Random thoughts #12

Happy Thanksgiving: The Pilgrims were socialists and almost starved to death.

I believe that merchants look at my credit card purchases to decide what to quit stocking.

Did you watch the third Republican debate? Me neither.

Every democrat in the Senate voted against the $14.3 billion to Israel that was to come out of the crazy funding bill for the IRS.

Jews make up only 2 percent of the population but suffer 60 percent of the hate crimes. Yet the media basically ignores this in favor of hate crimes against blacks and searches high and low for Islamophobia.

I was talking to a close friend who while defending the right of Israel to defend itself was critical of the civilian casualty figures in Gaza. I told him that I did not believe the figures coming out of either side and it was interesting that he and the media had blindly parroted the figures given by Hamas. 

Hamas is saying that the majority of those killed are women and children. I rather doubt that. But the world has apparently forgotten the Israeli women and children killed.

The god of the Jews is the god of the Old Testament. Eye for an eye. Tooth for a tooth. Vengeance is mine saith the lord.

The god of modern western civilization is the god of the New Testament. That god is a more whimpy god.

Is either Muslim or Zionist right?

The radical Islamists quote the Koran to justify their hatred of infidels. The Zionists quote the Talmud to justify their hatred of Muslims who hate the Jews. It is akin to the confederates justifying slavery by quoting the Bible while the abolitionists quoted the same Bible.

It has always puzzled me why American blacks adopted the religion of the slavers.

I don’t particularly care for country music. But at a Georgia game they played The Zac Brown Band’s “Chicken Fried” during a break. It resonated with me as did Jason Alden’s “Don’t try that in a small town.”

I did not see any reporting of pro-Hamas demonstrations on southern campuses. Are the antisemites only in the northeast?

I saw no pro-Hamas business school or engineering school students interviewed. Nor professors. Only in the “humanities”.

During a radio interview, I was asked why so many students now looked favorably on socialism. The answer is simple. They have never had to work for a living – and neither had their leftist professors.

Want to solve poverty? Its really simple. Finish high school, get a job, get married and have babies. In that order. Less than 5% are poor. Deviate and your chances to be poor skyrocket.


Are progressives ever positive?

DEI stands for diversity, equity and inclusion (except for Jews and Asians). Ever wonder why its “equity” and not “equality”?

The news yesterday was all breathless about a terrorist attack in upstate New York. The coverage went on and on and was never ending. Then they found out it was not a terrorist attack. Never mind.

Do you believe in God?

I saw a woman wearing a t-shirt that said “The Bible said it. I believe it.” Does she believe every word? If so, how does she manage that?

How many religions are there in the world. There are the “main” ones: Christianity (Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism) Judaism (Orthodox, Reform, Hasidic), Buddhism, Islam (Sunni and Shia) and Hinduism (Jainism and Sikhism). There are all the East Asian ones: Taoism, Confucianism, Shinto). Then there are all the cults, folk religions and various other ones. I presume that each considers theirs as the only truth and all the others are heretics, infidels or worse. Which are correct? I believe that they all are.
