In Colonial era Pennsylvania (1783) the General Assembly requested that every member take an oath stating: "I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament."
A simple enough request of those seeking public office in a Commonwealth with a mostly Christian population. However immediately, minority Jews initiated their anti-Christian agitation; calling the oath a religious test which denied them the rights of freemen....Jew spokesmen Haym Solomon and Gershom M. Seixas were so insulted they issued the following threat because:
"If Jews in Europe or elsewhere should incline to transport themselves to America, and would, for reasons of some certain advantage of the soil, climate, or trade of Pennsylvania, rather become inhabitants thereof, than of any other state, yet the disability of Jews to take seat among the representatives of the people, as worded by the said religious test, might determine their free choice to go to New York, or any other of the United States of America, where there is no such like restraint laid upon the nation and religion of the Jews...In Pennsylvania the Commonwealth would lose valuable immigrants...It would be wisdom not to alienate an important segment of the economic life of the Commonwealth...The Jews have considerable property in lands and tenements, but particularly in the way of trade."
Well needless to say, the Jews won and the oath was discarded. But in my opinion, this historic document stands forever as another indictment of a well bankrolled Jew minority, using their economic leverage to burrow into government and public influence. End result, their will is imposed upon an unsuspecting Christian majority.
They laid the foundation so well, that 21st century Pennsylvania now has a minority Jew governor (Ed Rendell) and a minority Jew senator (Arlen Specter)...And so it goes in the kingdom of the Jews!
