I Did Not Vote for This Communist the First Time
I checked his family history and it is not pretty.
The Only Thing I got was Loose Change in My Pocket. Sweet-talking Fancy Man!
Barack Obama was brought up in Hawaii and was the epitome of the spoiled brat. His grandparents raised him after his mother had passed away.
Before giving up the ghost, his mother, Ann, made sure that he got a solid religious education—-in an Indonesian madrassa. If you are not sure what a madrassa is, let me enlighten you. It is a school for Muslims.
Once, a Catholic priest, whom I was having cocktails with in a Pittsburgh bar told me: “If I get them before 9-years-old, I have them for life.” Hmmm. My mother dutifully sent us to Mt. Zion Lutheran church and Sunday school. Most of it stuck, but I ended up marrying a Jew. Because I never believed in two religions in one household, and Judaism spoke to me, I converted 5 years after my marriage.
At this point, you may wonder what a Catholic priest was doing at a pick-up bar in downtown Pittsburgh. I was there for the drinks. Pittsburghers like their drinks large and their meals larger. No, we don’t go for that Nouvelle Cuisine nonsense where you get a tablespoon of food and a carrot slice. A true Pittsburger will demand their money back when served nothing.
So, after this priest had been duly medicated on alcohol, and had in fact bought me a few, he confessed to being a priest. This did not bother me a bit, as he was very generous with my tab. I never had any intention of sleeping with him. Why do they call it sleeping? Unless you are hypnotized, you are awake during sex, as far as my experience dictates. Then again, maybe some freak out there is into necrophilia.
Flash forward a few decades and I became a wife and mother. When I was, ten months pregnant with our second child, I took a class in Judaism and this consisted of paying $200 to an orthodox synagogue, and not unlike baptism, I got to go in a hot tub. Our firstborn told me “Daddy is not Jewish.” Why? “ “You did not make him dunk.” David was never a water baby and does not really like swimming to this day. Our daughter loved the water, and since I had a pricey hot tub visit, she was born Jewish. My son had been circumcised by a Mohel. That is the guy who comes to your home and does it.
Mohels are incredibly wealthy. Instead of going to medical school, Jewish kids ought to aspire to the real money by learning the art and science of foreskin removal. This practice began with the covenant, or agreement that Abraham forged with God. I would rather say, “My son the Mohel instead of My son the doctor.
Another attachment that I have for Judaism is that my father, who died the day after his 41st birthday had often told me, “If I go back to organized religion, I will be a Jew.” His reasoning was that he believed Judaism to be the most unadulterated religion available.
Biblical prophesy does state (somewhere,) that at the end times, all Jews will become Christian. So, I figure I have my bases covered. Our family name is Cohen. That is the Jewish name for “The Priesthood.”
My husband is far from a Priest, but he is often called upon during synagogue services when the Ark is opened and the Torah, the first five books of the bible, are brought out. Our synagogue is Chabad of Isla Verde and leans orthodox. During our Philadelphia years, we belonged to a far more liberal Chabad. That would suit me better, but all that I need to do now is walk through the beach in my Sunday best, wearing flip flops.
I admit seeing the puzzled faces of tourists is fun. Also, our rabbi is a very good speaker. It is a friendly congregation with loads of interesting people attending. After services, we go to lunch. This is called Oneg Shabbat. Of course, this is included with the membership. No one is turned down from membership due to a lack of funds. It almost sounds like Christianity in a purer form. In fact, our prayer book, or Sedur says this of the Almighty: “He has the power to raise the dead.”
This is the nexus of Judeo/Christian philosophy and although most citizens are not aware, The Constitution was based on the Ten Commandments. So yes, Judeo-Christian ethics are what built this nation.
Other religions, like Buddism and Islam, and even Druids are free to worship as they please. Druids may not engage in human sacrifice as they did in the days of Stone Henge. But The United States of America is based on Christianity. Sorry AOC, but we are a Center-Right nation. None of your crazy socialist ideas are going to fly here.
By the way AOC, I want to know how and where you got your fancy duds. I thought that members of Congress were not allowed to accept expensive gifts. Methinks that this lass is stuffing her pockets and pocketbooks with ill-gotten gains. Clearly, I did the wrong thing by studying my sweet petunias off to be an RN. My husband also did the wrong thing by becoming a casualty actuary. After 34 years of marriage, if he is speaking the secret actuarial language, I still have no idea what he is saying. Ladies, if you do not like math, marry a mathematician. Our son is also great at numbers.
The two of us recently took a ten-day trip to New Mexico. Every time I got the restaurant check, I had him add it up and look for discrepancies. This is what I deserve after pushing his 10.4 baby body out of something the diameter of a garden hose.
I this being opportunistic? Damned straight! Our ex-President Obama, whom I have lovingly nicknamed Ovomit, transformed every single insider trading and money-making opportunity into an art form. I am truly amazed, disgusted, and totally jealous.
It seems that politics is where the real money is these days. When I told a friend the other day that I was thinking of becoming an illicit politician, she shook her head. That is because she knows I am honest.
To be fair, I do know of a politician who is incredibly honest. His name is Curt Schroder, and when he found that his salary as a Pennsylvania Statehouse member was inadequate for his growing family, he went out and got a job in the private sector. The same may be said for Senator Jim DeMint, R, South Carolina. He had been a successful businessman and was liked and trusted by the Tea Party. He is also an author and is now ready to release a novel.
I was also heavily involved in the Independence Park Tea Party in Philadelphia. It was an exciting and gratifying time for me. Unfortunately, this won us a tax audit.
So, when a friend and I wanted to start an anti-corruption party called the Mofongo Party (We Bite Back!) my husband said, “Woman, you are not doing a damned thing.” Well, he does our taxes and other mathematical tasks, so he does have the last say.
Still, I dream about getting back in the game of political activism. It is my duty as a citizen. Plus, it’s fun…once you learn how.
