RELIGIOUS LEFT = ANTI-AMERICANISM?

Dennis Prager points out in an L.A. Times Commentary that

"As far as the news media are concerned, there is no religious left, only the religious right and "mainstream" denominations — and, of course, the religious right is regularly described as bigoted, narrow-minded and intolerant, not to mention a threat to the separation of church and state.

"Yet, within Christianity and Judaism, the left is very much alive, and in Judaism it is dominant. This leftism was made apparent last month in Houston at the biennial convention of the Union for Reform Judaism, the largest of Judaism's denominations..."

"Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Jewish religious left's convention was how clearly it revealed the supremacy of leftist concerns over Jewish ones. History will record that a month after the Islamic Republic of Iran called for the annihilation of the Jewish state, 5,000 Reform Jews passed resolutions calling for District of Columbia voting rights and "workers' rights" but none about a call for what would amount to another Holocaust or about Islamic anti-Semitism generally, the greatest eruption of Jew-hatred since Nazism. History will likewise also note that two years after the United States made war on a bloodthirsty tyrant who paid the families of murderers of Jews $25,000 each, Reform Judaism passed a resolution condemning that war.

Prager states that these actions by the union of Reform Judaism reveals "the supremacy of leftist concerns over Jewish ones"

It also, however, reveals the supremacy of leftist concerns over Christian ones

It also reveals the supremacy of leftist concerns over News Gathering ones!

Leftist news.

Leftist jews.

Leftist christians.

All against america's most fundamental values. All against taking the war on terrorism seriously. All against israel's and america's defense against the jew-hating, christian-hating, America-hating, Western Civilization-hating, freedom-hating movement of global jihad.

It's the leftism. All part of "political correctness," "multiculturalism," "moral equivalency," the "blame-America-first-last-and-always" reflex, and other subdivisions of cultural Marxism's "inside job" of system-wide internal erosion: the undermining of every value and every loyalty and every way of understanding life that makes America free, safe, robust, stable, and respected, at home and abroad.

So what's the "formula" for the left's cultural Marxism?

It infests every area of our life and thought. it subverts decent americans' love and respect for our country, and for our legitimate and necessary national interests.

The formula? Just as with news, Christians, and Jews, cultural Marxism cons Americans into valuing the alleged supremacy of leftist (ultimately anti-American) concerns over all loyal, traditional, mainstream, America-loving ones!

All in the names of the most noble causes, of course. Peace, Justice, the public's right to know, academic freedom, civil rights, resisting oppression, divesting from Israel, helping others less fortunate, etc. etc., ad infinitem.

Underneath all of these, and so many more, it's always the same poisonously nourishing soil. What's that?

It's the leftism.

Shhhhhhh! Don't wake the news!

PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING AT THE U.N.

     Don't miss the rest. If you love America, and what America stands for, you must inform yourself on this issue. The news doesn't touch it.

     It turns out, if the UN is united about anything, it's: weakening America's strength, allies, resolve, prosperity, security, and prestige.

     Since much of MSN/DNC's most deeply held leftist "truths" reflect similar sentiments, they have no problem painting the U.N. as a genuine force for peace among peaceful nations.

Go to the links, too, especially Ann Bayefsky's brilliant and dedicated Eye On The U.N. Somebody's gotta watch them. The news certainly doesn't.

JEWS FOR CHRISTMAS?

You'd never guess it from the religious stereotypes favored by the news, but this is an interesting development.

Sharon Hughes writes:

   "Rabbi Aryeh Spero, of Caucus for America and a guest on my show this week, talked about what's at stake in the battle over Christmas, and why Jews need to speak up for Christmas. His articles on the subject are worthy reads, such as This Christmas Don't Let Them Turn Off the Lights, Once Upon a Time When America Had Christmas, and Our Battle for the Soul of America. Ted Belman Editor of Israpundit is another Jew speaking up for Christmas.

   "Barry Farber's article Jews for Christmas had a surprising effect on me. He is so bold in his advocacy for "a vigorous movement of American Jews rising up to make sure nobody pushes around those Christians whose ancestors decided, for the first time in history, to make a unique wonderland like America, where nobody gets pushed around because of his God-loving ways," that it made me realize, on an emotional level, that not only has it become open season on Christians, but that we have been standing alone, until recently."

ARE WE FIGHTING A WAR OR NOT?

   Since we are, the sentiments below, held by many, perhaps even most Americans, should be at least factored into our leftist, know-no-enemy-but-America news. I'm not saying that this perspective should be the only one considered. I am saying that to ignore it, is to ignore what huge numbers of Americans think and feel.

   That's one reason among many that people are increasingly turning away from mainstream news outlets. The News refuses to acknowledge that we were attacked, that we must fight back.

   They focus exclusively on  American negatives such as alleged torture of suspected terrorists. Yet they ignore barbaric acts by those who wish us all dead.

