I will be attending Easter services at one of the 'Jew loving' and fundie Southern Baptist Convention's affiliate churches tomorrow. The SBC is the largest Protestant denomination in the country and pretty much dominates the Bible belt.

When you talk about 'Jew loving' Protestants it is pretty much the SBC and the Pentecostal founded TBN types. Those are the two main centers of Christian Zionism I'd say.

John Hagee is or has been affiliated with the latter and last I looked his pro-Israel group had 7 million members.

Hagee has been politically active. In 1968, he endorsed Democrat George Wallace in his bid for president. His advocacy included organizing and mobilizing a youth movement called "Wallace Youth".

Fascinating. Not too surprising for a Texan born in 1940 though.
