Tommy Sotomayor, Are Black Woman The Worse Stewards of …

by Bill Chadwick I walk alone most every night, Beneath the stars that shine so bright, Bright as the eyes of you. And when the sky comes falling down, And there is darkness all around, All around, I'll be looking for you. Lonely, I look at the green, flowing meadow, Wondering what I am to do, Sun going down and, the trees cast their shadow, In the shadow and the mist, I remember the last kiss of you. And when the skies are, once more, blue, I get that old longing, too, To be held in the arms of you. SOLO And when the skies are, once more, blue, I get that old longing, too, To be held in the arms of you,

Faded lens and broken scar, feels no compassion Pale blue car with tales of gold, in the wrong direction And I stand the prison floor, my thoughts are changing locked in silence, and I see forever now, there's nothing left of you Time has crashed again, fading promises remain and the times that pass have changed, needless conversation makes me crazy and I can't seem to find that looking glass, of you When the ages come and go, like sees the passage the empty threat has poised us all to see the madness just hand the table flow, his ever hand to guide the soldiers as I try reason it all, calling out to you My eyes crashing blank, visons of you have betrayed me try to pass the mate, knowing if all that's he's missed and hated and I can't seem to find that looking glass maybe that's only made to last when my fingers and thumb start to scatter fade of you... of you Time has crashed again, fading promises remain and the times that pass have changed, needless conversation makes me crazy and I can't seem to find that looking glass maybe that's only made to last when my fingers and thumb start to scatter fade

Indian-American group condemns Ann Coulter’s swipe at …

The head of a top Indian-American advocacy group on Wednesday condemned Ann Coulters comments that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley doesnt understand America because shes an immigrant with roots in India.

Its a demographic death march that the Republican Party is on. This is a country of immigrants, said Sanjay Puri, chairman and founder of the U.S.-India Political Action Committee.

Story Continued Below

Puri noted that not only was Haley born in America to immigrant parents, but Coulters ancestors were likely also immigrants to the United States. He said that the comments are offensive for presuming that immigrants dont understand American history.

On Tuesday, Coulter appeared on the Fox Business Network and condemned Haley for calling for the Confederate battle flag to be taken down from outside the State Capitol. I would really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican, Coulter said, but added that the South Carolina governor is an immigrant and does not understand Americas history.

Haley was, in fact, born in South Carolina in 1972. Her parents immigrated to the U.S. from the Indian state of Punjab.

Coulters comments were a sharp departure from the views of fellow Republicans such as Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Donald Trump, all of whom have agreed with the governor that its time for the flag to come down.

She emphasized that, though she is from Connecticut, she believes the flag is an important part of Southern history.

The Confederate flag were talking about never flew over an official Confederate building, Coulter said. It was a battle flag. It is to honor Robert E. Lee. And anyone who knows the first thing about military history knows that there is no greater army that ever took the field than the Confederate Army.

Coulter said the fact that Dylann Roof, the alleged killer of nine African Americans in last weeks attack in South Carolina, showcased the flag in photos is irrelevant. The shooting, she said, had nothing to do with the Confederate flag. He was also wearing a Golds Gym T-shirt.

The conservative pundit appeared on the show to promote her new book Adios, America: The Lefts Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole, which was published June 1.

Ann Coulter: Immigrants are worse than ISIL – POLITICO

Ann Coulter said in an interview set to air Tuesday night that immigrants to the United States are to be feared more than the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS.

Appearing on the TV network Fusion, Coulter told host Jorge Ramos, If you dont want to be killed by ISIS, dont go to Syria. If you dont want to be killed by a Mexican, theres nothing I can tell you.

Story Continued Below

When asked whether she thinks Latino immigrants are biologically predisposed to crime, the conservative writer and activist said, I think there are cultures that are obviously deficient. And if they werent deficient, you wouldnt be sitting in America interviewing me Id be sitting in Mexico.

You fled that culture because there are a lot of problems with that culture, Coulter told Ramos. We can share our culture with other nations without bringing all of their people here. When you bring the people here, you bring those cultures here. That includes honor killings, it includes uncles raping their nieces, it includes dumping litter all over, it includes not paying your taxes, it includes paying bribes to government officials. That isnt our culture.

America is the best in the world, and were about to lose it, said Coulter. She appeared on the show to promote her new book Adios, America! The Lefts Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole.

No country has ever had the sort of respect for women that Anglo-America has had, and that is going out the door, Coulter added.

Ramos did not respond directly to Coulters comments in the video clips available online.

Later in the broadcast, during a question-and-answer session, an undocumented immigrant who has lived in the United States asked Coulter for a hug, as a sign of my humanity and yours.

At first Coulter turned her down because she said she was getting over the flu, but then when the questioner said she didnt mind, the conservative writer again turned her down and asked her to get on with the question.

The comments were first reported by TV Newser.

Comment: Ann Coulter is not an anti-Semite – Opinion …

During the course of the second Republican presidential debate, Ann Coulter, the well-known commentator, writer, speaker and provocateur, tweeted:

How many fing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?

