Reason not to believe the Protestant right (power overrated) when they say they’re strict constitutionalists and apostles of austerity. “I love giving money to Israel,” warbled a moist-eyed Rep. Dan Webster (R-Florida) during a recent interview on “Good Life 45,” a religious program broadcast in his district. Webster, who is paid a very handsome salary, is free to give as much money to Israel as he chooses. As a former pastor, Webster could take up a collection among like-minded people for the same purpose. What he cannot do is point a gun at others, steal their money, and lavish that plundered wealth on somebody else. ... Of course, America was not supposed to have long-term alliances with any foreign government.
