Oh, we’re up to it again!
And here I thought I was so busy writing about issues, reading, working on some long-range writing projects and driving hundreds of miles doing special programs in elementary and high schools. I KNEW I was forgetting to do something. And TimesOnline’s Daniel Finkelstein has reminded me.
Finkelstein (uh, oh..that name) has a post noting an interesting comment by Professor Richard Dawkins suggesting that a) Jews monopolize American foreign policy and b) if only atheists would have that kind of influence, then the world would be a much better place.
Read Finkelstein’s short but potent post HERE. (Finkelstein always writes some of the most provocative and entertaining posts on the Internet).
I have to get going now. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice left me a message and wants me to fax over my agenda, so she can set American foreign policy. But it’s so hard to do that right now. First I have to issue orders to America’s banks, since I control them, too.
Actually, it isn’t that “the Jews” influence foreign policy (although Condi can’t issue an order without the check list from ME). There are some people in the United States who may be Jewish who work in that area who may be Conservative or Orthodox or Reform and probably don’t agree with each other on religious practices, let alone foreign policy.
And the biggest influence of “the Jews” in America isn’t on foreign policy.
It’s on the profit margins of Chinese restaurants.
P.S. America did actually have a Jewish President: Abraham Lincoln. He must have been Jewish. He was shot in the temple.
