Dear Chancellor Angela Merkel

Dear Chancellor Angela Merkel;

I am a private citizen, Disabled, Jew-ish, and Gay.  I live in the United States.  I am aware of the allegations of 'spying,' Snowden and the NSA, the tapping and privacy invasions of French citizens and U.S. citizens as well.

I am aware of SecState Kerry's 'reasonable-sounding' 'explanations' that go something like this:  " ... make every effort to balance ... fighting terrorism ... and privacy ..." etc.

And now the allegations that your own privacy may have been violated, and it would not surprise me in the least.  Look:

That is from a Public Library computer workstations terminal, where I am typing this, right now, terminal #8, in Priest River, Idaho, United States, the time is 14:21, on October 24, 2013.

From the Obama Administration (Kerry inclusive) I have heard every 'reasonable sounding' soundbite and platitude known to man, every topic, every issue, nothing substantive, ever, except selling insurance, which is job-security for future generations of college grads at taxpayer expense, pushing-around paperFAKEwork, instead of providing real medical care to the needy, and/or, proving compassion to those in need; just concocted excuses to profit from the ills of The People; 'maximizing efficiency' and 'increasing productivity' is filling more hospital and prison beds, but as all know, when it comes to healthcare and justice, all beds should be empty, not full, fewer careers profiting from it, not more;

 -- it's fascism 're-branded,' and our countries fought wars over it.

It's like the Twilight Zone, an excuse for everything, as long as a PhD 'signs-off' on it, then all should goose-step in lock-step with it or be labeled, deemed "disgruntled; unintelligent; inferior; mentally ill), and worse) unworthy of being heard."

It's obvious why President Obama and his political party have such opinions and policies toward Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and everywhere else, especially Israel, because any 'reasonable-sounding' soundbite and platitude will 'appease' while he sells insurance.  That's all he cares about, building the most expensive, most massive in history, giant "monument unto self" called, "Obamacare," like King Saul, who memorized all the 'words' to 'appease,' winning 'hearts and minds' because he was tall and handsome and said "nice, reasonable-sounding things."

I do not hate him; I do not know him as a person; but he does not walk in the figurative shoes of "the people," only those 'future college grads' who will "get rich quick" from his sales-job, at the expense of AllThings (definition of 'everybody' and 'everything' else, e.g., g*d).

PLEASE STAND UP FOR ME

This is the 'land of ...' fake;  fake freedom; fake free-speech; fake no-censorship; fake free-associations; fake 'privacy rights,' fake equality, and now a sales-job to censor and spy neighbor-against-neighbor.  With 'friends' like that, who needs enemies?

I am urging you, and France, and any others whose privacy, whose friendships, have been violated, in any way, to make a big stand; cancel contracts, close embassies, disallow SecState Kerry from your lands for two years.  They won't stop until they're stopped; and every 'reasonable-sounding' explanation/excuse, is 'practice' for their next sales-job.  And that will hurt Euro economy more than Obama's monument unto self.

Have you read the TaNaKh, the Torah?  The writings?  Have you read the Hebrew version of King Saul?  I am no zealot, but there are timeless messages of wisdom there.

Let the friendships between our two countries, our peoples, not be divided.

Kind regards, always,

Defending Rep. Neugebauer (R) Texas

Defending Rep. Neugebauer (R) Texas

Who?  Me?  Defending a man whose face and words have been plastered worldover as the epitome of 'fake-majesty'; so out-of-touch with the realities of "working women" that he takes their 'cake' and 'eats' it, then blames them?  Why would I care?

Simple.  Firstly, I'm no Republican supporter.  They hate my GAY ASS.

That said, Democrats have proved to be all 'lip-service' in their so-called 'defense' of Gay Rights.  Nothing has changed for the vast majority of Gays and Lesbians, still denied 1,1,58 rights and responsibilities afforded everyone else.  Further, en-mass Democratic supporters have extended a form of 'equality' only to their employees (gov't workers) ; which is just money from Professional Unions to balloon the pockets of Legislators, doing nothing for "just folks."  Why would I 'donate' another single dime to such a group?  It's better spent as gifts to the many needy Gays themselves, not pro-unionists and their 'drug-of-choice,' pushing paperFAKEwork, the singular most expensive waste of non-conservation environmental and economic drain in existence, 'flowery words' of 'warm-and-fuzzy' platitudes and 'reasonable-sounding' soundbites inclusive.

