham) could find as few as ten righteous men. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. You can be sure that the majority of the organizers and funds for WorldPride are coming from the United States. We need God's blessings on this nation, not His judgment. I am urgently asking you to enlist 9 of your Christian friends to sign this petition in the next 48 hours. It is URGENT! Please FORWARD this message to everyone on your list, and please ask them to confirm via e-mail that they have signed so you will know that you have enlisted ten more to sign the petition. Please keep this petition going around the world. This is a battle between darkness and light. Satan's last challenge to God Almighty was from the city of Jerusalem...then he would be like the Most High...that he would sit on the mount of the congregation on the sides of the north. There is no doubt in my mind that he is attempting to shake his fist in the face of God. For Jerusalem's Sake, Mike D. Evans
My God. An article entitled Putting Israel First is posted, has 11 posts already, and no appearance by "magic" or "languid" or jizzfan or whatever the f**k that one-note wonder's name is/was/also is. I feel like I'm sitting in heaven. I know your "little forum" needs a few chickenhawks and Israel rah-rah boosters to liven it up now and then, but I admit I like this.
Or Crystalk. I forgot Crystalk. No Crystalk--they must have locked the inmates in for the night.
This seems to be in the oath of office for Congress and the executive branch.
Doesn't Chertoff have dual citizenship with Israel and the U.S.? Some say he does. Then there's Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz.... dare I say, Kissinger? Why the hell should people with anything other than just American citizenship be allowed to hold positions in the American government?? Then there was Turkmenistan. During the business where our American oil company screwed Bridas corporation, Turkmenistan was involved in said screwing and during that period a high-level energy minister of Turkmenistan had--ta-da!-- dual citizenship with both Turkmenistan and Israel. It's like all these countries, ours included, are subsidiaries of Israel. No wonder "Tel Aviv Kay" (compare to Hanoi Jane) openly puts Israel first.
Then there's Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz.... dare I say, Kissinger? Yes, to all the above. Chertoff's dual citizenship is easy, because of his mother, it was automatic. The others will not deny or confirm, but they have family who are citizens of Israel and they have lived in and/or actively promoted Israel their entire lives. Why the hell should people with anything other than just American citizenship be allowed to hold positions in the American government?? THAT is the question.
i like this too. i figure folks who want to engage them can go there. we need one forum for us. ;)
It staggers the imagination.
Some people simply do not know who runs this asylum.
