It is part of our historical record that after the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was asked by a woman if we had a monarchy or a republic and Franklin famously answered, ” A republic if you can keep it.” It doesn’t look like we have. That is not a hyperbole.
The other night I had the pleasure of hearing Avi Jorisch of the Intelligence Gathering Group speak at a Jewish Federation dinner.
“Big deal,” you say. “I heard Joe Shmoe. so what?”
The difference is that Avi Jorisch, unlike Joe Shmoe, is one of the unsung heroes of this country. Through his work with the Near East Policy Institute he managed to get Al Manar, a Hezballah sponsored TV network labeled a terrorist entity. Through his insightful research, diligence, and bravery his counter intelligence work proved fruitful. Enough evidence was presented to the US government to designate Al Manar an arm of terrorism.
According to Yehuda Avner’s essential book The Prime Ministers Menecham Begin unapologetic informed Lord Carrington, one of the anti-Semites in the Thatcher government, that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel thousands of years before London was created. He then stood his ground against the suicidal demands of those “enlightened” masters of Israel, knowing that the Jews always stand alone. Prime Minister Begin did what he thought was right for his country and for his extended family of Jews no matter the strength of the enemy,the sentiments of popular journalists, or the lies perpetuated by political foes. So how is this story connected to Chanukah and the United States?
I am an American.
I am also a Jew.
Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, which holds our service to G-d as the number one commandment. As we watch the Middle East descend into chaos and slaughter, our country enters a bizarre universe where the miserable government media proclaim all problems are caused by the rampant racism in this country, the fat cats on Wall street, or the “hate filled” Republican party. This disgusting state of affairs is either ignored or desired by government leading a docile public to its demise because our government is in bed with all the usual suspects.
Every American remembers 9/11 and the cold blooded murders at Fort Hood. We also know that the Blind Sheikh planned the 1993 bombing in the Towers garage. Although many have forgotten the USS Cole, it is important that we remember who perpetrated ALL these unconscionable massacres. So my question is why are Muslim Brotherhood advocates working in government and contract positions? And why was Michelle Bachmann et.al ridiculed when they asked a cogent question?
Yesterday we find out that a billion dollar contract was given to Serco. a company under investigation for serious fraud in Great Britain. Fat Cats on Wall street? How about ex- governor fat cat Jon Corzine who previously worked for Goldman Sachs? He just “misplaced” more than a billion dollars of other people’s money but he’s still walking free. Geitner, another Goldman, alumnus answered “I couldn’t understand Turbo tax” when he was interrogated as to why he didn’t pay the IRS more than $100,00 in taxes. He was given the top job at Treasury.
Since I have some experience working with the Broward County Republican Executive Committee I can honestly say most of the time they’re lucky to be able to brush their teeth without help. Without Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul et.al. the party would have been kicked senseless by the Democrat ass.
So what does this have to do with Judeo- Christian values? Everything. Jews arrived here about 1650. Our Founding Fathers were familiar with our Torah (Old Testament) and Hebrew. One of the main tenets is that we are all equal in G-d’s eyes and under the law, even though we are blessed with different talents and skills. We are in service to Him. That is an abbreviated version of Judeo Christian principles. Communism, socialism, and Islam abhor what we believe. All of their adherents do everything to destroy that belief because the “isms” believe government is their god. Islam believes everyone who doesn’t believe as they do are infidels. Therefore Muslim can rape and murder them without impunity. It is time we remember who we are and stand for what is righteous and good. That is what our country has always stood for.