Here's the thing:  Those pro-unionists, are about job-security for college grads at taxpayer expense, all paperFAKEwork, the most expensive drain and retardation (stagnation) against human development, ever.  The most wasteful of all natural resource consumption (because it's needless).  But nobody can dispute professionals.  Do you know what the word means?  Just because *YOU* work in a profession, does not make you a "professional."  The profession is DEFINED by the professionals at the top, PhD's.  Everyone else works IN the profession as a worker (or master, usually with an MBA or BofSc or some professionaly-defined credential).  The word is so overused and abused, the mixed-messaging furthers the 'dumbing-down' (obfuscation) of real dialogue, real technical and medical and human advancement and development.

But words in itself do not matter when freely-expressing concepts. Interesting, eh?  And that is a good thing, otherwise we get more paperFAKEwork pushers, censoring the world from an individual's free-expressions (Ministers Of Truth), Orwellian outcomes, worse than the religious extremists that masquerade as 'moderates' who have always slowed and attacked world economy.

So what CONCEPTS are being obfuscated in this day-and-age of sub-dividing Fields into endless 'specialties' to be attached to taxpayer programs for funding?  What is being SOLD as a product, exactly, when it comes to sequestering, furloughing and job-security for generations of college-grads at taxpayer expense in 'health-related' fields?

Selling insurance, for example, is about funding paperFAKEwork bureaucracies (bureauCRAZIES) at taxpayer expense, which is job-security for generations of college-grads at taxpayer expense, union-members, who 'donate' to the Legislative Brranch, primarily the Democratic party.

"Just Believe" was Obama's 'slogan' ; and what you voted for was LESS MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS; specifically Obamacare which gives every person $200-500 LESS MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS PER MONTH.  "Just believe" that 'change' will 'help' you and your family and not reduce the amount of pocket-money spent at your local ma' and pop business.  It's the single most severe punishment inflicted against The People in one fell-swoop ever.  The largest TAX HIKE ever.

YOU VOTED FOR LESS MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.  Not more money, lower taxes.  You voted for LESS MONEY.

Not me.  YOU.

Now you are complaining when you get LESS MONEY?

YOU VOTED FOR IT.  YOU CHEERLEADED FOR IT.  YOU SAID:  "I BELIEVE!  HOORAY!"

Well then, congratulations.  You've been furloughed.  Now you have LESS MONEY.  That's what you said you wanted.  That's what you voted for.  Now you have it.  Enjoy!

 -- (interestingly, I went to a bar last night to see how many were faking being 'furloughed' by not attending; "Oh!  If only those damned Republicans would 'get over it,' I'd have paid my bills and gone out and had a good time!" faking 'victimhood' -- (it's become viral) -- but are not furloughed gov't employees at all -- just brainwashed to spew the 'rhetoric' -- one said something about 'sequestered' -- and Gay Bitch me, said, "You are on a SeaQuest, eh?  Are you a 'lil Mermaid?  Poor thing!"  and laughed.  I'm sick of the blame games; the faking 'victimhood' from free-expression/free-speech; faking 'wounds' from words; I know what real wounds are.)

See, the way the Obamacare package was legislated, it attaches 'elements' to every foreseeable government expense.  Need a grant?  Well, attach a billion to 'FUN'd' a special-class of college-grads in a health specialty field.  Need a college loan?  Attack a billion to 'FUN'd' another element of Obamacare 'specialties.'  Need help to rebuild after a storm?  Well, now you must attach a few billion more to fund yet another 'element' related to Obamacare.  Need money for the military to serve and protect us from aggressors?  Well, attach a few billion to 'FUN'd' a special-class of college-grads and their 'specialty' (hobby) with 10,000-page long PhD-level reports nobody can dispute.  "Just believe!"

YOU VOTED FOR IT. YOU VOTED FOR LESS MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS.

YOU GOT IT.  CONGRATULATIONS.  ENJOY!

