As this nation turns against Israel we need to get ready for the wrath of God. (Earthquakes, floods, runaway wild fires?) God is for Israel. He said as much. So who are a bunch of piddlers like Obama or his ilk to be against Israel. We need to get on the right side of this deal because no good can come of going against Israel.

If you have kids who’ll be attending college soon, research is in order.

PRIVATIZE EDUCATION NOW.

1. Religions: Create a matrix for each of the world’s religions comparing the philosophy, rules, commandments, beliefs, etc., etc. of each and what, objectively, makes rational sense? Remember, each is a belief system based on faith.

2. Stop being jealous of what others achieve, earn, fame, attitudes, etc. Unless you, personally, strive for your goals, they will not be dropped at your feet.

3. Re compassion for others – an individual’s voluntary feeling and action – and Fascism, well, Mussolini’s claim to fame per FDR’s cadre of followers was that HE MADE THE TRAINS RUN ON-TIME! Considering one’s self or one’s actions to be compassionate in today’s society is so over-blown as to be laughable…just ask yourself “what would Oprah do?”…it’s all show – no go. As for someone dying for someone else, well, no one should have to do that nor should anyone be forced to do that, but, my personal decision re my wife is that I would voluntarily do so to save her life…my choice…and, yes, there have been situations in which that choice could have been an option if other options had failed.

So, look around. When has a Jew ever directly harmed you because you were not Jewish? My last time was when I was cross-checked in front of the opposing team’s goalie. It wasn’t personal. It wasn’t because he was Jewish and I not Jewish. It was because I could have tipped-in a goal or bigger yet, because it was A JEWISH MEN’S HOCKEY LEAGUE in which I, a goyim, played.

OMG…All this chatter over an ALEPH!?!?

[Exactly my sentiment: the most mundane topics I pursue generate the most interest. That applies to publishing books too.—IM]

and we’re facing $190 Trillion + debt, an unemployment rate of 9.5% – really more like 20% +, high school graduation rates of just 55%, and a system of roads & other infrastructure that is falling-down before our eyes. Yes, it is not my direct personal responsibility, but my taxes are taken for all manner of things not wanted or not used.

Sorry I am ranting, but in both my and my wife’s industries, government, not Jews, has ground things to a standstill. So, like it is said in the LEGION: MARCH OR DIE.

Adieu. I have work to do.

It is somewhat sad that people feel a need to only hang out with like minded-members of a group [what’s wrong with hanging out with people with the same values?] but maybe they have no confidence in themselves. Or they worry that if, for example, Gay Man A marries Gay Man B, that this will mean they too will have a gay marriage.

As for who is a “real” Republican or “real” Christian or whatever – these are dubious constructs. There might be an Ilana Mercer Cult or a Myron Pauli Cult 1000 years from now with idiot “followers of the faith” proclaiming all sorts of nonsense by cherry-picking what they like and applying it in circumstances to fit their current prejudices….

For example, I do not really “know” what Thomas Jefferson would think about the TSA – all we can really say is that, in his times, he was far from a complete idiot!

If there wasn’t an aleph near the URL, I’d be disappointed. I live abroad and teach people to pronounce my Afrikaans surname phonetically… because if my surname became “whatever” I could just as well not have a surname.

Philosophically, I’d prefer to treat each and every person as an “individual”; you certainly are, and a most interesting one. But operationally/politically, it’s impossible: there’s just too much group entitlement behavior going on. And not the least among that ultimate “victim” group entitlement: organized Jewry.

@Dennis “CF…oxymoron”. No it’s not. Destructive Libs have always considered themselves “compassionate”, and recently we had a dose of Bush-style “compassionate conservatism”. So we certainly can have compassionate Fascisti; it’s all relative. I thought at first the monicker was original…probably tho it comes from the Doonesbury character: that skinny bald guy with the Chinese girl friday who is always launching megalomaniacal projects.

Even the atheist, the agnostic, and the fatalist (a form of predestination – also a product Augustine and the Reformers) are likely under its influence if they were reared in a Western culture. IMHO, it is the bane of any Gentile who succumbs to its error, whether Christian, libertarian … or Compassionate Fascist.

Jesus would not accept that either. The book, Matthew, chapter seven, states to the person who said that they cast out demons in his name. “Depart from me, I never knew you.” In other words, Jesus doesn’t condone their behavior either.
