The IQ of American police officers is scandalously low compared to those of other nations, Clav. They have yet to figure out that throwing buttons at demonstrators doesn't work nearly as well as smashing their heads in with those big shiny sticks they carry on their belts.

your police force is doing a right thing in educating you what your american regime and your country really is for your government an illegal immigrant or an American-born slave who works in your shitty slavish environment 12 hours per day for water and bread are the same value your brainless heads were unable to understand that there are no "illegal aliens" on planet earth because the whole planet became American property and "area of American interests" your policemen were acting as roman legionnaires kicking out slaves' brains from spartacus's comrades because you allowed them to consider living people in your evil country as animals and soulless objects you Americans deserved it! you allowed your government to kill innocent people all around the globe invade sovereign countries impoverish and enslave entire continents now your government gave you a lesson teaching you that you are "an invaded territory" Iraqis within America slaves and bastards is bush's or one of his jewish mentors' son or daughter was in the crowd the police would not attack you! obviously! you Americans don't like the truth that's why the truth has to knock into your silly heads in the shape of police's buttons

When you are Jewish, a little paranoia is a healthy thing. Right now, a war is going on here. Hamas has been launching upwards of 20 rockets a day since Independence Day in April, concentrating on driving out the residents of the city of S'derot. The Israeli government, under orders of the United States, is doing nothing to stop them. The world press covers this only if and when Israeli forces do retaliate, and only if and when there are Arab casualties. Poor bastards. They attack us, we restrain our forces under orders of the successors of the perfidious British, the backstabbing Americans, and only when the Arabs get killed do your reporters rush in to say anything.

Ruvy, I acknowledge that as a Jew you've got more right to be paranoid than most of us, but sometimes (and I've thought this about a number of your posts and comments) you seem to be jumping at shadows. As Dan just pointed out, he made up the swastika hatpin thing; and while it is true that Di's boys did once don SS uniforms, it was a frickin' costume party, for cryin' out loud. I don't think you're going to see Will 'n' Harry's right arms shooting out uncontrollably � la Dr Strangelove any time soon. In my opinion, putting on Nazi uniforms can be funny, if the reason you're doing it is to ridicule them. Mel Brooks has done it to great effect, many times; as did the classic BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo, set in occupied France. That's not why the Princes were doing it, so I'll give you that that one was in poor taste.

Boy, Ruvy got going there. Who knew? I suspect there is an alternative reading of events. His seems a little harsh. I'm not qualified to know. Sure has a lot of factual content. Rendered with passion too. Good job Ruvy. That hatpin thing was, in fact, me going overboard to stress a point. It's a defense mechanism. So "swastika hat pin" is not factual.

Chris Rose: Occasional paragraphs & parts of lines will drop out of my on-screen text. Has anybody else observed or complained about this? So for example, in #94 I got the first 2 paragraphs, then the first & last lines only of PP3. Very strange. It doesn't occur with any other site I frequent except BC.

Dr. Dreadful, A tiny swastika on the hat of a woman of no real significance is just that - tiny, unimportant, insignificant. What is significant is that the British stabbed my people in the back - just as they have stabbed so many other peoples in the back, Arabs included. They did not actively kill 6,000,000 European Jews - the Nazis did that. But they made sure, by virtually shutting the door of the Mandate for a Jewish National Home that they had responsibility for, that those Jews would be there to kill - kind of like the fellow with the white gloves who locks the stall so that the cattle can't get out when the slaughterer comes - and then lets out a few calves and calls himself a humanitarian. Looking at it all from the point of view of one who used to be an American, I think the Americans did a very wise thing to cut themselves off from the British crown and Empire. They gave themselves a real opportunity for greatness - and for a while looked as though they might even fulfill their potential.

It is no great surprise that your Queen should sport a tiny swastika in her hat. Ruvy, Dan was being sarcastic. In much the same way that an elephant pissing on its keeper is being sarcastic - but nevertheless.

