Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded while in Pakistan investigating Al Qaeda. He died 11 years ago today.

Chilling.........

I loved Koch for saying that a Jew who voted for Jesse Jackson would have to have his head examined. I regret that he endorsed Obama, for reelection and recently hid behind the lame excuse that he didn’t think Obama would turn on Israel as quickly after the election as he did. Why do Jews support politicans who promise to put them in the ovens next year instead of this year?

Meshuggah.

And yet for all the good he did, Koch is a great example of what frustrates conservatives so much about “conservative” Democrats. Koch knew how important supporting Israel is and fighting terror is but he still endorsed Obama, naively hoping that Obama “learned his lesson.” He kept supporting Obama and others who he should have known were going to continue to oppose everything he held important.

“Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.”

That’s Deuteronomy 6:4.

The prayer is known as the Shema and is pronounced Sh’ma.

In Hebrew: Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad

Traditionally, Jews recite the Sh’ma in Hebrew in the morning, before bedtime, and as their last words.

Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.... My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish. I am Jewish.

Brings tears to my eyes.

He was a horrible, awful, pro-abortion liberal, but he had some redeeming qualities. He was in the front pew at Mass the week after Saint Patrick’s and Cardinal O’Connor were attacked by ActUp. I have said a Hail Mary for him. R.I.P.

When Mayor Koch was asked a question he answered it; straight, to the point and minus the annoying political spin of the typical rat politician.
