Jewish Scouting leaders vocal on gay inclusion

"And what do you perceive a “Jewish agenda” to be? That phrase is too close to “Zionist agenda”."

Hmmmm. "too close to Zionist agenda".

"As for ZC, I took the handle to be ironic, as my handle is."

So obviously you're familiar with the screen name but don't find it to be, "too close to Zionist Agenda".

"I don’t know what you’re referring to, but it seems like something was misinterpreted, never mind some wires being crossed."

I see. So it's true that there are some animals who are more equal than others.

Jewish folks who aren't liberal idiots are quick to get their panties in a wad when anyone uses a phrase that doesn't meet their approval but more than happy to ignore the behavior of their fellow conspirators who routinely slander a billion Catholics at a whack. That sort of double standard is exactly what feeds the numskull antisemitic crowd.

Shed the double standard and there won't be nearly as many people believe at least a little of the garbage that gets spread about the "Jooooz".

[Olog-hai]

I don’t comprehend the chip on your shoulder, but anyone who is OK with terms that are used by Hamas I would presume to have abandoned their Catholicism.

Christianity is not a faith that requires human confidence to bolster; I seem to recall in the book of Psalms that we should bear scorn for the sake of God anyway (Psalm 69:7).

[Rashputin]

"I don’t comprehend the chip on your shoulder,"

I don't have a chip on my shoulder unless you think my trying to make a point to you about how you're perceived is a chip on my shoulder. And, I especially don't care for a discussiuon of religion outside of the religion forum.

You see people being careless in how they phrase things and using expressions you don't like but you see nothing wrong with others who notice and make a point of the same things being expressly and deliuberately offensive.

If you think that doesn't feed exactly the sort of language and terminology that you find offensive or borderline, so be it. You obiously don't think it's worthy of note so fine, have a nice day.

[Olog-hai]

I honestly have no clue what you are talking about. You appear to be ranting over something that has nothing to do with me at all.

You seem to be angry at one Jew expressing a negative view of Catholics (and without seeing the context, I have no idea if it’s an attack on all Catholics and even if it were, is it not so that the ultimate judge knows the truth and will defend those who are slandered?), and with this diatribe making it look like the one Jew represents all Jews.

I on the other hand spoke up against an attack on all Jews (when one says “Jews” with no qualifying distinction, it can only mean that all Jews are meant) when the type of Jews represented in this thread are of the liberal caste. Much like Pelosi and Biden are unlike very many other Catholics and are indeed heretical and liberal versions of same, being nominal Catholics just like the Jews that are the subject of this thread are nominal Jews in terms of Judaism.

So kindly don’t drag me into your spat with Zionist Conspirator; sort that out on your own. And have more confidence in your beliefs.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

These people who have made this declaration do not speak for Judaism or for all Jews. The Torah, aka The Five Books of Moses, aka the Pentateuch abhors homosexuality and unequivocally describes it as an abomination, a cardinal sin. Any Jew who embraces it has abandoned one the main tenets of his religion. Ditto for Leftist Protestants, Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Baplists,

[wardaddy]

Its not anti Semitic to oppose Jewish progressives hellbent on cultural revolution and transformation since....long as I can remember

That is misusing the term like folks misuse racism

[wardaddy]

You can do better than that

It feels like you posted this thread just to ...as a Jew....call folks anti Semite

I hate to break it to you but to many of us....

Every time we see the social engineering vanguard at work and that person has a Jewish surname

Frankly I am not surprised

Why Jews veer to leftism is a subject of debate

My hunch is lack of faith and looking to recreate man in earth

Messianic humanism

[wardaddy]

Don’t associate Jews with liberalism?

And 3/4s vote Democrat?

So don’t associate blacks and Latinos with leftism either?

Nuts

[wardaddy]

Don’t let him bully you

He was trolling for fun

You said nothing wrong

[wardaddy]

They are more influential than just in their small way

Numbers wise yes

Influence in media particularly....huge....in fact arguably largest single demographic of progressives in media and film

[wardaddy]

The sooner that liberal Jews stop calling themselves Jews, the better things will be.

Dang Darrell

How uncharacteristically intolerant and non diversity appreciative of you?

If I made such a statement about liberal blacks you would call me a neoconfederate bigot as is your wont

For the record

No matter how infuriating I find Jewish liberals and their incessant activism

They damn well have the right to be considered Jewish if they like even if non observant...its their DNA

If observance is the criteria then about half those who call themselves Christians should quit being called Christian too while you're at it

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Thank you for saying that.

Shalom.

[Jewbacca]

I’m sorry, that’s just paranoid.

As much as I’d like to control the world and the media sometimes, I’ve apparently missed the meeting at the shul -— oh wait, because no such conspiracy exists.

In reality, I’m pretty happy if I could just live on the beach in Israel.

