If you knew me well, you’d know I care very little, if at all, about monetary support of the Republican Party.
And, if you read carefully, you’d notice that I never said that Al-Jazeera shouldn’t be at the convention. I was merely surprised to find them there, seeing as how they tend to advocate all possible anti-American sentiments.
Ron Silver’s speech was great. I merely noted down the few bits of it that I could, since he spoke reasonably fast, and I don’t know shorthand. I should have made that clearer, I guess. But he was an excellent speaker.
Forgivenness: way more difficult than you seem to make it out to be. I have never seen the person who can immediately, and honestly, forgive all wrongs, however large. Most people I’ve met who snootily tell me how much better they are than I because they’re chock full of forgivenness and are above all the pettiness of emotions, tend to be some of the people who are the most viciously vengeful against anyone who disagrees with them.
I’m not perfect. I’m as full of yetzir harah (look it up) as anyone. I don’t want to be full of anger at Muslims, but I just spent two weeks in a tiny little country surrounded by giant Muslim theocracies who want to eradicate aforesaid tiny little country simply because it’s full of Jews (and yes, they’ve said as much, many times), many of whom are my closest friends.
I hope I will get over and past the anger some day, the sooner the better. The fact is, I am not. And I won’t be dishonest and say I am.
