Last night's baseball celebration by the amazing Tampa Bay [Devil] Rays provided a moment of recognition for American Jews as powerful as the Sandy Koufax moments of 40 years ago. At midnight, on the podium accepting the American League championship trophy, were the three executives of the club, Stu Sternberg, Andrew Friedman, and Matt Silverman. Three men who came out of the financial industry to transform a baseball club, one of them cherishing Sandy Koufax. It's been reported that Friedman is Jewish, I'm betting all three guys are.
This is a story about the transformation of the American elite. In its piece on the trio 2 years back, the Times said nothing about the men's religious background. I wonder how long this can or should go unremarked. This is America. Last year a friend of mine was upset by the religious culture of the Colorado Rockies clubhouse–that last upstart team in the World Series. There were stories about team prayers, that kind of thing. That upsets Jews because we worry about our minority rights, and will we be isolated, etc? Well our minority rights are doing fine here. And yet another friend when I talk about Jews in the elite, he says, jokingly, "But Phil, don't set back our gains." Just a joke, yes. Still don't you wonder how much clubbiness there is to Jewish establishment culture? And how much of political-campaign contributions are coming from people who have religious attachment to an expansionist country halfway around the world? Taboo.
Jews relentlessly deconstruct and criticize
the culture of the majority, but the goyim must never analyze in a critical fashion any
aspect of Jewish power or Jewish influence.
Under a generation of Jewish elites (if Phil is right) we've had aggressive wars, massive financial fraud, cronyism/discrimination, dual loyalty/teason, the support of the Jewish pet project Israel (which far exceeds the brutality of Civil Rights era violence, theft or degradation), as well as foreign cultures and peoples forced on the majority polulation. We've also been given the Arab world as a sworn enemy, and had our civil liberties curtailed. Good job!
I would say that the Jewish elite and common classes have failed miserably at replacing the WASPs, and should be jettisoned quickly from national affairs.
We really have to bring the yellow stars and tattoos back, don't we guys. If we just leave it to guys like Phil, assessing who has the biggest hooked nose. Well then how will we know?
No, SOG, the majority in this nation just has to evaluate what's in its best interest and be able to act accodingly, since the individual means nothing at the moment. What's wrong with that? Would you wish any less for Israelis or Jews in general?
Why SOG, we have the trusty ADL! Elected by the good American people.
How else would we ever know who the bad guys are?
Wow, Phil, what an idiotic post. I can't wait till you have a similar one on Jewish doctors and scientists.
Phil,
"Times said nothing about the men's religious background."
why would they care?
"I wonder how long this can or should go unremarked."
Maybe they should put yellow stars on their cloths and yellow star before their name when they are in the press?
your camparison of the criticism of team prayers to those of the jewish elite, in this case baseball executives, is wrong. How does them being Jewish isolate gentiles in the club?
"Still don't you wonder how much clubbiness there is to Jewish establishment culture?"
Have you ever heard a Rays player complain because his boss is Jewish?
You don't even know if they are Zionists and you already put them in the same breath as Zionist American elites. Why do you have to generalize every accomplished Jew to your conspiracy of Jewish control over the world?
Michael, it's news whenever a minority achieves great power. We talk openly about the representation of women, of blacks, of Hispanics, of WASP males, why not of Jews?
And in addition to the sociological dimension, there's the political angle–
"And how much of political-campaign contributions are coming from people who have religious attachment to an expansionist country halfway around the world?"
I'd like to know the answer to that. Wouldn't you?
