By the way, I'm surprised that the "gringo" line didn't get more flap on The O'Reilly Factor. I myself am happy that Jared Loughner was White (only because State Senator Russel Pearce and Governor Jan Brewer (R-AZ) both have egg on their WASP-Supremacist faces); but I am of course not happy that Rep. Giffords was shot (though if I were her, I'd take being persecuted by Jared Loughner as an honor), and I'm not happy that Daisy Hernandez referred to Whites as gringos.
Newsflash for Señorita Hernandez, by the way: los hispanos originales- the Spaniards and Portuguese- were considered "blanco". Latina America became latina only because of los iberianos. So, blanketing every White as a "gringo" is beschmirching muchas hispanas, none of whom (as far as we know) are at fault for what an Irish- or German-American Supremacist did (I am not sure of the origins of "Loughner" at this time, but I can tell you that you won't blanket in this española y judia in with that Anti-Hispanic, Anti-Semitic Loughner.).
Anyway, the hackneyed "Jews don't believe in Jesus" line is getting older than it already is. Even Jewish Globe recognizes that:
Although Jewish Globe may not get that "Jewish Christian" and "Messianic Jewish" are synonmous, "Christian Jew" is not the best term to use (long story short, "Christian Jew" is to a Jewish Christian like "Catholic Pole" to a Polish Catholic), and Messianic Jews do not have to denominationally Messianic (and I myself am a Patrilineal Jew who is a PCA Presbyterian and was baptized Roman Catholic and raised Episcopalian); Jewish Globe at least recognizes the crux of the matter:When the phrases Jewish Christians, Hebrew Christians and Christian Jews are used in a modern sense, they refer to people who have a Jewish heritage, culture or ancestry. However, such people follow Christian tenets and philosophy, rather than Judaism. The terms Jewish Christians and Christian Jews are also applied to those who have formally converted to the Christian faith, and to those who do not practice the Hebrew faith, due to the circumstances of their upbringing, for example. The appellation Christian Jews can be used for those who are Jewish, but have been absorbed into the Christian majority. Although Christian Jews and Messianic Jews both represent a blend of Judaism and Christianity, Christian Jews are quite different from Messianic Jews, who are definitely Jewish, and only differ from other Jews in that they believe that Jesus was the true Messiah.
At least some Jews believe in Jesus; Jesus Believed In Himself, and Christianity is at least a sect of Judaism (if not considered as Fulfilled, Complete, or True Judaism).
