Re: Newt Gingrich: Demagogue, Pseudointellectual

Newt is just another neocon. Neocons control the xians and jews who
hate the muzzies and those against interventionism in the middle east.

> Sunday, December 11, 2011Newt Gingrich: Demagogue, PseudointellectualPosted by Sheldon Richman at6:59 AMUpdated December 12Newt Gingrich says the Palestinian people were invented. That's very funny coming from a man who has reinvented himself a few times in his life. We didn't need more evidence of Gingrich's status as a rank demagogue and pseudointellectual, but he's furnished it anyway.
> Gingrich, in his typically arrogant manner, says this:And I think that we've had an invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs, and were historically part of the Arab community. And they had a chance to go many places.By "chance to go many places" he means that while being expelled from their homes by Zionist/Israeli forces in 1947-48, they were free to relocate in any Arab country they chose. If I were to mimic Gingrich's style, I'd say that's a pro-FOUND-ly racist statement. Since these people are generic Arabs, why should it matter that someone else decides that they may no longer remain in Palestine where they and their families have lived and worked for a thousand or more years? (In the early twentieth century, incidentally, leading Zionist activists and scholars thought the Palestinians Arabs were descendants of the ancient Hebrews.)
> We could as easily say:And I think that we've had an invented Pennsylvanian people, who are in fact Americans, and were historically part of the American community. And they had a chance to go many places.Even if we concede, contrary to the evidence, that Palestinian consciousness is a rather late development, so what? It would not be the first time that oppression of a group of people has forged group consciousness. Indeed, Theodor Herzl, the founder of the Zionist movement, was an assimilated Jew in Austria until the trial ofAlfred Dreyfusin France. Herzl's response to that spectacle was to say, in effect: It's the anti-Semites who make us Jews.
> In other words, Gingrich makes no sense when he suggests, as he did at theDecember 10 debate, that since the Arabs of Palestine didn't call themselves Palestinians until the 1970s, their uprooting from the land was perfectly okay. How does that follow?
> On the particular historical question of Palestinian consciousness,Wikipediais instructive. Also see Jeremy Sapienza'sblog poston the subject. And here's something Gingrich might want to ponder: the dialect known asPalestinian Arabic. The invented people have their own language!
> Here's what theEncyclopedia Brittanicahas to say:Although the Arabs of Palestine had been creating and developing a Palestinian identity for about 200 years, the idea that Palestinians form a distinct people is relatively recent. The Arabs living in Palestine had never had a separate state. Until the establishment of Israel, the term Palestinian was used by Jews and foreigners to describe the inhabitants of Palestine and had only begun to be used by the Arabs themselves at the turn of the 20th century; at the same time, most saw themselves as part of the larger Arab or Muslim community. The Arabs of Palestine began widely using the term Palestinian starting in the pre-World War I period to indicate the nationalist concept of a Palestinian people. But after 1948and even more so after 1967for Palestinians themselves the term came to signify not only a place of origin but, more importantly, a sense of a shared past and future in the form of a Palestinian state. [Emphasis added.]Not to pile on, but in 1921 -- more than 50 years before the Palestinian people were supposedly invented -- something called theSyrian-Palestinian Congressmet "to influence the terms of the proposed League of Nations mandate over the region." The word Palestine (or a form of it) goes back toancient times.
> As theWashington Post's fact-checkerput it:But Gingrich's claim that "Palestinian" did not become a common term until 1977 is bizarre. The very [1921] League of Nations mandate that he mentions was called "The British Mandate for Palestine." The text of the declaration mentions the word "Palestine" 45 times and "Palestinian" twice.Speaking of inventing people, Gingrich might pick up Shlomo Sand's excellent book,The Invention of the Jewish People. Sand, a professor history at Tel Aviv University, shows that most national groups were essentially invented.
> SeeRichard Silverstein's excellent commentary.

Republicans are doing what they do best: playing chicken with our economy. The clock is running out, and Republicans have a right-wing plan that effectively holds the middle class payroll tax cut extension hostage to Tea Party demands.

Our country can't take much more of this.

Now, Tea Party extremists are on their way to anointing Newt Gingrich as their candidate. One thing is clear -- next November, we need Barack Obama in the White House and a strong Democratic Majority at his side to ensure that America can move past these petty Tea Party games.

That means we can't fall short for this critical year-end Federal Election Commission report. We need to be halfway to our $1 million goal by Friday.

Help us stay on track for our $1 Million year-end goal. Donate $3 or more today and you will be invited to join our political strategy call with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and I this Thursday.

Poll after poll shows that voters are rejecting the Newt-Boehner-Cantor Tea Party Republicans. But it's up to all of us to step up and take them on.

We need 25 seats to win back the House for President Obama. We can reach it, but only if we the have money in the bank to fight Republican attacks.

Help win back the House for President Obama.

Whoever wins the Republican nomination, we know they'll push the same agenda Tea Party Republicans are pushing in the House right now -- drastically cutting Medicare, slashing unemployment benefits and throwing the middle class under the bus to protect tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil.

We can't let that happen. Pitch in just $3 right now >>

Re: 2011.10.28 DETROIT - MODEL FOR THE FUTURE? - NOT!

