When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint session of the U.S. Congress Tuesday, seated in the gallery will be a man designated to represent the evangelical Christian community’s support for Israel: recording legend Pat Boone.

“I expect to be sitting in a gallery position, where if my friend Bibi Netanyahu wants to … mention that evangelical Christians are among, as he knows, Israel’s most staunch supporters that number in the tens of millions in the United States, he can point to me as a representative of evangelical Christians,” Boone explained. “He is aware of it; it will be up to him whether he actually singles me out.”
Boone further clarified that House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, will be arranging for Boone to have a designated place so Netanyahu can point him out if he likes.

“Right now, whether the press wants to hear it or not, or our president either, we are worshiping the God of the Bible, and this country, we owe a lot of our DNA to [the] Jews,” Boone said.
“Truly, millions of American Christians … feel we trace our spiritual heritage from Abraham and through God’s chosen people, and we believe that the state of Israel today is God’s doing,” Boone said. “[God] promised when He brought Jews back from all over the world, they would not be driven out again, and also He said he would bless those who bless Israel – and America has blessed Israel – but the other side of that coin is that He will curse those who curse Israel.”

Pat Boone?
I thought he was dead.
Seriously, I honestly thought he had died a while back.
Maybe he should get a web-site like the one that keeps track of Abe Vigoda:
Who made him the evangelical Pope? </snark>

Phew! You guys have nothing nice to say about anybody.
BTW, C Span is broadcasting it today. Coverage begins at 10:45am.

Someone has to do it - No one else stepped up to represent the evangelicals. More power to him.
I can't pray to open our school board meetings .... PA supreme court ruled it unconstitutional and though I'D pray in spite of them ... the board is made up of woossey sycophants
I have ONE compatriot and we're starting trouble ..... he's been there 11 years and was just WAITIN' for someone like ME to come along
I didn’t say anything ugly.
It’s a tongue in cheek comment. Ya se....
Ahh, never mind.
**No one else stepped up to represent the evangelicals.**

Why all the nasty remarks against Pat? He’s a good Christian man.
