What an excellent way to describe it.
Absolutely. It's all a part of that cosmic good vs. evil thing going on. For even though this nation has slipped a long way from its Christian roots, in the eyes of the world it's them vs. anything they perceive as being representative of the Judeo-Christian system. IOW, Israel and the U.S. In a way, all this is not surprising—in another way, it's stunning just how quickly this vitriolic hatred is growing and revealing itself more by the day.
