(V): It would be one thing if he just found her books interesting , but he totally buys into her philosophy.It will be interesting how he responds in the inevitable interviews where they run the clips where he's slobbering all over her philosophy , a mere 3 years ago
Subject: Re: The bible belt will love Ryan, there is loads of video of him singing her praises
(V): Kinda like their support of Israel, it's strictly strategic to a large extent. I suppose Israel feels the same , but I doubt there is overflowing love of Jews specifically.
Subject: Re: The bible belt will love Ryan, there is loads of video of him singing her praises
The Col: Aye.. strategic is the main thing. It's not about "Jerusalem" or the Jews, but being able to justify billions of dollars of military gifts and the ability to keep a force in the area. From what I've seen the Jews consider the Christians that go help as 'unclean'.

The Col: Lots of things are not 'Kosher' .. who cares. I like Judaism, it's handy for good Bible interpretation rather than the crackpot neo con version.. which is only a young man made up ideology.
Subject: Re: I so agree with you. Some of what they want to control is civil rights issues, not moral issues.
mckinley: Yes, but they make it a moral issue by using GOD!! A few good misquotes out of the Bible and they are putty in the hands of the politicians. The Church doesn't care as it gets nice crisp notes in it's donation plates, and a guarantee of a job for life.
"but I think Romney might win because of Ryan."
He might win over the teabag vote, but it might also drive away the moderates and undecided.

The Col: A lot of Conservatives "love" Mark Twain too. I'm personally a fan of the late Christopher Hitchens. Aside from their atheism, they were great thinkers. So what?
