Well good luck with that Phil–the world seems very interested in what you have to say.
After all, you DO make a living on your writing – - -don't you?

I believe the world is quite interested in what Phil has to say. Or at least it would be if it weren't so difficult these days to speak truth to (economic) power. It may have to wait until the next paradigm shift, but eventually the media will start covering the dual-loyalty elephant in the living room and Phil will be seen as a prophet.

Maybe Wall Street should bail itself out since the rest of us have zilch or should we just ship our children to work as coolies in China--oh that's right, they can stay right here and work for slave wages for more casino capitalism and war mongering services.

Maybe since Jews have so much of the nation's wealth relative to their demographic number in the whole population they should
pay our annual welfare checks to Israel.

The reason that jewish élites traditionally welcomed conspicuous consumption on a level other élites found vulgar is this: when you don't have a landed aristocracy, your élite has to mark its status all the more emphatically in other ways.

As a liberal, I support Affirmative-Action to help out the racially suppressed poor. The value of keeping Affirmative-Action programs is on the wane as blacks go mainstream and now
70% are Middle Class or better. There is a tough core of about 30% of blacks (Africa-Americans, whatever) that are trapped in a cycle of poverty and gangs and drug culture, etc. Blacks make up 13% of the USA's 305 million people, which is 39,650,00 and the number stuck in poverty is 1,189,000.

Jews compose 1.7% of America's 305 million, so that's 5,185,000, yet they are vastly over-represented in terms of the wealthy, political leaders, CEOs, owners of media companies, etc. etc.

If we can create government programs to help broaden the representation of the under-represented, is it not also in our interest to limit the representation of the over-represented? A dis-affirmative action campaign for jews? Just a thought.

I wouldn't even think it if so many jews weren't zionists who have a FIRST loyalty to israel.

11,890,000 for blacks stuck in poverty – sorry for the error

Maybe anti semitism in America really is dead. One would think that with the financial crisis, with the huge number of rich Jews on Wall Street, that a nativist, anti-semitic populist movement would emerge.

It hasn't. Maybe, after 2000 years of traveling, Jews in America have been utterly accepted into their society.

Colin:
I agree, and also note that some (many?) have not accepted that they are accepted.

Technical correction. These White Eastern European Pretenders (WEEP's)have only been traveling for a thousand years. Don't you people read Ethnic Ashkenazism Against Zionism?

What is the story of Jewish influence? From what I can tell, Jewish power became a visible issue in the years following WWII, and became more pronounced in the 1960s onward. Is that right? If so, how much credit should Jewish values get for the radical changes that have taken place in the nation in the last sixty years? The nation is socially, culturally and demographically very different than it was fifteen years ago. Is George Bush solely responsible for the polls that regularly state that 80% or more of the population believes that the nation is on the wrong track?

As it stands, the nation is nothing more than a social experiment that has been torn from its roots, and ruled by an elite that chooses losers and winners by cronyism and arbitrary preference. For the vast majority, their homeland is gradually becoming little more than a workcamp to be populated by endless waves of unassimilable immigrants who are willing to work for less than the previous group, or who will fight as mercenaries in exchange for citizenship.

Is that what we want? Is that what happens when an ethnic minority rules? Are the WASP elites more responsible for the changes? Have the native-born simply failed the elites, making themselves expendable, and change necessary? Are we facing whim or consequence? Who decides?