Her explanation was that she had grown frustrated with the candidates remarks that concentrated on things nearly all Republicans agree on admiration of Ronald Reagan, opposition to abortion and support for Israel and ignored what she considers the biggest domestic problem facing America: immigration, both legal (under current law) and illegal. She regarded the candidates remarks as pandering to various Republican constituencies and tweeted out a series of critical and angry comments, including the one about Jews, in response to repeated pledges to support Israel.

She was rightly condemned by Republicans and Democrats alike for the tweet. How could she not be? It was indefensible. And it did damage to Republicans, conservatives and supporters of Israel.

But that should not be the end of the discussion.

The tweet raises a number of important questions. These include whether Ann Coulter is an anti-Semite, who we should label an anti-Semite and who the enemies of Jews are in America today.

The first is the easiest. Ann Coulter is not an anti-Semite. Those Jews who think she is point to two pieces of evidence: the recent tweet and something she said in a 2007 interview with Donny Deutsch, a TV personality who happens to be Jewish.

In that interview, she said that America (and presumably the world) would be better if everybody were a Christian. Deutsch asked if that meant all Jews should become Christian. Coulter said yes and Deutsch was offended. He was further offended when she labeled Christians, including herself, and Jews who became Christians perfected Jews.

Against this is a lifetime of defending Jews and Israel. Every mention of Jews or Israel Ive read in any of her books is a spirited defense of Jews and Israel, or an attack on those who attack Jews and Israel. I should add, for what its worth, she has been to my home twice for Shabbat dinner. Indeed, she has said that experiencing Shabbat and reading the explanation for it in my book, The Ten Commandments: Still the Best Moral Code, have moved her to start observing a Sabbath. I guess you can say she might become a perfected Christian.

Her remarks to Deutsch were hardly anti-Semitic.

First, both common sense and Judaism demand that we judge people by their behavior, not by their religious beliefs. Believing that the world would be better if everyone were a Christian hardly renders one a bigot, let alone a Jew hater. Everyone who holds a doctrine believes the world be better if everyone embraced their doctrine. Dont secular liberals believe that the world would be better if everyone were a secular liberal?

Second, if theological beliefs render one a hater, most religious Jews would have to be considered haters. That would include all those Orthodox Jews who consider Christianity idol worship and therefore wont enter a church. And it would include all Jews who believe, as I do, that the Jews are the chosen people.

We need to be very careful before labeling people anti-Semites. This is especially so with regard to Christians who believe that the only way to salvation is through belief in Christ. The fact is that the Jews and Israels best friends in America are largely those evangelical Christians who believe that only faith in Jesus saves.

I have worked with evangelical Christians for 20 years, regularly speak at their conventions and churches, and can attest to the sincerity of their support for Jews - its all the more remarkable given how much contempt many Jews heap on them.

And no, they dont support Israel in order to hasten the apocalypse and the Second Coming. People who dislike the Christian right have simply made that up in order to discredit their support. There is nothing in the New Testament that suggests this. Evangelical leaders such as Pastor John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel, have said repeatedly that the timing of the New Testament prediction of Armageddon is solely in Gods hands. It is impossible for Christians to do anything to hasten the return of Jesus.

Evangelicals support Israel primarily because they believe Gods promise to Abraham in Genesis that He will bless those who bless the Jews and curse those who curse the Jews. They also believe that Israel is the morally superior side in the Middle East conflict.

I might add, however, that even if the reason evangelicals supported the Jews and Israel were to hasten the Second Coming so what? If tens of millions of Christians will support Jews until Jesus returns, isnt that a good thing?

In addition, epithets are not always a good indicator of who our enemies are. Harry Truman wrote home when he visited New York City that he was in kike town and wrote very disparaging things about the Jews in his diary. Yet, as president, he became the man who had America recognize the newly formed state of Israel within minutes of its declaration of independence against the advice of his entire State Department.

Likewise, when Hillary Clinton was accused of calling a campaign aide a fing Jew bastard an account attested to by three witnesses I wrote a column for The Wall Street Journal defending her against the charge of anti-Semitism. There was simply nothing in her behavior to suggest that she is an anti-Semite.

We are very right to be worried about hatred of Jews and Israel. But Israel hatred and anti-Zionism todays expressions of anti-Semitism arent coming from Ann Coulter or her side of the political spectrum. They are almost always to be found on the left in America and everywhere else outside the Muslim world. Our universities, for example, are the center of Israel hatred in America.

Thoughtful Jews on the left should be experiencing cognitive dissonance these days. The institutions they most revere the universities are the most anti-Israel institutions in America, and the groups they most fear conservatives and Christians are Israels and the Jews best friends.

Ann Coulter aimed her famously provocative rhetorical gun at her intended target the GOP candidates and instead hit an innocent bystander, Americas Jews. When you harm someone, even accidentally, you owe an apology. Her tweet hurt her, her cause and the Republican Party as well as Jews, and she should say shes sorry. But she is not an anti-Semite.

Jews shouldnt accuse people of this when it isnt true whether it is Ann Coulter or Hillary Clinton.
