Penthouse Pet of the Year

Chloe Jones has been be anounced as Pet of the year 2000.

Sasha Gabor in the Slammer

From : "Sasha was taken into custody last week to serve out time to honor a previous DUI ruling. "He had not served a full sentence," a friend, who did not wish to be identified, said. According to Gabor's confidante, Sasha had conferred with an attorney who would have swung a home-detention as an alternate to his sentence, but Sasha couldn't come up with the full amount to pay him to keep up the process of trying to get a continuance. Sasha, according to his friend, could be in Men's Central Jail for at least six months. In the mean time, the friend said Sasha has been assigned a public defender at the Van Nuys courthouse. "But they don't have the experience," the friend said."

Luke received this email: "Hi Luke, my name is Brett Dobin, and I have a radio show in New York. I am a friend of Sasha Gabor's. I am saddened by the news that he has been imprisoned. I have always known Sasha as a kind, respectful, and loyal person. it saddens me even deeper to find out that he cannot afford his legal fees. This is a person that has given over 15 years to this industry. He has always been a steady performer and industry fixture. I was just thinking that why doesn't the Free Speech Coalition and P. A. W. step in and offer Sasha some assistance. I mean isn't that what these two organizations were formed to do, that is help industry performers when they are in need. Don't all performers have to pay dues to these organizations? This is something that should definitely not go unnoticed. Sasha is a lovely human being and deserves the help of the industry. Please share your thoughts with me on this matter, Thanks and Take care, Brett Dobin, WBCR 590AM."

Larry Flynt vs The People

From Luke F-rd Wire Services, Ltd:

Is paraplegic porner Larry Flynt--who recently copped an obscenity plea in Ohio--drowning in red ink? He's dropping millions of dollars gambling in Las Vegas and just decided to close down three of his magazines, (Jail Babes, Buttman and Black Sugar), and firing the staff.

Reported The Newspaper of Record, dated 4-7-97: “...as the cost of renting a raunchy video can be cheaper than the $5.99 cover price of Hustler and as sexually explicit cable television and web sites vie for his target audience...Mr. Flynt’s operation seems to be falling behind in the swiftly evolving X-rated market.”

Between 1995 and 1997, Larry Flynt Publications, Inc--a wholly owned subsidiary of its founder--"sold or closed a handful of magazines”, including Super Cycle, Maternity Fashion, and the cybersexually oriented Rage. “...nor is there a clear explanation”, reflects the Times report, “for the sale late last year [1996] of one of Mr. Flynt’s chief assets, the Flynt Distribution Company, which handled the newsstand placement not only for Flynt publications but also for others...” One industry analyst described Flynt’s sale of this asset “as a likely sign of financial trouble.”

Moreover, the embattled and sexually dysfunctional Flynt-- whose public image, like his genitalia, must be artificially inflated--forks over millions each year to P.R. operatives charged with the increasingly difficult task of keeping the diaper-wearing Flynt’s decreasingly marketable name in the public eye. Gone is the edenic, free-speech milieu depicted on film by Milos Forman. LFP's workplace today is less a mean, lean corporate contender than a vindictively bean-counting smutworks in which rank-and-file editorial workers are subject to draconian rules and sudden purges.

“Larry instituted a dress code,” recalled former LFP editor Lisa Jenio in New Times. “It had no jeans, sneakers, tee shirts, combat boots or open-toed sandals, and men had to wear jackets and ties. This was right around the time that IBM and other huge companies started to relax their dress codes... You weren’t allowed to hang up anything personal on the walls of your office [nor] hang up bulletin boards [and] we had to move our desks so no electrical cords were showing. And when we moved into this building in Beverly Hills, he bought the building and the parking garage, but we weren’t allowed to park there. We had to pay $70 a month.”

All this and less has underwritten the price of Larry Flynt’s freedom--which lately has taken the form of a reckless leap into XXX’s phantom commerce of high-volume, low-margin sales to anonymous masturbators in an ever-more-entropic marketplace. Unlike more editorially driven product, hardcore renders moot such issues as copyright though open-ended model releases that grease its self-cannibalizing, free-market trajectory into endless recylcling, repackaging, and remerchandising. The resultant byproduct works its way through the economy like a parasistic Guinea worm through an unlucky third-world intestinal tract--paying out zero royalities, minimal taxes, substandard salaries and mob kickbacks in a diarrheic flow of capital enriching only Larry Flynt’s coprophagous appetite for luxury and self-aggrandizement.

