THERE IS SOME EARTHSHAKING CHANGE IN JEWISH VOTING….NEW STATS INDICATE THAT AT LEAST HALF OF JEWISH REGISTERED VOTERS WILL SUPPORT THE ROMNEY TICKET…IF THIS IS TRUE ALL I CAN SAY IS WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK…HUH?….RSK
Decades ago, the sociographer Milton Himmelfarb coined the aphorism that “American Jews earn like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans.” And his words ring as true today as ever. Surveys show that roughly 70 percent of American Jews intend to cast their ballots for President Barack Obama’s reelection next month.
Himmelfarb’s quip indicated that American Jews abjure their economic interests in favor of their liberal values. Certainly it is true that for American Jews to vote for Obama next month they must act against their economic interests.
Obama’s economic policies have taken a huge toll on the economic fortunes of American Jews who invest disproportionately in the stock market. His nationalization of the college loan business has given universities impetus to raise tuition rates still further, thus dooming more young American Jews to start their adult lives under a mountain of debt. And it isn’t at all clear how they will be able to pay off this debt since under Obama half of recent college graduates cannot find jobs.

Another Tack: If only we were Turks When it’s properly motivated, the UN can react with lightning speed. It just has to want to, as in the case of the errant mortar shells from the Syrian civil war that inadvertently overfly the border and come down with an occasional thud on the Turkish side. No lucid […]

Aleppo, a city where Jews and Muslims had lived together for centuries, exploded with anti-Jewish violence. […]

But the Veep is also the elder Democratic statesman on international affairs, and in between his snickers, guffaws and “malarkey,” he shed newsworthy light on Obama Administration foreign policy.

– The Daily Caller – http://dailycaller.com – The Clinton-Obama rift After Bill Clinton delivered his electrifying speech at the Democratic National Convention, many political observers concluded that the Clintons and Obama’s had called a truce to their long-running feud. Under their armistice, Clinton agreed to make speeches and appear in TV commercials for Obama, acting […]

By the time the ineffable Joe Biden took center stage Thursday night, Obama operatives had already erected a façade of mendacity […]

Song lyrics to Be A Clown, written by Cole Porter

Be a clown, be a clown,
All the world loves a clown.
Act a fool, play the calf,
And you’ll always have the last laugh.
Wear the cap and the bells
And you’ll rate with all the great swells
If you become a doctor, folks’ll face you with dread,
If you become a dentist, they’ll be glad when you’re dead,
You’ll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head,
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.

Be a clown, be a clown,
All the world loves a clown.
Be a crazy buffoon
And the demoiselles’ll all swoon.

Be a clown, be a clown,
All the world loves a clown.
Show ‘em tricks, tell ‘em jokes
And you’ll only stop with top folks.
Be a crack jackanapes
And they’ll imitate you like apes.

Be a clown, be a clown,
All the world loves a clown.
If you just make ‘em roar
Watch your mountebank account soar.

Be a clown, be a clown,
All the world loves a clown.
Be a poor silly ass
And you’ll always travel first-class,
Give ‘em quips, give ‘em fun,
And they’ll pay to say you’re A-1.
If you become a farmer, you’ve the weather to buck,
If you become a gambler, you’ll be stuck with your luck,
But jack you’ll never lack if you can quack like a duck
(Quack, quack, quack, quack)
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ Civilization is law. A civilization makes its own laws and enforces them. And it views those who do not abide by those laws as lawless savages. Who the civilized lawkeepers and who the lawless savages is a matter of perspective. From the perspective of our rulers, law is defined by multilateral human rights commitments. […]
