Child Refugees? No, They’re Stealing Our Country

You can’t. You see, if he is a liar, then he was NEVER against amnesty. But if he is a sell-out, then he once was against amnesty, but was bribed (either legally w/ money or illegally w/ promises of prominent support for re-election, a [vice] presidential run, etc.) to change his position. Hence, he can’t be both as they’re mutually exclusive.

Rubio’s history suggests that he cultivates a special constituency in Miami, which is is neither Spanish nor Christian.

Yes, there’s that. He also had a ton of money left over from his presidential run and used it to go after his opponent for appearing in an info-mercial (horror of horrors!). Yeah, people have “good” and “bad” receptors. I remember when I was a kid that the Republicans ran this one guy Smith (?) for senate in Oregon and a random guy on the street said, “I can’t believe they would nominate him after all he did.” He groped a few women. Honestly, so what? Clinton raped women and we were told that was his private life and if you mixed the two together there’s something wrong with you. The Left is nothing but double standards. Their only consistency is that they always play to win while “respective conservatives” always play to befriend the editorial board of the New York Times and the Washington Post. If I ran for office, I’d say, “Voting for me doesn’t mean these editors don’t get to write anymore. It means they don’t get to live anymore.” “What are you going to charge them with?” “Charges? Oh, I’m sorry. You thought there would be formal charges? Nah, I’m going for the 3:00 a.m. knock on the door.”

You’re a girl??? wow. I totally saw you looking like your avatar! That’s hilarious!

Well, as a devotee of the works of Professor Robert Eisenman, the scholar who, after forty years, got the Dead Sea Scrolls released to the public, and as someone who, for reasons he (me) cannot explain, has always been intensely interested in Christian origins, I can tell you that my unorthodox understanding, albeit based firmly on the New Testament epistles themselves, there was a HUGE rivalry between James the Brother of the Lord (whom you call James the Less), who was the bishop of Jerusalem and head of what we could call the church in the mid-first century, and St. Paul as the “leader” of the antinomians. The Jewish Christians did follow the Jewish law, did circumcise and did require their converts to do so. For whatever it’s worth, we have a canonical letter from James “a servant of Jesus Christ” stating, “Faith without works is dead.” On the opposite side of this, as Professor Eisenman notes, St. Paul seems to be well aware of the terminology used at Qumran (the Dead Sea Scrolls community), but turns it on its head, using it against them. He also has concludes that Paul was an Herodian, was not Jewish and was probably a Roman collaborator / infiltrator. Paul describes himself as an “Hebrew of the Hebrews,” as an “Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin,” and in Romans 16 greets his “kinsmen” Herodian, “the littlest Herod.” Eisenman points out that, because Herod was an Edomite and not a Jew, he and other Edomites would refer to themselves as Hebrews because they shares a common descent from Abraham and his ancestor Eber (hence the name “Hebrew”). Nor were the tribal distinctions still extent in the first century, such that for a Jew to call himself a “Benjamite” that late makes no sense, but he says it would make sense for an Edomite to so describe himself as one of the sons of Benjamin apparently married one of the daughters of Esau. Hence the Edomites could claim to be “Benjaminites.” Now, he writes 1000+ page books, so you have to be REALLY interested in the material to read them. They’re not for everybody. But if this offends you, please don’t hate me! It’s only a fun intellectual exercise to me. We can be friends even if you’re Catholic! 🙂 What matters is the preservation of the white race, and if we achieve that, then we can all enjoy all kinds of scholarly endeavors instead of ducking bullets from bonobo monkeys!

Are you referring to circumcision? If so, I’m not ADVOCATING circumcision and think that all non-medical circumcision of minors of either gender should be banned. If an adult wants to do it, well, that’s his business. However, when I talk about history, I will do my best to reconstruct what actually occurred. Ergo, if St. James the Less, St. Peter, etc., advocated circumcision, which is what the evidence we have indicates, then that’s what I’ll say happened. That does NOT mean that I personally agree with it. I can tell you that the Jew Alexander Levine Hamilton advocated a central bank, a monarchy and an unlimited federal government, but I don’t advocate these things.

