I will take Rick Perry’s stand on Israel any day over the wedge Obama has tried to insert between America and Israel.
Governor Rick Perry upon his trip to Israel in 2009

(Excerpt)
Gov. Perry went on to describe his support for Israel from a religious point of view, saying, “I’m a big believer that this country was given to the people of Israel a long time ago, by God, and that’s ordained.”

It’s my understanding that Rick has long been a staunch defender of Israel, so I’m not at all surprised by this. Some may try to call it pandering. I don’t see it that way. In this instance I think his faith guides him.
I believe Rick is using his place in history to influence events. He’s on the side of what’s just, and it may be that he can make a difference. He stands with the Chosen Ones.
