Stop Wasting Your Life Hating the Jews

Posted by Playful Walrus on Monday, July 06, 2009 1:00:00 PM
Writing about "the Jews" doing this or that to you flags you as a paranoid loser.  Seriously.  I mean, how many successful, well-adjusted, sober people do you ever hear rambling on about how "the Jews" are screwing things up?

There is an exception: Jewish apostles of Jesus (who all died almost 2000 years ago) could write about "the Jews" as a distinction between Jewish authorities of their day in contrast to followers of Jesus, many of whom were Jewish.  There were Jewish leaders in those days who were conspiring against Jesus and his followers, but it wasn’t because they were Jewish.  It was because they were in power.

But today, those who are fixated on the Jews as either the source of their personal problems or as part of a nefarious conspiracy are in the company of:
  • Islamofascist tyrants
  • Islamofascist terrorists
  • Black supremacist wackjobs
  • Hood-wearing clowns
  • Shaved-head gangsters with pale skin
  • And let’s not forget Obama’s mentor and longtime pastor, Jeremiah Wright.
No, I’m not a Jew, either by name, birth, or religion.

Yes, I believe Jesus Christ will return to judge the quick and dead.

Let's get something straight right here.  If you claim to worship, follow, love, or simply admire Jesus, then know that Jesus was - and is - a Jew.  His mother was Jewish.  His custodial father was Jewish.  He kept Jewish customs.  He quoted the Jewish Scriptures.  He was thoroughly Jewish, and was the greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth.

Let's get something else straight.  Jews are not the reason that most Palestinians don't have the life they want.

Jews are not the reason YOU don’t have the life you want.

To speak of the "Jews in banking" or the "Jews in Hollywood" like they are some monolith is laughable.  Jews - by name, birth, or practicing religion - are a diverse bunch, some of whom dislike each other very much.

If you are one of those people who blames "the Jews" for your problems, please try to get some perspective.  Get some therapy and perhaps medication, if needed.  You have a lot of more control over your own life than you are apparently willing to exercise.  It is just easier for you to blame someone else for your failures than accept that.  I'd rather see you happy and productive than having you end up going on a shooting rampage.  So please... get some help.

Don't Blame Talk Radio

Posted by Playful Walrus on Thursday, June 11, 2009 12:00:00 PM
Talk radio is not to blame when some nutcase starts shooting innocent people.  "Right wing" talk radio has scores of millions of listeners.  If talk radio was to blame for this kind of murder, you'd see a heckuva lot more of it.

This latest nutcase murderer was hateful (and probably violent) long before the rise of conservative talk radio.
