To listen to CBN, etc. anymore, I'm not current. But I've seen some of the young evangelistas who are all against Iran and all pro-Israel still. But true, the Paulies aren't into it, they are of the Israel is the blah, blah, USS Liberty, etc. banksters, etc.

When I go back to some of the boards I used to post on but the stench of Beck, etc. got too heavy and administrators and moderators wouldn't control the abuse, they are still talking like Haggee. They seem to feel that they are Christians and Israel is an important part of their destiny.

You can put powder on a dog to get rid of fleas, but you can't get dogma out of these people. It's not just the old ones who grew up in it, but the Jesus camp generation. These people are not like anyone most of us know. Althnough I know some Democrats who have also fallen back into their dogma they were taught as children and have given up and gone looney.

These were not stupid, uneducated people, but the media told them how wrong Obama was, and they added that to some of their own life disappointments, which were by no means as tragic as others, and decided to go down the rabbit hole. You cannot get these people out of this.

Are you looking for arguments to get the fundies out of voting for Romney? I wish I could help, they wear me out.
