(If you are on an aggregator CLICK HERE to view the above video ) At about 2:21 - Rock NAILS IT! ~~~~~~~~~~~ Obama to Jews: I'm Just Not That Into You By Stuart Schwartz American Jews and Israel would do well to take a page from the book of Saul Alinsky, who provides the radical underpinning for much of how the Obama left sees the world: "As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be." It is time for American Jews to leave the Democratic Party, to see reality as it is and not how they wish it to be. To be a Jew in this world is dangerous ...and our president and his party are deliberately making it more so (even serial Obama apologist Susan Estrich is "not completely certain...where this president will stand in a crisis" involving Jews). A leading reform rabbi (for whose community Obama "represents the golden harvest," as a senior executive of the Union for Reform Judaism put it) has just issued a clarion call ...

Jewish settler leaders on Tuesday shrugged off President Barack Obama's call for Israel to halt settlement building in the occupied West Bank, saying Palestinians needed to "halt terror first." Dani Dayan, chairman of the West Bank settlers' umbrella organization Yesha Council, said he felt assured that domestic political support would allow settlers to continue to live in the occupied West Bank. "The Israeli electorate set a clear line for this government ... we have strong support in the new Knesset (parliament) and the things we hear among politicians certainly encourage us that if Netanyahu (halts settlement building) the Knesset will stand at our side," Dayan told Reuters. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Obama for talks at the White House on Monday and the U.S. president afterwards reminded Israel of its commitment under a 2003 U.S.-backed peace "road map" to stop settlement building in the occupied West Bank. "Obama's w...

Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamofascists, The Religious Right, The Obama Administration or that person who harasses or harangues you offline or on. Bullies follow a pattern. A pattern that is a form of a personality disorder, of which the worst form is sociopathy. Sociopaths have no guilt, no shame, no empathy, nothing. They will stick by their closest friends and family (they have to because they need sycophants to bail them out all the time) and have no compassion for those they hurt. They only play-act as if they have human emotions (learned by watching others) because they can't feel. They don't have an anger problem - their problem is with YOUR anger. Heaven forbid you should be hurt or angry. If a sociopath raped someone, he'd be mad that she sought medical and legal attention. If a sociopath stole something, she'd be angry you called the police or even had the temerity to ask for your things back. If a sociopath hit you with their car, they'd be angry you rep...

I got my undergrad degree in English Literature. That included a heck of a lot of writing of long essays and reading some really dry books. I did my senior thesis on Herman Melville. Yeah, I like to do things the hard way. When I first moved to New York 29 years ago I did a lot of reading on the subway. I spent most Friday nights either at The Strand downtown or Coliseum Books ( which used to be at 57th & Broadway) . There were regulars there, we didn't even know each other's names but we did know what certain people liked to read. One night a nice, older man came up to me in the Philosophy section at Coliseum and said - "Ayn Rand. The section's over there. ( pointing ) You need to read her." So I sidled on over. First one I grabbed was Atlas Shrugged . I was transfixed. I tore through the book, written the year I was born, with vigor. While heading to an evening gig I was reading it on the subway and a man leaned forward across the aisle and said ...

A DEADLY MIX I was privileged to read Constantine's Sword about 5 years ago and I highly recommend it!! It's now a movie and I hope to get to see it. For those of us who love history, politics and insightful writing - it's a must. American Exceptionalism Meets Team Jesus: Interview with James Carroll By Tom Engelhardt He's a man who knows something about the dangers of mixing religious fervor, war, and the crusading spirit, a subject he dealt with eloquently in his book Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews . A former Catholic priest turned antiwar activist in the Vietnam era, James Carroll also wrote a moving memoir about his relationship to his father, the founding director of the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency. Carroll essentially grew up in that five-sided monument to American imperial power. For him, as a boy, the Pentagon was "the largest playhouse in the world" and he can still remember sliding down its ramps in his stocking fe...

WHO INVITED HIM? Gotta hand it to Columbia University. First it was an Islamofascist Professor. Now they invite this piece of walking, talking excrement to my city. FEH!! THIS is how we fight terror? Did you figure, it's already here so let's bring its poster boy here too to spew more poison into the minds of the students at Columbia. I've been at parties where there's an uninvited guest. But this one was INVITED. So tell me Columbia - which BRAINIAC at your esteemed institution thought this would be a GOOD IDEA? HUH? The LasT StraW: Ahmin-theMood-forJihad in N.Y.

SIX DEGREES OF BAAL HASULAM Ever played "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" or Shmuley Boteach or Hillary Clinton or well... your choice! In the game you are supposed to connect the main person to even the lowliest creature on Earth through vague pop-references and insignificant moments. The players look for connection & meaning that isn't there in every little thing. In reality, sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar. I only believe what I have seen and experienced for myself. What the bottom line of my experience and searching has presented me with. And fortunately for me, some of what I have experienced is somewhat unexplicable to others. So I am always looking for the deeper connections. When I read enough, I invariably find them.
