    Christian Judeo traditions? What do people who love Christ have in common with people who killed and hate Christ? At least Islam acknowledges Jesus' existence and prophecy.

    They didn't? They didn't send a traitor to turn him to the Romans and then cheer when they arrested him?

    Doing this serves no purpose whatsoever. Because when push-comes-to-shove Rand will have to choose between siding with or opposing the Israeli lobby. You honestly believe this charade will set him apart from the pack? Do you honestly believe that every single candidate from both parties won't be doing the exact same thing? They will all try to out-Israel each other. If he is the real deal, you can bet that Rand will not be receiving the support of the likes of AIPAC or the ECI. Rubio, Jeb Bush, Huckabee, or Santorum will be the pro-Israel candidate, whichever decide to run.

    And personally, I do not believe it is appropriate for a Christian to be worshipping at a man-made alter when that Temple has been replaced by the Body, made holy by the imputing of the Holy Spirit. God let that Temple be destroyed for a reason. And there's a reason He hasn't rebuilt it.

    Thats not the point.

    What I meant is that it gives him better positioning with those who would just write him off as an anti-semite like they did with Ron.

    Same with any other nations such as certain ones in Europe. The Queen of England is free to bow to Rand or anyone of us, though.

    The media will script whatever narrative they wish. That's what they did to Buchanan in '96 even though it was blatantly a lie.

    Read 'God's War On Terror' by Walid Shoebat with Joel Richardson.Israel is Jesus' land and he will actually fight for it (a one sided fight but still) and so will we if we are part of the first resurrection or are acceptable to be changed when he comes.So how can you be a Christian and not love Israel when you're a wild olive branch hoping to be grafted on to the Jewish root.

    Islam and Christianity have a lot in common, in fact, all three religions do because they are all Abrahamic. That said, no respecting Christian should be wearing a Kippah or Yamaka.

    Bows can have a lot of meanings...but height matters in very polite situations. When bowing to someone of equal status, and if you happen to be much taller than they are, you're actually supposed to bow deeper than the other party (to symbolically bring your height to their level). Obama's bow was super stiff and formal, and a little awkward and embarrasing since he tried to mix in a half handshake at the same time, which was weird, but overall it wasn't that bad and didn't mean subservience, IMO... I won't be upset if Rand does something like this one day, and I don't mind him visiting the wall, etc. I get what people mean though. Our politicans don't seem to be focused on America first.

    That pic shows what a retard Obama is, you're not suppose to bow like you're facing some Dark Age King. The bow is suppose to be slight.

    Um, that's because Christian heritage is Judaism, not the other way around.

    +rep. Just because some jackasses in the past have used the "Jews killed Christ" as a reason to hate Jews doesn't mean we have to do mental gymnastics and reinterpret scripture. Ghandi was killed by a fellow Indian. That's no reason to hate Indians, nor to people try to pretend he was killed by a member of some other group just so that folks won't be accused of being "anti-Indian". Yep the Romans finished the job and the Jewish leaders instigated it, and it was done on behalf of all, but then again Jesus said He laid down His own life. So technically He killed Himself.

    You fail to see the implications of his visit. It stops the neocon lobby as painting him as anti-Israel. While they may not be on his side, they can't be openly against him because he has gone through the motions that they demand, not without looking foolish at best and intellectually dishonest at worst. 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.

    He'll probably have to vote against confirming Hagel if he wants to avoid that term. I don't really have a problem with Hagel, but Hagel has already been labeled an "Israel Hater" by the GOP and the media.

    Are you asian? or even Japanese? How the fk would you know? I'm Asian, bowing your head is a sign of respect. Obama maybe bowed a little too low but it in no way means a sign of subservience. You act like the Japanese went around the country saying we own Obama after that bow. It's just like taking off your shoes when you go into an Asian person's house. Although I'm sure you feel you wouldn't need to do that either. Genius.
