I just don’t get why they could ever, ever possibly hate us
CANTOR WANTS A ‘JUDEO-CHRISTIAN’ FOREIGN POLICY…. I don’t expect much in the way of depth from House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.), but if he could explain what a “Judeo-Christian” foreign policy would look like, I’d sure appreciate it.
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told Christian Zionists that U.S. policies in the Middle East must be “firmly grounded” in Judeo-Christian principles.
“Reaching out to the Muslim world may help in creating an environment for peace in the Middle East, but we must insist as Americans that our policies be firmly grounded in the beliefs of the Judeo-Christian tradition upon which this country was founded,” said Cantor (R-Va.), the House minority whip and the only Jewish Republican in Congress, in a speech to the Christians United For Israel annual conference in Washington.
Did you like that last condescending statement? “Sure, listen, reaching out to those idiots ain’t a bad idea. They kill people with bombs on their retarded women. We do it with cluster bombs and drones. After all America was founded on a real religion.”
Oh man. You need to read digby on the christo-facists cult called “the family.” These nuts are zealous, determined and armed to the teeth.
What exactly is a Judeo-Christian foreign policy? The terms are really oxymoronic. For if you are a Christian, you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. It follows that a Christian foreign policy would instruct us to love our neighbor as ourselves and would deal heavily in reconciliation, diplomacy and humanitarianism. It is unlikely that a Christian foreign policy would require us to bomb and kill everyone we deemed a threat, which is Cantor’s foreign policy.
A “Judean” foreign policy would follow the “eye for an eye” teachings of the Old Testament, which, unfortunately, are of a vengeful God who strikes his children with floods, plagues and other disasters for their transgressions and sins.
Obviously, the two are in conflict, and thus American foreign policy would be schizophrenic, more so than it already is.
When does the adultery shoe drop on Eric Cantor?
No adultery – he’s a nice Jewish boy. He would never shame his mother that way. No, he’ll be caught eating pulled pork outside temple on a Saturday morning. That will be enough scandal to kill his mother. Oy gevalt! Such a shanda!
Is he another C-streeter?
Until he commits his life to (pretending to) follow Christ, he has to be an honorary C-Streeter.
Like one in the book of judges? W was Joshua & Iraq was Jericho.Awesome plan!
