Did you hear the one about the Jew who says to his psychiatrist
that he believes the psychiatrist is plotting his destruction? The
psychiatrist tells him that he has a sick delusion and should not
worry, since the psychiatrist is there to protect him. The poor
jerk is happy until he looks up at the diplomas on the wall and
sees the psychiatrist’s middle name is Hussein, and a diploma from
a Muslim school.
Forget Reverend Wright, Obama’s twenty-year mentor who preached
racial hate and America-hate. Forget that he was Obama’s spiritual
advisor, baptized his children, and counseled with him for twenty
years. Forget that Obama says he sat there for twenty years and
never heard any of it and never spoke to — for twenty years — the
hundreds of thousands of people who sat in church with him and also
never heard any of them mention the sermons to him, or heard any of
them speak to each other about the sermons. Perhaps he has a
hearing problem and, if you believe him, perhaps you would like to
buy this bridge that we would like to sell you on eBay.
OK, also forget Obama’s lack of experience, although any
reasonable person must be just a little concerned by this.
If we were to hire a plumber to fix our toilet, we would want to
make sure he had experience fixing toilets. For a plumber — yes.
For a president — not necessary.
While we are forgetting, also forget Michelle Obama, who says
this is the first time in her life she has ever been proud of
America. But even she would have to admit that we do some things
well, like Broadway shows, making cornflakes, taking out
gallbladders, and fixing teeth. The whole world would admit we do
these things better than anybody else. The next time she needs a
cavity filled, maybe she wants to look up a dentist in
Czechoslovakia. Grab a piece of paper and make a list of the things
we do better than any other country in the world — no, grab a
whole notebook because you will soon run out of paper.
So now, we come to Jews. We would be the first to admit that
there are plenty of Jews we don’t like, but as a race, we would
fight for their survival. And, admittedly, the principal enemy
against their very survival is the militant Muslims.
Israel is just 60 years old, a drop in the bucket of historical
time, but Jews have lived in Israel for over 3,300 years, 1,800
years before the Arabs ever showed up with their goats and
soldiers. Jerusalem was the Jewish capital for all of these 3300
years and was never the capital of any Muslim or Arab state. In the
Second World War the Jews fought both the Nazis and the Arabs. The
Arabs fought the Jews and supported the Nazis.
In 1947 the United Nations created both Jewish and Arab states.
The Jews abided by this mandate, five Arab armies attacked Israel.
The Arabs told the Palestinians to leave Israel, and when they
followed instructions, their fellow Arabs put them in camps where
they still remain to this day. Many times since 1947, through
multiple accords, the Palestinians have been offered a separate
state next to Israel. They and the Arab leaders have always refused
this. Instead — whether they be al Qaeda, Ahmadinejad, the Islamic
Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah — they have consistently called for the
destruction of Israel. Ahmadinejad threatens Israel with nuclear
weapons and calls it a “stinking corpse,” and supplies arms to
terrorists, Kasam rockets rain down on Israel, Hamas threatens
Israel’s destruction, religious Fatwahs are issued.
All of this gives us at least the right to say that, as
lawyers do, the burden of proof shifts to the man whose middle name
is Hussein and who was educated in a Muslim school, to
demonstrate that he is committed to the preservation of
Israel. He has every right in our country — a country that his
wife has never, until now, been proud of — not to be so committed.
But Jews have every right not to support him or vote for him until
he meets his burden of proof.
And, oh yeah, if you know any experienced plumbers,
give us a call. There are still some jobs where experience
counts.
