Jerome Corsi and Sandy Rios discuss how the Jews are the 'worst enemy of the country'

Today on her radio program, Sandy Rios of the American Family Association hosted right-wing author and WND reporter Jerome Corsi to talk about his new book, The Bad Samaritans: The ACLU’s Relentless Campaign to Erase Faith from the Public Square. Corsi, who has written top conservative books such as Unfit for Command and Where’s the Birth Certificate?, told Rios that the ACLU is trying to “eliminate God and attack the family” in order to “make the United States a socialist country” that ultimately “takes away our freedoms.”

Rios, who earlier asserted that secular Jews often “turn out to be the worst enemies of the country,” asked Corsi about the “powerful Jewish forces behind the ACLU.” Corsi said that such forces are trying to make America “abandon the Judeo-Christian tradition” and therefore abandoning “values that are fundamental lynchpins of our freedom.”

After a discussion of the ACLU’s involvement in the Scopes Monkey Trial, Corsi said that the group is using evolution “to destroy America and eliminate our freedoms.” He said that the ACLU wants to make it so “we can’t have God in our hearts and our schools and our prayers and our public square” and that people don’t hear the “good scientific arguments” for Creationism.

He later maintained that the organization’s support for marriage equality and reproductive rights are part of “the destruction of the family and the attack on God,” which the ACLU hopes will prepare America “to embrace radical socialism.”

And they are not all "secular" Jews!

Her name is Rios:

This disgusts me:

Later on in the show, Rios said that “there are very few” religious people in Israel, “by and large Israel is an atheistic country, they don’t really believe in the God of their fathers, there’s no question about that,” and maintained that Christians must “evangelize and pray for our Jewish brothers and sisters.”

Jew? Check. Secular? Check. ACLU? Check. Support equality? Check.

Maybe if I could hear those “good scientific arguments for Creationism” it would help. I can't wait!

SO they admit on TVEE that they do not have faith in their own religions God to be omnipotent? Clearly if God can be eliminated by the ACLU or they believe this, then they are...well I already know they are morans. How about really stupid morans. The AFA should be labeled a domestic terrorist organization. The fuel the fire for skinheads and the KKK.

Jews are trying to take God out of public discourse and get the country away from the Judeo-Christian tradition. Don't Jews and Christians have the same God?

These people never get that their own religious freedom is at stake, as once the government gets involved in religion, its religion could change and they could be the ones out in the cold.

God doesn't care about the public square. Why do they assume everyone must be talking about Him in political arenas constantly? And don't they realize others could take about Allah or the FSM?

It sounds like it just means "secular," or maybe "former Jew." One never hears the terms "secular catholic" or "secular baptist." "Secular muslim?" Yet "secular Jew" seems commonplace. Does it mean someone from a Jewish family who does not practice the Jewish religion, i.e. is it a comment about non-religious ethnicity rather than about religious beliefs? Are non-religious people from Jewish families that ethnically distinct? Not in my experience, which is admittedly limited to my own circle of acquaintances.

In any event, I find it confusing. Most of the folks that I know who fit that latter characterization likely refer to themselves simply as atheists. I suppose I'm a secular rabid-fucking-insane-batshit-crazy-Christian, of the deep south bible belt variety, but "atheist" is so much shorter and more succinct.

Christians don't have that uhm... flexibility. I sometimes say I'm a Jewish atheist. My rabbi is an atheist too, but I only see him at atheist and ACLU meetups.

BTW, there are over a hundred secular synagogs in the US.

I have no religious tendencies, never did. I tried to get out of my Bar Mitzvah. Told the rabbi I didn't believe in any of this stuff. He shot me down good. He said, "What -- you think I believe it?" I had no answer for that.

To this day my rule is: I will participate in any religious observance where the food is good. Gimme a latke!

BTW, my "tribal" sensibilities were heightened by reading Isaac Asimov's books on the Old and New Testaments. Very informative.

guess what? He finds them like this one he 'found' earlier this month:

In response to Obama’s plug for the trans-oceanic partnerships, investigative reporter Jerome Corsi noted: “Obama’s open discussion of the two-oceans TPP and TAP free trade agendas during his recent SOTU attests to the persistence of globalists. ... In order to prevent this, both sides of the internationalists’ agenda must be countered simultaneously: Illegal immigration must be controlled and amnesty denied, and new “free trade” pacts between the United States and other nations must be stopped and existing ones, such as NAFTA, repealed.

When nutters engage in their crazy conspiracy theories, they usually bring in the joooooooos sooner or later. Quite depressing.
