I’m reading “What in the world is going on”,
and one of the points made was how the people of God
have always had a disproportionate impact on world history
(including inventions, Nobel prizes, etc)
compared to their population size.
It has zero to do with Jewish people personally, and everything to do with G-d.
We’re NOTHING SPECIAL, but end up doing amazing things.
With so much by done by the least of the peoples, it’s proof of G-d.
My rabbi always told me that G-d scoured the world to find the most pathetic people to be His people, to prove a point.
Kind of like the Gideon story -
you have too many men, and when they win, they think it will be because they did it, not God.
Dr Jeremaiah made the same point that you did.
Small number of people, nothing special besides being chosen out by God - a “stiff necked people” at that.
I have the best neurologist and the best eye surgeon in the world, and both are Jewish, of course. In my line of work, I get to work with the smartest lawyers in the country. They are also Jewish. In short, the smartest and best are usually Jewish. But we don’t need smart politicians, average will do as long as they are honest and patriotic.
“But we don’t need smart politicians, average will do as long as they are honest and patriotic.”
And the assumption is that Jewish people will be smart, but not necessarily be honest and patriotic?
Come on.
Look, the problem with Kagan is she is a secularist elite from the Northeast snob section of the USA. No different than Episopalian Souter or Roman Catholic Stevens.
For Pat to blame this on Jewishness is absurd and racist.
If people want “divirsity,” hire someone who was a spectacular corporate attorney in Houston or Atlanta with a CPA that actually made businesses money and graduated at the top of his or her class at a state school somewhere.
Yet still Jewbacca attacks you.
Jewbacca attacks because he thinks he can always win by pulling the racist/antisemite card. I consider myself immune to such attacks because I own my mind completely and don’t care whether Jews, blacks, the Pope, or anyone else doesn’t like what I think.
To follow up on the original line of thought, Jews are over-represented in Congress and that’s not good because most Jews are too liberal (I know, not all Jews are liberals, just as all Muslims are not terrorists).
So WASPS need affirmative action now?
You know, because Jewish people are “over-represented” in the halls of power?
Maybe each WASP vote can count 1.25 more than others.
Please. The fact you can’t see you are a mirror of Jessie Jackson is almost funny.
Absolutely, we bitter clingers huddled in our small towns, clutching our guns and Bibles, damn isn't the Old Testament Jewish? Your invited in as an honorary WASP provided you cling to those things that we cling to, I can even find four to make up a prayer circle.
You mean his unlce that fell out of the guard tower?
;-)
I absolutely cling to guns and the Torah (and it’s values), so I suppose might be an honorary WASP.
(I am just making fun of Pat Buchan being upset there are too many successful Jewish people.)
I used to like Pat. As a real WASP your Testimony qualifies you for the short list.
I’m not a WASP and don’t want any “help” from the legislators. I don’t depend on anyone and want to be left alone to fend for myself. This is not meant as a negative attack, quite the contrary, but fending for myself also means being prepared to navigate Jewish cliques in every-day business dealings.
We're glad you're proud of Kagan, Ginsburg, and Breyer.
But why do you hate white Christians?
I am in no way proud of Kagan, Ginsburg, and Breyer, nor has anything I said been to the contrary.
Indeed, I hate them because they are pathetic liberals.
I love white Christians, unless they are pathetic liberals, in which case I hate them.
This is the difference betweeen bigots like Pat and you and non-bigots like me on the other side -— a person’s religion, race, creed, or color is irrelevant to me when it comes to governance.
What matters to me is their political belief and personal character.
This a typically leftist argument.
You try to claim the moral high ground while wallowing in blatant discrimination against the majority. Hypocrite!
Amen
Guess who the black minorities and the hispanic minorities are surrogates for?
“You try to claim the moral high ground while wallowing in blatant discrimination against the majority.”
What discrimination?
“Guess who the black minorities and the hispanic minorities are surrogates for?”
Go ahead and say it, you know you want to.
