gay rights

Gays, like anyone else, have the right to practice any kind of sex they want, so long as they don't break the law. Getting married is not included.

Hillary rolls on

Hillary and Bill have no choice. Never having had a real job they live off the public trough and have gotten wealthy doing it, while leading this country down the primrose path. They cannot imagine life without a campaign. The best thing we can do for this country and for the Clintons is to retire them.

gay sex

Gay sex is not illegal anywhere in this country. Sodomy laws have been removed.

Pastor Hagee and Pastor Parsley

These two redneck preachers deserve the scorn they get, yet they also have a point. Many years ago a find religious historian, Richard Rubenstein, wrote in his book AFTER AUSCHWITZ that the God of the bible in whom Jews and Christians say they believe is a God who moves through and with history. The idea that God chose Hitler for a purpose is totally within the realm of biblical belief, He also chose Pharaoh and Haman and other evil people. Rubenstein held that such a God is a horror and he would not worship him. But this is the biblical God and Hagee is not totally out of line in claiming Hitler came for a purpose. There are orthodox Jews who also believe that Hitler was God's punishment for secularism among Jews.

Parsley thinks Islam is evil. Christians early on understood that Islam was a branch of the Judaeo-Christian faith which called into question Christian dogma and they therefore regarded it as less a new religion than an ancient heresy revived. Since Islam did inherit the Ebionite view of Jesus, which incidentally is truer than the Gospel view of Jesus, Islam is an affront to Christianity.

Thus, as crazy as Hagee and Parsley seem, they are in line with Christianity -- which in its own right is pretty crazy, since it preaches an unreal Jesus and all that follows from St. Paul disordered imagination.

The reason Joe Lieberman is no obnoxious is the same reason Falwell and Robertson are obnoxious: too much religion.

racism?

Face it! Many whites shudder at the sight of Michelle Obama with her big black bare feet on the white house carpet. Is this racism? You had better believe it.

white racism

The chief reason for anti-black racism is the knowledge that blacks lack a Super Ego. They cannot postpone pleasure now for future rewards. This explains their poverty, vice and crime. Obama has a Super Ego: hence he is not a true black. But he looks like one, as does his wife who also has a pretty strong Super Ego.

Super Egos

I know I will get into trouble for claiming blacks are without super egos but here is the proof: why are whites afraid of blacks? Because they do not think like us: at any moment their desire for gratification could mean our extermination.

whites vs. Obama

Will white racism hurt Obama? Ask Pat Buchanan. He has become the chief MSNBC political analyst despite his evident racism, anti-semitism, anti-Americanism. He is a true Fascist because he is a true integrist traditional Catholic. Integral Catholicism was the antechamber to integral nationalism in Europe which in turn was the forerunner of Fascism. Ask MSNBC why they push Buchanan on us?

prices

The price of everything will continue to rise because there are too many Chinese and Indians. We need to send those people back to the good old says when they starved most of the time and we had enough at low prices. More earthquakes and other natural disasters help but only a little bit. We may have to take direct action.

deportation of Finkelstein

Not satisfied with persecuting Palestinians the Likud government of Israel (which represents the Fascist wing of Zionism) is now attacking Jews who defend decency and honor. Once before the Jews destroyed their state (70AD) through their internecine murderousness. It could happen again.

the kennedys and clintons

At least the Kennedys have shown progress, from fascist-minded anti-semitic Joseph Kennedy to the younger generation represented by Carolyn and her cousins. The Clintons have shown no progress: they started out as ambitious rednecks and continue to this hour.

rescuing Jews

So many Frenchmen were in the Resistance that there is no explanation for the vast popularity of Petain. So many American troops liberated death camps that the Russians must have been drunk on vodka at the time. So many Catholics rescued Jews in Poland, Croatia, and other Catholic lands that the death toll of Jews must have been minus 6 million.

youth vote

Youth will not turn out to vote. They are too self-indulgent, too poorly educated, too focused on their pleasure and needs.

satire

Humor often works better than facts. People don't like to be found wanting in information and understanding but they do fear ridicule. Satire does work.

I'd like to suggest that Fr. Pfleger excorcize Ms. Ferraro. She could use it.

finding a new church

Why bother? Most clergy are the blind leading the blind. There is no historical or rational justificatin for the Christian religion.

mccain and the neocons

There are too many neoconservative Jews in the McCain entourage already.

Monday, June 2, 2008 07:55 AM

neocon jews

The presence of neocon Jews is disturbing because it indicates that Pres. McCain will do nothing to weaken the Likudnik straglehold over our middle eastern policy. These neocons Jews want war with Iran and McCain might well give them what they want.

Monday, June 2, 2008 08:02 AM

again, neocon Jews

Neocon Jews are probably more fanatical than neocon non-Jews, it's as simple at that. Scratch a neocon Jew and you find a real fanatic.

neocons, jews, non=jews, non-neocons, nons

Common'guys, stop with this Jewish defensiveness! It ill suits you.
