“I was speaking with my friend, Congressman Green. And he is my friend. We have differences on issues, but he is a brother, and, anyway, it is nice to have friends. I appreciated my colleague, Mr. Raskin, pointing to the violence in the Middle East. That is a tremendous problem. I am going through a new book right now by Os Guinness, ``Magna Carta of Humanity,'' and one of the points he makes early on in the book is that Christians should take note when Jews are under attack. When Israel is under attack, Christians are going to be next. And Israel should take note that when Christians are under attack, Israel is going to be next. Certainly, in my lifetime, what I have seen when the United States blesses, does things helpful to Israel, we seem to be blessed, and when we betray our ally Israel, we don't seem to be blessed. I have looked for a verse like that, that says those who betray Israel will be blessed, and I haven't found that one in the Bible. The Bible--those of us that have looked into the history of the House of Representatives and the Senate--is the most quoted book in the history of Congress in session on the Record. So it is worth looking to things like that. When I said that running for Congress years ago was a calling, a reporter asked if I heard voices, I told the reporter: ``I wish I heard voices.'' Life would be so much easier if I heard an audible voice telling me what to do.…”
