Israel is a sovereign nation, not a colonial protectorate. America has no right to boss her around.
Come on Gunny.How, by pledging to maintain foreign aid to Israel and to continue the protectorate relationship we have burdened them with?
Come on Gunny.
True or False: The Republican party tends to support/like/help/praise Israel.

Glenn is fucking a Mormon. If he were fucking a libertarian, he would be supporting Ron Paul. At best, he is a soft-light mirror that reflects positively the image of those surrounding him. As is, he is reflecting the religious-progressive big government movement. Glenn Beck is not mostly on board with any issue, not the Fed - not a single issue. You know that no other candidate will do even ONE of these:
1) balance the budget
2) end the Fed
3) restrict the US government to its constitutional powers (e.g., end the FDA, DEA, BATF, etc.)
Anybody who thinks Glenn is or ever has been close to supporting Ron Paul has been fooled. If you want Glenn's support, I recommend getting him off the wagon and fucking some hot libertarian chick. He won't change until he is in a different peer environment. But when the hot libertarian chick is gone or his peer group changes, so will Glenn. The guy has no fucking soul. As an atheist, you have to trust me on this one.
PS!: This is not about Mormons! It is about his peer group which is fundamentally STATIST. Israel is just an excuse, the statists will never run out of excuses for their behavior.
Beck is far from stupid, but he expects God to rescue us in the end, which is abit presumptuous. So this path for rescue is tied to an unquestioning support for Israel. So logically he's on-board with Ron Paul's solutions but he's scared to death of being on the wrong side of the Scripture.
You should read Mearsheimer and Walt's book too if you haven't already. Very eye-opening.Many evangelical Christians are not for indiscriminate loyalty to Israel. Indoctrination, propaganda and preaching via a few influential persons have created followers. However the magnitude and importance of the Israel issue is overblown in the msm. The reason for the press and (republican) politicians to be so staunchly Israel first has more to do with who lobby, influence and sometimes control them. Dutch documentary, 2007, 'The Israel Lobby' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N294FMDok98) includes a small interview with pastor John Hagee (Christians united for Israel). Also with colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Kenneth Roth (Human Rights Watch), Tony Judt and Richard Perle explaining how it works.
Should we pull an Amazon O'Reilly on him?