@scott: Yes, though was once a girl, am now a woman. :]
Whoa, your biblical discourse has left me in the dust. Have never explored these things that deeply, though, as a Latin scholar, have always been passionate about Roman history, the Empire’s occupation of ancient Middle Eastern lands when Yeshua allegedly lived.
Left Christianity years ago, am Soto-Rinzai Zen Buddhist, pleased with my zendo and roshi/teacher.
The contemplative, introspective nature of this spiritual path suits me. Spiritual traditions based on superstition are not for me. In my view, answers lie within, not without, if you catch my meaning.
Interestingly, our zendo has several apostate Jewish members.

I personally don’t care what gnostics think.

What if I were to tell you that I bought a book from Ostara Publications which makes the case that Buddhism was founded by whites? I haven’t read it yet (I have sooooooooooo many books to read, and I have to work, and work out too, as well as fulfill my OBLIGATION as a white person of breeding age, which is virtually impossible in California because the girls are almost all lost to the Left), but look forward to doing so.

Oh, and I love your “allegedly.” haha I don’t want to start some religious war. I look at these things SOLELY through the historical and archaeological, as opposed to the confessional, eye, but I’ve read Price, Doherty, some Carrier (I want to read his new one!), and some of the older writers. It’s certainly an intriguing theory, whether or not it’s true!

I wish I was fluent in Latin. 🙁

Well, maybe that’s because they’ve had the most exposure to it? What if Christian missionaries had gone to Asian but Buddhist missionaries had gone to Europe?

Eisenman is not the most reliable analyst of the NT, and too much reliance should not be placed on this one writer. He is not far removed from the army of scholars – Jewish, Christian or Atheist – who claim that “The Holocaust” was “caused” by the early church.

This view, as you briefly outline it, is quite respectable and widely held. I have his “New Testament Code”, as wearisome to read as it is unsatisfactory, and “Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered”, which has of course been challenged by the “Strugnellites”. His anti-anti-Semitic agenda has become more obvious as he has gone on.

The differences between James and Paul are reflected, if redacted, in Acts, although the Council of Jerusalem decision is there settled not by James, as superficially supposed, but Peter. No, I don’t especially disagree with what you say here, which is a reasonable if uncertain reading of the early evidence. I just put a question mark against much, not all, in books like “Holy Blood/Holy Grail”. So many angles are provided by by no means compatible “unorthodox” speculations, often Jewish although there is nothing wrong about that in itself; for instance, Schonfield’s “Passover Plot”, Tabor’s “Jesus Dynasty”, Hyam Maccoby’s “Sacred Executioner”. For one good on-line brief introduction to competitive theories, see Peter Kirby’s website, and an amusing RC survey of them, past and present, Charlotte Allen’s “The Human Jesus”. There are HUNDREDS more substantial scholarly studies, and these controversies never cease.

Personally I believe that Jesus was a real historic personality and have written an essay on the sense of humor evident in his preaching techniques. I keep an open mind, but I have come, somewhat reluctantly, to the view that the “resurrection experiences” (James, Peter, John &c) were entheogenic. I sincerely regret I cannot afford the time to discuss this subject, which has intrigued me since schooldays, at greater length, and in any case this site, and the moderator, would go bang if we tried to debate it here!

Best wishes with your future studies; I suggest, with respect, that you start by looking through Bammel & Moule’s “Jesus and the Politics of his Day” (which includes contributions from Walter Grundmann, the “notorious” ex-Nazi NT scholar).

I have friends who agree to disagree on little things. I do agree that we have bigger fish to fry. Winning the world or at any rate our part of it back is Priority One.

Europeans must not cull themselves again by religious differences or ideological wars. Your last sentence is the axiom from which all of us must begin; the other things can be discussed politely meanwhile and settled later.

Ella, am I guilty of sloth? I tend to get distracted from my work, which everyone agrees is important – by interesting but non-crucial intellectual arguments and studies. Even white nationalism. A friend looked at it, said it’s right and then said I should have white children but I don’t need to study the in’s and out’s all day long. She’s right. But I don’t play video games anymore, don’t watch sports, almost never watch movies, am not interested in p—, etc. So am I guilty of sloth?

Are you saying that the state can be a brutish, soulless thing with no sense of Justice and Mercy?

Twenty gang-bangers assigned to Bossman’s house; he is begging for them.

Human beings are more than just animals. They have a sense of Justice and Mercy.

Justice for the nations means just that, and other nations than the USA should be required to show it, especially to their own peoples.

Mercy in any practical sense would mean provision of ideas for agricultural development and family planning to other countries.