 -- meanwhile, infrustructure is crumbling; super-massive-expensive junk.
 -- meanwhile, Gays are being 'represented' by Lesbians claiming they are 'gay' -- fueling hatred against Gays, because that's why we are immersed in endless lawsuits to liberate us from the contemptible 'faith-based' 'healers' of 'gayness' , now a 'speciality field' of 'gay counseling' to be funded by Obamacare?  Job-security for generations of college grads?  And the intentional mixed-messaging is yet another 'job-security' promise to sell credentials from colleges and universities at taxpayer expense, profiting from atop the rubble, misery and grief of their own instigation/HOPE?

 -- meanwhile, there goes the money to help seniors; the disabled; housing for the homeless; job-training; energy assistance; food assistance; education; transportation; YOU VOTED FOR IT.

Congratulations!  YOU GOT WHAT YOU "just believed."  Enjoy!

 -- meanwhile, the lip-service of 'gay equality' mixed-messaging from pro-union Democrat-supporting Lesbians has caused such a back-lash, the majority of states have modified their State Constitutions prohibiting Gay Equality, let alone Marriage Equality.  YOU VOTED FOR IT!  NOT ME!

Congratulations!  You got what you HOPED and PRAYED for.

GAY HOLOCAUST IN PLAIN SIGHT.

I don't know what's in Rep Neugebauer's heart.  But I sense he 'understands' a few things most do not, whether he hates my GAY ASS or not.

Gov't Shutdown's Political CLIMATE CHANGE

All I've heard from Obama supporters is that Republicans are obstructionists, 'out of touch with reality,' and obsessed with rejecting Obamacare; whereas Democrats want a "clean bill" to fund the National Park Service, the Veterans Administration Benefits, etc. ; and that Obamacare is "old news and has nothing to do with it, so why can't Republicans 'get over it' and stop punishing Veterans for it,' that Republicans don't even make sense, have 'no points,' just nonsensical obstructionist diatribe, all "partisan politics," but they (Democrats) are "none of that."

Personally, I see more partisanship from the Dems than the Reps, and I don't like either one.

"You act just like it," I told one Obama supporter, who just interupts the moment I attempt to get-in my 'two-cents' worth; silencing my point-of-view, incapable of intelligent discussion about the topic, engaging only in ad hominems.

I mentioned a recent TV interview:  a reporter, sitting in chairs on a lawn by the Capitol, asking a US Rep how they "feel", regarding getting their own paychecks while denying pay/benefits to wounded Veterans and many others.  The US Rep said something like, "I am working, that's the difference."  I also mentioned the interview of another Congress member who said they are "asking that paychecks be withheld until the government-funding issue is resolved."

Meanwhile, the President is interviewed, and everything he says is still about SELLING INSURANCE.  That's the bottom-line:  selling insurance.

My view about Obamacare is that it's a sales-job, nothing more than selling job-security for generations of future college grads, at taxpayer expense.  Bottom-line.  All professional union jobs, the number-one dollar-generator for politics, mostly Democrats, therefore a huge infusion of money for Democrats, at taxpayer expense.  Sure, there will be 'expanded coverage' for the 'uninsured,' but real medical-care for the needy, it is not.  And those furloughed, or not paid today, due to the fake 'shutdown,' live in houses, know that luxury, making careers claiming they are about 'helping the needy, helping the poor, helping veterans and wounded war heroes,' (who have no luxuries at all, and are condemned, ridiculed and scorned for every cent spent, every product they love, they are hated for buying it, then doubly-taxed just for their love of a product, such as tobacco or alcohol for self-medicating their non-luxury lifestyles, generally without homes to live in, 'migratory' in a sense, any moment could be their last, such as I).

All of which is taken foregranted, those luxuries, those benefits, those comfortable-living lifestyles, where sitting in a chair on a nice warm day, talking, is called 'work.'  I know what real work is, and talking certainly isn't work.  Nor is pushing-around paperwork, and Obamacare, and professional unions concoct more paperwork than any group of people in the history of the world, knowing fully-well that paperwork is the number resource drain in existence, taking a 'bite' out of every service, every job, every economy, every lifestyle, all paid-for by the poorest of the poor, off the backs of the working poor, the neediest of the needy, seniors, disabled, wounded vets and everybody else.

