For thousands of years, the Jew has served the world as its most popular scapegoat. If crops failed, a battle was lost or an economy tanked, tyrants would invariably blame it on the Jews. Adolf Hitler wasn’t the first and he hasn’t been the last. Throughout the Middle East, whatever troubles beset an Arab or Muslim nation, you can bet that the resident kingpins are blaming it on Israel.
But in more recent years, the United States has become a target. When the economy bottomed out under Venezuela, Hugo Chavez blamed the U.S. When Iran has trouble building a nuclear bomb or Syria’s al-Assad has a problem defeating the rebels, they blame us and the Israelis. When the world speaks out against Putin’s attempts to restore the Soviet Empire and the Russian economy finds itself in the toilet, he blames America.
Actually, being blamed by despots for being at the root of their problems is a badge of honor. Our problem is that instead of being led by Moses, as was the case with the Jews, we’ve chosen to saddle ourselves with a leader who far more closely resembles King Herod.
Before people tried to watch Barack Obama deal with Vladimir Putin, they should have been warned – especially children and the faint of heart – that it could be traumatic. I mean, if this administration wasn’t prepared to defend Crimea, we should at least have had weapons on their way to the Ukrainians and those promised missile defense systems on their way to Poland and the Czech Republic the day after the Russkies crossed the border. At the same time, we should have announced that we were reversing our present course and increasing the size of our military, contrary to Obama and Hagel’s earlier plan to gut it.
Because programs generally need a slogan to sell them to the voters, I would have suggested “Billions for Defense, Bubkas for Food Stamps.”
If I didn’t despise Obama for all the things he’s done to America in his attempt to radically transform it, I might feel sorry for him. After all, this is a guy who has coasted through life like a traveling salesman, relying on a smile and a spiel. Suddenly, he has come face to face with the reality that you can’t keep the peace by calling for time-outs with people like Putin and the Ayatollah Khomeini the way you can with Sasha and Malia. Affirmative Action, he has finally discovered, can only carry you so far.
Speaking of frustrating activities, is there anything more pointless than two guys arguing over the existence of God? It seems to me that people should be free to believe or not to believe, as they see fit. Believing in God doesn’t make people good, just as doubting His existence doesn’t make them bad. Among the more prominent atheists, you will find Katherine Hepburn, Jawaharlal Nehru, Marlene Dietrich, Randy Newman, Mark Twain, John Malkovich and Penn & Teller. Among the more prominent believers, you will find Osama bin Laden and a great many Mafia dons.
Aside from Islam, which I regard as an evil cult, I personally prefer those who believe in something greater than themselves to those like Obama, Hugh Hefner and Bill Maher, who appear convinced there could be nothing greater.
The people I don’t get are those like Englishmen Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens, who seem or seemed totally preoccupied with proving the non-existence of God, and, of course, those folks who paid good money to sit and listen to them debate believers. Frankly, I would rather watch a soccer game than watch two people trying to prove or disprove the unprovable. If ever there was a case for live-and-let-live, I would think this would be it.
Speaking of things English, teachers over there are being encouraged to grade papers using green ink instead of red. England’s educational nannies, who are obviously trying to match our own, inanity for inanity, regard red as too harsh, even though English students apparently prefer red because it’s easier to read.
Still, assuming the nannies aren’t entirely daft, they may have a point. So when I insist that Obama is the vilest disaster to ever befall America, I want him and the IRS to know that I mean it in the nicest green way imaginable.
My friend Bernie Goldberg recently wrote an article in which he questioned whether Obama is delusional or merely political. Personally, I think he’s both. On the one hand, he is clearly a partisan creature who is willing to lie, cheat and wipe his shoes with the Constitution, in order to promote his agenda.
At the same time, he seems to ignore the polls and even the desertion of House and Senate Democrats, who have finally awakened to the fact that blindly following his lead was turning them into lemmings who would inevitably topple over the edge of the electoral cliff.
But, ask yourself: why wouldn’t he be delusional? Here’s a middle-aged man who, as a young boy, was abandoned by his father, his step-father and, ultimately, by his nutburger of a mother, who dumped him on his aging white commie grandparents.
With that background, it’s no surprise that he wound up so loony that he actually believed his election would mark the lowering of the ocean and the healing of the planet.
The biggest surprise is that, with such a torturous upbringing, he didn’t wind up a serial killer.
On the other hand, if he had, he would only have had a handful of victims, and not an entire nation, and by now would probably be in jail, not the White House.
Simple, pull all foreign aid to those who biych against us.
I agree - quit sponsoring the hate America, hate Israel nations, don’t allow immigration from these countries, and toss out all of the illegals you are already hosting.
Not only is America the world’s new Jew, the conservative factions residing in the territory once known as “the United States of America” have become the “new Jews” within that tormented land.
Persons representing formerly persecuted minorities themselves have jumped on the bandwagon of pointing and shouting down all things conservative and traditional with that concept and idea known in the abstract as “America”. In a travesty of failed critical thinking, all the ills that had ever been visited upon those formerly persecuted minorities now have been transformed into the imagined behavior of the Republican party at large, and the T.E.A. party conservatives in particular.
This is an enormous study in transference and projection, an example of psychopathology resulting in the destruction of logical process and a reversal of practically every rule of civilized behavior that has evolved down over the centuries.
They have cast aspersions upon our asparagus.
Ethnocentric, much?
(Mr. Prelutsky, that is, not SJackson)
There have been lots of scapegoats over the millennia, and lots of people who never even heard of the Jews.
(And yes I know the essay is primarily about the US)
No matter how much it fits, I refuse to stoop to the libtards “victim-mentality”. The world can make all the names and labels on us they want, we will kick their butts any day of the week and still have time for breakfast at Cracker Barrel.
> The biggest surprise is that, with such a torturous upbringing, he didn’t wind up a serial killer.
I wouldn’t say he hasn’t. Look at the long list of his enemies, whistlelowers, and gay lovers that are dead from heart attacks, automobile accidents, and plane crashes. I’d say he is a serial killer by proxy using SS agents to do the task.
“the Jew has served the world as its **most popular** scapegoat”
He said most popular,, not only. He has a very defensible position. The Jews have been dumped on that way across 20 centuries and 4 continents I can think of offhand. Cant think of anyone else who even comes close,,,
bkmk
But in more recent years these last days, the United States has become a target.
America - home to the largest % of Jews living in the Diaspora
America - the United States i.e. an alliance/covenant of lands (thus named in Hebrew - artzot habrit - lands of the covenant)
Israel (the little nation in the Middle East) = the modern nation-state representing the House of Judah
America = the modern nation-state representing the House of Israel (Joseph, Ephraim), even the whole house, what with her Jewish population.
Sarah is the free woman, the mother of the free.
Obama is the profane wicked evil prince of Israel, usurping the position of "leader of the free world"
Ezekiel 21:30-32 (25-27)
30. And you, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, when iniquity shall have an end:
31. Thus says the Lord God; Remove the turban, and take off the crown; things shall not be the same; exalt him who is low, and abase him who is high:
32. A ruin, a ruin, a ruin will I make it; and it shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him:
Check the Hebrew for verse 30 (25 in the KJV)... it starts off as saying,
And you, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose is B.O...
The biggest surprise is that, with such a torturous upbringing, he didn’t wind up a serial killer.
?!! The serial killer's MO is called Obamacare. Think of it as a broad spectrum homocide er herbicide ala Round Up.
Prince Obama ....LORD OF THE FLIES!!
