The post is worth it alone for context of Moran’s searching aside about Hagee, Bob Jones University, and the rest of that crowd, when he asks “why aren’t these people read out of the conservative movement the same way the Birchers and other extremists were kicked out by Buckley and others in the 1950’s?” If our political leaders truly want to lead us down a path of transcending divisive politics, lukewarm backpedalling when offered this kind of “support” isn’t going to help get us there.

On the other hand, many Reformation-era Protestants were just as anti-Jewish; neither Luther nor Calvin were known for philo-Semitism. (Luther in fact wrote a tract encouraging pogroms against Jews.) It is foolish to judge modern-day Christian churches by the anti-Semitic beliefs most Christians held five centuries ago. Hagee's concern about historical anti-Semitism in the Catholic Church would seem more credible if his support for Israel were predicated on genuine sympathy for the Jewish people and/or their beliefs. However, it appears to be predicated instead on his apocalyptic beliefs (a theology known as "dispensationalism" which holds that modern-day Israel will be the scene of the last battle between the forces of good and evil.) As for Islam, one need not share the views of a "Christian" extremist like John Hagee to be concerned about Islamic extremism of the variety that has caused so much bloodshed in the Middle East and seems to be seeping into Western Europe. Many Catholics and Orthodox Christians share this concern, though they rarely show the sort of hysteria over it that Hagee always seems to demonstrate.

While reading this post I kept waiting for Rick to give some kind of evidence that Hagee's rant against the Catholic attitude towards Jews during the Middle Ages was incorrect... I'm still waiting. And perhaps the Muslims in the Nederlands, Denmark, France, and England have shown us in America how their exemplary behavior and "model citizen" approach to emmigration should be welcomed here as well. Then again, perhaps NOT. Ditto Simpleman61.

This was not your best entry. I reject banana pudding. I don't like it, and never have. If you do like it, that's fine by me. I denounce trans fats. This man-made poison should not be in our food supply, and I encourage all who eat it to quit. Yes, there is a difference between rejecting and denouncing. Rejecting is a personal choice. Denouncing includes rejecting, and goes far beyond to include finding something worthy of rejection for yourself AND others. Obama lost the chance to win this point, but he still made Hillary look petty. As for some of the "attacks" on Catholisism, would it be an attack on Catholisism to say that some priests acted very poorly toward young men in the past? They are not alone in this horrible behavior, but they should be held responsible for their actions. I denounce the actions of crusaders in the dark ages as being brutal toward noncombatants. It is implicit that I also reject them. Rick,

There are a great many Muslims here in the USA making real contributions to our society. One of our Congresscritters is a Muslim. My wife's broken leg was treated by a Muslim doctor (and he did an excellent job with a badly shattered bone). Let's lay off the hate speech, OK?

Seriously Rick, this rabid anti religious hostility of yours needs to check itself. Most of what you cite is standard biblical teaching or historical fact even if you may not like the way he says it.