That ideological diversity is ignored and intentionally hated via Obamacare, a new form of 'faith-based' agitation, where selling paperFAKEwork is of higher-priority than environmentalism, conservation, and the most important aspect of government: defending equality.  It's job-security at taxpayer expense, for future generations of college-grads pushing-around paperwork and talking about the needs of the people, spending all the money for themselves, in selfishness, while outlawing and branding and taxing (punishing) everybody else.

Sure, there may be 'expanded coverage' -- (paradigm shift, because the real topic is selling insurance, and that's all, at taxpayer expense) -- but per-procedure medical-services is about maximizing profits for a few, at the expense of the many.

Remember the topic?  EFFICIENCY, CONSERVATION, ENVIRONMENTALISM, including political CLIMATE CHANGE.

See how that works?  Selling insurance (Obamacare) is NOT THE TOPIC.  Who is making it 'the topic' at every mention of anything regarding government?  Obama.  That's what partisanship is, the blame-game of diversion.

I disagree with much/most of what the 235-yr ongoing pissin' match between Republicans and/or Democrats has to say about most everything.  Can you imagine the luxury of never being allowed to discuss -- free-expression -- the real topic, every topic 'hi-jacked' into yet another squabble about selling insurance?  Who did that?

Meanwhile, homelessness is on the rise;  meanwhile, Gays and Lesbians are still denied 1,157 rights and responsibilities in this, the land of fake 'equality', yet Obama (Dems) claim to have "defended Gay Rights' ) --  sure, if an employee of government -- but nothing has changed for the average Gay or Lesbian, and those who live in states without Marriage Equality protections have a 236% increase in expensive psychiatric (private medical) conditions, including depression, domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, obesity and other issues that will now (under Obamacare) generate job-security for professional-union members unto perpetuity.

Recently, and rather tangentially but related, I listened to SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the radio.  She said she hasn't had to cook a meal for herself in 30-yrs; and that she views the 2nd Amendment as "misinterpreted" by SCOTUS, that it's really about funding militias with arms, because historically there was no money to fund a formal military.  That is the same as saying that We The People have no right to private gun ownership.

Can you imagine the luxury?  Without my right to keep and bear arms, I would not be alive.  Can you imagine the luxury? Without my right to own firearms, I would have starved to death.  I've cooked most of my meals over the past 30 years.  I can't imagine the luxury, the fake-majesty of such ideologies that would deny me that right, nor the luxury of claiming some form of 'non-bias' while making decisions about others to deny them of that right.  I can't imagine it.

I can't imagine another tax-bill of $237-500/mo per family.  I don't care what it's for.  There are many months, before September 2001 (and since), before I became disabled, where I could not afford the $50 or more per month MANdated Auto Insurance tax-hike.  Sure, nobody goes to jail for failing to have MANdated auto-insurance; only for failing to pay a fine, so there aren't even statistics collected about that.  It will be the same for this tax-hike.  You won't go to jail for not having MANdated health insurance, but you will be fined, then jailed for failure to pay a fine.

Can you imagine the luxury?  Making-up some 'rule,' that puts money in your own pocket, and then when the 'rule' is not paid/observed, put more money in your own pocket by punishing with a fine for not observing said 'rule,' THEN, claiming the 'rule' has nothing to do with it?

It's not about Obamacare, and the pardigm-shift tactics are scurrilous, at best.  Be healed of it.

Kind regards, always,
Clayton Leon Winton

'Emor 4Gays

'Emor For Gays

I've heard it all my life, quotes from 'scriptures,' condemning me to death; mis-used, abused, out-of-context, spit like vile, venemous, by non-believers, non-worshipers, 'believers' too, just repeated soundbites, by those who do not think for themselves, who only repeat, like robots, parroting commands.

It all stems from the same place, ancient words, translated, re-translated, transliterated, then revised to 'agree' with a certain POLITICAL CLIMATE CHANGE.  The root?  It's not "from the bible," that is a common misconception.  Before the King James version was the Vulgate, and before that the Septuagint, which was a literalist translation from the Hebrew, the Torah itself.

