1) I am a BT.
2) I have volunteered in “kiruv” with students in the US.
Therefore, I have reason to know about these songs if only to show that the culture they come from is but a puff in the sky with (fake or blood) diamonds compared to the eternal truth of Torah.
And it is only for the sake of Jews who are Bnei Torah that Hashem blesses America with (dwindling) freedom and prosperity.
We are am segula, and we do not depend upon ama-reka. Hashem Hu Malkeinu, veLoi hineni nevunim. HaTorah HaKedoisha hi chayeinu, velah hineni maaminim. Or if you prefer a less politically charged song, anachnu maaminim bnei maaminim veein lanu al mi lehishoen elo al Avinu Shebashamayim!
Already Chabad houses in Asia are full of frum Yidden who are there for parnossoh because the US economy is moribund and Asia is the new frontier. If this foolish leftism does not stop, America will become no different from any Western European socialist country where only a few politically connected people have any money and the rest depend on big government for makework jobs and benefits.
