What if we just accidentally make Israel a little cranky?

New Agenda fave Michele Bachmann on America’s “special relationship” with Israel:

I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States… [W]e have to show that we are inextricably entwined, that as a nation we have been blessed because of our relationship with Israel, and if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play.

So I guess Thomas Jefferson was full of crap when he counseled, “Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.” As Bachmann discovered during her “own private Bible time,” God will go all bunny-boiler on us if we reject Israel, so by golly, when Bibi Netanyahu speaks, you’d better listen up, Barack Obama—He (God) won’t be ignored.

Perhaps even more than her soul sistah Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann embodies everything that is wrongheaded and scary about today’s kooky GOP-teabagger blend: ignorant demagoguery, brainless jingoism and mindless wingnut McCarthyism topped off with a splash of nutty evangelical fervor.

Bachmann needs to be “weaned off” her congressional district, and though I’ve never set foot in Minnesota and most likely never will, I plan on throwing a few bucks to her opponent: this nice-seeming, non-crazy woman. Those of you who want to avoid being haunted by the vengeful ghost of Thomas Jefferson might consider doing the same.

Phew! America was lucky to survive the 172 years prior to the creation of modern-day Israel. Oh well, I’m sure neither the Almighty nor the Israelis will see through the pathetic ploy of supporting Israel in order to guarantee one’s personal salvation. Of course, the TalEvan’s road to the Pearly Gates includes the deaths of several thousand Israeli citizens but eggs/omelets don’tchaknow.

I am convinced in my heart and in my mind

Two things she doesn’t have.

The only thing Bachmann doesn’t like about Israel is that it’s full of Jews.

Fortunately, Jesus only has 144,000 reserve tickets to Heaven for them, so it’s not like there’ll be a Pawn Shop next to every Harp Store.

It’s really quite amazing that this hasn’t gotten wider attention. Could it be because there doesn’t appear to be any video available of it? I searched both YouTube and the Republican Jewish Coalition web site and couldn’t find any.
