No. Not a Zionist. I care about the people in Israel, and the Palestinian people. I do not support the government of Israel, though. Nor their warmongering.

What gives you that idea? Honestly would like to know what he has said or written that makes you think this.
Maybe he cares what happens to the people of Israel as well as the Palestinian people - even if Bibi / IDF are thugs who should be opposed.

The GOP is a cesspool of them. Sadly. The party that once stood for freeing slaves - and at least works for and doesn't assume the votes of ethnic minorities.

This is great. I've never liked the all black and white depictions of the US flag. Never been fond of those skull looking "cartoons" either. Lived at OBX for a while, so kind of used to Jolly Roger flown mostly in fun. But only skull & bones I really like are those at foot of old crucifixes.

I am LCMS. I do not see a collective naziism, God be praised, but a cancer, a leaven that wants to spread. I see a church that is speaking but seems too slow to act against it. That dog needs kicking before any more children need consoling!
