This Jewish princess equates being non-judgemental with a serious threat to the survival of liberty? Does not judgementalism imply right and wrong and loss of liberty of those who are wrong in the judger’s eyes? Your freedom stops at the end of my nose, Brother and Sister so-called freedom-lovers. Children naturally view the world with awe. Grown-ups lose that and that is the problem. Grown-ups spank the children, not the other way around. “Except ye become as a little child….” Ah, but her people would never believe such a prophet. Grow young and stay young. Forever young or forever damned. Sorry, guess I am too immature to get this. She digs the idea of another Crusades. Divide 13 Million by 3 Billion to get the relative percentage of her chosen persuasion who will ride the backs of the beasts in the next Crusade, assuming they do not have as perilous an effect as they had long ago and far away.
The history of the Jews and the Crusades is one of Crusader atrocities against Jews and has become a part of the history of anti-Semitism for the Jews in the Middle Ages.
In the First Crusade flourishing communities on the Rhine and the Danube were utterly destroyed by some crusaders (see German Crusade, 1096). In the Second Crusade (1147) the Jews in France suffered especially. Philip Augustus treated them with exceptional severity during the Third Crusade (1188). The Jews were also subjected to attacks by the Shepherds’ Crusades of 1251 and 1320.
The atrocities were opposed by the local bishops and widely condemned at the time as a violation of the Crusades’ aim, which was not directed against the Jews. However, the perpetrators mostly escaped legal punishment. Also, the social position of the Jews in western Europe was distinctly worsened, and legal restrictions increased during and after the Crusades. They prepared the way for anti-Jewish legislation of Pope Innocent III. The crusades resulted in centuries of strong feelings of ill will on both sides and hence constitute a turning point in the relationship between Jews and Christians.
Ah the good ole days when men were men, grown-up men (and the women who loved them) and judgementalism had its heyday…
The inner child exists within us all. The inner child governs feelings, emotions, memories, unconditional love and joy. The inner child is innocent but very wise. When we tap into our inner child, we are able to remove all the restrictions and negative conditioning of our adult world. Our inner child teaches us how to be free and how to laugh and find joy in the everyday process of living.
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ‘….. and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, ‘The sky is falling, the sky is falling!’ The teacher paused then asked the class, ‘And what do you think that farmer said?’ One little girl raised her hand and said, ‘I think he said; ‘Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'’ The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
Let’s play: Who’s the grown-up here, since we are bemoaning their apparent passing from history where judgementalism ruled the day.
It’s the birthday of John Ross, born near Lookout Mountain, North Carolina (1790), who became acting Chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1827. He spent his early life trying to design a new government for the Cherokees, based on the U.S. government, with a constitution and three separate but equal branches and democratically elected leaders. He respected the American justice system so much that when the state of Georgia tried to force Cherokees off their land, John Ross chose not to go to war, but instead took Georgia to court. It was the first time that an Indian tribe had ever sued the U.S. over treaty rights, and the case went all the way to the Supreme Court. The case was decided in 1832, and Chief Justice John Marshall wrote in his opinion that the state of Georgia did not have jurisdiction over Cherokees and therefore could not force the Cherokees to leave their land. But President Andrew Jackson refused to enforce the decision. He said, “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.” Six years later, 15,000 Cherokees were forced out of their homes at gunpoint by American soldiers, gathered together in camps and then forced to walk to the new “Indian Territory” west of the Mississippi, an event that became known as The Trail of Tears. The camps had horrible hygienic conditions, and an epidemic of dysentery killed an estimated 8,000 Cherokees, including John Ross’s wife.