Well, Stan, I finally returned from J-lem with some food for Sabbath meals. So I can return to your observations. 1. Hitler made it absolutely clear what he intended to do to Jews if he ever got power. And when he did get power, very few took him seriously - including the idiots who ran Whitehall. By the time Jews took Hitler seriously, it was way too late. Zev Jabotinski went to Europe begging them to leave for Israel - he warned a committee of the House of Lords that Europe would become a Jewish graveyard. The British were well forewarned of what their enemies would do to Jews, and had a pretty good idea of Hitler's ideas for dominating Europe. They shut the door of their Mandate here to Jews - and they refused to prepare for war with Germany. 2. The one group of Jews who did negotiate with the Nazis were the Labor Zionists - what they did was to see to it that non-religious Zionists, Jews who had no use for G-d, would get out of Germany and the lands that fell under the rule of the Nazis. And they did everything they could to see to it that religious Jews would not get out. 3. When the British issued their infamous White Paper virtually slamming the door of THE LAND OF ISRAEL to Jews - AFTER THEY UNDERTOOK TO CREATE A JEWISH NATIONAL HOME HERE - the Hagana tried to take a stance of restraint and initiated a policy of sneaking Jews into their own homeland. The Etze"l, the group headed by Zev Jabotinsky, and after his death, MenaHem Begin, took a policy of violent resistance to the British, attacking them when and wherever possible. The Shtern Gang took the extreme policy of siding with the Nazis against the British - the precise policy of the Moslem Brotherhood - people like Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat. I think they were wrong in being willing to work with the Nazis, and I do not think they ever succeeded. The Nazis, when they negotiated with Jews, were only willing to negotiate with the Labor Zionists or people they knew could produce lots of money. the desperate ideologues of the Shtern Gang were not in this category. Nevertheless, by assassinating British officials, the Shtern Gang they made themselves very effective. I realize that someone like your father would not have appreciated that - it is easy to understand why. But in essence, the Nazis were very clear about their intent. Only a blind man could not see a massive murder of Jews coming in the near future in 1936, if the Nazis succeeded. The British, by contrast, stabbed my people in the back, out of fear of Arabs. Had they the least bit of courage, they would have armed and trained Jews to keep the Arabs in line - believe me it would have worked. Had they the least bit of courage, they would have allowed us to build a Jewish national home in Israel - which was the solemn commitment they undertook before the entire world. Now, tell me, Stan. Who should I reserve my contempt for - the man who tells me up front that he has every intent of killing me and prepares to do so, or the man who pretends to be my friend, and then when I am most in need, stabs me in the back? The Nazis showed what uncivilized savages they could turn Germans and other Europeans into. Bu they were willing to defy the world to do so and paid a terrible price for their courage, if it can be called that. The British showed how cowardice and duplicity does the same evil, and aids the savage barbarian in his murderous goals. The French and the Americans AND PARTICULARLY THE AMERICAN REFORM JEWS were not too far behind the British.

Stan, I've time only for a brief answer - I must run off to the capital for Sabbath shopping. At least you know your history, and can present details that the majority of posters wouldn't have a clue about. An enemy who tells me up front that he'll kill me, I can respect. This I understand. This was the Nazi enemy. One knew where one stood with them, even if it meant fighting for your life. But the British? More later.

Ruvy: Perhaps it's the Nazis who should be the target of you anger and revulsion, rather than the British. It's all sounding too much like the idealogy of Yair Stern and his misguided cronies, who thought their real enemies were the British, and tried to negotiate with the Nazis. Think about it Ruvy. Denying visas to Palestine in the lead-up to WWII? I think they hoped there wouldn't be a WWII. How was anyone to know what the fate of the Jews would be in Germany and German occupied Europe. Civilised people don't behave the way the Nazis did, and it must have been unthinkable in the lead up to war that this was to be the fate of your people. I'd suggest that if the British understood that prior to the sealing of the borders and the outbreak of war, they'd have tried their darndest to get every single Jew out of Europe. I reiterate: they were the only country that tried to get as many Jeiwish children out of so-called Greater Germany prior to the declaration of war. That thousands of of jewish children survived, and many live today, is testament to that fact. Your skewed view of it all - especially in regard to the British Nazi sympathisers, a small number who were conistently berated in England - sounds hateful to me, more than anything.

I think it's interesting that you feel this way about the British, Ruvy, when the truth is for three years, they were the only country that continued to stand up to the Nazis - the perpetrators of the holocaust. Part of the reason they did so was the "hateful" and racist ideology of Nazi Germany. They also rescued thousands of Jewish children from Nazi occupied Europe prior to the British declaration of war - the kinder transports. I think you are being too hard on them. I know why they didn't simply open up Palestine to your people en masse without considering what the ramifications might be. It was more to do with law and order than denying Jews their rightful homeland, which according to the Balfour declaration was the ultimate aim anyway. I believe they were quite simply hoping to avoid another conflagration, and after what had recently taken place, I can't say I blame them. There are many on the British side who are equally critical of the treachery and duplicity of many of those in the Haganah, who told the British they sought the status quo and a peaceful solution, but in their other life went out and murdered British soldiers. It works both ways Ruvy. My father, and I can tell you, no anti-semite by a long shot, had a lot to say about that particular aspect. If, in the wash-up, they had the shits after a while, you can probably understand it. I can.

