You Can’t Have it Both Ways

Note to Bert Prelutsky: You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Either the Jews in America are

an infinitesimal minority

Or they are so powerful that

When it comes to pushing the multicultural, anti-Christian, agenda, you find Jewish judges, Jewish journalists, and the ACLU, at the forefront.

It is the ACLU, which is overwhelmingly Jewish in terms of membership and funding, that is leading the attack against Christianity in America. It is they who have conned far too many people into believing that the phrase “separation of church and state” actually exists somewhere in the Constitution.

In other words, somehow, this tiny little insignificant slice of the American population is so powerful that we’re able to virtually singlehandedly turn “Christmas” into a dirty word. How exactly is that possible? The “Vast Jewish Conspiracy” that bigots like Henry Ford wrote about? Somehow, I think not.

The utter illogic of the thing gets my blood pressure up as much as its falsity does.

Prelutsky is right about one thing though. The First Amendment says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” One could say that turning a religious holiday into a Federal one is an example of the establishment of a religion. But since I’m Jewish, I better not say that, or I might get accused of being part of a vast conspiracy.

We’ll All Hang Together

So today, Howard Dean said this:

“This is the same situation we had in Vietnam … Everybody then kept saying, ‘just another year, just stay the course, we’ll have a victory.’ Well, we didn’t have a victory, and this policy cost the lives of an additional 25,000 troops because we were too stubborn to recognize what was happening.”

In response, wingnut ex-Presidential spawn Michael Reagan said this:

Howard Dean should be arrested and hung for treason.

Reagan is way, way off the deep end here. Did he forget his Prozac today? Because if he was serious, you might as well go ahead and hang me too; I’ve been saying similar things for the last 2 years.

JewishBlogging

So, I signed up to be listed at JewishBlogging.com.

It was a bit difficult trying to figure out which category to list this blog under, as my subject matter can vary wildly depending on my mood. I ultimately chose ‘women,’ since after all, that’s what I am. Hopefully I won’t stick out like a sore thumb amidst all the frum bloggers.
