Need To Go Along To Get Along

EED TO GO ALONG TO GET ALONG?
BE A HYPOCRITE!
EASY, 12-STEP GUIDE SHOWS YOU HOW!

Where would we poor, contingent humans be if we could not invoke our alleged natural right to call things by their wrong names? How else might we then be able to get on in the world given our abject terror in the face of our own natural life and animal death?

Moreover, without the god-given right to dissemble, what would become of those who hold us all together by telling us what to think and feel and believe, and how to behave and obey?

Gracious me! There would be no leaders of prescribed culture, economy, politics and religion at all! For example: there would be no RUSH, no BILLl, NO PRIESTS! My goodness! Who in their right mind could even abide it for an instant?

As everyone knows, truth can be a powerful adversary. So, for that, it is no easy task to misrepresent anything if you are acting all alone.

But not to fret! My answer to this difficulty is simply to betray myself by being personally duplicitous only in tandem with the experts - people who really know how to tell a tall story in order to advance their own power, profit and privilege in the world to piggy-back, as it were.

An example of how this solution works in my own case is given below. It is an easy, 12-step program, offered with the hope that, like me, you might find it to be a useful guide in all of your self-destructive endeavors to get on in this world as well.

(1) I treasure the Jews for Abraham and Job. Like men, they took Yahweh's measure and found it wanting for all its bogus, politically motivated I am anti-Semitic!

(2) I laud the Jews for bringing the sacred down to earth in good faith as an active agent in all of human history. I am anti-Semitic!

(3) I honor the Jews for their uncompromising rebellion against murderous human mediocrity, cowardice, corruption, hypocrisy, fear and greed. I am anti-Semitic!

(4) I love the Jews for teaching the world what it really means to be human, not just like everybody else. I am anti-Semitic!

(5) From the bottom of my heart, I empathize with Jewish suffering, not with the uses of Jewish suffering to cause more suffering. I am anti-Semitic!

(6) I honor all Jews for their obedience to the law as distinct from their allegiance to Zionist opportunism. I am anti-Semitic!

(7) I abominate the subordination of the American promise to the travails and exigencies of any foreign state. I am anti-Semitic!

(8) I abhor any double standard that would arbitrarily elevate one people at the expense of another. I am anti-Semitic!

(9) I discern no more moral or practical relevance in a Jewish state rolling in the mud to get clean than I perceive in a Nazi state scapegoating a Jew for its purity. I am anti-Semitic!

(10) To my great dismay, I fear for the soul of Judaism, not for the integrity of a Zionist nuclear monopoly in the Middle East. I am anti-Semitic!

(11) Ends do not justify means. Ends are the means! I am anti-Semitic!

(12) My best friend of some 30 years recently became a convert to Judaism. He no longer tolerates me. Nor, are we able to speak truthfully to each other anymore. The reason is clear.

I am anti-Semitic!
