New York Congressman Gary Ackerman is upset with Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas, calling him moronic. He says that if Carter came to his seder, he’d call him "the simple son."
Ackerman’s mixing up Passover and policy too much. He just sent out a Passover letter to Jewish constituents that removes all separation of church and state. Printed on stationery of the Congress of the United States, Committee on Financial Services, Committee on Foreign Affairs, the letter says:
"To the four questions you ask this year, I’d like to ask two more.
"First,
who but the Jews would celebrate their birth as a people and the end of
their enslavement with the words, This is the bread of affliction.
Answer; None…
"There are countless reasons for us to eat matza at Pesach, and one need not choose among them."
Seven more paragraphs about Passover. And a reference to the "Holocaust survivors who are now dying off" and to the "awful hunger of the Darfuri refugee." It closes, "I wish you, your family, and the entire community a Pesach sameach!" (Happy Passover!)
I.e., this letter was all religion, no public policy. I wonder how many Ackerman sent out on the congressional frank, at 41 cents a pop. We never cut the Christian right a break on this kind of abuse, let’s apply the same standard to the Jewish right…
"We never cut the Christian right a break on this kind of abuse."
Excuse me?
Last December the House passed a resolution practically declaring Christianity the official religion of the USA, and I never heard a peep of complaint about it.
Michael,
There were peeps. Here's one:
So it looks like mainstream, devout Jews and Christians are now in agreement that religion has a place in public life, and shouldn't be hidden in the closet like pornography. Fine. Now let's get out the New Testament and start driving the money changers from the American temple.
Marxists use the Separation clause to try to suppress religion (which is kind of like trying to suppress sex) on the road to a "utopia" where religion has been eradicated; Neo-theocrat Jewish and Christian Zionists are trying to leverage the West's Christian heritage into a "Judeo-Christian" war against Islam and a permanent bodyguard for Zionist fanaticism and expansionism. And Jewish Zionists like Ackerman and Lieberman are trying to harness the power and money of the US federal government to insulate their people (not US citizens, but Jewish Zionists) from the consequences of their scheming conduct.
What a pathetic assortment of screwballs. That these craven, infantile, intellectual hicks are running the country does not bode well for America's future.
"That these craven, infantile, intellectual hicks are running the country does not bode well for America's future."
Agreed!
MRW:
Thanks for the link!
It's good to see that at least some people were irritated and even outraged that Congress had practically stated that Christianity is the US' official religion.
Only an apostate Jew, who should read the part about the "wicked son" really carefully, would get worked up about something like this. And no, I don't give a shit if a congressman sends out Happy Easter or Merry Christmas greetings. It's essentially a Christian country and has a Jew I'm fine with that. Better that then Sharia law or European secularism.
BTW, the bill rights allows the free exercise of religion and doesn't proscribe a national religion or a religious test for office, that's all it does.
The extreme right-wing Muslim religion, funded by the Saud Family around the world at the expense of moderate Islam and with the help of BushCo Goy Oil interests, is partnering with the concept of those pushing "Judeo-Christian legacy" to blind side and milk the goy masses & Arab masses and their kids in essential slavery. In the long run the usual supspects will pay, both little Goy, Arab, and Jew.
{icked this up on another site – can you help, Phil?
My book, "The Transparent Cabal: The Neoconservative Agenda, War in the Middle East, and the National Interest of Israel," is coming out in June (or perhaps late May). It is listed on Amazon at
http://www.amazon.com/Transparent-Cabal-Neoconservative-National-Interest/dp/1932528172
and can be pre-ordered. I might add that it is generating some interest and often has been ranked in Amazon's top 100 for 21st-century U.S. history books.
I am trying to get publicity for the book. Reviews from large publications are not likely. Unfortunately, even publications that deal with the neocon issue, such as “The American Conservative,” seem unwilling to review it. (Pre- publication, bound-galley copies have been distributed.)
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who would be willing to review the book for a publication or website; let me know, and I will contact the publisher to obtain a review copy. I would also appreciate help in obtaining speaking engagements to promote my book, especially radio interviews over the telephone (since my travel funds are limited). Any other publicity provided for my new book would also be very much appreciated. It would be very helpful to have the book mentioned as much as possible on the Web and/or on mailing lists.
Attached are a few publicity items from the publisher.
Dissemination would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve Sniegoski
Mr. Sniegoski:
I read a synopsis of your book on barnesandnoble.com, and it sounds fascinating.
I'm not sure why you can't get it reviewed.
SoG:
You are a real tool.

