"... the political left is a weapon aimed at the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish People."

 

Quote of the Day:

 

" Too many American Jews cannot fathom that

at this point in history

 and all too likely from this point forward,

the political left is a weapon

aimed at the destruction of Israel

and the genocide of the Jewish People."

 

BtB readers are The Best! I don't want you to miss the full commentary by 'Meshulam' on the previous post so I am reproducing it here, with my thanks to the author.

Note: Because -for some unknown reason- TypePad doesn't allow paragraph cuts in the comments section, I've taken the liberty of inserting them as best I can.

 

There is no question that AIPAC and ADL let down the Jewish People relative to the Hagel confirmation battle. The real question to ask about this is: why? Is it that that their leadership is so coopted by left-wing ideology that they actually believe the nomination of a flagrantly anti-semitic nitwit is not important because Buraq and the actual power-brokers in the administration will ultimately act in the best interests of Israel and the Jewish People?

Or is it something that may be worse still: their political calculation is that they cannot challenge Obama on even such a fundamental point as to object to having a Jew-hater in such a (potentially) powerful position? It is this second possibility that worries me far more. As for Schumer, Feinstein, Levin, et. al., I expected nothing more than their duplicity. They care not one iota about the people whom were first on their list of donor and voter candidates when they began their political careers. They are beyond contempt and deserve the Kapo label they have earned. Tragically, stupid American Jews will continue to finance and form the foundation of careers of similarly-inclined politicians of this ilk, to wit, the Wasserman-Schultzes and Weiners.

Too many American Jews cannot fathom that, at this point in history and all too likely from this point forward, the political left is a weapon aimed at the destruction of Israel and the genoicide of the Jewish People. They pretend this is not so, much like the Democrats pretended that the pro-Israel plank was not voted down by voice-vote at their convention last summer.

A generation ago, delusional Europeans elected leftist putative Jews like Wily Brandts, who enthusiastically supported the opening of the floodgates on that Continent to the troglodyte Islamic hordes in front of whom the Europeans now cower. Look closely at where this has led in regard to the safety of Jews in Europe: daily attacks, boycotts. vandalizing of synagogues and Holocaust memorials, and murder. Like it or not, such is coming our way here, in the last place on Earth outside of Israel where Jews live as anything close to equals (and, here in the US, this is restricted to only some places). Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it, and thus those who see that sacrificing our people is not a price worth paying, even to the great Obama.

Yael, sorry for my rant. I'm in the first generation of Jews born after the Holocaust, and I believe I have a sacred duty to their memory to fight this age-old murderous hatred that put us in the spot we are in as a people. If I am not for myself, who will be for me?

 

My dear brother, for surely I should consider you such, I accept no apology for your revelation of the stark truth. Rather, I thank you for taking the time to tell it.

Jewish Lobby? What Jewish Lobby?

 

Walt & Mearsheimer, 2006: 

For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in 1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread ‘democracy’ throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardised not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the US been willing to set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries was based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives, but neither explanation can account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the US provides.

Instead, the thrust of US policy in the region derives almost entirely from domestic politics, and especially the activities of the ‘Israel Lobby’.

 

And then there was CHANGE.

 

 

"Alrightniks may be envied but are not admired; for they have succeeded whether or not they have taste, breeding or spiritual values. Above all, they are not learned or devoted to learning -- hence cannot be really respected."

Leo Rosten, in The New Joys of Yiddish

 

Editorial of The New York Sun | February 27, 2013

By confirming Charles Hagel as secretary of war, Senator Schumer and the Democratic leadership send a pointed message to the Jewish community in America. It is that if the Jewish defense agencies are not going to stick up publicly for Israel, it is hard to expect others to do so. There is no sugar-coating the point. The Senate has just confirmed the most truculent cabinet officer in respect of Israel in more than a generation because important institutions and leaders shrank from making an issue of it....

.... [ZOA president, Morton] Klein believes the Hagel nomination would not have been confirmed had the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, and the American Jewish Committee taken a formal public position against Mr. Hagel. All three agencies have had many heroic moments. But they stood down on Mr. Hagel. Said Mr. Klein: “Several senators — and important ones — said to me: ‘If Aipac, ADL and AJCommittee — especially Aipac — had come out and lobbied against Hagel, he would have been stopped.”

 

 

"... the Republican leadership has made political orphans of millions of Americans"

No, that heading is not the latest demonization of Republicans to be spewed by Obama's minions. It's a quote from the latest MUST-READ by Angelo Codevilla:

As Country Club Republicans Link Up With The Democratic Ruling Class, Millions Of Voters Are Orphaned

 

.... By repeatedly passing bills that contradict the identity of Republican voters and of the majority of Republican elected representatives, the Republican leadership has made political orphans of millions of Americans. In short, at the outset of 2013 a substantial portion of America finds itself un-represented, while Republican leaders increasingly represent only themselves.

