    When I saw the headline I was thinking Berlin Wall , then I remembered I won the Cold War so I figured he left Saud and went to China which makes sense because chinese food is good . Looks like I missed it .

    That is who that wall belongs to.
    I can assume that the God of Bible is slightly more concerned with things beyond a rock formation.

    Still doesn't explain why you think AJ would not have visited it if he was in Jerusalem.
    Or why any sincere Christian or Judaist should not.

    What? No yamaka, scarf, etc.? Perhaps Hillary's giant hair-sprayed birds nest serves to remind her that God is always above her.

    Pardon my ignorance but why is this a viewed as a negative? I get not wanting to pander to Israel but what's wrong with wanting or going to visit the Western Wall?

    That was my question, and so far, nobody has answered it.

In short, Rand isn't letting anyone define him, and this is a way to do it.

    If/when the anti-Israel attacks come to Rand, it can simply be pointed out that they are untrue, just look, he met with Israeli leaders and visited the wall. Again, it effectively undermines neocon attacks against him.

    McSame looks like he is actually MADE out of the same material that was utilized in constructing the wall.

    Actually, it's a retaining wall.

    It's a phony political spectacle at the end of the day. The Israelis like to watch their pets perform for treats.

    Andrew Jackson did not have a master. That's why he would have not participated in this transparent event. Leave the religious angle out of it for a second.

    He would have done whatever pleased him, or perhaps the voting public, and the religious angle is "part and parcel" with the western wall.

    Does one need to be Jewish to believe in God?

    It's become obvious, there are a lot of people who don't know what the West Wall is.

    The unholy alliance between Zionists and Extreme Islam is both obvious and ignored.

    and is something that should be considered.

    and it mostly is not even discussed.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
