This is hard but it has to be said.

Letter to a Longtime Jewish FB Friend:

This is hard but it has to be said. If you’ve read me at all over the years, you know that I have been a stout champion of Jews. Now I watch as self-absorbed New Yorkers and other elite “victims” are ready to cave on Trump because he has had to fight the bureaucratic Swamp to a standoff with COVID, and are prepared to ignore the terroristic torching of Manhattan as if it didn’t matter. Harry Lewis said — and you posted his rant — that COVID is the only issue of the 2020 campaign. No context, no analysis, no nothing but New York whining. Which pisses me off to the heights of piss-offed-ness. COVID is not an issue, except in the sense that it’s been an act of Mother Nature weaponized against a president who has had to endure endless hateful attacks by an irrational cabal of enemies who ceased thinking anything sane five years ago.

Just between you and me*, understand. More than any goyim you know, I grew up with Jews. Competed with them at elementary, prep school, college, and grad school levels. Close friends often, but not most of the time. Periods when I have had to say, no, too coarse, too nouveau, too aggressive, too unprincipled, too much devoted to revenge against a God and religion they now think they’re superior to. They want to be their own God(s) instead. Sorry. Scots are a tribe too. And we did more to build modern western civilization than the ones who arbitrated interest rates and owned the movie studios and banks and brokerage firms. Scots fought for independence for hundreds of years. Last week I saw an Israeli archaeologist who chuckled to himself saying, toward the end of a documentary about Jericho, “There was never a Jewish conquest of Canaan.” What was it then? A real estate deal? A bloodless but hostile takeover?

I’m truly angry right now. NYC does NOT matter. It is NOT America (notwithstanding the Steinberg cartoon shown below), nor does it speak for America but mostly at America, as if we should obey the whims of our more sophisticated superiors. 

I swear to you, at this moment I cannot say I know anyone from an elite university who does not have petrified turds for brains. You write every day, often carelessly and without real context. You embrace contradictory opinions and take no responsibility for the messages you send thereby. I am seeing this kind of thoughtless posing everywhere these days. I have a question for you I’m surmising no one will attempt to answer.

All I ask is this. Answer for your great celebrities who have spent their lives, just like today’s muslims, enjoying the fruits of American liberty while trying to turn the country they fled to into the tyrannical big-government hells their family forebears fled from. Power to the most presumptuously superior people, and damn the consequences? My big disadvantage here. Don’t want to fight you. I’m the wrong one to pick a fight with. I never lose arguments, not even with lawyers. So what say you about this gang of 50 great American “liberals”? Anything?

There is also a (Dis)Honorable Mention category for some of the foreign-born who have contributed in unique ways to the decay of American life: Franz Kafka, Felix Frankfurter, Roman Polanski, George Soros, Marc Rich, and others I’m sure.

It’s interesting that the American list also includes multiples each of people born in New York State proper, the State of New Jersey (two from Newark alone), and more than two each from the cities of Philadelphia and Boston. An institutional name that recurs throughout is Columbia University, far more than any other, although connections to Harvard, Berkeley, and Cornell are at least significant. We’re looking at a fairly narrow slice of American life here, but one which has had an exorbitant impact on almost every aspect of American culture, very often for the worse. It is, or used to be, a free country, and I have no interest in suppressing anyone’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But like everyone else, I am permitted to recognize patterns and draw inferences from them. Some of those inferences point to a destructive impulse I have rarely seen identified or analyzed with any intelligence.

Overall, I count myself lucky. I grew up with many able and admirable Jews, and I don’t need to be lectured about the numerous positive contributions they have made to the country. But this list, which could be much longer, is concerning.  And I also know firsthand that the most common motive I have heard expressed in private for supporting Civil Rights so outspokenly can be summed up in one sentence (sotto voce): “If they can do it to the Schwartzes, they can do it to us.” Hypocrisy and self interest know no barriers of class, race, ethnicity, religion, or gender. They put on different faces though, and it is not bias to be alert to them.

But there are always complications...

*And the flies on the wall... who will come buzzing by later, no doubt.
