Christianity and the West

In 1897 Theodore  Herzl called together the World Zionist Conference and basically said, "We have been kicked out of some of the worst countries in the world and persecuted in some of the best. It's time we had our own country where every Jew is strong, independent and free. It's time to go home".

Herzl thought it would happen in the 20th century. He never imagined the tremendous cost. The, modern Israeli can stand in any spot in Israel, Judea, and Sumeria and view his history from Moses to Bebi. There may not always be agreement on why Jews belong there, but there is agreement that we belong to Israel. 

My only sympathy with the so-called Palestinians is that they have been exploited by their own people for political purposes. There is no ethnic or national group that can be defined as "Palestinians" they are Arabs from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. If they want a state let them return to those countries and leave us the hell alone. 

These people have killed, raped, and destroyed everything they touch. As an Israeli I have no reason to trust anything that say and very little that do. I may find a reason to work with them, but trust is a long way off, if ever.

Netanyahu recently announced plans to build thousands of new homes in Israel's capital. This was condemned by France, Germany, Ireland and Italy.That's funny. I can't remember Israel ever condemning these countries for building in Paris, Berlin, Dublin or Rome.

That is my position as well.



Europe will be in flames soon enough because of their insane policies towards Islam. Screw them. England was right to pull back from the confederation of idiots.

Brad,

as the self-appointed Grand Pobah of all things Hebraic I grant you the authority to say Oy Vey on any occasion that strikes your fancy. However, it may get you talked about at a Latin Mass. 

I think we’ve reached the part of the journey where talking about “social controls” (counter-measures) is like talking about “leak-plugging” on the Titanic.

What we’re getting is minute social control from the Left. This is not something consistent with conservative doctrine. If controls are needed (and they are…plenty of them) it is to ensure that this kind of stuff doesn’t become normal. A car going down the road without brakes is going to eventually go off the side of the road and over the cliff.

But I’m not in the mood for splitting hairs when we’re taking on tons of water every second.


Libertarians are not only not in the game of preserving our freedoms but they are adding to the piles (metaphor change again) of insanity. They shovel on the open borders, prostitution, gay marriage, legalized drugs, and other liberal things that are central to the Left’s Zeitgeist of dashing apart our society like a recreational sport and then wonder why their freedoms are being diminished.

I really wish I knew some dogmatic conservatives, Mr. Kung, the kind who would protest at a school board meeting about indoctrinating kids with stories about drag queens. Or who even demand that children learn to spell before learning about the supposed dire threat of “climate change.”

But there are “dogmatic conservatives” who (if we assume “dogmatic” is a derogatory term) are as closed-minded and eternally pissed off at the world just as there are “dogmatic libertarians” who are eternally goofy and stoned in the world. And I have met some truly screwball specimens of both species.

However, the worst that “dogmatic conservatives” tend to want is prayer in schools….which I think would be a great idea. Pray to “God”. It needn’t be praying to Jesus.

Judaism is a wreck. Look at two prominent Jews (Sanders and Bloomberg). Similar wrecks (if not worse wrecks) can be found among pseudo-Catholics such as Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. I’m sure the list of wrecked Protestants is just as long, if not longer.

But I’ve not come here to praise Caesar, but to bury him. We can bicker and argue over who killed who but it’s not going to change where we are now. There was a recent article linked from Drudge that said something like 90% of people were afraid to have an opinion (the wrong sort of opinion) because they might loose their job.

Libertarians must first and foremost admit that “dogmatic conservatives” are not at the root of this. This is the Left. This is the slippery-slope that “liberalism” of all types has brought upon us. How hard does anyone think it was for the progression from “tolerate” to “demand”? People were warning about this aspect decades ago. But it was just “party on, Garth” for most. The gatekeepers (those horrible “dogmatic conservatives”) unfortunately not only went away but joined in the “tolerance” that has now led to demanded-acceptance.

Someone has to say “no” to a lot of bad and intolerant ideas, even if they are dressed up as something else. And a large part of the problem is the Dr. Spock aspect that is so embedded in our thinking. The stern parent is out. The loosey-goosey good-time-rock-and-roll parent is in. You can’t say “no” to much of anything with the latter. And what Libertarianism tries to do is dress up this failure as something worthy when what they should notice is the failure of any type of “dogmatic” Vitamin N (“no”) that is so desperately needed in all aspects of our culture.

No to the excesses. No to destructive impulses dressed up as “liberty” or “equality” (such as open borders). And if someone can figure out a formula whereby “tolerance” doesn’t lead to the oppression by the most wacko outliers, I’m all ears.

Dr. Goebbels knew his business. Do you think maybe those in charge of our education system, popular media and other major institutions are admirers of him and his methods?
