John Hagee and Israel
I have not as yet been able to confirm this but I have heard that John Hagee has endorsed (or stated he could endorse, it’s not clear) Rudy Giuliani for president.
Now there is a clear display of what an unbalanced and unbiblical eschatology will bring you. Rudy’s pro-Israel position is apparently sufficient (for Hagee) to overcome his other moral failures. Apparently it no longer matters to John that Rudy is an adulterous pro-abortion, cross dressing candidate who has married his own cousin. As long as he supports Israel, that’s enough for him.
Then you have Dobson, who I really don’t know what he wants. He has openly rejected Thompson now (and by implication, Ron Paul as well) because he’s a federalist. Apparently, if you’re unwilling to use the sword of government in an inquisition against all those who disagree with the morals of the AFA you’re not worthy in his book. Even if you ARE willing generally, but for the sake of the election are spouting federalist noises you’re not worthy in his book. He has likewise (rightly) rejected Rudy, and apparently McCain too. Which leaves…Romney. Or maybe Brownback or Huckabee.
(One last thing, Dobson’s argument that states dealing with the marriage issue would result in 50 different definitions of marriage is just ludicrous. Honestly, can the man really come up with 50 substantively different definitions of marriage? Further, as I’m sure you’d guess from my recent post on this topic, I can’t reconcile the idea that a Christian should somehow bow to the state in order to get married. That’s just absurd.)
