Organized Religion will be quickly denigrated.
And excuse me, but name one Media owner who is not
Jewish?
Hollywood? Wall St? Obama's Chief of Staff son of Irgun?
AIPAC? Is their a more powerful DC Lobby?
At some point, Israel has to be talked about.

I've never understood anti-semitism. It's not uncommon for some minorities to trend towards certain lines of work. There are deep historical reasons why Jews are so heavily present in banking (In the middle ages, usury was a sin and only Jews could be bankers). It's just supply and demand.. a long time ago, Jews got into fields that were discouraged / outlawed by the Christian church.
And really, there's nothing stopping Irish Catholics from all getting into banking if they wanted to.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')ichael Moore's latest film, Capitalism, opened weakly with only $1.5 million in box office receipts. For purposes of comparison, Zombieland raked in nearly $10 million. Still, even unsuccessful propaganda can do damage. It's a safe bet that hardly any of those who went to see Zombieland actually believe in zombies, while a considerable number of those who saw Moore's film may actually believe in socialism.

IMO, it's about jealousy. The stereotype is that "The Jews are rich". Never mind that (in the experience of the Jewish families I've known well), there is a culture of hard work and taking excellent advantage of educational opportunities - which tends to lead to financial success.
I mention this as apparently the soak-the-rich theme should ring true with you, since in a post above you assert that we should tax the wealthy at 90%. Brilliant -- chase the most productive people off to other countries. Then we'll be SO much better off.
The top 1% of the taxpayers pay roughly 40% of the income taxes already.
As I keep asking redistributionists of other people's money (and never get a meaningful answer) -- how much is enough?
(And no, I'm not rich, nor am I Jewish).