The bottom line, is that there is no socialist-elitist Democrat who is going to bring prosperity to any community, State, region or on the federal level. The socialist-elitist Democrats have not brought any new ideas or thoughts to the table in over seventy years. It is a broken down simplistic, "Help Your Fellow Man" theory that again, is broken and will not work in any Nation, State or community. It has failed miserably, but yet socialist Elitist Democrats, (e.g.; they are either Moonbats or they are Anti-American, one of the two and there is no other explanation for anyone being a Democrat anymore) continue to believe that Marxism, Maoism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, Communism, et. al, are all really wonderful systems of social, economic and political justice, we just haven't had the right folks implementing these systems yet.

A quick check of google, indicates that Detroit has NEVER had a conservative mayor!

Don't think this could not happen elsewhere.

DETROIT - A MODEL FOR THE FUTURE?

Frosty Wooldridge (born 1947) is a US journalist,
writer, environmentalist, traveler.

DETROIT
By Frosty Wooldridge

For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990, I worked in Detroit, Michigan. I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs and human depravity. I watched entire city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses and school yards. Trash everywhere!

Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it, and ignored it. Tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands today exist on federal welfare, free housing, and food stamps!

With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed 8 to 10 and in one case, one woman birthed 24 children as reported by the Detroit Free Press, all on American taxpayer dollars.

A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom wanted. I saw Lyndon Johnson's 'Great Society' flourish in Detroit . If you give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for doing nothing.

Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America, outside of Richard Daley in Chicago, rode Detroit down to its knees... He set the benchmark for cronyism, incompetence, and arrogance. As a black man, he said, "I am the MFIC." The IC meant "in charge".

You can figure out the rest. Detroit became a majority black city with 67 percent African-Americans.

As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life in another city or state.

Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today. At the same time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city for the free government hand outs, so much so, that Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan, but most work in Detroit. As the whites moved out, the Muslims moved in.

As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit suffers so much shoplifting that grocery stores no longer operate in many inner city locations. You could cut the racial tension in the air with a knife! Detroit may be one of our best examples of multiculturalism: pure dislike, and total separation from America.

Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan, paid for by Saudi Arabia oil money. High school flunk out rates reached 76 percent last June, according to NBC's Brian Williams. Classrooms resemble more foreign countries than America. English? Few speak it! The city features a 50 percent illiteracy rate and growing.

Unemployment hit 28.9 percent in 2009 as the auto industry vacated the city. In Time Magazine's October 4, 2009, "The Tragedy of Detroit: How a great city fell, and how it can rise again," I choked on the writer's description of what happened. "If Detroit had been ravaged by a hurricane, and submerged by a ravenous flood, we'd know a lot more about it,"
Said Daniel Okrent. "If drought and carelessness had spread brush fires across the city, we'd see it on the evening news every night." Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it, if natural disaster had devastated the city that was once the living proof of American prosperity, the rest of the country might take notice.

But Detroit, once our fourth largest city, now 11th and slipping rapidly, has had no such luck.

Its disaster has long been a slow unwinding that seemed to remove it from the rest of the country. Even the death rattle that in the past year emanated from its signature industry brought more attention to the auto executives than to the people of the city, who had for so long been victimized by their dreadful decisions making.

As Coleman Young's corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kickbacks and illegality permeating his administration. I witnessed the city's death from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people out of every sector of decaying Detroit.

"By any quantifiable standard, the city is on life support. Detroit 's treasury is $300 million short of the funds needed to provide the barest municipal services," Okrent said. "The school system, which six years ago was compelled by the teachers' union to reject a philanthropist's offer of $200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in receivership.

The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain unsolved. Three years after Katrina devastated New Orleans , unemployment in that city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit today, the unemployment rate is 28.9%. That's worth spelling out: twenty-eight point nine percent.

At the end of Okrent's report, and he will write a dozen more about Detroit, he said, "That's because the story of Detroit is not simply one of a great city's collapse, it's also about the erosion of the industries that helped build the country we know today. The ultimate fate of Detroit will reveal much about the character of America in the 21st century.

If what was once the most prosperous manufacturing city in the nation has been brought to its knees, what does that say about our recent past? And if it can't find a way to get up, what does that say about America 's future?

As you read in my book review of Chris Steiner's book,"$20 Per Gallon", the auto industry won't come back. Immigration will keep pouring more and more uneducated third world immigrants from the Middle East into Detroit, thus creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony in America. If 50 percent illiteracy continues, we will see more homegrown terrorists spawned out of the Muslim ghettos of Detroit. Illiteracy plus Islam equals walking human bombs.

You have already seen it in Madrid, Spain, London, England, and Paris, France with train bombings, subway bombings and riots. As their numbers grow, so will their power to enact their barbaric Sharia Law that negates republican forms of government, first amendment rights, and subjugates women to the lowest rungs on the human ladder. We will see more honor killings by upset husbands, fathers and brothers that demand subjugation by their daughters, sisters and wives. Muslims prefer beheadings of women to scare the hell out of any other members of their sect from straying. Multiculturalism: what a perfect method to kill our language, culture, country and way of life.

I PRAY EVERYONE WHO READS THIS REALIZES THAT IF WE DON'T STAND UP AND SCREAM AT WASHINGTON AND OUR STATE, CITY, AND LOCAL LEADERS, THIS IS WHAT AWAITS THE REST OF AMERICA.

IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A BUNCH OF HOOEY AND YOU FEEL NO DUTY TO FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO STAND AND FIGHT!

LORD HAVE MERCY ON AMERICA
