I recently heard almost a word-for-word recapitulation of Hagee's experience by Michele Bachmann, as she described her transformation.
I believe that Sarah Palin also spoke in transformational terms in regard to experiencing the Israeli state. One wonders if Israeli intelligence might be working a kosher MK-ULTRA program, as they experiment on how to co-op Protestants into litter-carrying servants.
The whole Tea Party Movement appears to be led by Protestants of this sort. They have all gone to Jerusalem to seek anointing from the Israeli leadership.
In the old days of America there were "America Firsters." The Tea Party crowd has introduced the modern "Israel Firsters." Nuking Iran is high on their agenda.
Sarah Palin was reported by one small news outlet to have worn on her lapel while governor of Alaska (and possibly prior to that) an Israeli national flag. One can be excused if s/he gets the crazy idea and wonders outloud if Palin and Bachmann might not be partially derived from "wandering Jews." Their attractiveness to Senators McCain and Lieberman certainly is not founded on their wearing American flag lapel pins.
After graduating from high school, Michele Bachmann felt the urge to go to live and work in a kibbutz in the Israeli state. Whether she gunned down any Palestinians is not known to me, but I don't think that that would have been a problem for her. It would be an unusual choice for a non-Jew, as such youth could have travelled to Cuba and cut sugar cane for Fidel, experiencing the communal life closer to home. Who knows? They might get to meet Ted Turner there.
The Protestantism generally associated with this sort of religious fervor is Dispensationism wedded to bizarre veneration of Jews based on unfounded interpretations of the Abrahamic covenant. Oddly, this group of "Christians" freely denounces "religious extremists."
I recall seeing a video presentation from a priest named John O'Connor, who stated that he could not wait to get out of the Israeli state because "everyone has guns."
It seemed that Isaac's son, Esau, was a hunter, and his seed has kept up the family tradition.
