In March I fulfilled one of my stand-up comedy goals: a tour to entertain the troops serving in Iraq and Kuwait. Having served in the region twice before as a U. S. Marine, during this Iraq War and The Persian Gulf War, the comedy tour took on even more meaning. Being Jewish added another layer: I was a Jew in an Arab country. More importantly, I was glad to let the troops know that this New York Jew, although a transplant from New Mexico, supports them and their mission.
Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney not only both have great hair, they’re also both Mormons. I don’t know if good hair and Mormonism are related, but I’m sure an industrious Mormon preacher can find a link. It is not news that Romney is a Mormon. The left-leaning media loudly beat the drum of Mormonism being at odds with Christianity during the Republican presidential primary. This was specifically aimed at the Christian Right. The left-wing happily blew any Mormon fears out of proportion in order to derail the republicans. But this smear tactic will not cause the same stumbling block for Romney in the next primary.
A lot of my politically conservative non Jewish friends, especially fellow Marines, are dumbfounded as to why American Jews continue to vote overwhelmingly democrat. These conservatives know that the democrat party is increasingly anti-American, anti-Israel, and down right anti-Semitic. But the left-wing Jew keeps marching along as if heading to the gas chambers while fighting for the Nazis’ rights to murder. Tough words for a dangerous situation. As an observant Jew and political conservative, many of my acquaintances have looked to me for insight on this topic.
This July 4th, I have a wish. My wish is that a cure for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) be found. A cure that will save over one million lives—the number currently lost to TBI each year. Many of those lives belong to our brave men and women in uniform. We live in the most advanced country in the world, and this gift should be used to end the pain of those who are suffering. As President Lincoln stated regarding veterans, “To care for him who shall have borne the battle.” We have a particular obligation to care for those injured in service to our country.
Rudy needs to man up. Where’s the tough leader? Where’s the Rudy who fought crime, saved New York City and was “Americas Mayor” after 9/11? Playing Mr. Appropriate Nice Guy is not going to sway undecided voters. It’s like the neighborhood dog that everyone used to respect and fear is now disregarded post neutering. I only hope Rudy throws his genteel demeanor to the wayside and reverts to the tough no nonsense leader he used to be. Come on Rudy, do us all a favor, bite someone’s head off.
Redeploy our forces in Iraq to the borders of Syria and Iran. This will most certainly decrease the amount of insurgents coming in to the increasingly stable Iraq and, more importantly, send a tangible strategic message to Syria and Iran. Here we are and we mean business.
It’s easy come, easy go in Kabul. Democratic and capitalistic reforms have transformed the dust bowl of backwards Afghanistan into a modern Sodom and Gomorrah. The newly opened brothel is raking in the Afghani (dollar) hand over fist.
Soon Afghanis can join forces with the left wing in America and jump on the Global Warming and Gay Marriage bandwagons. And in the near future a Kabul-ite will be synonymous with a Progressive. Once they open a gay brothel we’ll know they’re on track.