This is for that British (and Australian) tea hustling contingent. The royal house you guys like so much for entertainment is a German royal house. They may have anglicized the name some over time, but it is still a German royal house. Any reasonably intelligent coin collector is familiar with the name, "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha." Queen Victoria was a first cousin to Wilhelm II of Germany, whose army her military had to eventually fight. Blood is thicker than water, even thicker than petroleum. Back in 1929, the Prince of Wales took a trip to visit the coal miners in "Merrye Engalond". I have photos of the young man and the haunted look in his eyes as he saw what your parliamentary system could not (or would not) do for the starving buggers digging coal. The Prince of Wales looked across the sea to Europe and saw Mussolini and Hitler, especially after Hitler took control in Germany; he saw the changes that took place. Seeing himself as a King, a man whose job it was to look after his people, and remembering what he had seen in the coal mines in 1929, and bearing in mind what the bumbling Conservative and Labour governments could not accomplish in his own country, the Prince of Wales became devoted to the idea of a royal revolution that would seize power back from Parliament, and allow him to copy Hitler and Mussolini in reforming the United Kingdom, with the aim of seeing to it that her workers would no longer starve and the coupon clipping exploiters of them would no longer live an easy life off the backs of their hard work. He joined the large ranks of English admirers of Hitler. He may have been chased off the throne for marrying an American divorecée, but Edward of Windsor's exile to the Caribbean was purposeful - to keep him from ever pursuing his revolutionary plans and overthrowing his brother (or perhaps convincing him to follow a similar policy). There have been photos of Diana's kids in Nazi regalia. It is no great surprise that your Queen should sport a tiny swastika in her hat. In addition, there have been reports of teachers in the United Kingdom avoiding teaching about the Nazi slaughter of my people - so as not to offend the Moslems. After all, a major figure in convincing Hitler to open death camps in Poland to slaughter Jews was Amin Husseini, the rabble rouser from Gaza who had proclaimed himself "grand mufti" in Jerusalem and was behind the massacre of Jews in Hebron in 1929... Pursuing the teaching of the Holocaust inevitably leads to the "Palestinian" Arab who sought the slaughter of the Jews - and who got it. But the main indictment of the British, the reason they should rot in hell and their Union Jack should be torn to bits and burnt, is that the gates to the Land of Israel were barred by the British to Jews, when those Jews, the rightful inhabitants, needed refuge the most. Have a tea and a good lie down before firing back your answers, gents. I haven't called any of you holocaust deniers. I've done far worse. I've told the truth.

Got this as a forward in our e-mail, did we? Couldn't find this little gem on snopes.com, but a quick Google search revealed that it's been popping up on all kinds of right-wing blogs. I suspect that the "teacher" - who, along with their school, is conveniently anonymous - is really an enraged and rather dishonest conservative. This has all the hallmarks of an urban legendmaker with an ax to grind. I'm sure others will have plenty to say about your comment, but I can pinpoint a few items of bullshit in the piece for you right now. 1. Many undocumented immigrants do pay income taxes as well as filing a return. Many are on the payrolls of reputable companies. They pay taxes to appear legitimate, to give themselves a stake in the economy, or because they perceive it as a way to strengthen their case for achieving legal status. 2. Illegal immigrants do not qualify for Section 8 housing assistance, welfare or Social Security benefits. Their dependents might, if they were born here and are therefore citizens. As adults, their parents are usually the payees, so it may appear that they are receiving the benefits themselves, but this is not the case. 3. Hundreds and thousands of undocumented aliens do voluntarily leave and return every year, mainly migrant farm workers. Those that stay on do so because they fear repeated crossing of international borders will draw attention to them. A guest worker program would legitimize their movements and remove the fear of legal reprisals upon them and their employers. You have a right to be upset about illegal immigration, but at least acquaint yourself with some basic facts first before swallowing hook, line and sinker this kind of inflammatory claptrap.

Found this on the net.Can anyone validate this stuff? God forbid if I spew bile! What the f**k is wrong with you people! This should make everyone think: WAKE UP AMERICANS!!!! From a California school teacher - "As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of: I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels. Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more D O have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" whores and throwing things that the teachers were in tears. Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements? To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs. Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes. We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return? There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to our country and many that I consider my true friends. We should encourage and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way. It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about "politically correct" that we don't have the will to do anything about it. CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about? Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage. Consumers don't want expensive produce. Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs. But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. there is no such thing as "cheap labor." Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $ 3,200 free. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps. He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care. His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school. He requires bilingual teachers and books. He qualifies for relief from high energy bills. If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense. He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance. Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material. He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits. Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his. The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up. Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people. THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. 'AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!' THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE.

STM: "Dan, you accused Britons of being holocaust deniers." Yes, yes STM, of course I did. Certainly, all Britons are holocaust deniers. When the Queen vistited the states to commemorate the anniversery of the Jamestown settlement last week, meticulous observers noticed she donned a tiny, swastika hat pin. And as Dr. Dreadfool somehow sluethfully uncovered, I contend that holocaust denial is now government mandated. The education administration has already petitioned the governmental appropriations committee for funds to be applied to the hiring of armed, uniformed, monitors to be installed in classrooms. These "Field Marshalls" are to ensure against any Zionist funny business. Also, in a semi-related matter, Muslim youth in France have now achieved their goal of torching every car in the country. The French are on foot now. So, beyond the cultural enrichment bestowed on the French people, they now have the unexpected gift of enhanced circulatory system/cardio-vascular health.
