There is very little honest debate of political issues anymore in the Orthodox Jewish world.

‎"Mr. Obama’s worst precincts were in Orthodox Jewish areas like Ocean Parkway and Williamsburg in Brooklyn and Kew Gardens Hills in Queens. In a few precincts in Borough Park, Brooklyn, Mr. Romney won more than 90 percent of the vote."

There is very little honest debate of political issues anymore in the Orthodox Jewish world. The mindset of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, et al & etc ,, dominates most all "frum" newspapers, websites and blogs. Opposing views rarely get aired or examined. 

Birther-ism and the view that 'Obama is some Muslim socialist' is shamefully the prevalent view in Orthodox Brooklyn. It is not at all uncommon to hear the N-word in reference to Obama among the shmoozers in shul & at Shobbos tables , with few ever protesting. 

> But just try and reduce food stamps, Section-8 and other "socialist" benefits, watch how quick the leadership of the 'yeshiva world' "revolts". <

The "yeshiva world" is a most bizarre and contradictory "body politic" for sure.

Why I like the Electoral College:

Why I like the Electoral College:

A national recount would be impossible. In 1960, 1968, 1976, 2000, and maybe 2012, there would have been screams and cries from the losers for a national recount. If we can barely recount Florida today , how could we recount the whole nation? 

The EC has worked fine since 1789, and has always provided a smooth transition of power. Never assume that is a given. 

No major democracy has a full direct election of the Commander-in-Chief, b/c it breeds revolutions .

If it is not broken , do not fix it .

With all due respect to Mitt Romney, he really does remind me of Max Headroom in this clip.

The Palestinians forming a peaceful Democratic state is the only solution.

When I first went to collage many moons ago -- 1976 to be exact -- I started my major in Pol-Sci. I was studying under an Jordanian Christian professor ( a leftist , but not extremist), and in the company of many Mid-east students , esp from Iran. 

You know, after many classes and much debate, we discoverd we agreed on most everything globally. But of course the Middle-East is more complicated. Why ? 

 It became an axiom of our studies,

 that both sides in the Palestine-Israel debate 

have a lot of "right" on their side , 

and both sides also got a lot of "wrong" on their side.

 Debating history ain't gonna solve anything. 

 Solutions will only come when Both sides either:

 HAVE TO resolve it, as when events on the ground make the situation untenable.

 OR just WANT TO resolve it. 

The later seems unlikely. 

But as everyone with a sane mind TODAY agrees, 

that as the Palestinian population grows faster over the next 10-20 years, 

the current status-quo  geo-political situation

 of an Occupation will become untenable. 

So you can "pay me now", or "pay me later" , as the saying goes: 

The Palestinians forming a peaceful Democratic state is the only peaceful solution.

(I am not holding my breath.)

a Strong Intellectual Democrat with Charisma will most always beat ANY Republican anytime for POTUS. Americans like smart Dems.

Notice how democrat presidents are always smart, well educated and w/fairly stable intellects: FDR, JFK, Carter, Clinton, Obama.

While of GOPs ones,, Nixon , was the very smartest by far - (as opposed to Reagan , and the two Bush-s )- and Nixon went crazy.

A Smart Charismatic Democrat candidate for Potus --those being FDR, JFK, Carter, Clinton Obama - win potus elections 9 to 1. <

Means that a Strong Intellectual Democrat with Charisma will most always beat ANY Republican anytime for POTUS. Americans like smart Dems. (JFK v Nixon: prime example. Maybe the 2 most dynamic politicians of the 20th Cent.)

Wet democrat rags like Kerry, Mondale [and as Carter became in 1980,] loose.

Humphrey & Gore, just barely lost , but again they do not quite fit the mold of being both very smart AND very charismatic, which just strengthens my point.

Obama is not Carter as much as the GOP would like to think he is, and Mitt Romney's rag is soaking up more water everyday, imho.

As LBJ and Truman fell into potus , and were not first elected, i did not count them in here above>> but either way, both won re-elect.

McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry they all lacked the great charisma factor, nor were they at the education / intellect level of FDR, JFK, Carter, Clinton, Obama::: Stevenson was smart had good charisma , but not great charisma , and he was against General DDE a war hero , & after 16 years of a Democrat POTUS>> Stevenson was just doomed. :: As far as Humphrey, had charisma but not a Rhodes scholar or Editor of Harvard Law Review type. And it still took a smart charismatic Nixon to beat HHH, and just barely.

Obama fits the mold of "Smart AND Charismatic Democrat" 110%, while Mitt Romney is a wet GOP rag.  Much like John McCain became in 2008.

Ok. Time to set the record strait on the "Hebrew Bible" as the reason why Christians ban Gay Marriage: The Christian Church does not ban Gay Marriage because of the Hebrew Bible Prohibitions.

Ok. Time to set the record strait on the "Hebrew Bible" as the reason why Christians ban Gay Marriage:


The Christian Church does not ban Gay Marriage because of the Hebrew Bible Prohibitions, (If they did they would have keep kosher and the other Mitzvahs also). The prohibitions in the 5 books of Moses only apply to Jews, and non-Jews are not required, (or even allowed) to keep them.


The VERY Early Church -- who remember where educated Rabbis -- adopted the "Seven Commandments given to Noah" as a practice for non-Jews to follow as new Christians. These "Sheva Mitvahs Beni Noach"-- which we only know of from the Talmud-- is a Jewish tradition the Jews hold applies to all mankind.


The Early Church , as Jews, were out to bring non-Jews into their new Jewish Messianic Sub-Culture, and required of them only "Faith" and these "Seven Mitzvahs of Naoch" as a practise. 


Interestingly , there is debate among the Rabbis of the Talmud, and later commentaries  as to exactly what are these 7 "laws" , and as to whether it bans 'gay-male-sex' , OR just , incest , adultery , and doing it with animals. 


As the Christian Church grew , they made Dogma out of their *interpretation* of the "7 laws of Noch", but their gay marriage ban is NOT based on the Hebrew Bible: 


So when we crtic RW anti-gays for singling out Gay Marriage from the Bible , really both sides are wrong in their premises:

1/2 of Americans dont know Obama's religion; 17% say he's Muslim:

Who said the internet wuld make us better informed?: 1/2 of Americans dont know Obama's religion; 17% say he's Muslim: news.yahoo.com/half-americans…

When the War on Drugs started a generation plus ago , Gambling was also illegal:

When the War on Drugs started a generation plus ago ,

 Gambling was also illegal: There where no state lotteries or Indian Casinos ,

 and the Mafia and other Org Crime ran gambling:

 But Gambling was making White people criminals, as most of the patrons of Gambling where white , and many were rich: 

 SO gambling became a state enterprise with lotteries , and a heavily taxed one with Casinos, and our culture is much better off for it : the Mafia barely exists anymore: :: Legalize DRUGS end the war on our inner cities.

"How America and hip-hop failed each other"

http://www.washingtonpost.com

By Touré, Published: July 13:

"President Nixon announced a war on drugs, but it was President Reagan who started the modern battle in 1982, when hip-hop was in its infancy. This fight would not only shape the black community but also mold hip-hop, a music and culture whose undercurrent remains black male anger at a nation that declared young black men monsters and abandoned them, killing any chance they had at the American Dream."