As Karl Marx observed in an exclusive l-keford.com seance, “Capitalist production begets, with the inexorability of a law of nature, its own negation.”

Larry Flynt Publishing Inc. 8484 Wilshire Blvd., Ste. 900 Beverly Hills, CA 90211 US PHONE: 213-651-5400 FAX: 213-651-3525 WEB SITE: http://www.hustler.com CEO: Jim Kohls CFO: Thomas Candy HR: Lynn Heller FISCAL YEAR-END: December 1998 SALES ($ mil): $135.0 1-YEAR SALES GROWTH: 35.% EMPLOYEES: 300 COMPANY TYPE: Private company

COMPANY DESCRIPTION [according to Hoover Company Capsules]: The Founding Fathers probably never imagined anything like Larry Flynt Publishing (LFP) when they wrote the First Amendment. But without it, the company that created Hustler magazine would never have survived. LFP began in 1976 when Larry Flynt turned the raunchy Hustler into a major US skin magazine. Today the company publishes both "gentlemen's" and mainstream magazines, about 30 titles in all, including Chic Magazine, Hustler Erotic Video Guide, Jailbabes and Skin & Ink. In 1999 Flynt escaped a possible 24 year prison term relating to a 1998 arrest for pandering obscenity at his Hustler Books, Magazines, and Gifts store in Cincinnati. He paid a $10,000 fine and agreed not to sell adult videos at the store.

In his June 14 column for The National Review, William F Buckley wrote about the White House Correspondents annual dinner:

It is doubtful that ten guests that night had bought current copies of his magazine (Hustler). This is a magazine bought by pubescent boys with untempered curiosity about sexual perversions, and by adults with insatiable curiosity about sexual perversions, "adults" who would read monthlies serializing the Marquis de Sade, if they were more literate. Larry Flynt's most recent enterprise is a cinematic offering called Jail Babes. It is a tape (the first of a series) that will feature every month a session with female ex-cons describing their crimes and life behind bars before engaging in steamy hard-core sex.

Now the survival of sadistic sex doesn't surprise­it is a social pathology. But the question was asked by more than one guest the other night, "What does John Kennedy intend, by inviting Larry Flynt as his guest?"

If there is another answer to that question than: To shock everybody and draw attention to himself­come up with it, and send a copy to Professor Arthur Schlesinger, to file for his next exonerative bulletin on the Kennedy family. One guest, endeavoring to answer the question Why?, recalled the extraordinary issue of George magazine (founded and edited by JFK Jr.) which last year drew attention by exhibiting a picture of Kennedy apparently nude, "artfully seated [showing] only limbs, chest, and face as he ponders a dangling apple," in the words of the AP. What made him do that? Has he got a problem?

Moreover, in the same issue of his magazine Mr. Kennedy was delivering a Pecksniffian lecture to assorted cousins for licentious behavior. Cousin Michael had been exposed as having seduced his baby-sitter, and of course Cousin William had stood trial, accused of raping a guest at the family compound on Good Friday. JFK Jr. wrote in his magazine that these Kennedys were "poster boys for bad behavior." The AP story went on to list other Kennedys who gave steady way to the call of the flesh, but not any other Kennedy who would seek the public company of the nation's primary pervert.

At Saturday night' s dinner Larry Flynt did not have to draw attention to himself by showing a picture of a woman in bonds shrinking before an assailant brandishing an egg beater­he could instead lean across and tell this poster boy a joke.

Charlese L'Amour - Terri Star Update

Eric writes: So, just out of curiousity, why don't you have anything on Charlese L'amour and Rick Masters impending divorce? Or that at their wedding reception, Teri Starr was discovered by Charlese's mother to be giving some man she met there a blowjob in Charlese's sister's room? It's really strange that Teri Starr and Charlese seem to be gettinng on so swimmingly (in regards o the recent Charlie Sheen fiasco) when considering that at the end of the reception, Charlese said of the extremely drugged-up Teri, "Why did she have to come? I knew if she were here she would ruin everything!"

Metro Global Media Stock Plunges

Eversince Luke went on the offensive against the mob-infested Metro Global Media operation, its stock (MGMA) has plunged from over $4 a share in July, to less than $2 a share today.

By contrast, New Frontier Media (NOOF), has climbed in value since the February coverage of its suits and counter suits.

