The Catholic Way and the Jewish Way

Look at this opening statement: “The President is refusing to talk. That's a shame because there doesn't have to be another crisis. It could be a breakthrough.” Now look at this other opening statement: “President Obama has led us here by continually thwarting the will of congress and dismissing its role in our constitutional republic.” Do you discern a difference in tone and in objective between the two?

The first was written by the Catholic Paul Ryan whose desire is clearly to avoid another crisis and achieve a breakthrough if at all possible. As to the second statement, it was written by Eric Cantor who is a Jew. Like an attack dog – a characteristic that is shared by most Jews – he displays a desire to put the President on the defensive right at the start before explaining what the discussion is about.

Those statements came in the first paragraph of articles written on October 9, 2013 by each of Paul Ryan who published in the Wall Street Journal, and Eric Cantor who published in the Washington Post. The Ryan article came under the title: “Here's How We Can End This Stalemate” and the subtitle: “Both Reagan and Clinton negotiated debt-ceiling deals with their opponents. We're ready to negotiate.” As to the Cantor article, it came under the title: “Divided government requires bipartisan negotiation”.

When you read the two articles, you cannot help but get the feeling that the Catholic is a sincere man whose objective is to reach an agreement with the President that will serve the interests of the American people. Thus, talking about a past performance which he uses as example to guide the present, he writes this: “all we had to do was put prudence ahead of pride.”

The next thing he does is look for common grounds his party may have with the President. And so, he goes on to say this: “If Mr. Obama decides to talk, he'll find that we actually agree on some things.” This point made, he gives a number of examples when the two parties worked together and achieved results. He starts this part of the conversation like that: “The two political parties have worked together on entitlements before.” By now you are convinced this is the approach of someone that's looking for reconciliation.

This being the case, Ryan tries to entice the President to come to the negotiating table: “structural reforms produce greater savings over time.” And he gives examples of that: “Here are a few ideas to get the conversation started.” And guess what: “The President has embraced these ideas in budget proposals he submitted to Congress.” What else can they do if and when they get together? They can do this: “We should also enact pro-growth reforms that put people to work.” And because they must start somewhere: “right now, we need to find common ground.”

Thus, reading what Ryan wrote, you feel that he is propelled by the Christian approach to life. In contrast, you read the Cantor approach, and you get the sense this is the work of a devil masquerading as human. He begins by stating what absolute right he believes he has: “The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse and the power to borrow.” He then does something that shows you how Jews begin the process of gathering dirt on someone to blackmail later.

In this case, Cantor could not find dirt to throw at Obama but found a quote to embarrass him with: “In 2006, then-Sen. Obama said...” And so, for Obama to defend himself now, he'll have to drop everything he does and try to put himself in the same frame of mind he had 7 years ago. What a waste of time this would be, and what a waste of energy! But that's Jewish for you.

And in the absence of a complete rehashing of what happened 7 years ago at the expense of what is transpiring now, Cantor finds it opportune to throw this at the President: “That is a much larger failure of leadership.” It is Jewish dirt of another kind. Also, having stated his legal right under the constitution, he now accuses Obama of not fully adhering to the law: “Obama often chose to circumvent the law under the guise of executive authority.” He goes further: “In some instances, the president attempted to garner statutory authority.”

And so, with the law as he interprets it on his side, he now makes a categorical statement to the effect that: “the American people reelected a divided government – and they will not accept one party simply refusing to negotiate.” You see, my friend, he now feels he owns the American people. Nothing can be more Jewish or more devilish than this. God save America from these characters.