What does it say?  Why?

I am disabled; I am Jew-ish; I am Gay.  I know exactly who I am.  Why would somebody espousing "love" spew hatred of my alternative lifestyle, using misquoted phrases of religious zealots, fundamentalists and extremists?

From the Torah, L.17 there is a description of someone claiming the 'lord' spoke to 'moses' instructing him to say to 'aaron' that throughout the ages, forevermore, no man with a defect (eyesight defect, lameness, disability, etc) can be a priest, or worship, or enter a house of worship to make offerings. 

Why would it say that?  Why would it contradict EQUALITY, especially when Kedoshim is about exactly that?  Why?

It doesn't.  Those who are different, who are automatically branded with the MARK of automated-hateful responses by others, due to their disability,  must not be expected to do the same tasks as everyone else.  You can't tell a blind man:  "If you can't read it, what good are you?" and then kill him for it.  You can't punish the visually impaired for not seeing the hand you 'extend' -- either for a handshake or hand-slap.  You can't cast-away the ill, just because they are ill, or aged, or lame, or filled with a 'flavor' of 'diversity' of which you are unfamiliar.

 -- or a language issue;
 -- or difference of faith;
 -- or committment to love one of same-sex instead of opposite-sex.

 -- because, in this society, unless the same as all the others, one's diversity is an added burden to bear, a built-in "tithe"; or "tax"; a hardship misunderstood and taken foregranted by those who know nothing of it, because they've never walked in the shoes of those carrying such burdens.

The common perceptions of Leviticus is about condemntations, portraying an air of supremacy; racism; special-treatment; and those with little or no self-esteem are taught to condemn others in the pathetic attempt at making themselves-out as 'superior.'  But that is false-pride.  Not real pride, and certainly not real Gay Pride.

In the ancient texts, Jews are instructed to prove compassion by proving kindness to strangers, the fatherless, the lame, the blind, the poor, the beggar, all people equals, equal justice for all, not just a select few.

I have proved through my lifestyle, every minute of my life, that I have never cheated on a spouse, or anyone I've ever dated.  Monogomy is the MARRIAGE EQUALITY which we Gays have sacrificed for.  I have proved that monogomy is the cornerstone of Same-Sex Marriage, or Gay Rights itself, by living it, every moment of it, personally, never deviating from that narrow path.

I am now in an akward situation where I have been asked to support 'friends' who are not monogomous, that think it's "old fashioned," and "traditionalist," and that Gay Rights and Gay Marriage is about "alternatives to monogomy."  But all my friends were killed by non-monogomous people with attitudes like that before I was 30 years old.  We real Gays asked for MARRIAGE EQUALITY, not "special treatment" nor "special exceptions" nor a "blanket license" to help married men lie and cheat and then cover it up with more lieing and cheating.

I will not support, nor participate, nor attend any non-monogomous marriage ceremony, ever, because non-monogomy is derogatory to the institution of marriage itself, regardless of gender or sexual-orientation of the married partners; therefore, against Gay Rights, Against EQUALITY itself, not just Marriage Equality, but Equality itself.

Non-monogomous people are a danger unto themselves and others.  This, those non-monogomous attitudes, is the 'great fear" which stirs up hatred against all Gay people (and Lesbians).  I will not support it.  I will not support your non-mongomous relationship.  It's fake.  It proves you know not what love truly is.  If you did, you'd never bed-hop, you'd never sleep-around, because doing so proves zero-respect for the life of your so-called "future one-and-only love," which you place at risk, just for a moment of selfish 'fun' or a 'good time.'

"Traditionalist!" -- "You must be confused! Angry!  Unintelligent!" -- I've heard it from many:

JUDGEMENT
ACCUSATION
LABEL

 -- in that order; it's the mindset of bullies.  Firstly, they make a judgement, "You seem irritated," which is an accussation and a label they've just accosted your spirit with.  "No, I'm not."  "Yes you are."  "No I'm not."  "Yes you are."  "No I'm not!" -- it's childish -- there is only one outcome to the bully-mindset antagonism.  It's scurrilous, and an extension of the childish "playing doctor" game against not your body but your mind.  That's why it's antagonism.  After you defend yourself, then they say, "You are so obstinate; hostile; disagreeable; argumentative; irritable, just like I said, told ya' so!"  It's all sensationalistic from the get-go; bullying is always that way, antagonism.  Regardless of response, their only goal is to judge, accuse and label;  the bully is never satisfied until they antagonize a response out of you.

