Dennis Interviews Jewish Leftist, Jay Michaelson of Daily Beast

Autumn came to the Twin Cities this morning doing what it usually does in October here in the northland.     The outdoor temperature dropped about 35 degrees over night, which along with its wind and eventually  its wet stuff,   my workday was cut short.   I abandoned my weapons, the wheelbarrow, shovels, mulch, pruning, and plantings and headed indoors to the radio to hear the last hour of today’s  Dennis Prager  radio show.

Dennis introduced  a Jay Michaelson, a leftist  American Jew  writing at  the Daily Beast to his audience.   Mr. Michaelson had written a strikingly negative article against Ben Carson, a strikingly civil and polite American and an unusual  Republican candidate for our nation’s presidency.   Note the following youtube video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwCRGFfUP5g

Jay Michaelson advertised his authentic  Jewishness as Dennis began inquiring why the Daily Beast writer slandered Mr. Carson as “anti-Semitic, immoral, and disgusting”  for uttering his view that Germany’s Jews in the 1930s  might not have been as victimized by the Nazis  had they  second amendment protections to bare arms as we do in the United States.

How dare Mr. Carson blame the victim! today’s national irrationals  screamed….a claim common among America’s leftists these days in their effort to set opponents  everywhere into oblivion.  Mr. Michaelson is  an activist  in the American gay crowd as well as an extremist in political affairs.  He apparently has an enormous  ability to speak very rapidly, very wordily and at great length expelling any need for him  to be forced of find cause to  listen to anyone’s  response……a common rule of verbal practice among history’s  tyrants both at home and abroad.

Rational Dennis bobbed and stuttered, rational as usual, attempting to  break  into the obnoxious  Michaelson’s  “Ice Cap” for even an inch or two of thoughtful conversing, Jew to Jew, let’s say, in order to help Jay think rationally for at least a moment or two about his claims against Christian Carson.

I lasted listening to the disorder for about  fifteen minutes.  True tyrants care nothing about Truth.  Winning by whatever means is all that matters.  Dennis tried to converse, but lost.   Jay spoke an entirely different dialect, perhaps even  language.

I was raised in a modest, newly built  neighborhood where Jews resided, here  in the urban  midwest , beginning school in 1939 where “minority” had no meaning for me and others,  until, I am guessing,  about sixth grade when THE War was over.  True, I had not been allowed by Jews  to play with friends  inside  their homes in our  neighborhood as a child,  but I had no feel of meaning  regarding the matter for I was welcomed elsewhere.

I was very dyslexic then.  I was a very crippled reader.  I couldn’t make visual sense of letters rather essential when trying to read sentences and paragraphs and gather in what has been ‘read’.

I had no Jewish friends until third grade when, I unexpectedly starred in class when Lucille Jaeger, my teacher  asked me in front of the entire class,  it if were true that I could draw  the map of the United States by heart.   (I could….and actually  even knew all of the state capitals as well.)

She knew I couldn’t read, but that didn’t stop her from having us  students practice our  reading skills…..or lack of them….by standing up next to our desks in front of everyone to prove it.  All I could do was stutter something or another, or repeat  what jokesters (usually a  Jewish kid)  sitting nearby offered  me  words  “to read”….usually to get the class to chuckle over my imaginations.   I had no friends in these classes, only those at home in my neighborhood…..until this very event when unaware of it all, I struck a bull’s eye, which, I believe, changed my scholastic life thereafter.

Mrs. Jaeger very politely asked me   if I wouldn’t  mind, to go to the  blackboard to make such a drawing…….as I recall, the first time I was ever asked something as simple to do to demonstrate  to others.  Despite dyslexia,  I could read the names of every country  in the world and their capitals  from all of the atlases I had been given at home and had countless times traced their borders, but drawing the United States and its states was my specialty.

I remember almost running to the board. As when drawing at home, I  began   with the state of Washington’s  Puget Sound, drew southward  down the California coast to Mexico,  turning eastward with the straight lines  and the Rio Grande to the Gulf where  funny-looking Louisiana sat with  its Mississippi delta, and so on eastward to Florida’s peninsula and upward along the Atlantic to Maine, then back west with the Great Lakes and Minnesota’s ‘bump’ and the straight 49th parallel  line back to Washington.

Mrs. Jaeger was astounded, but better yet, so was the entire class, even more so, when finished with my minute’s work, I asked if she’d like me to draw the states in as well.

In those days during and for a period  after the war, one could get state  road maps free at your local Diamond DX, Standard, Pure, Texaco, Deep Rock, Skelly and other corner gas stations by just asking.    I still have over three hundred of the collected  in my possession.   My love for maps sent me to love geography, history, astronomy, and discovery  in general despite my difficulties  with reading .  I discovered only recently that my mind took pictures of what I wanted to remember or have fun with.  Until my 81st year, my memory of much of what I had learned was impeccable.

It was that interest, that act at the blackboard that opened my life to our  local Jewish community.   I suddenly collected school friends…..even the  handful of the know-it-all in-your-face classical noisy, obnoxious leftish  Jewish boys, the Jay Michaelsons of my youth and  the Alan Dershowitz’s of my older years who only hear, and care to hear, the words of their voices with such complete certainty of their   superiority uber alles.

Throughout my aware life, I have discovered  the loudest voices among Americans  hating America  have been from the programmed, well rehearsed, antiChristian, very leftwing male Jewish sounds, noises similar to those of Daily Beasts’  Jay Michaelson advertised on Dennis’s radio show today, and those active in today’s Obama hate-America politics.   Luckily, I wound up bonding well with the more conservative kind of these fellow  Americans, the ones with whom conversations of significance can be shared, with whom I have found much in common.
