NOT going to happen. Anyone,including YOU that puts Israel or any other nation ahead of America that is an American citizen is a traitor to America. Deal with it.
BTW,while you are at it,you should change your screen name name to Israeli Cowboy to reflect your true nationality.

Well
@sneakypete I'm disappointed. I was hoping we could come to a level of mutual respect. You are welcome to hold your beliefs, but you have no right to label those whose beliefs are consistent with the founding fathers as traitors. I call on you to retract your accusation against myself and @Mecanicos
A few words in my defense. It is the Bible that has taught me to be a Patriot; to be committed to my family and my country. My life verse is right there by my username and its equivalent in the cowboy code: “Ride for the brand,” and my brand is American you need not worry about that. God is not the God of the Jews alone and he does not dwell in Jerusalem yet. He dwells in my heart, I need not move anywhere to find Him.
You accuse me of not having a Patriotism that is separate from my faith. This is like accusing a fish of not breathing air, or accusing me of having a morality not shaped by my faith. To me it is an unknown concept; I have tried to let the Bible shape my life, that's what being a follower of Christ means.
This is not the forum for apologetics, though I'd be happy to PM you some info if you are truly interested. The founding father's started the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. They considered God's existence and the rights he gave mankind a self-evident truth. The government they shaped honored that truth. For that they too were called Traitors; accused of putting their beliefs in that higher truth above their service to King George. American Patriotism is faithfulness to the people, the Republic, and the ideals that have allowed us to be free. The founders had to no blind loyalty to a government and neither do I. In America the Patriot is the one who can stand up and hold the government accountable for betraying our founding principles.
There is room in this country to worship God (or not) as you please, but bear in mind the founders and many great American's were men also men of Faith and I will not be ashamed to let God's word shape my belief's as they did.
"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor." -George Washington.
"The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts." -John Jay
"A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education." -Theodore Roosevelt.
"Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face." - Ronald Reagan
"Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power... Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nation and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry
So I call on you, once again, to retract your statement. Or, if this be treason, make the most of it.