Burdens of Priesthood

 -- Like the burdens we Gays know from the bullying and inequities of the society where we are born into; Aaron was told to recognize the built-in, or 'born-with' burdens of those with disabilities and instructed not to expect the disabled to make offerings, which are economic burdens, because the disabled would then be double-burdened, and offerings are to be out of love, not resentment, not a figurative "lash" for breathing.  The offerings were the social-net to assist the poor, the needy, the disabled, seniors, wounded war vets.  Political Climiate Change has modifed translations into a supremacist rant in many versions of 'scripture.'  There are still some, not many, but some Orthodox Jewery versions, followed by a few, who claim the supremacist-version is the only 'truth' and all that think different should be punished, if not exterminated; most Jews do not think that.  I certainly do not.   But I know there are far more 'christian' versions that read any version of 'scripture' merely to find excuses to make themselves-out as 'superior' to others, to find 'negatives' to hammer against their self-made and merciless 'positive-cross-signs' using the points of their hypocritical forked-tongues as nails.  All should strive not to be 'positive' or engage in 'positive-thinking' for that reason; because it stems from cult-mentality of supremacy.

Give what one may give; be generous; strive to be kind, always.

Kind regards, always,

Traditionalists vs me

Traditionalists vs me, Clayton Leon Winton

Recently, while discussing Gay Rights, Same-sex Marriage, AIDS and a plethora of LGBT issues, where I emphasized how many I've known since childhood who have succumbed to HIV related illnesses, or drunkenness, or drug addiction, or incarcerated, or felonized and therefore have no voting rights, or engaged in black-listings of one another,  and while I spent a few moments emphasizing that sex with strangers, internet hook-ups, casual-sex, bed-hopping, etc., is a death sentence for those claiming to be 'gay' while participating in it or promoting it are not promoting the values of real Gay Rights ... during that conversation, I was judged, then labeled:  "Traditionalist!"

How is it possible?  Me.  The person that has advocated for Same-sex Marriage my entire adult life, who's first same-sex husband died of AIDS (yet I do not have HIV); same-sex married two others; spent 14-yrs total with another same-sex spouse, who moved here to Spokane, WA from Los Angeles, CA with me 20yrs ago?  Me, first person to address the City Council on behalf of we Gays and our unique issues, testifying before the Human Rights Commission to secure funding for HIV/AIDS outreach and awareness, and hated for my success at it?  Me, the person that never cowered behind a woman, never lived a double-life, never "came-out" of a closet-of-deception because I was never involved in any deception?  How is it possible a self-described 'gay' would label me, a Real Gay, of all people, a "traditionalist?'

We of the greater GLBTQ community, GayLandIs (worldwide Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Tranny, Queers, etc peoples), have a bigger responsibility, an obligation, to the remainder of the world and the people in it, to protect them from harm, by modifying behaviors that are known to contribute to the spread of HIV, and it is we, Gays (not Lesbians), who are still the fastest-growing demographic of new infections.

The Str8-world that opposses us, think we are "evil" or "possessed" or "genetically insane" for not honoring monogomy in our (and our sex-partners') relationships.  It's a DOMA-clese sword hanging over the heads of both Gays AND Lesbians AND Bi's AND Trannies and all other version of 'queer' as more and more countries pass laws making "homosexual conduct" punishable by DEATH.

 -- and a promise that future health-insurance plans will eventually seek and find a form of Legislated "exemptions" from those engaged in such practices.  The 'thinking' is akin to:  if you are a drunk, should my transportation expenses increase, a "breath-analysis" lock-out devices installed on MY CAR at MY EXPENSE for YOUR PROBLEM?  And that truly is how these people think of it.

