Are Christian conservatives about to figure out that the current Netanyahu-run government does not actually like them?

HR 6090 bill would officially define "Antisemitism" so the federal government can sue, prosecute, or sanction more people, businesses, and universities for supposed violations of civil rights law.  --Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk explains

In response to campus anti-Israel protests, the House is rushing to to vote on a new bill, HR 6090. This new bill would officially define "Antisemitism" so the federal government can sue, prosecute, or sanction more people, businesses, and universities for supposed violations of civil rights law. 
This bill would make it illegal to compare Israeli policies to Nazi policies. It would make it illegal to describe Israel as racist. It would make it illegal to accuse an American citizen of being more loyal to Israel than to the United States.

But I stand with @RepThomasMassie: This bill is an affront to the Constitution and must not pass.

Where do you think all of the anti-Christian hate in the U.S. and around the world comes from?  It's not the Muslim world.  Nor is it the Arab world.  

When I worked at UPS in the 1980s, I delivered to retail businesses on Wilshire between San Vicente and Fairfax.  In the afternoon on my route for pick-ups in the area, there were often bomb threats with a couple dozen employees standing on the sidewalk milling about.  This was not rare.  It seemed almost weekly to me that at one building or another just east of San Vicente a bomb threat had been declared as evidenced by the crowds on the sidewalk having recently emptied the building.  The Jewish Federation of Los Angeles was located on the north side of Wilshire, and I used to pick up from their office there.  It was on the 3rd, 4th or 6th floor.  Can't recall.  But their office had a woman stationed behind bulletproof glass.  I didn't tap on it to check; it could have been plexiglass for all I knew.  And the sight of it alarmed me to dangers that I certainly was not alert to.  But no bomb was ever detonated.  No one was ever harmed.  Traffic was inconvenienced.  Commerce came to a crawl for about 30 minutes before everybody was ordered to return to their offices.  In retrospect, was the bulletproof glass necessary?  I don't know.  I never heard of anyone going into their offices to shoot up the joint.  Were the bomb threats real?  Who knows?  The frequency of them seemed almost to send a message that the Jewish people were the persecuted tribe of Israel?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Maybe it's just the reverse.  Maybe.

Ronald Reagan signed the death warrant of the GOP when he signed the Immigration R.A.C. Act of 1986

Immigration R.A.C. Act of 1986.  Immigration Reform and Control Act.  

Reform?  I guess.  

Control?  Define control.  

Here is Reagan's love letter to Mexico and immigrants.  Come one and all and your government will look the other way.  To citizens, it says "This government doesn't give a rat's ass about your citizenship.  We will take every dollar from you until you are broke and don't even think about retiring because we've already looted social security.  There will be nothing left in it for you by the time you retire.  Oh, and BTW, you'll be paying for even more welfare programs that we haven't said a word about yet.  It's lipstick on the welfare state. 

"The torch of Lady Liberty symbolizes our freedom and represents our heritage, the compact with our parents, our grandparents, and our ancestors.  It is that Lady that gives us our great and special place in the world, for it's the great life force of each generation of new  Americans that guarantees America's triumph shall continue unsurpassed into the next century and beyond.  Other countries may seek to compete with us but in one vital area as a beacon of freedom and opportunity that draws the people of the world, no country on earth comes close.  This I believe is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.  We lead the world because unique among nations we draw our people our strength from every country and every corner of the world.  By doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation while other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams, we create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow.  Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we're a nation forever young forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier.  This quality is vital to our future as a nation.  If we ever close the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost."
