    KOOL-AID??????..From the kitchen of the obama sheeple!! take one heaping spoonful of an inexperienced elitist white male seeking self validation through exploitation of his african-american genetics. Combine two parts black liberation theology clerics spewing intolerance! With two parts of unrepentant intellectuals committed to the destruction of America. Stir in one cup of militant black wife harboring the overwhelming desire to stick it to whitey and one spoonful of typical white person grandmother mix well. Pour a gallon of anti-patriotism into tall glasses and sprinkle with naïve foreign policy ideations. Serve on a platter of meaningless oratorical hyperbole with a generous dollop of wealth re-distribution. Sprinkle liberally with zest of white guilt flip it and flop it till it tastes right.top it off with a ounce of anti-semitism and Serve large portions to the undiscerning and spellbound masses convinced that the Second Coming is upon America and now you have a complete recipe for disaster

    It's about time everyone takes another look at Abraham Lincoln and all the other anti-communists like Ronald Reagan and Joseph R. McCarthy. After all it was a Marxist Lee Harvey Oswald and a communist Sirhan Sirhan who knocked off the Kennedy Brothers. Now check out this awesome book I just read at Amazon.com!

    The Epoch Point by Spencer Zimmerman is a religious historical conspiracy thriller that follows evil throughout the existence of mankind, revealing the constant conflict between God and the devil, good and evil. Robert Davis is a young Airman fresh out of Air Force basic training who, after being held captive in China, suddenly finds himself unraveling the most immense conspiracy in history. On duty during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he soon uncovers hidden facts suggesting Russian and Iraqi involvement. While exploring abandoned military barracks at Kessler AFB in Mississippi, Davis and his friends discover the diary of Lee Harvey Oswald. Suddenly the Airmen find themselves the target of mysterious agents. As the clues surface, an evil emerges powerful enough to rewrite the entire history of humanity, not to mention kill two of his good friends. Before long the conspiracy takes on a supernatural form, marked by lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanoes, the wrath of God. Davis finds himself torn by the unbelievable realization that God has a message for him. Nothing could prepare him for the final suspenseful twist the story takes, a Da Vinci style revelation that reaffirms his belief in Christ.

    Obama smoked crack cocaine and had gay sex in Chicago in the back of a limo with Larry Sinclair in 1999, when Obama was a state representative in the Illinois legislature. Sinclair filed suit on Obama and the Democratic National Committee to compel release of this information to the public on 2/11/08. Sinclair took a polygraph test on 2/22/08 and the results will be released to the national media early next week. (He passed with flying colors.) Check out WHITEHOUSE DOT COM for the details. Bill O"Reilly has stated that he will run with the story next week once he reviews the polygraph.

    I am wondering out loud...if any other goup complained about "intermarriage" diluting their blood line would we just brush it off or call it by its real name.....

      It's not about 'diluting' the bloodline, it's about ensuring the continuity of the religion. To answer your question: in my church (Catholic) people speak openly about the issue. Many young men and women who attended mass every Sunday stop coming around once they are married to someone of a different faith - especially if the couple has decided to raise the children in another faith or without organized religion at all. As Jews accept converts there really is no bloodline to protect. I've met African, Chicano and Chinese Jews. Your comment seems more like intolerance than simply 'wondering out loud,' as though you're searching for something to criticize. Open your heart and mind, seek out those different from you and ask genuine questions. I think you'd be surprized by how many people will help you with answers.

        To nwphilly17, are tthere really Chinese Jews? How do they look like?

    I as a professional who went to school with Orthodox Jews believe and have evidenced that they are in greater need of psychological help than any other
    ethnic group. Yet we do not treat their trauma and put them at the pinnacle of American society. I feel that we should not limit the numbers of American Jewry allowed into a schoolbut we should increase their quality as an intellectual. Let them live with someone with whom they are diametrically opposed to and then allow them into Harvard. Higher education is not only about learning the subject matter, but learning how to get along in harmonywith students of different creeds and nationalities.We are all Americans, equal under the Constitution, aren't we?

    I thought this was as nasty an overview as John Simon, the master of mean reviews, ever wrote. You discuss people such as Roth and Goodman so cavalierly and in such a bantering way. Why?
    Though I agree with so much of what you've said, it's how you've said it that bothers me--the tone that you've taken.
    What's your scholarly background in Jewish-American history/Jews in literature--or any of the areas you've taken so firm a stand on?

    It is good for the Jewish people to remain kosher but to assimilate the American culture and melt with the soceity, which has happened and is possible. Let them enrol in Havard at their own merits which is the most sensible thing to do and fair. Anti-Semitism and imposing quotas will only lead to discrimination and seggregation.
    There is a school of thought saying that one of the reasons that Hitler embarked on the ethnic cleansing of the Jews was because he had the impression that the Jews are having their own social, financial, education, health, judiciary and political systems in parallel with the Germans which could not be tolerated and impossible to dismantle. Now if the rest of the Americans have the same perception then things can go wrong.
