I would say that the cultural influence of Judaism has at all times in Europe's history remained marginal to the Christian and even pre-christian native beliefs of those places, only it is easier to parse and categorize the beliefs of another so the Jews by virtue of their self-imposed alienation are easily scapegoated since it is easier to see what their influence is than it is to sort out what the pervasive culture really "is" like being a fish in water and not knowing what "wetness" consists of; i think it is right to damn the jews for their culture but not to the exclusion of the native european culture which is just as blameworthy.

What you say about homosexual identity is absolutely correct insofar as it has historically been defined by institutions with a largely punitive outlook (even under the guise of "therapy") but as economic stability increases, the autonomous expression as homosexuals as to what their exclusive experiences "mean" can be looked at collectively as a self-determined "identity" which does not fall under your Foucauldian criticism as neatly.

Today we are seeing self-expression with all its attendant messiness. We can no longer rely on the comforts of postmodernist critical theory to navigate through the morass of otherness and intersection. Many people are extremely angst-ridden in the absence of a supertheory and this, in my opinion, is arousing a cultural death drive on all sides: towards tyranny, both classic and technocratic, towards universal animosity towards even self annihilation qua collectivization.

All i know to do is lift, run and meditate. Fear really is the mind killer.

Phoenix Rising: Firebase Freedom by William Johnstone. He has a whole series of books like this, I think

>"Phoenix Rising: Firebase Freedom" by William W. Johnstone & J. A. Johnstone is an interesting book. It is fiction but in today’s political climate it seems it could be very real. The President of the United States, Mehdi Ohmshidi, won the election with the promise of “fundamentally transforming America.” His changes are not as expected. President Ohmshidi announces that he has always been Muslin and will be turning America into an Islamic nation. Under presidential orders all Americans must now declare their beliefs and allegiance to Allah. Jake Lantz, a war veteran, along with a group of American patriots, form an alliance known as the Phoenix Group. They set up camp and do whatever it takes to restore the United States of America to its original condition. It involves going against all of the New Order’s rules. They are more than willing to do whatever it takes even when it includes stealing, murdering, lying and cheating to win.

>"Phoenix Rising" got my attention from the very first word. This book is the political answer to the 'Left Behind Series'. It is very real and scary, because this can really happen today or tomorrow or next week or next month. Johnstone gives us a very real peek into a future that no longer allows the freedoms we have fought for and defended since America was founded. "Phoenix Rising" is, however, a fictional story with strong characters and an intriguing plot. It is a definite page turner that will keep you up late into the night. Johnstone captures your imagination and keeps you wanting more. I am eagerly looking forward to the next book in this series. "Phoenix Rising: Firebase Freedom" is a five star winner.