"New York Congressman Gary Ackerman is upset with Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas, calling him moronic. He says that if Carter came to his seder, he'd call him 'the simple son.'"
Carter is negotiating hard with Hamas for a ceasefire in Gaza, a lifting of the Israeli seige, and a prisoner exchange. This is no easy task, and he may not succeed.
But if he does, and Corporal Shalit finally gets to come home, Ackerman will look like the blustering fool that he is.
Jimmy Carter is kissing the ass of every Hamas operative between Cairo and Damascus. Actually I take that back because it connotes doing something he wouldn't ordinarily do. He's paling around with them because he likes them, they like him, and they share the same world view. What's going to be interesting is the reaction when he finally does the right thing and dies.
"What's going to be interesting is the reaction when he finally does the right thing and dies."
What a self-important, odious jackass you are, SoG.
I'm wounded by your slashing rhetoric Mike, drop me a line from Teheran when McCain wins the election

Carter has said that solving the I/P conflict is his highest priority. One might wonder why.
My guess is that after the 1978 Israel-Egypt treaty, Carter really thought the momentum would continue, and Israel soon would have agreements with all its neighbors. Instead, U.S. taxpayers have coughed up hundreds of billions, while the violence and insecurity is higher than ever. I would sure feel guilty about having spent so much to obtain so little — $5 billion a year for Israel & Egypt probably is the second-worst "investment" ever, besides the Iraq War.
But if he felt that his earlier efforts had been a failure, why would Carter have accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002? Did he rationalize that the Prize would give him the credibility to salvage his earlier well-intentioned but ultimately unsuccessful efforts?
Whatever the explanation, Carter was involved in monitoring both the 2005 election of Abbas, and the 2006 election in which Hamas won 74 of 132 seats. Carter has described the Bush administration's refusal to recognize the Hamas victory as "criminal." Carter is a small-d classical democrat, and probably gets as outraged as I do when the results of a fair election are simply thrown out. Bush, Olmert and Mugabe all want to deny the democratic majority their due.
Who's throwing out the election. The Palestinians had the right to elect a government that wants to wipe out Israel and Israel has the right to treat said governement has a hostile entity. Tell me the flaw in that. I know that your on board with the Hamas program but some people aren't.
Jimmy Carter was the word President since James Buchanan. He also managed to sit out WW2 in Annapolis.
"The Palestinians had the right to elect a government that wants to wipe out Israel and Israel has the right to treat said governement has a hostile entity."
The Israelis had the right to elect a government that has for decades been attempting to wipe the Palestinians off the map (and largely succeeding), and the Palestinians have the right to treat said government as a hostile entity by electing Hamas. What does any of this have to do with America? Nothing, other than the fact that America is financing the Israeli side thanks primarily to Jewish American Zionist agents like SOG.
SOG, you and your kind are nearly universally despised for a reason that has nothing to do with your race, and everything to do with the usurious, authoritarian, parasitic ideologies that you embrace. Until you change, nothing will change for you. But go on, keep beating your head against the wall and then whining about the intolerance of the brick. I guess bad old habits die hard, and sometimes not at all. Zionists have become a useful metaphor for stubborn selfishness and self-absorption to the point of self-destruction.
Whoa how did Robert Mugabe get into this?
Jim, you used to work in southern Africa, is that right?
Was it for the British East India company?
the Sword of Gideon has intrigued me with his latest bromide. "…wipe out Israel; wipe Israel off the map." I presume you are not talking about a man named "Israel".
Now, are you saying that means Israel as a nation, with all the jews who live there, and sundry others, will perish. Rounded up and executed? Or forced by the non-jewish majority to relinquish their faith?
Does it mean that there will no longer be a nation state functioning as a safe haven for the jewish diaspora?. Excuse, me but it just might be that the presence of an exclusive jewish state is the stimulus for world wide anger against jews. In other words good Gideon, they may be jumping on their own sword.
"New York Congressman Gary Ackerman is upset with Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas, calling him moronic. He says that if Carter came to his seder, he'd call him 'the simple son.'
Woe the day when America wakes up to what this really means..
Here we have an American politican using his post in the government to represent the fascist interests of Israel in the name of American jews…
For jewish politicans like Ackerman, dual-loyalty is becoming a single loyalty to the Israeli right wing..
And antisemitism? Can you say "self fullfilling prophecy..??
Actually I would put Careter in the category of the wicked son. He's actually intelligent in a dangerous sort of way. But I'm intrigued by your premise that things were hunky dory for us before 1948. It seems like just a few years before that we had SS types like Ed running amok. Explain the nirvana of that.