Kendra Jade Returns to LA

Porn star Kendra Jade returned to Los Angeles Wednesday morning after a three week stint at Dennis Hof's Nevada brothel, the Bunny Ranch.

A friend of Kendra's drove across country Philadelphia, picked her up at the Ranch, and then drove to LA.

Kendra: "Just to be with me. I feel loved."

Luke: "Groovy baby. Did you feel loved at the Ranch?"

Kendra: "It was good to be there. It was exactly what I needed."

Luke: "They need men now... Do you think I should volunteer?"

Kendra: "No. But I hear that you might be in a Kid Vegas movie?"

Luke: "I thought I'd follow in your footsteps. What happened to your confrontation with Heaven Leigh?"

Kendra: "When I got down there, everything was great. She knew nothing about what was going on... She was sweet as pie to me..."

Luke: "Typical porn controversy."

Kendra: "Most of the porn stars I met at the Ranch are completely different from most of the girls in the business in LA. Most of the girls at the Ranch are not even in the business anymore, like Samantha Strong, Annabel Dayne, incredibly intelligent business-minded women..."

Luke: "How many men did you do?"

Kendra: "I don't know."

Luke: "You can tell Luke."

Kendra: "I was charging higher rates..."

Luke: "How much?"

Kendra: "I can't say... I didn't work that much while I was there... It was wonderful. The only guys I did business with were serious fans who were willing to pay the money... My typical day would go like this: I'd wake up, go tan, go work out... Have the cook cook me breakfast... Then horseback riding... Then I'd work a shift... On an average shift, only a couple of guys would come... I'm going back for Dennis' birthday party September 30th."

Luke: "Did you make a bundle of money?"

Kendra: "I'm going to buy a new car and pay my doctor some money so he can give me more surgery. I'm going to have my nose and boobs redone."

Luke: "Oh baby, they're fine as they are."

Kendra: "My doctor is totally a perfectionist and he doesn't like how my nose came out... There's a little bump on it."

Luke: "Did you do any black guys at the Bunny Ranch?"

Kendra: "Nope. The majority of men that come in there are young, about 30 year old Caucasian businessmen who don't have time for a relationship... Everybody was so nice there. It was like going away to a resort. Candy Hill was there. She's one of the sweetest girls I've ever met."

Luke: "How's Heather Jade, your younger sister?"

Kendra: "She's not my sister. I hate this. She went to school with me. That's all. We're not related. She's trying to get into porno.

"The Howard Stern TV crew spent all Friday with me... They didn't interview any of the other girls. People were saying, she [Kendra] thinks they're coming down just for her, blah, blah... Well, watch the show when it airs."

Luke: "You are the Queen of all Media."

Kendra: "I'd like to think I am. I don't have an ego, do I? I don't think I'm better than everybody else?"

Luke: "Your ego is not outsized."

Kendra: "I get really mad when people say bad things about me. When they don't even know me. If they get to know me and then say bad things about me, that's cool. I got your little email, did you see what Gene put on his site? Well, it's on your site too, jerkoff."

From : Steve Irons writes: "...Hell, if anyone has HIV its most likely him, since he's f---ing Kendra Jade. And she's had more pipe laid in her then the New York sewer system."

Gene sez: "Now, now, now. That isn't nice. Besides, you're talking about the woman Luke F-rd loves."

Luke: "I don't like it when people talk that way about my sweetie..."

Kendra: "Really creative... Like I can't think of other girls, like Houston or Jasmin St. Claire. Oh well, I'm accepting that nobody likes me. Is that the right attitude to have?"

Luke: "It depends. If they are people who are important to you, or who you respect, than it matters."

Kendra: "I think that way too. What my mom or my friends think, matters... People say bad things about you who don't even know you."

Luke: "Yeah, but they're true."

Kendra: "I'm not saying that what people say about me isn't true. I'm saying they don't know me, so they wouldn't know if it was true."

Luke: "Seriously, strangers can have keen perception. If they don't know you, they don't have to sugar coat things..."

Kendra: "Would you say that what people say about me is true?"

Luke: "No, not necessarily. But you do bring it on yourself, you do create the hatred, by being a porn star. Just like I create the hatred for me. Not everything said about me is true or fair or right, but I create the hate..."

Kendra: "People either love me or hate me. There's no in between.

