Where, oh where to begin? Rather than spend 15 hours showing how this author completely misunderstands history, I will just do one point, but a major one at that.
VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING in the US Constitution has its roots, and even its wording in the British view of government. You can see almost every aspect of the US Constitution in Blackstone's Commentaries, written in England in the 1760s. Why is this important? Because the development of the Distinctly British view of how government operates had essentially nothing to do with Jews nor was it instituted by or determined by the Jews. And thus the American form of government which comes DIRECTLY from the British (again, look at Blackstone's Commentaries) had little imput or impetus from the Jews.
No, the Jews do not rule the world, nor did they invent the American form of government, etc. etc. etc.
So I advise everyone to suffer smelly underwear rather than read the whole article.

The author claims democracy had it's roots in Jewish theology. This is a few thousand years old. Quite a bit before 1760. Jewish thought influenced Catholic thought. Britain was influenced by Catholic/Roman thought. British thought influenced American democracy. So I assume all these ideas you mention were also implemented in Britain at the time, being that they're British ideas and all?
