There is a time when one must be silent and there are times when one must speak out against what he knows is morally wrong; this is one of those times.
Those of you who are daily readers of this blog know that I voted for Ron Paul in the Michigan primary. I did this mainly because of my personal Christian (as lousy as I am at that practice) convictions and my anti-statist convictions; believe me when I tell you, I know full well about Ron Paul’s position of Israel, I know full well about his idiotic position of terrorism and foreign policy. I do not support that aspect of Ron Paul at all. However, I was just not willing to throw out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak.
I am a very open-minded person, anyone who has followed my political blogging career, knows that. However, I just will not tolerate blind hatred of Jews, Israel and its right to exist as its own state. I am a born-again Christian of 29 years. I happen to accept, believe, and will defend to my dying day; that land of Israel is for God’s chosen people. I realize that some people might have a hard time believing that; but it is the truth and I would be willing to spend time in jail for the very purpose, if it ever became needful to do so.
Therefore, I am removing all links on this website to “The American Conservative.” I respect the opinions of Rod Dreher and of Daniel Larison. However, for me to have a link on this website to that website might signal to some that I totally agree with the editorial board with their position on Israel. Let me state emphatically in the strongest terms that I can present to my readers. Anyone who assumes that I agree with the idiotic position of the “American Conservative” is a moronic fool and does not know me or values that were instilled in me is a child in the Church.
The reason I have decided to this is that Scott McConnell, who is one of the founders of The American Conservative took to the magazine’s blog and boasted of the fact that he participated in the Anti-Semitic “Occupy AIPAC” demonstration in Washington D.C. This is inexcusable in my opinion, the occupy movement has been a hotbed of hatred, class warfare and Anti-Semitism. If Mr. McConnell believes that the occupy movement is even remotely a Conservative movement or a pro-American movement then he has a serious problem.
If Rod Dreher and of Daniel Larison should ever decide to leave the American Conservative and blog elsewhere I will consider linking to their posting and writing about it on this blog. Until this, I will not be linking to any of their writings anymore. Because there is one thing that I will never support and that is Jew hatred and that is what this “occupy APIAC” is all about, hatred of Israel, hatred of Jews and hatred if everything related to that — including American’s capitalistic system.
Furthermore, I have removed Ron Paul’s graphic and link to his site from this blog. As much as I agree with Ron Paul’s federalism, as much as I agree with Ron Paul’s disagreement with the Wilsonian foreign policy crowd. I do not want to be associated with anyone who has associations with Jew haters and Ron Paul is often lauded by the American Conservative magazine.
I am an avid supporter of freedom of speech and diversity of political opinion, but there are just some political opinion and some kinds of speech that very unsuitable for mainstream consumption. The American Conservative is one of those publications and I do not wish to be associated with it. In other words, I would not link to neo-Nazi website on this blog, and I will not link to a website or publication that shares these sorts of views when it comes to Jews and Israel.
I believe that Ron Paul does not win Presidential elections for a very good reason, and this that I have highlighted is one of them. For the record, I do not know that Ron Paul totally agrees with the nonsense spewed at this magazine or its website. However, his position of Israel speaks volumes. Again, my vote for Ron Paul was a protest vote against the big government statism that has become the norm in the Republican Party. Nothing further, than that, should be derived, from my voting for Ron Paul.
I just will not support bigots, hate mongers, or racists; I was not raised to think like that, anyone who might have assumed anything other than that which I have written above; was quite highly mistaken. My battle on this blog is limited to the far liberal left in this Country and its politics, how they poison the minds of the black community and other minorities as well. My battle is not one of skin color at all. Nor is it against the Jews or Israel. If anyone happened to come to this blog and assumed that, you were wrong and I apologize for the confusion.
This whole rant is based on the fact that McConnell attended a demonstration protesting AIPAC, one that you merely assert is anti-Semitic without any evidence? You’ll have to do better than that.
I really do not, at least not to please you. I have long known that the American Conservative’s position on Israel has been one of the far-left for a very long time. Besides that, Palastine’s sole goal is to have Israel pushed into the sea and the Jewish people eliminated; and The American Conservative supports those dogs. So, they’re anti-Semitic. Period, end of story, learn it, like it and deal with it!