[ArrogantBustard]

Faggotry is as unJewish as it is unChristian, and for the same reason.

The Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; The Word who became Flesh and dwelt among us, through Whom all things were made, DIDN'T MAKE US THAT WAY. Faggotry is a direct and unequivocal rejection of His Divine Plan.

[dfwgator]

Cultural Jews.

[Hacksaw]

Jewish Scouting leaders are taking a vocal role in efforts to pass a historic resolution that would partially lift a ban on gays in the Boy Scouts of America. In a meeting of the National Jewish Committee on Scouting in February, members voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution lifting the BSA’s longstanding ban on gay members. … The resolution would not change the BSA’s ban on gay adult leaders.

These Jewish scouting leaders then need to form their own scouting organization instead of trying to impose homosexuality on Christian scouts. Of course, that would not happend because sticking it to the Christians is the whole point.

[Olog-hai]

That’s like associating Catholics with liberalism as well since most of the Catholic vote went to the Democrats in ’12 too. The Catholics on here would rightly take exception to that.

[Olog-hai]

What’s a “Jewish surname”?

[wardaddy]

I never used the word conspiracy, you did.

I don’t think Jews control much as some monolithic bloc.

I do think leftist Jews share similar world view same as folks like me do and you know it instinctively in one another’s company.

Here’s a thread from Free Republic years ago and just look at Al Franken’s guest list

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1270257/posts

THE RUNUP TO KERRY’S DEBACLE Left-wing “reporters” met with Kerry in Al Franken’s apartment

BACKSTORY Posted on FR

In an effort to galvanize the message Kerry wants to deliver in the time remaining, he convened a powerful roster of journalists and columnists in the New York City apartment of Al Franken.....

The gathering could not properly be called a meeting or a luncheon.

It was a trial.

The journalists served as prosecuting attorneys, jury and judge. The crowd I joined in Franken’s living room was comprised of: Al Franken and his wife Franni; Rick Hertzberg, senior editor for the New Yorker; David Remnick, editor for the New Yorker; Jim Kelly, managing editor for Time Magazine; Howard Fineman, chief political correspondent for Newsweek; Jeff Greenfield, senior correspondent and analyst for CNN; Frank Rich, columnist for the New York Times; Eric Alterman, author and columnist for MSNBC and the Nation; Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist/author of ‘Maus’; Richard Cohen, columnist for the Washington Post; Fred Kaplan, columnist for Slate; Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate and author; Jonathan Alter, senior editor and columnist for Newsweek; Philip Gourevitch, columnist for the New Yorker; Calvin Trillin, freelance writer and author; Edward Jay Epstein, investigative reporter and author; Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who needs no introduction.

We sat in a circle around Kerry and grilled him for two long hours.

In an age of retail politicians who avoid substance the way vampires avoid sunlight, in an age when the sitting President flounders like a gaffed fish whenever he must speak to reporters without a script, Kerry’s decision to open himself to the slings and arrows of this group was bold and impressive.

He was fresh from two remarkable speeches – one lambasting the Patriot Act, another outlining his foreign policy ideals while eviscerating the Bush record – and had his game face on.

He needed it, because Eric Alterman lit into him immediately on the all-important issue of his vote for the Iraq War Resolution. The prosecution had begun.

and that is just starters...i am not paranoid to think Jewish leftists dominate the media and film

i do not particularly see it as a conspiracy however it does appear that when need be that some will “work together” to get their way...unseemly for journalist in my opinion

I fear this is all providential actually...two competing ways of viewing life and God and the world.

I’m not sure what makes a Jewish conservative but whatever it is should be patented.

[Graewoulf]

Thanks for the list of Obamanation Enablers.

Their Commie Professors must be very proud.

_____________

Ponder this:

In the failed world of Communism, all functions of a Society are controlled by a Central Government.

Our Central Federal Government has been easily taken over by Obama to the gleeful cheers of MSNBC and others in the Liberal Agenda Media.

This is as good a time as any to take note of those who have willingly enabled the blatant Communist ideas and programs of Obama to take hold in our Central Federal Government.

It is also a good time to take note of the many dictatorial powers that our sorry US Congress has granted over many decades to the Administration Branch and related Bureaus of our Central Federal Government.

Just to balance our income with our spending, the Central Federal Government must reduce spending by 40 percent.

The longer we wait to “cut or way to prosperity” and repeal and abolish Federal Regulations, the greater our financial debt and less Liberty we will have.

For example, if Central Federal Government Regulations were reduced by 40 percent, our Society would be 40 percent further removed from control by the Central Federal Government.

Currently, there are 3 major Impeachable Scandals that our sorry RINOs could use to remove Obama from our Central, semi-Communist, Federal Government.

My question is: “Do our sorry Congressional RINOs have the POLITICAL MOTIVATION to Impeach and Remove B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of Indonesia?”
