File This Under “About Damn Time”: Pope lifts blame from Jews for Christ's death

I can finally sleep more peaceful at night knowing this!

From Breibart News:

Pope Benedict XVI exonerates the Jewish people as a whole from responsibility for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in a new book due to be published this month, prompting praise from Jewish groups.

The pope wrote that the condemnations of Jesus Christ came from the "aristocracy of the temple" in Jerusalem and from the "masses" who acclaimed Barabbas instead of Jesus -- not from "the Jewish people as a whole".

Extracts from the book, the second volume of a biography of Jesus Christ, were published by the Vatican's official Osservatore Romano daily on Thursday.

The World Jewish Congress in a statement praised the pope "for unequivocally rejecting the argument that the Jewish people can be held responsible."

Congress head Ronald Lauder said: "2,000 years after the event it really was high time that the head of the Catholic Church made a clear statement on this.

"It sets an important marker against anti-Semitism in the Church," he said.

"Jews suffered from brutal persecution and anti-Semitism because Christians held them collectively responsible for the killing of Jesus Christ, even though he was himself a Jew and was crucified by the Roman rulers," he added.

I’m feeling better already!!! (Sarc)

Happy 100th Birthday President Ronald Reagan

The Greatest President in United States history....Ronald "Maximus" Reagan aka, The Gipper!

From The Urban Dictionary Definition number 22:

Ronald Reagan = one the BEST presidents ever. President Reagan understood the dynamics of one's wallet better than any president before or after his presidency. He understood what it took to get the economy moving again - and to restore the American dream. His ability to restore the nations sense of optimism and pride was one of his biggest achievements.

Peace thru strength was his best acheivement.

President Ronald Reagan did more - single handedly - to end communism as we knew it - ended the USSR as a major world threat. He ended the cold war after over 40 years of unrelenting world wide tensions & fear.

President Reagan was a conservative without being a red neck about it - he was able to bring about the best ideals of being a proud American. His ever present sense of optimism brought the country back on track after the 16 long dreary years - 1964-1980 - following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He ended the pessimism generated by the years of Vietnam & Watergate & Stagflation.

Ronald Reagan represented the American dream - from his humble boyhood beginnings in Dixon, IL. to Hollywood, CA. and to the White House in Washington, DC. He lived the American dream - can do.

President Reagan's presidency will be remembered as - Morning in America. History will place Ronald Reagan among the great American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln

Doing The Work of Three Men

Once again, Obama is proving me right when it comes to his mishandling of the Egyptian Crisis...

When this is all said and done, Egypt is going to be another Iran, and like Jimmy Carter before him, history will remember Obama having failed miserably and will have "Led" the middle east into further chaos and probably a war that Israel will despite the efforts of the liberal left, come out as the victor, and Obama will be holding all the blame.

Gloom Factor Sinks Obama’s Standing With Jewish Voters

Chicago Jesus is losing ground more and more everyday with Jewish voters it would appear.

From The NY Jewish Week:

President Barack Obama’s approval rating among Jewish voters has fallen six points in just seven months, and a surprisingly strong 33 percent of those surveyed say the nation would be better off with a Republican-led Congress, according to a just-released poll of Jewish voters by the American Jewish Committee.

That suggests one of the strongest pillars of the Democratic base is weakening just weeks before critical congressional midterm elections that are expected to result in strong GOP gains.

“A 51 percent positive rating for a Democratic president among Jews is, frankly, terrible,” said University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato. “That is barely higher than Obama’s national approval rating of 42 to 48 percent, depending on the poll.

“This is Obama’s low point so far, no question,” Sabato continued. “It is coming at just the wrong moment, given the Nov. 2 midterm elections.”

There was better news for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose standing went from a 57 percent approval rating in March to 62 percent in the current survey, which was conducted between Sept. 6 and Oct. 8. The poll, which had a sample size of 800 people, was conducted by Synovate, a leading research firm according to the AJC.

It completely amazes me to no end that any Jewish Person could support this putz with his hostile approach toward Israel and his utter disregard for the Constitution of the United States of America.

Second Jewish Republican In The House?

It would seem that my peeps are slowly coming around to their senses, and the possibility of Eric Cantor being joined by another Jewish Republican in the House of Representatives.

From the NY Jewish Week:

It’s hard to imagine a congressional district where party affiliation has as little value as New York’s 1st CD in Suffolk County.

The current congressman, Tim Bishop, is a Democrat. His predecessor, Felix Grucci, was a Republican. Grucci’s predecessor, Michael Forbes, was a Republican who became a Democrat, and the seat holder before that, George Hochbruekner, was a Democrat who succeeded William Carney. Carney was a member of the Conservative Party who was elected on the Republican ballot.
“It’s a very volatile seat,” said Michael Dawidciak, a Republican political consultant who lives and works in eastern Long Island. “It defies definition by the national [party] committees because it is both conservative and liberal. People have very strong opinions about certain issues.”
The district, which is 89 percent white, with slightly more Republicans than Democrats, includes the tony Hamptons as well as working-class towns like Riverhead and Patchogue and some farming communities.

Perhaps Jews are starting to see that the Democrats really are not friends with Israel and the Jewish people and that they align themselves more with Radical Islam and Atheists more so then they do with people who hold traditional JudeoChristian values.  One can only hope.