Further, the promotion of these nonsensical, unhealthy, expensive, killer behaviors that devalue, therefore dencigrates monogomous relationships, same-sex or otherwise, is why so many states have modified their State Constitutions defining marriage as between "one man and one woman." (If you think the recent SCOTUS decisions about either DOMA or CA Prop8 did anything at all to stop that, you are grossly misinformed).

Walk the walk, talk the talk, or you have no right to the word 'gay' -- you are in your own seperate 'class' of your own making.  Gay Rights is Equality, especially in work, housing, health and benefits;  it is NOT and has NEVER been the endorsement of lieing, cheating, sneaking-around in bed-hopping.

Kind Regards, always,
Clayton Winton

Israel, Palestine, Gays, Obama

President Obama's speech to Israeli University students was interesting.  As with most of what he says, it was filled with platitudes and 'reasonable-sounding' soundbites, "fluff," professionally 'crafted' to give the listener the "warm fuzzies."

Native Americans, where is your "promised land?"  Should I give up my land, that I paid blood, sweat and tears for, my home, because a President of mine says that it "rightfully belongs to someone else?"

Natives have no "nations," although duped into "just believing," endless "peace treaties," all violated, and after many billions and billions of dollars, spent mostly by college grads to pay for their own careers, few Natives are active, productive participants in society.  Natives have no "defenses," and in the past, when humanitarian aide was received, the bullies hoarded it, sold it for pennies-on-the-dollar, to buy a few more premium-priced bullets, to kill more from the "Great White Satan."

If it were any different, the taxpayer-secured "job security" of all those "whitey" college grads would be jeopardized.  And the very few, a tiny percentage, of Native Americans that actually found a way to navigate the great maze, an obstacle coarse of hurdles, obstacles, discriminatory financial barriers and stone walls, that received college education, especially Judicial Doctorates, would not be used as the "whitey badge-of-honor" to endlessly claim "the system is working" as an excuse to pay themselves more, raising taxes endlessly, mind you.

I will not give up my home for descendents of aggressors to build theirs.  I built it.  Not they.  I paid for it.  Not them.  I worked for it.  They did not.  I earned it.  Nobody else.  Just me.

But I am Gay.  I was born this way.  I am Jew-ish.  A descendent of displaced Jews.  It's in my blood, mixed with so much more, including Native American.  But that is not what a "jew" is.  Jews come in all sizes, shapes and colors.  Black and white and everything in-between.  Yes, I have a few drops of Hebrew blood in my ancestory, and my faith is Reform Judaism oriented, and I know that's why I "think this way," the diversity of my thoughts alone excuse enough to be hated.  I "see" things differently, it's in my DNA.  I was born this way.

The genetic traits that made me Gay, isn't a story of "conversion" or "going along" with a 'movement.'  50% of Jews/Jew-ish in the Americas do not go to a Synagogue.  Like 'christians,' most don't go to church at all.  They celebrate 'christmas,' and think it's about the birth of some "more-than-equal" super-being from some abstract time in the past, not the birth of all sons and daughters (including themselves) throughout eternity, a son or daughter that could, at any given moment, be hated, beaten, oppressed, enslaved, persecuted, prosecuted, killed, merely for their existence, their breathing, their faith; hatefully labled "negative" by the "positive-thinkers," hammered as "negative" against merciless "positive-cross-signs" by those "positive-thinkers" using their hypocritical forked-tongues as nails.  The non-literalist, non-fundamentalist interpretation of the evils of "crucifixtion," the ancient 'christ-concept' itself forgotten, substituted with cartoon-imagry, flashing lights, and pretty wrapped 'presents,' only to ridicule and scorn one another for not "gettin' sumpin'" or not "giving" or "celebrating properly."

Same with North Korea, Iran, Pakistan and many other locations:  they had nothing;  the people there lived in tents and caves, huts, had no sanitation, no running water, no hot showers, no toilets, no roads, no transportation, no infrustructure and no economy to support building it.  Our people, of all religions, all colors, all educational backgrounds, went there to free them, to liberate them from such squalor, such burdens, such tyrannies of mind and body.  We built corporations to exploit resources to build those economies, those infrustructures.  Sure, some individuals had merely selfish motives, fame and fortune, but the overall achievements were about uplifting all of humanity, and that always has been the goal.

