To #20,
How come when I curse out a lib Commie all the libs come out of the woodwork to attack me?
What I was saying was that his statements are Anti-torah because he has no Hakoras Hatov to Pres. Bush. Hakoras Hatov is one of the tenements of torah. I wasn’t commenting on Socialism or Communism per say. That is for another discussion whether it is al pi torah.
BTW, what valid points does he mention? We all have heard these so called points time and again from the libs. You libs have to start thinking for yourselves and not just repeating the mantra you heard on NPR and others!

AN ACT LIKE THIS IS MORE SERIOUS THAN YOU THINK. IT IS A CALL TO REBELLION, AND IT MAY AWAKEN OTHERS WHO HAVE THE POWER TO ACT.

To #19, Health.

Post number 9 is not so wrong. In fact, many valid and good points are made. The reason I am posting to you is due to the very lowly and petty position many take where they try to validate ones Jewishness when anothers’ views on secular subjects dont fit in with the accusers status quo. How dare someone tell another something about them “is not Jewish” on these posting boards when dealing with secular and non halachic matters.

I can take several of your matters to task such as your assertion that Torah contains no elements of liberal or cummunal viewpoints whereby having a liberal or communistic view, if that is what one has, is to be found nowhere in the Torah. You are wrong!

Your other points are not Jewish in the absolute sense either, but I dont have time to write a very long post.

My suggestion is unless someone is advocating something clearly against Torah principles, dont play the “I’m a better Jew than you” card with regard to differing opinions on current events. It’s annoying and against the Chofetz Chaim’s recommendation that any annoying behavior should be avoided.

To #9- Ostrovsky,
I presume you are Jewish because you are blogging on YWN, but your statements aren’t. How do you know that the President doesn’t care about Darfur? Iraq started this war by invading Kuwait.
They didn’t follow the post war agreements- therefore the second war and also it is part of the war on terrorism. Iraq was left alone for years before this war. Iran has still not been attacked. Just because you are the president of the USA doesn’t mean you can go invading other countries where they don’t have civil rights; you have to have an international legal right before invasion. Your liberal commie comments are Anti-Torah (ever hear of Hakoras Hatov- Pres. Bush has basically kept the terrorists at bay since 9/11.) and Anti- American. Why don’t you move to a commie or arab country -where if you spoke against the President or Dictator, they lock you up and throw away the key.

I couldn’t help but think of the following Posuk which appears in Tehilim 60 and 108, both posuk 10. (The fellow threw two shoes)

עַל-אֱדוֹם, אַשְׁלִיךְ נַעֲלִי

We are certainly living in momentous times.

A fitting end statement for Bush’s involvement over there.

That guy who throw the shoe will be punished by his boss. The boss will ask “How could you be so stupid that you miss it” ?
