Obama snubs the only black survivor of the Nazi concentration camp

Gert Schramm was a man the world almost forgot.
He was the only black inmate, and survivor, of the Nazi concentration camp. He also happened to be, of late, a great fan of Barack Obama. He was snubbed, however, when he tried to meet with Mr. Obama when the latter recently toured Buchenwald.
Debbie Schlussel has the story on this most interesting man. Indeed, it is a terrific story, of how a black teenager was protectively surrounded by Jewish inmates.
The entire fascinating post can be read here.

- Obama Administration's Atrocious Decision November 13, 2009Horrible decision, absolutely horrible. It is devastating for so many of us to hear that the Obama Administration decided that the 9/11 terrorist mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be given a criminal trial in New York. This is an atrocious decision. Mohammed and his terrorist co-conspirators are responsible for the deaths of more than 3,000 Americans. […]
- Keep Your Powder Dry November 13, 2009As you probably have heard, the AP snagged a copy of my memoir, Going Rogue, before its Tuesday release. And as is expected, the AP and a number of subsequent media outlets are erroneously reporting the contents of the book. Keep your powder dry, read the book, and enjoy it! Lots of great stories about my family, Alaska, and the incredible honor it was to ru […]
- Thank you, Washington, for Requesting a Demonstrably Good Idea November 13, 2009I commend the president for acknowledging today that “there are limits to what government can and should do” to ease our 10.2% unemployment rate – the highest it’s been since 1983. I also applaud his call for suggestions and expression of openness to considering “any demonstrably good idea.” Taking him at his word, I’d like to suggest this one: let’s learn f […]
- Pelosi "Health Plan" Should Be DOA November 12, 2009We need to be vigilant in investigating the ramifications of the Pelosi Health Care Bill. Some provisions sound so outrageous as to be considered impossible to fathom, but they’re right there in the bill in black and white. For instance, page 297 of the bill explains the punishment for not purchasing government mandated health insurance. If you don’t buy wha […]
- Oprah on November 16th November 12, 2009Willow, Piper, and I are in Chicago and just wanted to let you know that I had a great conversation with Oprah today. We taped the show for Monday, November 16th, and enjoyed it so much that we went way over on time. The rest will air on Oprah.com. Oprah was very hospitable and gracious, and her audience was full of warm, energized and (no doubt) curious vie […]
- Coin Controversy? November 12, 2009It is stunning to read and hear about this “coin controversy.” At a recent speech in Milwaukee I discussed the troubling fact that we too often move God to the side in our public life, and gave as an example the shift of the words “In God We Trust” to the edge of the dollar coin. My comments were not about this President or this Congress – this change predat […]
- In Honor of Those Who Sacrificed for Our Freedom November 11, 2009In most of our cities and towns, you’ll see memorials to brave Americans – some in uniforms of wars from long ago – who defended freedom. If you look down at their inscriptions, you’ll see that they were dedicated by the mothers, fathers, wives and orphans of the veterans who gave all for their country. In distant lands across the globe, you’ll find silent f […]
- "Going Rogue" Book Tour Dates Through Thanksgiving November 9, 2009Here are some details of the upcoming book tour. I’m starting in Michigan, and you’ll understand why when you read the book. Last year, I made a promise to the good people of Michigan that I would be back, and now I’m keeping that promise. (Michigan is near and dear to my family’s heart! Our eldest son, Track, lived with a great host family there during his […]
- Commemorating a Victory for Freedom November 9, 2009Twenty years ago, the ultimate symbol of the division between freedom and tyranny was torn down. The Berlin Wall was constructed for one purpose: to prevent the escape of East Germans to the freedom of the West. The Wall’s cold, gray façade was a stark reminder of the economic and political way of life across the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence in Eastern […]
- The Pelosi Bill Was Rammed Through on Saturday, But Sunday’s Coming November 8, 2009We’ve got to hold on to hope, and we’ve got to fight hard because Congressional action tonight just put America on a path toward an unrecognizable country. The same government leaders that got us into the mortgage business and the car business are now getting us into the health care business. Despite Americans’ decisive message last Tuesday that they reject […]

It goes beyond most if not all other government-imposed taxes in that it will charge more during so-called peak times or if a vehicle is considered a heavier polluter. The abolition of two other taxes is appare […]Tom Blumer

Despite the very different times we lieve in today compa […]Tim Graham
- Bozell Column: Group Sex on 'Gossip Girl' November 14, 2009It’s a sad state of affairs. There is absolutely no barrier of sexual behavior that TV network executives aren’t willing to cross in a desperate gambit for ratings. There also seems be to no sleazy line that a squeaky-clean teenage TV star or pop star won’t cross to "break out" into grown-up stardom. Both of these maxims were proven again by the CW […]Brent Bozell
- Newsweek's 'Decade In Seven Minutes' Video Sums Up All The Recent Media Tilt November 14, 2009Preparing for the year’s end, Newsweek’s web site is now carrying a video of "The Decade In Seven Minutes."

(MRC's Mike Sargent did the transcript.) 1. Elian Gonzalez (no gun […]Tim Graham

DAVID LETTERMAN’S HATE, etc. !
Speaking of anti-Semitism, it’s Jerry Falwell and other fundy leaders who’ve gleefully predicted that in the future EVERY nation will be against Israel (an international first?) and that TWO-THIRDS of all Jews will be killed, right?
Wrong! It’s the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah who predicted all this in the 13th and 14th chapters of his book! The last prophet, Malachi, explains the reason for this future Holocaust that’ll outdo even Hitler’s by stating that “Judah hath dealt treacherously” and “the Lord will cut off the man that doeth this” and asks “Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?”
Haven’t evangelicals generally been the best friends of Israel and Jewish persons? Then please explain the recent filthy, hate-filled, back-stabbing tirades by David Letterman (and Sandra Bernhard) against a leading evangelical named Sarah Palin, and explain why most Jewish leaders have seemingly condoned Palin’s continuing “crucifixion”!
While David and Sandra are tragically turning comedy into tragedy, they are also helping to speed up and fulfill the Final Holocaust a la Zechariah and Malachi, thus helping to make the Bible even more believable!

I believe that Israel will not be destroyed, nor will Jews go away. There is an inherent and iridescent Creative Energy within the Judaic Faith that outlasts all attempts to hurt its nation, and its people. I am not Jewish, but I am a Zionist. The Faith of a people triumphs above all, Israel will be for ever.