"I want to go shooting with you. I love going to the range... There is nothing you will love better than standing there and pulling the trigger over and over... It will make you come... If I had a dick, it would get hard while I was shooting."

Luke: "I've lost my sex drive. I keep falling asleep in the middle of sex..."

Kendra: "That's your problem. You're stuck in a rut... Why don't you have a nice little porn girl? That will keep you excited. Jewish girls don't give good head."

Luke: "I've been doing two radio stations a week, mainly about my book."

Kendra: "Have you ever done Colin's Sleazy Friends? Last time I went on I just talked about what a cunt Jasmin is..."

Luke: "Paul Cambria represents Marilyn Manson, a real scumbag. He glorifies a mass murderer."

Kendra: "I love Marilyn Manson. That's my honey. You're doing the same thing as everyone else. You're just judging him on the basis of what you've seen of him. You don't even know him. He could be the greatest guy in the world and you would not know it."

Luke: "I don't care because he glorifies murderers."

Kendra: "So if I changed my name to Kendra Dahmer, does that make me a scumbag?"

Luke: "Yes."

Kendra: "You're warped. You need to go back to therapy."

Brandy Alexandre writes: I just read your interview with Kendra after her appearance at the Bunny Ranch. I have one of these nagging questions I'm hoping you'll ask some day. I was told that the average stint is about 12 days and that Sunset brought home $9,000 (half of the $18,000 total). That's less than $1,000 a day, and generally speaking, if the girls do more than two guys in a day, they're doing it for less than they charge per sex scene for a movie! I don't have actual facts and figures, so I can't say that's absolutely the case, but I'm wondering if these girls really sit down and do the math. Does the Ranch dazzle them with the quote of a huge number and then taken advantage of them, or is it so great that they'll do sex at the ranch, assuming only four tricks a day, for less than $250 each?

Tyce Bune writes: Hey Luke, check out Kendra Jade's anal scene in the upcoming release of the video "Beach Bunnies with Big Browneyes" volume 5. Hits the streets on August 31.

VCA's Michael Ninn

Ultradamno writes on RAME: I don't know if Ninn's camera takes a particular interest in men, however, contrast his approach with the way, say, Larry Clark's (Kids, Another Day In Paradise) camerawork indicates his interest in shirtless, adolescent boys. I think Ninn's fetish is postproduction.

After I first saw Shock I recall wondering about Ninn's sexuality mostly on account of his exploiting gay iconography in his choice of pop culture references (Marilyn Monroe, Madonna) and the faux homoerotic sequence with the woman in drag. But it's all so calculated, cerebral and bloodless I don't know if I see these scenes as any different than the first scene in Latex with the 50's style sitcom kitchen juxtapozed with Sunset in the latex outfit and Dough doing his laughable best to conjure up a Mansonoid 500 yard stare on the portable TV. Be it a fake homosexual kiss that turns out to be hetero or pre sixties stereotypes vs harsh post counterculture reality they're all just symbolic elements to be coldly dropshifted in conflict of each other in the hopes of generating some psychological tension. This bait and switch approach reminds me of Greg Dark movies like Flesh where right after Lisa Ann's facial he cuts to the obese naked woman in the tub covered in jelly. Of course, Ninn doesn't take his prankishness to such extremes but he probably does see introducing gay aesthetics into straight porn as subversive, but I wouldn't extrapolate too much about his private life from it, it just seems too much like a dispassionate game to yield any pertainent personal information.

David Aaron Clark replies on RAME: Very good points about Ninn and his style. You're right -- I am translating what I see as an "ironic gay sensibility" to be some sort of indication of homosexual roots. But Ninn's work is stridently asexual any way you look at it. His appropriation of fetish iconography is so goddamn studied and bloodless, absent of any hint of the obsession that makes the work of people like Eric Stanton or Eric Kroll interesting. At least, though, when Antonio Pasolini was working with him there was some whiff of strong storytelling to prop up the scenes between those detachable "sex" modules. Too bad there's nobody working full-time in fetish porn to bring that sort of level of intensity -- Maria Beatty in NYC does it, but unfortunately she doesn't produce that much work. And God knows I've tried a couple times, but the companies really tend not to "get it" .