Just saw Carter being interviewed on Fox News, Monday morning. Didn't catch the first part of it.
Carter said he would bring a letter from Cpl. Gilad Shalit to his parents. Obviously Carter has been trying to convince Hamas that they would be better off to set Shalit free, even if Hamas can't bargain his freedom for everything they want.
The reporter asked Carter whether he would meet with al Qaida. "Of course not," replied Carter. Al Qaida is not supported by its own people, and is not involved in any productive process (such as democratic elections), he added.
Finally, the obligatory America-centric question: Who do you support for U.S. president? Carter declined to endorse anyone, but pointedly noted that his entire family, his hometown of Plains, and his state had endorsed Obama. Then he gave that 150-watt snaggle-toothed grin that we all remember so well. Damn, it was like 1979 again for a minute.
SoG:
We're all sorry Jimmy Carter didn't have the type of WWII experience that you consider proper.
What a blowhard you are.
BTW, I know two old guys who had varying WWII experiences:
One guy spent 35 days of hell as a medic on Iwo Jima.
The other spent the whole war in San Francisco as a dental assistant.
Guess which one's psyche was shattered? Fate is cruel.
But I can tell you neither one gives a frog's fat ass about Israel, except in the general sense that they both wish ALL of humanity well.
Jimmy Carter is a menace who has undermined every president since the American people had the intelligence to bury him in 1980. And the only reason he beat Ford was because of watergate. And even then it was close. Reagan had a million people lining the route of his funeral. Peanut Jimmuh will not even be close when he finally does the world a favor and goes to his great reward.
Gee, I thought Jimmy Carter was the main guy responsible for Israel's peace with Egypt and Jordan–he bribed Egypt; Egypt's slice of our annual foreign aid pie reflects this. Israel and Egypt
are the two gluttons at our table. Let's dole out those slices to
the bitter (starving) people in Ohio, PA, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Or, isn't that in the ordinary Americans' interest?

A Slimes article filed this morning ends on a downbeat note about Carter's efforts, quoting Carter as saying "This can go on interminably." Yeah … sixty years is a long time. What frustrates me about the article is its repeated use of the code phrase "Israel's right to exist":
————
The Nobel peace prize laureate stopped short of saying he obtained a clear commitment from Hamas to recognize Israel's right to exist, one of the conditions set by Western powers to deal with the group.
Unlike Abbas, who sought a Palestinian state side-by-side with the Jewish state, [Hamas official] Abu Zuhri said Hamas's outstanding position not to recognize Israel's right to exist remained unchanged despite its acceptance of a state in 1967 borders.
http://tinyurl.com/4bp6tl
————
Obviously, any deal between Hamas and Israel would implicitly recognize Israel's existence. But that's not what's at issue. Israel wants its existence AS A JEWISH STATE recognized, which would mean forfeiting a Palestinian right of return, as well as condemning Israeli Arabs to second-class citizenship.
To a casual observer unfamiliar with the insider catchphrases that prevail in the region, the Slimes' use of the loaded but unexplained term "Israel's right to exist" makes the article almost unintelligible. But of course, the Slimes has been a mouthpiece for official interests for decades now. Here's Glenn Greenwald, pounding the Slimes' pointed head using a two-by-four with a rusty nail stickin' out of it. Go, Glenn, go! Bust they skull!

"It seems like just a few years before that we had SS types like Ed running amok."
SOG, in your mind, every gentile is a potential "SS type running amok." That's why you and other Jewish Zionists hate all gentiles and like to see them used, manipulated and financially exploited by Israel and its agents. That's why hundreds of thousands of Jewish Bolsheviks partnered with the Stalinists to murder millions of Christians and dissidents in the Soviet Union, before there ever was an SS. By applying your own Manichean Jewish Zionist logic, every gentile should view every Jew as a potential "commissar running amok." Now how fair would that be? But you don’t care, any more than the Jewish Bolsheviks cared about the Holocaust. You’re far too absorbed in your own fanaticism. As I said, selfishness and self-absorption is what makes Jewish ideologues so dangerous, particular to their own people. That's why an increasing number of sane Jews are striking back at their fanatical "wicked son" Zionist kin.
Ed, I told you before, we don't hate all gentiles, just you.
