The dark Side of Democracy is Jewish

On the one hand, it can be said that every good thing has a dark side. Whichever way you look at this side, you'll find it to consist in the abuse of what is good about the thing. To use a raw analogy, sugar is sweet but eating too much of it will give you diabetes ... known to be a silent killer.

On the other hand, there is the saying: the cure for the ills of democracy is more democracy. So how can we tell if “more democracy” is a cure or an abuse that may kill? This is the question that confronts us when we read an article such as the one written by William Kristol under the title: “Time for Senators to Step Up on Iran” later revised to read: "A Dark Gulf," published on April 23, 2015 in the Weekly Standard.

The author begins the article by quoting the late Winston Churchill who said three quarters of a century ago that Britain was descending “the stairway which leads to a dark gulf.” But the nation was not roused, says Kristol, and the result has been World War Two. What he avoided doing is tell what would have happened if the nation was roused by Churchill's speeches. Would starting the war a year and a half earlier done Britain any good?

Using this incomplete analogy as a stepping stone, Kristol goes on to say that America has had its debate on the Iran issue because: “For the first time! The op-ed pages and the journals have been full of arguments. What's remarkable is how many sympathetic to the deal with Iran have been critical.” So you ask: Was this the rousing of the nation he wished to see? Or was it the tool that failed to rouse the nation? What did Kristol expect, and what did he get in the end?

He does not answer these questions directly but makes it sound like he is not fully satisfied because the Congress did not speak up. He put it this way: “But the Congress? No.” He blames the Obama Administration for keeping “the elected representatives of the American people” from weighing in. But then, in a typical Jewish fashion, he contradicts himself: “Now they have the chance to do so. The occasion is the Corker-Cardin bill which establishes a process for congressional review of whatever deal the administration reaches.”

But then, descending the stairway to the dark gulf of his own mentality, Kristol calls the bill toothless because it allows the Congress to do what it could do without it “in any case, at any time.” So you ask: What, therefore, does this guy want? And he more than answers this question. In fact, he inadvertently defines how democracy is abused by the Jews. Here he is: “There is no reason to think that passage of this bill significantly increases the chance of reversing such a deal once it is agreed to.” In effect then, he says that democracy for the Jews consists of putting down a process that assures the outcome before the process is even begun. Jewish democracy right out the rear end of a skunk.

But Kristol indicates he is not completely disheartened because “various senators plan to offer amendments … Each needs to be considered and voted on. Such a debate could put the administration and the Iranians on notice as to what Congress would accept.” Why is he saying this? In fact, it happens to be the way that the Congress has functioned since the writing of the US Constitution. Is Kristol, by any chance, hinting that all this came about because he made it happen?

He does not answer that question either but goes on to trash the American process of democracy because he foresees that – unlike the Jewish process – it will not guarantee at the start, the outcome he wants to see at the end of the debate. Here is how he says that: “nothing is more impressive than the forces now arrayed against such a debate … the administration … the republican chairman … the leading pro-Israel group, all prefer quiet approval rather than a serious debate and series of votes.”

And so – playing the role of mamma William Kristol – he now tells everybody what to do. He says: “We think it is in the nation's interest to have a full and free congressional debate. Amendments should be considered carefully, debated thoroughly, and voted up or down … Let amendments be offered. Let votes be taken. Let the debate be engaged.” But mamma Kristol forgot to tell the kids to wash their hands, especially if after peeing, they decide to eat the sandwich she packed for them.

His aim is this: “Perhaps the nation will be roused.” He is trying to provoke such rousing by telling America how to Jew and abuse the system that has worked for it a quarter of a millennium.