Brandy Alexandre Writes

To answer Lawyer Fred, I wasn't ducking, I just missed it. ;) I was referring to when BT actually had the domain directed to her main site through which she sells goods and "services." Plus, she said she intends to direct it there again. I should also point out the (continued) contradictory statements in which BT on one hand says she has the site and on the other says I stole it. She can't decide. She wants to be the victim now because of the California Civil Code. And finally, both Bianca and Steve made false and libelous statements in a chat session about alleged forged faxes I sent to "steal" the domain and BT reiterated the libel here.

I was concerned, to begin with, about how I could defend not having sent faxes if they actually exist based purely on the simple fact that I didn't. Certainly I could say "check my phone bill," but she would obviously turn around and say that I used a calling card, or ran off to Kinko's to do it (InterNIC is based in Maryland). However, as luck would have it, Bianca decided to publicly boast about allegedly having fax header information not just from the 818 area code, but from a phone number that was definitively determined to be in my name. Well, as soon as my phone bill covering this time period gets here, gentlemen, you get to look at it! Thank you Bianca for tripping up your own story. You finally toppled those fence sitters over into my pasture.

Bianca Trump replies: I said stolen.....yes as in past tense. It is once again mine. the site was never directed intentionally at my main site. It was just parked there tell the programmers wrote the script(which I paid 100 bucks for) to direct it to the exact page on my site. Which took one whole day. Big woop.brandy.com was not advertised in any way at that point. Hell it wasn't even on a single search engine. So if you think someone was just typing brandy.com and getting to my main page and surfing from there and then signing up you are twisted.No one gives 2 s---s about you except for me sweetheart.

And as far as the fax goes. I got it directly from Internic....are you calling them liars? Are you saying they are setting you up to cover their own errors? Get real. How else would I get a fax that they recieved from 818-XXXXXXX. That is your # right? Registered to one XXX N hollywood Ca. Why don't you show us your articles of incorporation for "on the rocks productions" which you claim you own....I bet a dollar you can't do that. Or will you just try to deny that too? I also have that info on you falsified application to nameserver which they so graciously gave me. I am sure you will just go one to altering you phone bill Brandy. It is what you do best. kinko provides a copy machine as well as white out.

oh and one more thing....when will this end? Defending myself is getting boring luke? Will you stop printing this garbage when you see the site is at my server?

Luke: My coverage will end soon. This is getting boring.

Wednesday evening, Bianca's website at www.brandyalexandre.com went back online. Bianca writes at 8PM: "The site is back up and in my legal possesion. Those who fight win. Those who cheat don't. I wish we lived in a contry where thieves get their hands cut off."

Fred the Lawyer gives one last comment re BA v. BT, but universally applicable to all senseless squabbling: One of my former law partners wisely says that you should never engage in pig wrestling. Why? 1. You'll get dirty. 2. You wind up smelling like a pig. 3. The pig loves it. Without trying to decide who holds the moral high ground in this dispute (and without meaning any disrespect whatsoever to the disputants), they should carefully consider the above rule. By the way, this rule goes double for pig wrestling in public.

BT: Now that all that BS is over....On a lighter note can you please post a begging letter to any and all producers ( specially Vivid) That I really really really want to do Jullian.

Jenna Jameson Bashing

Wicked Pictures star Jenna Jameson got a thrashing from Nate on RAME: Just wondering if anyone else out there is sick and tired of all this Jenna crap. She hadn't did a film in nearly 2 years until this new one came out, and bottom line....it sucks. Wicked again trying to be all artsy-fartsy with lots of leather, latex, whips, and prudes. Jenna seems the be the definition of 'porn' to the mainstream, which is sad, because so many other girls work their asses off to give quality performances *cough Katie Gold*, and so many actually care about their fans *cough Rebecca Lord* and so many others are much more appealing for WHO they are *cough Leslie Glass*. Maybe if you are 16, then Jenna is great, but to those of us that really have observed porn for even a year or two, it's a mockery to see Jenna given so much hype. I will admit, at our store, we can't keep Jenna stuff on the shelves..sells out fast, but that only makes me sick cuz I just can't stand to see people fall all over a stuck up prude who's soooooo full of herself. How many boob jobs does it take to be the biggest porn star? How many times do you have to diss the people that made you who you are?

