Liberals love to boast that they are not "religious," which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion
. – Ann Coulter
This day, America and the world are in a dire cultural, political and spiritual crisis. The very existence of civilization as we know it seems to hang in the balance. Will America be what intellectual Bill Bennett calls "the [world's] last best hope," or will America (and the West) go the way of Holland, which in January of this year erected a monument in Amsterdam? The monument was not to Rembrandt, not to Grotius, not to Spinoza, not to van Gogh or to some other commendable icon of Dutch history which to revisionist historians are merely DWMs (dead white males). No, no, no! Now that liberals run the show in the West, in academia, in the courts, in the media, in politics, in culture, this monument, paid for by the good taxpayers of Amsterdam, blessed by the city fathers, is to the glorious Prostitute and to that ancient sacred art ... prostitution. Take that, Spinoza!
The following narrative is a humorous (but grave) satire of a monumental legal code that served as one of the great pillars of Western civilization for thousands of years – The Ten Commandments. However, in my treatment, I will first change the setting from 1500 B.C. to modern times. Secondly, instead of Moses going up to Mt. Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments from God, in my liberal version, Walter Cronkite, that lion of liberalism who for almost 40 years surreptitiously (and complicit with the mainstream media) presented a benign, non-partisan, fatherly image as "America's news broadcaster," ascends Mt. Sinai. When he gets to the top of the mountain, God is not there. Nobody is there. "There" is only a blank line; "god" is only a tabula rasa, a blank slate to be whatever god you desire. Since it would be cruel to engrave words into a stone, Cronkite, the scribe, writes down god's laws in chalk (non-toxic, powderless chalk of course – we must protect the environment).
The following are the Ten Commandments Cronkite has written down for all humanity, for all ages (or at least until the next rain washes the chalk off the tablets of stone).
Thou shall covet thy neighbor's wife (Hollywood, opera, soap operas).
Thou shall covet thy neighbor's manservant and his maidservant (renaming illegal immigration an "amnesty program" for migrant workers from Mexico to curry favor with thy Republican corporate masters; or if you are a Democrat, to create a permanent block of uneducated voters that will be indebted to you for generations, i.e., the same strategy that FDR used to build his bulletproof coalition of Jews, blacks, Italians, Germans, Irish and other disaffected ethnic groups with his New Deal programs of the 1930s).
Thou shall covet thy neighbor's ox and his ass, and all that is thy neighbors (politicians that draft laws or judges that decree laws that in essence steal from "the rich" and give to "the poor" and call it "a tax credit," "socialism," "planned economy," "social engineering," "a gift," or as California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently called his proposed tax increase – "a loan"). Reasonable people call those government policies or judicial decrees stealing.
"And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it (the rock 'n' roll bands at Woodstock) they removed, and stood afar off. …" and proceeded happily down the road to Perdition.
Note: For the original Ten Commandments, see Exodus 20.
and don't forget FDR sent almost 1,000 Jewish refugees on the SS St. Louis to their death. Also, on the eve of World War II, a bill that would have admitted Jewish refugee children above the regular quota limits was introduced in Congress. FD Roosevelt took no position on the bill, and it died in committee in the summer of 1939.
She’s right.
Thanks. Now I understand why most Jews are
Democrats.

There was a concert pianist named Choleus and the Libbies used to go crazy as regards him.
If you don't like those, there's another set in Deuteronomy 5.
The Jews are history's biggest victims of envy going back thousands of years. It's ironic that in America they vote for the party of envy and stir up envy in the mainstream media as often as they get the opportunity. If they are best buddies with the green eyed monster do they get eaten last this time?
Now that we have the 10 commandments for liberals we need a rewrite of the 7 deadly sins. They could be renamed the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Learjet Liberals.