With every humanitarian aide and effort, it's hoarded by bullies, sold for pennies-on-the-dollar, merely to pay premium-price for a few more 'bullets' to kill anybody different, including that 'son and daughter,' be it yours, your neighbors, or your neighboring country's people.  They build monuments to themselves, palaces, write their names on it, call themselves "liberators," and yet the people still have no toilets, no running water, no hot showers, no transporation, no education, no healthcare, just excuses, the hostilies a promise to keep the same bullies in power generation to generation.

 -- I know all about bullies.  They've been beating me on playgrounds in kindergarten, and after relocating again since sixth grade;  punching me in the balls in boys' locker rooms; following me home from school throwing sticks and stones at me; dropping their pants, holding me down, sitting on my face; they've beat my same-sex husband and me, killed my friends, vandalized, stolen, plagairized, killed my pets, poisoned my food and drink, lit me on fire, censored, rumomongered, fired me for being Gay, fired me for being Gay Married, denied me access, run me off the road, all they are about is superiority, hate.

Israel welcomes all people.  Anybody may participate freely.  Yes, it gets complicated, the funding for education, the profiteers from education, merely to "buy a career" to eventually freely life one's lifestyle, be it Israel of the United States or China or anywhere else.  But a Palestinian 'state' carved-out of my land, is no more a 'solution' than a "native state" carved out of my land.

I shall not work, pay taxes, only for those dollars to educate eventual murderers.  

There are many types of Jews.  Judaism is a faith, a religion, comprised of all different races of peoples.  If it's about a specific race, it's racism; a double-standard at that, because those claiming it, are hypocritically denying the fact that if their 'logic test' were applied to all religions, then they are not 'christian' unless they can prove to be direct-descendents of the religious-character 'jesus.'  Who can do that?  NONE.

So, I never want to hear another word about it.

As for 'conversion therapy", it's not "jewish."  Palestinians have been led, by bullies, to a state-of-mind, that is all about "conversion therapy" :  convert to 'islamic think' or be hammered as a "negative" against merciless "positive-cross-signs."

My Jewish ancestors were displaced from France, what is referred to as "Ashkenazic Jewery."  The Jews that were raised in Spain and Portugal were under Moslem rule, displaced to South America.  After being run-off, walled-in, each group learned new languages, their Jewish customs evolving into distinct ethnic traits.  There are Ethopian Jews, they are black, never displaced from European countries at all.  How did they get there?  We don't know.  The theories are nearly endless, a way of telling ourselves "reasonable-sounding" stories.  But they are Jews.

I did not grow-up in a Jewish community, nor a Jewish household.  I studied theologies all my life to find the roots of my faith.  I always knew, but finding the words took decades.  And when surrounded by other people who think differently, the slightest questioning, the slightest objection, no matter how carefully worded, is met with ridicule and scorn and the eventual hateful label, hammered as a "negative" against merciless "positive-cross-signs."

Gay Rights is about diversity, acceptance of it, inclusiveness of it.  I've never had a sexual-relationship with a woman.  Ever.  I never hid in a closet.  I never "came out" of anything, because I never cowered behind a woman while pretending to be someone I was not, never lived a double-life, never learned the discipline of spontaneous lieing, never cheated, never was any of the stereotype.  I'm just normal Gay.  There is no "surpressed woman begging to be expressed" within me.  I am a man, proud of it.  I have real Gay Pride.

I say I am "Jew-ish" -- because I do not attend the Synogogue, I do not celebrate the holidays (most, or in the traditional manner), I do not speak Hebrew (which was a dead language and only revived primarily within my own lifetime anyway), and I am no literalist, so even my faith is discounted by both  Conservative and Jewish Orthodoxy.  But Reform Judaism is actually ancient, and like the spoken language of Hebrew, the end may have been the beginning.

Suggesting that a two-state 'solution' carved from our homes, be it your home or my home, your land or my land, is promoting anti-semitism.  I cannot support the President on it.

Kind Regards,
Clayton Leon Winton
