This recent “discovery” is an outrage that is clearly motivated by anti-semitism and a desire to discredit the Jewish state:
[A]rchaeologists have announced that ruins long thought to be of an ancient synagogue are actually the remains of a palace built by Arab caliphs 1,300 years ago.
The site, on the banks of the Sea of Galilee, was identified as a synagogue in the 1950s because archaeologists found a carving of a menorah, a seven-armed candelabra that is a Jewish symbol. But scholars said in a report published this week that the identification was an error, and that the site was a winter palace used by the caliphs of the Umayyad dynasty, the same rulers who built Jerusalem’s gold-capped Dome of the Rock.
I’ve been waiting all day for a press release from AIPAC on this, but nothing!
If you need to hire a new political contributor, you can’t do better than a guy who called an out-going Supreme Court Justice David Souter a “goat-fucking child molester.”
Dennis Kucinich has decided to vote for the health care bill after all. He is holding a press conference today where he is widely expected to announce his vote.
From the Unhinged and Historically Ignorant Political Rhetoric department at IHWYJS comes this story: Republican Congressman Steve King of Iowa wants to see an American version of Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution. The reason? To stop health care reform, of course.
Speaking to the Huffington Post shortly after his speech, King declared that a peaceful uprising, a la the successful overthrowing of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia on the streets of Prague in 1989 “would be fine with me.”
“Fill this city up, fill this city, jam this place full so that they can’t get in, they can’t get out and they will have to capitulate to the will of the American people,” he said.
“So this is just like Prague under communist rule?” the Huffington Post asked.
“Oh yeah, it is very, very close,” King replied. “It is the nationalization of our liberty and the federal government taking our liberty over. So there are a lot of similarities there” [bold added].
If he were alive today, instead of thrown out of a window by the Soviets in 1948, I’m sure Jan Masaryk would agree with Mr. King.
Christopher Hitchens today makes a clear case that the Catholic church is being led by a criminal:
The Roman Catholic Church is headed by a mediocre Bavarian bureaucrat once tasked with the concealment of the foulest iniquity, whose ineptitude in that job now shows him to us as a man personally and professionally responsible for enabling a filthy wave of crime. Ratzinger himself may be banal, but his whole career has the stench of evil—a clinging and systematic evil that is beyond the power of exorcism to dispel. What is needed is not medieval incantation but the application of justice—and speedily at that.
It was, of course, Ratzinger himself who, as a cardinal, wrote letters to every bishop threatening excommunication if any of them referred their priests to the police for crimes of sexual abuse.
Just like Jesus would do!
It begins something like this:
Rupert Murdoch is a Godzilla-sized propaganda shunt in the shape of a dildo jammed up the interior of humanity, pumping in a daily dose of the trance-inducing drug BOFTRAP — bend over for the rich and powerful.
In a recent post I was researching the alma maters of the Texas State School board. One of their illustrious members has a degree from Pat Robertson’s Regent University Law School.
While viewing the school’s homepage, I couldn’t help but notice that they recently received an award. Congratulations, Regent College. If I were going to attend an online Christian University, I would certainly consider your fine institution.
And I’m also impressed that your law school’s website was ranked 5th in the nation which leaves you “tied with Harvard Law, according to an independent research study conducted at Georgetown University” that examined “over a dozen objective design criteria.” Not many law schools can compete with Harvard Law’s web designers. Hats off to you.
