Sekulow, Robertson, Dobson All Said Nothing When White House Said Miers Religion Would Be Irrelevant To Her Judging

[TheGeneral]

For weeks, White House and Bush Administration spin-meisters dangled the sucker-bait of Harriet Miers Christian religion as a reason why her nomination to the Supreme Court should be supported. And certain "Christian leaders" who are, in reality, Republican Party cheerleaders, swallowed this bait hook, line, sinker and fishing pole.

I will attempt to contact some of the references you gave in your excellent article. Like you I have to ask why are our evangelical leaders missing the boat on these issues. Why can't they see? Your articles on Medved and the Christian Coalition express the same frustration and I feel it too.
However, and I say this humbly, I believe I know what a major part of the problem is. You won't agree probably with my analysis and I am a new post-er on this site but here goes.

The Constitution party leadership takes a neutral stand toward the Jewish people and Israel. I have noticed that there is a silence on Israeli Palestinian subjects almost like it is a non issue as it relates to our country. Yet I daresay most of the well known evangelical leaders like Dobson and Robertson are Pro-Israel. Medved and Sekolow I am sure would be pro-Israel. It is a sticking point and it is not minor.

It is not minor because there is a vast number of evangelical Christians who are supportive of the Jewish people. I sense this because I am one of them and it is very important to me as it is to them. As a result they also may fear or imagine what they preceive as a dangerous radicalism that would take on a NAZI type of conservatism. In other words, the CP is not in their camp and they don't talk to you. We have to talk to you and you all to us to allay these fears.

There is also in my theology the belief that God will bless those who bless Israel. If the CP does not do that it will not prosper as it should and evangelical leaders will mysteriously unknowingly somehow just pass it by whether they realize the Jewish issue or not.

What is the answer? Well, I would hope those leaders in the CP would be good Bereans in this matter and not hold too hard to the theological "party" they are members of and be willing to listen to humble dedicated born again Bible studying Christians who understand the Jewish question differently. Then again, those of us from the other "party" must do likewise. Somehow we must be united for our country's sake.

Why cannot those of you of the postmillenial persuasion acknowledge that maybe - even if Jesus does come after the millenium, he will come back to a Church with Jewish leadership in the forefront and the land of Israel as their home? May God bless you -- no, may God bless us all.

I believe it is a non-issue as far as America is concerned. One of the problems with people like Medved and Sekulow is their obsession with the modern UN-created nation-state of Israel.