   From an anonymous email:

  "Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not   started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September   11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not  brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac   from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?

   "Did nearly   three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or   crushing death that day, or didn't they?

  "And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated"   when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?

  "Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

  "I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents  for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

  "I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start  caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in  Saudi Arabia.

  "I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for   hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling,  slashed throat.

  "I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out   and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by   hiding in mosques.

  "I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search  of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their  suicide   bombs.

  "I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First   Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead   of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. A right they have  only because soldiers they despise and whose very lives they undermine  with their one-sided reporting protect it.

  "In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave Marine roughing up  an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

  "When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have   been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest   assured that I don't care.

  "When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told   not to move because he might be booby-trapped with a bomb, you can take  it to the bank that I don't care.

  "When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,  and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining  that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in  your heart of hearts that I don't care.

  "If you agree with this view point, pass this on to all your e-mail   friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this   ridiculous behavior! If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete   button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when  more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great  country."

America's News. Citizens of the world --- or just plain treasonous?

DEATH BY APPEASEMENT?

From Daniel Pipes' Weblog

   "Since 1992, Israel's hapless leaders have followed a policy of appeasement in the hopes that "timely concessions to disgruntled nations whose grievances had some legitimacy [would succeed in] … defusing difficulties and promoting peace and goodwill."

   "But, in a perpetually relevant comment dating to the dark days of 1940, Winston Churchill warned that "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." The U.N. crocodile has shown it is satiated but briefly by Israel, returning after each "painful concession" with an even more voracious appetite. Will Israelis ever again understand that wars are won through victory, not retreat?"

   Will Americans?

   Will the news get around to noting this before Israel, America, and "The West" are all concessioned out of existance?

NEWS. NOT GOOD FOR JEWS?

   "What is truly surprising is the Israelis' behavior, which is strikingly reminiscent of the behavior of European Jewry during the Holocaust -- following a cowardly, self-serving leadership that cowed to the intimidation of their mortal enemies (those leaders seemingly started to believe that Jews are truly subhuman and therefore have no civil rights, just as many Israelis seem to believe today that the State of Israel has no sovereign rights). No Israeli PM before Sharon was ready to capitulate, virtually unconditionally; to give up without anything tangible in return vital political and territorial positions, one after the other, under diplomatic and/or economic pressure."

   "We must learn form history. Like the Muslims today, Hitler did not hide his intent to eradicate the Jews,* and he was fairly successful -- he eradicated a third of the world's Jewry. Most Israelis and many American Jews (at least those who continue to support Sharon or his anti-national, i.e., anti-Zionist, socialist allies) seem to utterly ignore the explicit Islamic mortal threats against Israel and the Jews (just because they are Jews, very much like Hitler did).

*That's true. Neither Hitler in his day, nor the Muslim world today hides this intent. In both cases though, the world's news basically ignore and trivialize it so much , it's remained effectively hidden from most of the world's awareness. Even the Jewish-owned New York Times severely downplayed the ongoing Nazi holocaust of European Jewery.

PROUD TO BE A PSYCHOLOGIST? NOT TODAY :(

   "... the self-declared “social justice” group Psychologists for Social Responsibility (PsySR) hand-delivered an anti-Israel statement to the White House, the leadership of the House of Representatives, and the Senate."

   "...Their view is a politically and multi-culturally correct analysis of reality. But it is dead wrong. Evil and criminality exist and cannot be entirely attributed to class differences. Al Zarqawi and bin Laden, like the late Yasir Arafat, are wealthy serial killers, not poor, downtrodden victims."

"...If its anti-Israel statement is any clue, PsySR is very far from the pro-peace group it purports to be. It is instead a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli group that uses its expertise in mental health to assail Israel’s right to self-defense."

ARE YOU SURE IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU, TOO?

   "...All I want to ask my fellow Europeans is this: are you happy to help direct the world's fury at the only country in the Middle East whose civilisation even remotely resembles yours? And are you sure that the fate of Israel has no bearing on your own?

   "In Iran, the new President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad makes the link. The battle over Palestine, he says, is "the prelude of the battle of Islam with the world of arrogance", the world of the West. He is busy building his country's nuclear bomb.

LE NEWS, C'EST FICKLE

From Don Feder, in FPM   

"Wasn’t it only yesterday the media were telling us that the French are so wise in choosing diplomacy over the use of force, and so clever at handling relations with Third World people – in other words, so unlike the trigger-happy unilateralists on this side of the Atlantic?

   "Well, guess what? After three weeks of rioting in Parisian suburbs, those sophisticated, worldly French have been transformed into a nation of repressive, racist pigs, in the eyes of the U.S. press. All it took was a few thousand burning Citroens to illuminate the situation.

   "For the mainstream media (inveterate root-causers), riots invariably are the result of injustice, discrimination, hopelessness, poverty, lack of economic opportunity and unemployment.

   "I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m out of work, I firebomb a few cars."
