What a strange post.

Who is saying that the Jews are not a wonderfully gifted people?

Can I not be for my people and yet still admire the many accomplishments of the Jews?

It is part of the strange karma of our times that you hear the statement that I am pro Anglo-Celtic as somehow being anti-Semitic. If I were you, I would meditate long and hard on how it has happened that you make this strange and twisted connection.

If you were to hear somebody from Japan say that he is pro Japanese culture, would you automatically assume that he is an anti-Semite. Meditate on this.

Also, I notice that you have in your list of Jews who have made our country great the name of Leon Trotsky. I find this astonishing, and very much part of the strange disjointed spirit of our time. Trotsky was a major force in establishing the Bolsheviks in Russia, a party that committed 25,000,000 political murders.

To say that Trotsky was one of the people who made America great is like saying that Joseph Goebbels was one of many Europeans who made Europe great.

Don't forget Andrew Viterbi and Irwin M. Jacobs, the Jewish founders of QUALCOMM, pioneers whose work on CDMA is going to be talked about and used for centuries.

Idiots who take racial sides are insecure, fearful, aggrieved because they can't self-examine, and paranoid. Most are harmless nut cases, but the dangers are there.

And it's so easy to disprove their goofy theories--the human race shares about 99.999999999999% of DNA. Heck, we share about 98% of our DNA with out first cousins, the chimpanzees.

E_g is (hopefully) a harmless, drug or liquor addled eccentric with no audience. He is thriving on the attention he gets here, but he is best ignored.
