The JBS is basically "chr*stian reconstructionist," anti-Fundamentalist, anti-Israel, and a continuation of the people who thought we fought on the wrong side in WWII. They are opposed to the "war on terror" and to American "interference" in the Middle East (because they think it benefits Jews) but they had no problem with the military draft in the Sixties or "American interference" in Central America in the Eighties. It's only bad for America when "democracy" gets exported to the Middle East. And no, I am not a Wilsonian, but I do detest this hypocrisy.
Phew! That's the biggest load of Barney_Frankisms I've ever heard...
I was a member of the JBS during the Carter years. During that time (and during the Reagan years as well) the JBS was all for "American interference" in Latin America (ever hear of the Western Goals Foundation?). It seems they're only isolationists when it appears that "American interference" might benefit Jews or Israel.
I was not aware that Barney Frank was in the habit of defending Fundamentalist Protestants from their opponents.
Sorry you misunderstood my allegoric use of Barney Frank...Let me re-state and simplify my response for more clarity:
Phew! That's the biggest a big load of Barney_Frankisms B.S. I've ever heard...(This last struck section wasn't, with daylight consideration, true.)
