Logic -- and the Law of Averages -- says otherwise."<br /><br />My response: Ditto. Historical insight or perspective: ZERO.<br /><br />YOU: "<b>Why have the JEWS -- and according <i>them</i>, ONLY the Jews -- been singled out more than ANY OTHER PEOPLE -- for this kind of rough treatment?</b> It stands to reason that it MUST have SOMETHING to do with the way THEY tend to act."<br /><br />My response: Most Jewish historians believe the Jewish historical experience is a chequered one, as is inevitable for a people scattered to the four corners of the world. Periods of intense persecution and banishment alternated with periods and pockets of great prosperity and occasional roles as oppressors.<br /><br />YOU: "That is certainly true of The Chosen -- and to a certain extent the Irish -- but of all the immigrant groups who arrived on our shores in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ALL of which were given -- and <i>GAVE EACH OTHER</i> -- a hard time virtually ALL assimilated and became full-fledged Americans within a generation or two. But the JEWS have chosen very deliberately, I think, to remain SINGULAR -- APART -- IN-but-never-OF the mainstream."<br /><br />My response: Assimilation of Jews worldwide rivals that of most other minority groups, some elements with standing assimilation nonetheless. Does assimilation means all being the same?<br /><br />And I thought you said that they were over represented in Hollywood, Academia, public service and so on?<br /><br />YOU: "The Jewish Rejection of the THEIR Messiah and OUR Lord and Savior MUST be the reason their entire existence has been beset by woe ever since. No one could deliberately set himself against GOD and expect to win anything but trouble, heartache, misery, grief and perpetual dissatisfaction with life."<br /><br />My response: So reductionist I won't even begin refuting it. Jews often suffered at the hands of atheists too. No amount of embracing the 'Lord and Saviour' would have changed that.<br /><br />FreeThinke? More UnThinke, I think. Ahistorical tosh, petty theorettes that border on Tourettes. Free of Reason, perhaps...<br /><br />And there's more of the same on his Jon Stewart thread, another 'chosen one', don't you know?<br />Gerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07752117708821629614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-32869323368408290872016-07-11T13:24:18.456-04:002016-07-11T13:24:18.456-04:00Stinker is a terrible liar, obnoxious racist and C...Stinker is a terrible liar, obnoxious racist and Classic Anti-Semite(TM) to boot.<br /><br />Here’s a re-run of a comment I made at Farmer John’s blog sometime ago, based on quotes from FreeStinke writing (on FT’s blog) and my responses to them. ‘YOU’ refers to what Stinker wrote, ‘My response’ to what I wrote in response to Stinker’s filth.<br />---<br />YOU: "Certainly the Jews, themselves, -- or rather we would say a highly vocal element among them who have a made a virtual <i>profession</i> of touting, defending and promoting their Jewishness as such -- against real or imagined evidence of "anti-Semitism" by ceaselessly casting aspersions at gentiles and others not of the Jews' singular, self-styled brand of humanity -- have spared Shakespeare and many many others no end of vilification in their ceaseless attempt to promote what-may-be called for-want-of-a-better-term The Jewish Agenda."<br /><br />My response: The Jewish Agenda. Strong echos of The protocols of the Elders of Zion.<br /><br />YOU: "I have a HUGE problem with Christian Fundamentalists who pride themselves on being "Bible-Believing," while openly scorning what-they-call "New Testament Christians." They fanatically support the establishment of Modern Day Israel, which has functioned primarily as a THORN in the SIDE of the Entire World since its inception."<br /><br />My response: A thorn in the side of the entire world? Blimey, just about any Western Nation supports Israel, as so many Arab nations.<br /><br />YOU: "<b>Somewhere, somehow, someone MUST some day provide a rational explanation of why, despite their being highly intelligent people capable of impressive achievements, the Jews have functioned throughout history as a MAGNET for dislike, distrust, contempt, out-and-out hatred, rejection and persecution.</b>"<br /><br />My response: They've only got themselves to blame, i.o.w.<br /><br />Continued below.<br />Gerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07752117708821629614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-16735272420334799682016-07-11T12:50:13.458-04:002016-07-11T12:50:13.458-04:00Good for you, Oct.

I have become a true cynic however and no longer believe it possible.

A motorcycle gang encircled a local mosque in Fort Pierce in an attempt to menace the congregation. A Muslim man was beaten in the parking lot on Saturday. Tonight I will attend an Interfaith outreach meeting organized by Christian, Humanist, Jewish, and Muslim leaders in the area. <br /><br />When I checked the links cited in your post, I was shocked. “Disgust” doesn’t even begin to describe the evil those people are trying to unleash. They are truly brown shirts in every respect.<br /><br />I noticed Jersey McJones has severed all contact with them. This is the right decision, the only moral decision possible. I will not link or comment anymore about these people. I don’t want to bring attention to them or advertise them in any way. Way too dangerous.<br /><br />And frankly, I am now fearing the worst possible outcome … which is why I will be scarce for awhile. More community outreach, more op-eds in the newspaper, doing everything I can to put out this ugly fire. <br />(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-7524276282779956592016-07-10T12:24:26.350-04:002016-07-10T12:24:26.350-04:00Indeed Shaw.

Those images were meant to stir up the worst possible fears white people have of the black community. He loves to present himself as some high-minded, intelligent, thoughtful blogger when in fact that blog post and the ones you've linked to show him to be no better than those one sees on white supremacist blogs where anti-Semitic, anti-black, and anything that isn't white is slandered and demonized.<br /><br />He and his ilk (white supremacists) are not the solution to our problems; he's the sort that stokes the haters into a wild frenzy and who make our problems far, far worse with those incendiary images.<br /><br />The world does not look kindly on people who fan the flames of hatred and resentment. He and his friends apparently don't believe in the Savior they so hypocritically praise every Sunday and who said "Blessed are the peacemakers."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.com