 

Codevilla is one of the very few spot-on observers of our times and as such is always worth reading... but all the more so if you ARE one of those political orphans.

-- Yael

" In 1776 America’s country class responded to lack of representation by uniting under the concept: 'all men are created equal.'  In our time, its disparate sectors’ common sentiment is more like:

'who the hell do they think they are?' "

 

The Sky Is Falling? Really?

"Let's all chip in and send the White House our recommendations for where to cut 3% off the budget, since these folks are too incompetent to figure this one out. Right now, call, email, flood the White House switchboard with your suggestions. After all, this is a Republic and our process is a representative Democracy (at least for now).

BtB's Question of the Day

 

Can Obama visit Jerusalem without acknowledging that it's the capital of the Jewish state of Israel?

 

 Photos Copyright Thorney Lieberman (Thou shalt not steal) 

This could get interesting. Keep your eyes on The Won's palace guards in the press; they will doubtless receive advance instruction from one of his Millionaires.

 

Jay Carney is a MILLIONAIRE?!

The Washington Free Beacon, July 2012:

"Obama's Millionaires"

 

.... White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer, Press Secretary Jay Carney, Cabinet Secretary Chrisopher Lu, and senior advisers David Plouffe and Valerie Jarrett...  Each of them earns the maximum White House salary of $172,200 per year, records show.

Jarrett’s net worth is $3.3 million - $13 million.

Lu is worth $2.3 million - $5.2 million.

Plouffe is worth as much as $3.6 million,

Carney as much as $3.2 million, and

 Pfeiffer as much as $2.1 million.

The Washington Times reports that the White House employs 468 people at a yearly cost of $37.8 million (2012):

... total salaries have declined from $39.1 million in 2009, and ... the total number of employees has dropped from 487 three years ago.

In 2008, during President George W. Bush’s final year in office, the White House payroll was $33.1 million, 14 percent less than it is today.

All this is a far cry from the early days of the republic. Thomas Jefferson employed only two people - a secretary and a messenger - both of whom he paid out of his own pocket.

.... By Ulysees S. Grant's presidency [1869-1877], the staff had grown to three....

[The headline should be] Obama Refuses to Cut 2 PCT of Federal Over-Spending/Borrowing

The Won dismissed the press from the room before taking questions from U.S. governors at the White House yesterday.

"I could not be more frustrated than I am right now," [SC Governor Nikki] Haley told reporters after the meeting. She said that when she asked Obama if he would consider a last-minute plan to shave about 2 percent from the annual federal budget without increasing taxes, the answer was "no."

"My kids could go and find $83 billion out of a $4 trillion budget," Haley said. "This is not rocket science."

[....]

Haley also noted that "no one should be going home. No one should be playing golf. No one should be taking vacations."

 

While the governors didn't have to pay to see The Won, donors to his shady "social welfare" organization will. A yearly set of four visits is priced at half a million dollars.

(It's more than likely the press will not be allowed at those gatherings either.)

I heart Rand Paul: "The president is making stuff up."

Sen. Rand Paul lays into Obama for sequester scare tactics

 

On FOX News this morning, Sen. Rand Paul may have just delivered the most pointed response to President Obama’s scare tactics on the sequester.

“I would say balderdash,” Paul said after the FOX host asked for his response. “It’s untrue, unfair, dishonest, disingenuous. The president is making stuff up.”

Paul added that Obama’s “histrionics” were “beneath the office of the presidency,” criticizing him for scaring Americans over any cuts to federal government spending.

“It is the least we can do,” Paul said about the spending cuts. “Our country is drowning in a sea of debt, borrowing $50,000 a second. we have to slow down spending.”

WHAT IF the radical anti-COAL activists had nothing to do, and our Miners could go back to work?

 

Bob Beauprez at Townhall:

It looks like the radical environmental left may have to find a new favorite dirty four letter word.

Scientists at Ohio State University have announced the discovery of a new process that takes the energy from coal without burning it – "and removes virtually all of the pollution." 

The technology, known as Coal-Direct Chemical Looping (CCDL), captures more than 99 percent of coal's carbon dioxide emissions based on laboratory research.  The team of scientists led by Liang-Shih Fan, professor of chemical engineering and director of the Clean Coal Research Laboratory at Ohio State University, has been working on this and other clean coal technologies for 15 years with funding by the Department of Energy.

Almost as amazing as the discovery itself, Prof. Fan's research project has survived three different Presidential Administrations with vastly different energy policies....
