Savage's Curly-Haired Devils


As the Middle East heats up, some prominent liberal Jews have condemned Israel’s response to attacks by Hezbollah and Hamas. A Jewish acquaintance recently complained about Michael Savage’s characterization of these self-loathing liberal Jews as curly-haired-devils. I’m no Michael Savage fan, but I understand why he said what he said. Here’s my response:
Savage’s reference to curly-haired devils has to do with behavioral toxicity, not cosmetics. His slur only offends the ethically-challenged. Jews who question Israel’s right to defend itself or it’s right to exist are far worse than non-Jews the same way that domestic saboteurs are more dangerous than declared enemies. Their pathology is likely something akin to the white guilt that Shelby Steele describes.

If Israel doesn’t have the right to exist, what country does? Jews who dismiss their rich history and contributions to humanity for some unwarranted “Palestinian guilt” are much worse than curly-haired devils. And these curly-haired devils expose themselves by expressing their outrage. Curly-haired Zionists are not affected.

The context of his comments was far different from Jesse Jackson’s Hymietown, which offended everyone except guilt-ridden curly-haired devils. Savage’s slur was about ethics and character, NOT ethnic characteristics.

(Do) you realize that Christians desire the End of Days believing that Jewish control of Israel is mandatory for it to occur. They do not support Israel for the same reason that Jews do. Can you understand that? When you are cast into Hell by your Christian fellows, I'll be falling with you. Maybe you and I can see eye-to-eye then.
As a lifelong Christian who knows many other lifelong Christians, this is news to me. God casts people into Hell, not Christians – which might be why curly-haired devils would prefer not to believe in God. And if you fear Christians more than God, your faith has gone astray. I’m no rabbi, but I have a pretty good relationship with God. You need to figure out where your faith collapsed.

But let’s focus on the secular issue: If Israel doesn’t have the right to exist, none of us have the right to exist. Those who embrace that nihilism are much worse than curly-haired devils.

LAUSD: Kill Your Teacher

Rabbi Nachum Shifren (also known as the Surfing Rabbi) has penned Kill Your Teacher, a story that recounts his tenure as a Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) teacher from 1991 (see bio). Despite his service in the Israeli Defense Forces and the Southern California’s dangerous riptides as an award-winning lifeguard, his most daunting battles pit him against LAUSD’s despotic rulers, inner city gangs, and institutionalized incompetence.

In less than 100 pages, Rabbi Shifren captures the unredeemable failure within LAUSD, describing the effects of intellectual rape upon millions of children at the hands of crime bosses who call themselves school administrators.

Unlike broader analyses of LAUSD’s failures, Rabbi Shifren shows us what it’s like in the front lines where school administrators defend illiteracy as a racial birthright, while destroying those who expose LAUSD for what it is – a sham, a criminal gang, a regime that destroys not with bombs, but with the expectation (they call it multiculturalism) that brown-skinned children are too stupid and lazy to achieve in public schools. Rabbi Shifren puts his life, career, and family on the line to make life better for all children.

As a career LA cop, I have investigated criminal gangs and countless felons. I know what a criminal enterprise looks like.

The LAUSD is a criminal enterprise worthy of Rico Act prosecution. For at least thirty years, LAUSD has extorted millions of dollars from union members and embezzled billions of tax dollars through front organizations and union bosses, to politicians who empower and protect the unions and bosses who feed them. This symbiosis drives the Tammany Hall of the 21st century.

LAUSD cannot be reformed from within or by politicians seduced by union dollars. It is a political growth that cannot merely be broken into smaller tumors. Until ALL funding is redirected to students in the form of vouchers, millions of American children will continued to be intellectually crippled by LAUSD, driving thousands of motivated young teachers away from public education.

LAUSD is the Kim Jong-il of public education. I urge every parent, aunt, and uncle to read Kill Your Teacher ($12.99).
