Do Zionists Not Fight for America?

From where I sit, on the outside it’s interesting to watch Christians go at it, after one another on the topic of Israel and especially Christian Zionism. Many Christians identify this way because they believe, as they have been taught in their churches, that the foundation of the modern Israel (1948) harkens the beginning of the End Times for the world. The Second Coming of Christ. So they are eager to support whatever government exists in that small strip of land. For Christians ///9most) the ownership of the land is clear: just read the Old Testament scriptures. God gave this land to the Hebrews, the descendants of Abraham, end of story. No debate or argument allowed. Well, except the same scriptures show that there were other people that lived in that land before the now Jewish people and those people were driven away by the ancestors of these same people, according to their own sacred scriptures.

Don’t Be Afraid to Tell the Truth

I was going to pen something a little more serious concerning Zionism today, and I actually began a piece which I will eventually finish, but I’m in a different mood today and I really don’t want to boor you too much with serious blather.That doesn’t mean I won’t write something, like now where, as I was writing the other, I thought, How ridiculous is all of this? Well, it’s really ridiculous for someone like me, a non-believer and one that could give a flip whether the State of Israel exists or not. The question arises, in the last half century, in relation to the United States and the Middle East, what would be different without an Israeli state?

Time For A Change?

One thing I think that most of us have noticed is the decided differences between those on the progressive left, and conservatives on the right. What is most striking is how all in one group stick together, no matter what because, in my opinion, it’s party first, individual? Well, we’ll get to you. Conservatives on the other hand are like a clowder of cats and very difficult to hed, not only i the same direction, but to the same sandbox. We see this behavior with our elected officials. One party votes like a bloc (99.99% of the time) whereas the other has to beg its members to hold together for a majority vote. These actions translate downstream to we the constituency.where one ideology is firm in their beliefs, in general, and the other group of ideologues can’t seem to decide who belongs at the table. Guess which is which.

Speak For Yourself

There’s something that always irritates me and of course it happens every day and no matter how hard I try, I can’t avoid it. This occurs on every news channel and every politically oriented podcast (even some that aren’t particularly politically oriented). You’ve heard this too, even if you never watch or listen to anything that is the slightest political. For me it’s when, especially in politically oriented media, a person uses the phrase all Americans, or all of America. I always question how this is known. Is there a poll? Well, sometimes there’ll be a mention of a poll but I’ve never seen one where 100% of American voters, either registered or likely, agree on anything. There’s always going to be a majority of sorts, but none at 100%.

Explaining Political Beliefs in Unrelated Subjects

One fairly new activity for me is perusing YouTube. I was really amazed with all of the various videos on topics I never considered people would be spending time creating. From renovating homes to creating living spaces in vans, along with topics in hstory, archeology, and the various sciences. I’ve come to the conclusion that I really only need a single channel to view. Well, maybe not, but you get my point, right? there’s a lot out there that conforms, I believe, to everyone’s taste. Sure, for the majority of you, my “find” is old news. Well, I never claimed to e on top of verything around me. I am happy to find that the new mewdia sites are less of the usual. One thing I’ve found off-putting are people veering away from the purpose of their channel to make some political statement based on current events.
