Well, you certainly are an effective propagandist for the DemoNcraP Party.

I won’t bother to bore the readers of this site with a point-by-point rebuttal, but I will simply tell you that a very great Talmid Chochom, Rav Avigdor Miller, clearly stated that the Democratic Party of today promotes everything that HaShem hates–Abortion-on demand, Sodomy “Rights,” “Feminis rights,” andthe abandonment of the Jews in Eretz Yisroel.

Rav Miller made it very clear: A jew should, with very few exceptions (like Ahrele Spector), support Republicans, because they are enerally against the degenerate forces that seek to rebel against HaShem and his Torah.

Yes, we fought government funded programs such as Social Security, The Great Society, and more because we predicted that a huge number of Americans would become dependent on governmental largesse to survive. Before then there was no massive starvation or suffering as FDR or Johnson claimed. A matter of fact, studies have been done to prove that FDR’s programs elongated the Depression by seven years.

To lump together the ability for a Shomer Shabbos Jew to work a flexible work week to fit his Shmiras Hamitzvos with anti-black rhetoric or with the unions is making an invidious comparison. It is being facetious and confusing the arguments. One has nothing to do with the other. But, if you do not mind paying higher taxes and finding it harder to cover your tuition bills because of the costs of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, et al. than go ahead and make my day!

P.S. To Deepthinker: so are you refusing to accept subsidies to transit, health, etc. It’s one think to disagree with someone but you should have derekh eretz.

Individuals with your outlook you fought Social Security in the 30s, Medicare in the 60s (saying they were the first step to “socialism”), resisted the Civil Rights acts that today protect your Shabbos observance, resisted food safety legislation a hundred years ago, clean air legislation over the past 20 years, fought the 40-hour work week, are anti-union, are intolerant of those who disagree with you, use the word “schvartze” with a sneer . . . . and today are just in an appoplectic fit that a progressive party is in power, and that (according to a CBS/NY Times Poll released yesterday) a sizeable majority of Americans approve of the Job Obama is doing and agree with him on all major issues.

–WRONG. It’s the “DemoNcrap Party”–The party of evil and Shtuss!

According to Wikipedia:

“Democrat Party” is a political epithet used in the United States instead of the name (or more precisely, the proper noun) Democratic Party. The term has been used by some conservative commentators and some members of the Republican Party in speeches and press releases. Some Democratic Party candidates, party officials, and non-partisan commentators have objected to the term. New Yorker commentator Hendrik Hertzberg wrote:

‘There’s no great mystery about the motives behind this deliberate misnaming. ‘Democrat Party’ is a slur, or intended to be – a handy way to express contempt. Aesthetic judgments are subjective, of course, but ‘Democrat Party’ is jarring verging on ugly. It fairly screams ‘rat’
