    Christian Zionism

    Susan -- I didn't say "Zionist," I said "Christian Zionist" -- an entirely different kettle of fish. If you don't much about Christian Zionism, try doing an Amazon search on the term and you will discover a flood of reputable and scholarly books on the subject. Also do a Google search on "John Hagee" and his relations with important Republicans, Democrats (including Joseph Lieberman) and neoconservatives.

    Ivins' quote does indeed express a point of view that is fully consistent with Christian Zionism. His words could have been penned by John Hagee, Pat Robertson or Mike Evans.
