Ah, yes, AE’s usual series of offstage snipings from the wings. I didn’t think you’d let the sunshine in, fella.
Had to offer you the opportunity though.
You remind me of what Gertrude said about the Player Queen: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks…”
And if I were a betting man, I’d wager that most everybody else in the house has been similarly reminded by your strivings. There’s something contrived about it.
Anyway, you still haven’t answered my question from New–#2:
Do you (or did you) have a Jewish wife or girlfriend? Jewish in-laws amongst the next generation?
Just in case you might think that everything is just hunky dory and there is no need to worry over what is about to occur in September,
this just in
Apparently “the right thing to do” is a concept that is incomprehensible to you.
Thanks for confirming that this concept is incomprehensible to you.
Definitely so because Israel has gratefully accepted all the billions in aid over several decades.
Nothing to do with the price of onions, but everything to do with your jejune attempts to browbeat a supporter of Israel instead of trying to figure out and correct 78% of American Jews voting for an anti-Semite after knowing his anti-Semitic influences.
Don’t kid yourself. There’s nothing rational about your jejune attempts to browbeat a supporter of Israel instead of trying to figure out and correct 78% of American Jews voting for an anti-Semite after knowing his anti-Semitic influences.
I wouldn’t call exposing lesser intellects unconcerned by 78% of American Jews voting for Imam Obama “matching wits” with them, especially those on this forum who work so hard to harm Israel does nothing to sharpen my wits. I do it to expose them and piss off their handlers in Hamas. Fortunately, the other Jews I know only want what’s best for Israel, which is why they are on the same page as me.
Believe me, it is clearly a myth as a generality. Jews as a group do not even rank in the top three ethnic groups in the US when ranked by family income.
You see, Eagle, I live with the blessing and the curse of a rational mind, and I know there’s got to be a reason for the hours you devote to blogging here.
FULL DISCLOSURE:
My speculation, for what it’s worth, goes like this: If the reason for your interest in this site is not grounded in a bond with the Jewish People and the State of the Jews, then perhaps it’s based on a myth, and tied to a need to show yourself that you can out-argue (or at least out-browbeat) Jews.
Of course, there must be loads of blogsites where you could “match wits with Jews” (albeit, more likely, left- than right-leaning). But we really aren’t that inordinately bright, you know, as a group — if that’s the kind of challenge you’re looking for. Hell, that’s just one more myth about Jews — one that we’d like to believe (who wouldn’t?), though we know better, and one that we’ve found useful to exploit from time-to-time (or at least to not correct), for purposes of survival. (The need for self-preservation doesn’t sleep, and creates habits of response to life.)
Anyway, like many myths, the Myth of Jewish Intellectual Superiority is a sword that cuts two ways…..
It surely is correct to say that we’re almost universally LITERATE — functionally literate, not necessarily literary. (“People-of-the-Book,” and all that; an ‘illiterate Jew’ is essentially an oxymoron, but that’s cultural not genetic.) — But hyper-smart?
Nah, not especially.
In fact, in some ways we seem, in the aggregate and throughout history (and to our great sorrow, in retrospect), to have been extraordinarily dense, compulsively myopic (contempo case-in-point: that 78-percent Amer. Jewish turnout for the Oval Office‘s sitting Judeopath, a factule to which you are constantly repairing as a point-of-reference).
Therefore if besting Jews, especially in pro-Israel argumentation, is some kind of “trophy” for you, Eagle, then I would submit that the cherished figurine is polished brass, not gold — hardly satisfying.
Then too, of course (and perhaps more to the point), if this matching of wits — with the age-old SYMBOL of wits: “The Jew” (or, for that matter, with anybody else) — originates from a need to be forever ‘proving’ to yourself that you’re smart, then it MAY just be a symptom of a deep-seated sense of personal inferiority set in motion by a series of shocks to your system before you were old enough to possess the emotional wherewithal to withstand such an assault.
If this is fact the case, the likelihood is that the agent[s] of that/those assault[s] — which lived inside the persons who thereby made you feel “stupid” — has now effectively made a home in YOU.
Resentment (typically the only defense a young person has against emotional attack) is the portal through which this kind of evil makes its entry into a person; no doubt the same manner in which it earlier gained access to those who traumatized you way-back-when. That is, somebody (or somebodies) made them feel ‘stupid’ — and they, in turn, passed on the sickness to you.
So now YOU, in your turn…… Metaphysically it’s known as “the worm that dieth not.”
Matching wits may provide momentary escape from the anguish.
But something Else is needed, AE, to enable you to breathe free.
Of course, there’s nothing to keep you from shooting back at these musings with your standard-fare, smartassed arrogance — and it would hardly surprise me if you did.
But you’d be a lot smarter if you just re-read what I’ve written here — and thought about it.
You get a gold star. (Well, gold-COLORED anyway.)
Ooh, good answer.
Very perceptive of you.
I certainly don’t have a clue as to what it means for you. That’s why I asked to know the reason for your interest, since it obviously diverges from the usual ones.
Therefore, be so good as to favor me with a window on what, exactly, you see as “right” about what you characterize as the “right thing to do.”
Maybe so, maybe no.
And even If so, not all ‘help’ turns out, in experiential reality, to constitute true help.
In any event, “underdog” status does not of itself confer entitlement to support as a matter of “right.”
An underdog can be as much a sonofabitch as can a top dog, so that’s not a reason.
78% percent of all men who switched to Camels…
…never went back to women.
What in blazes does either point have to do with the price of onions — let alone, with the basis for your interest in the Jewish Commonwealth?
Do you (or did you) have a Jewish wife or girlfriend? Jewish in-laws amongst the next generation?
What else can you say?
Only someone actively engaged in weakening Israel would say that weakening its alliance with its only ally, which continues to provide it with BILLIONS in aid, arms and UNSC vetoes, is not weakening Israel.