Jenna was supposed to dance here in Dallas at CaligulaXXI, however, she NO SHOWED, because she decided she wanted to spend the weekend with her fellow-prude Nikki Tyler. Jenna didn't apologize, cuz she doesn't give 2 s---s about her fans. Without people buying her crap she'd be just another blond bimbo sucking cock. You think she paid for those boob jobs??? She's a manufactured champion, like a boxer claiming a held up title. While she may always sell more tapes, sell out shows and turn on the puberty crowd, she'll never learn to appreciate her fans or to give a real effort in anything she does. They had her at our store a few months before I started, all everyone has told me is how much of a stuck up prude she was to everyone there, how she whined and complained and wanted everyone to wait on her hand and foot, like she was some godess with her outrageous demands. Later on when my management took her out to dinner, she thru what could be called a "hissy fit" at the restaraunt, so bad that none of my management wanted to be around her since so many people were just laughing at her. Guys, she's like the cheerleader captain from High School---she was stuck up then, she's stuck up now, she dated the QB then, she's dating some stud now, she was a psycho bitch then, psycho bitch now, the more things change the more they stay the same. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!!!! P.S. If you ever see Jenna, ask her what kind of gas goes in a Hummer, then duck.

Rebel: Yeah, I've heard alot of negative things myself about this broad. I even waited on line for a couple of hours once to see her at a video store (eventually walked off the line as she took too many "breaks" while us guys were standing all this time; she even made the store turn off a video of hers we were watching while waiting for reasons unknown). Yeah, she's a spoiled brat but I have to admit I am a sucker for her. Her looks, her body, even her voice gets to me. What can I say. She is a goddess in my mind and I'll be planning to check her out when she comes back to Long Island next month.

Martin: While I don't have the animosity toward her that you do, I have to admit she just doesn't do much for me sexually because you can tell by her performances that it's just a job. Now I know that these girls get paid to f---, but at least some seem to enjoy their time with a cock in them *cough Johnni Black* and they have some kind of personality *cough Chloe* . Jenna is the ultimate mannequin in her movies. And those rock hard cantelopes she calls tits just don't pass the muster.

DrJ: Contract problems were the reason Jenna cancelled a few of her appearances in Texas & Florida. Although her asking price, through her agent, is an astounding 10K per week .. Club owners continue to shell it out knowing full-well they'll make it back plus profits.

When Jenna first came into this industry [still with her natural breasts], she was anything but "stuck-up". I'm not going to claim that Jenna is "perfect" or anything to that effect, as she truly has become a bit conceited in the past few years; however, you can't make a judgement call as to her personality in the past if you did not know her personally. In my opinion she is still "good people". In reading your post, I believe you're just tired of the overkill. Which is quite understandable, but it doesn't make her a bad person. I'm sure you'll receive lots of feedback to your original post claiming Jenna is a "bitch", but from an insders point-of-view she is truly a genuine & caring person. I'm sorry your store's one incident has caused you to think otherwise.

Bono: I got to meet Jenna once at an AVN Halloween party a few years ago. While she wasnt as friendly as say Serenity or Kylie Ireland who I also got to meet I am sure she had spoken and signed a hundred autographs that day. I am a huge fan of hers and can overlook something like this as I am sure she was having a trying day. I think it is great that Jenna is coming back and wish her the best and only ask one thing, do some anal soon and keep taking those killer facials.

Luke Gets Mail

XXX writes: "I had dinner last night with some editors from the NY Times Magazine. I mentioned your parody of the NY Times coverage of Lilith Fair (this was some of your funniest work, I feel) and they were extremely intrigued by it all. So you may be hearing from them!"

Steve writes: "Knock off the satire. It was about half of yesterday's posting. It wasn't funny or entertaining. Just go back to giving your readers tidbits about the porn industry that they might not find elsewhere."

Luke has noticed synagogues in Los Angeles beefing up security following Buford Keeler's rampage. I went to a class Tuesday night on Job and got stopped by a security man and frisked. In today's Wall Street Journal editorial page, Dennis Prager writes:

Because of Europe's history of Christian anti-Semitism, many American Jews instinctively oppose any public expression of Christianity. This opposition has had a corrosive effect on American life. Sectarian Protestantism, a uniquely tolerant form of religious expression, has been the conduit of American democracy. It has created a uniquely secular government and a religion-based society.

American Jews must stop devaluing the Judeo-Christian basis of America. Without that basis, the moral glue that binds our diverse civilization will crack, and moral chaos will ensue. The weakening of Judeo-Christian values makes America a less moral place, and one more hospitable to hate groups. When moral norms break down, Jewish security will erode.
