“I asked, last year, where are all the Maccabees? I still haven’t found them. ”
Certainly don’t look towards Israel with its disgusting, crooked, cretin of a Prime Minister named Ehud Olmerde. Regarding Olmered I can only quote what Winston Churchill once said of a former British Prime Minster named Stanley Baldwin “I personally wish Mr. Baldwin no harm, but Britain would have been better off if he had never been born”.

Happy Chanukah Debbie!
Let’s hope and pray the Jews and Christians of this country realize our common threat and unite to resist it.

Debbie
From a Hindu fan of yours, wish you and our Jewish friends a very Happy Chanukah!
Posting from India, it was sad that this year had to be the first that Jewish blood was deliberately targeted and spilt on September 26th, but may that encourage us to confront not only our Mohammedan enemies, but the PCMC masses (both in the West, Israel and India) who (wittingly or unwittingly) enable them.

Happy Chanukah Debbie,
Thanks for the history lesson. Though I’m not religious, my older sister (a doctor) converted to your faith and is also married to a Jewish doctor. Steve’s parents both lost their families in the Holocaust, but made it to America after the war. Steve’s dad was a doctor as is Steve’s brother. Wonderful people. Steve and my sister have 3 kids, Rebecca, Rachel, and Mathew.
My sister unfortunatley I don’t think recognizes the threat, I hope she is not one of the problems too. I pray the Jews in America (and Israel) wake up soon, as I hope too that every American comes to their senses. Otherwise I fear for the future.
Best wishes to you during this holiday season.

One of the most important laws of Chanukah is “pirsumei nisa”, to publicize the miracle. Today, I believe this is really important. While many Jews participated in the “63 Million-Plus Moron March” (quoting Debbie from http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2008/11/video_of_the_da_30.html) for Obama and are among the leading apologists for Islamofacism and are leading advocates of Dhimmism, so are many non Jews.
Both Jews and non Jews need to take an example from this holiday so that we can stick up for what is right against the dark forces of Islamofacism.

Happy Chanukah Debbie …
May 2009 bring us many new and exciting miracles that’ll enrich our lives, as Americans, our great nation, and further steps toward the elimination of terror from this planet.
I do believe in miracles.

Happy Chanukkah Ms. Schlussel.
As you allude to quite often, until we can wake up from our Soma induced politically correct somnambulance, we as human beings, not just Jews or Americans, or even American Jews are doomed. At least the Maccabee weren’t wimps. They didn’t sit around and take it. The liberal Jewish establishment has, extremely unfortunately, become the representatives of the Jewish people. We therefore continually get sucker punched and beaten down and do things against common sense and against our own best interests.
Until such time that we wake up and are willing to call a terrorist “a terrorist”, a killer “a killer”, (and a liberal “an ignorant, misinformed, naive, no-good you-know-what”) and whatever else they need to be called, we will always be on the losing end: giving up land, getting bombed, electing politicians who will sell us even further down the river….
As for the intermarriage thing, all of my parents friends have at least one child (and in some cases ALL children) intermarried. It’s sad, very sad. In America, the strength is also the weakness. The very opportunity that allows us to come here and be free from tyranny, also allows us to come here and cast off all responsibilities and obligations.
