Who Should I Vote For?

Nathan — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 22:54:20 +0000

I have been listening to the pure bull pucky of the Republican presidential candidates and combining this with the things I sincerely dislike about the the Progressives and the pretend Democrat Obama and this has resulted in two sentiments.

First, anyone who compromises their speech for the sake of electability is traitor to his or [...]

Holiday Reflections

Nathan — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 22:17:27 +0000

I warn you, this is a ramble or sorts, and It definitely might make you wonder what I am up to on a Saturday afternoon, but my intent is to be though provoking. I observe Shabbat as much as I can, and a day of no technology and thinking, well makes a guy think!

I [...]

Dare I Say It? The Tea Party Has a Point

Nathan — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 15:30:18 +0000

As many if you know, I have often said that if not the largest, but in the top 5 largest expansions of the scope and size of the Federal Government occurred in the 8 years of the Republican administration (I dare not speak his name, because he and his ilk as as un-American as they [...]

My Note To Obama on Rick Warren

Nathan — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:12:29 +0000

Dear Team-

I would like to express my disgust and dismay at the choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation at the inauguration.

As a Jew, I am always very uncomfortable with the encroachment of dominant Christian forces into the public sphere, not only because it is anti-American, but because the tendency is for [...]

Memo From Pagan Blood Drinkers to The Jews

Nathan — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:56:59 +0000

The memo is simple: Dear Jews, if you plan on celebrating your holiday please do it quietly and in the corner and if you happen to ever think your holiday is as important as ours we will certainly remind you of your minority status.

When city officials planted a 7-foot-tall Christmas tree next to a [...]

Rabbi Tovia Singer

Nathan — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 22:04:13 +0000

Looks like I am not the only one thinking about Christians as polytheistic idol worshipers. Check out the lectures of Rabbi Tovia Signer.

Try to imagine the astonished reaction of a Jew (who has his monotheism intact) as he discovers from your question that missionaries use his cherished national creed, “Hear O Israel, the Lord [...]

Why We Are Doomed

Nathan — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 18:13:12 +0000

Today is a bad day for Jews. Traditionally we are all sad because we lost our Temple. In general, the more, well, modern amongst us, see this as a time to be insightful and think about the big plan as manifested through events then, now and in the middle – we are talking about 2000+ [...]

What Would Christians Be With No Jesus?

Nathan — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:56:50 +0000

I know this might be a complicated question – or the answer might be complicated – but what would Christians be today if there were no Jesus? Would they be more pagan than they are now? Would they be Jews, Muslims, or maybe Zoroastrians?

Christianity a Scam? No You Don’t Say!

Nathan — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 16:17:41 +0000

Welly, welly, welly, it would appear that the centerpiece of one the worlds great faiths is a fraud. Are we shocked? No. What, pray tell, might force the doctrine of infallibility and the fundamentalist evangelical movement into a seizure?

The discovery of Jesus’ tomb, complete with bones of his family. Yes, Jesus was a man [...]

Yes, We Are Not All Stupid!

Nathan — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 12:40:17 +0000

We win. America Wins. The World Wins. Thank G-d we finally showed the world we are not all idiots. Democrats are on the way back.

Now!!!! No blow jobs, keep the curruption down, and fight for America. The America we all want, open, free, equitable, Christian right wing bullshit free, and a better world citizen.

Eulogy: Death of The American Dream

Nathan — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 16:50:41 +0000

In front of Twilo maybe 8 years ago, maybe longer, I was berated by Sean B. and George M. because I was taking a stance about sending garment production to Asia. I maintained that it was fundamentally un-American to allow your neighbors to loose their jobs so that you could have the perception of cheaper [...]

Taking on evil inclination

Nathan — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 02:24:43 +0000

Talmud tidbit, from 2 days go, a short version: Jews asked to be forgiven for sin of idol worship, and were sent a flaming lion cub to deal with, they did, putting it in a lead pot and sealing the pot closed. They figured, we are on a roll, lets ask for evil inclination [...]

Mexico w/Idan

Nathan — Sun, 18 Apr 2004 04:04:14 +0000

Idan has been traveling through Mexico for over a month and was around the Cancun area. I looked online and found a good deal to go visit him for a 4 days weekend. In total the trip would cost about 300$. I figured staying in a resort would give him nice break from his backpacking [...]
