Comment by me on frummies acted like mindless beasts in this election

oy shit.

it’s really put us in a weird place, those of us who are ortho progressives… yeesh.
at least a buttload of jews voted for him but, no joke, the mental health section of stern college had a big table set up today in case… well…

the only time a teacher mentioned the win was when a teacher said “how’s everyone doing on obama, is everybody ok?”

i got into a huge fight with a girl who not only said that obama was a terrorist who won’t let israel defend itself ( mindreader!)
first i tried to point out the loshan hara, then she said it’s ok to speak loshan hara about non jews!! she said that these are her views, but refused to provide any evidence to support her claim because, well, obviously…
she then opened up and told me that this is just another piece of the pre gog u magog picture (what is she referring to? leaders will be like dogs?! i hope not!)
of course i tried to remind her that as a matter of principle, prophecy in the torah is seen as a challenge for us to rectify the world, a warning of what will happen if we don’t.
i’m desperate, i feel like i’m drowning in a sea of hate and it’s all these jews who are supposed to know better for so many reasons.

the thing is, i really care… and it hurt my feelings during the campaign when Barack Obama was villified and his face was put next to dictators and tyrants. i’m sure someone is going to respond to this who (is a shithead) doesn’t feel so honky dory about the president elect, but jeez, get over it. the people voted. your distopian fantasies won’t happen as our utopian visions won’t, and at the end of the day we’re just all a bunch of human beings trying to make the best of what we’re given to the best of our abilities, Obama included.
it’d be nice if all the haters made aliyah right now, they could have 1 fucked up country instead of 2, making life just that much more palatable.

They did something similar to Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, those snags involved in what purports to be the English charedi publishing world.

They did not give the Kaplan family any money from any of the books, even those that were in manuscript form The only money the Kaplan family made was from a secular Jewish publishing house…

Now Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser, who took a poor Russian Shochet's story, edited out what the author had written and which did not jive with Goldwasser's weltanschauung.

Then he had the chutzpah of inflating his involvement in the story after just having met the author twice.

The author's protests have fallen on deaf ears, for Goldwasser is a hot-shot Rabbi with a column in the Jewish Press.

This has gone to Bes Din but Goldwasser did not show. I am assuming they will now take this to the N.Y. State Court

Just got this text from a Chabad Shliach: Oib m'davent MCCEIN efsher PAYLIN az der Aibeshter zol nisht BIDEN der president far A'BHAIMA…!!!!  

The mindless hordes possess medieval political philosophies akin to rednecks in the backwoods. The only views they have worth upholding are those of their great late Rebbe. To be effective, get rid of all your ill-conceived notions which you picked up from the Laura Schlesingers Sean Hannitys and Rush Limbaughs, empty that dumb-ass mind of yours, and fill it but only with the mind, intelligence and views of the Rebbe. When I say stupid I don't mean Shlomo Cunin, I mean Mulle Azimov.

And here is our  man Ron Paul, breaking it down for the dumb fuckers that were unable to get it the 1st time around.                                      

Recognize the room? That was our venue. For him to gloat about this and expect us to remain quiet… This is the third story I have seen in the past week. (from CrownHeights.info - Synagogue, and 'Spiritual Starbucks')

 The financial meltdown the economists of the Austrian School predicted hasarrived.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       We are in this crisis because of an excess of artificially created credit atthe hands of the Federal Reserve System. The solution being proposed? Moreartificial credit by the Federal Reserve. No liquidation of bad debt andmalinvestment is to be allowed. By doing more of the same, we will onlycontinue and intensify the distortions in our economy - all the capitalmisallocation, all the malinvestment - and prevent the market's attempt tore-establish rational pricing of houses and other assets.                                                                                                                                                   Last night the president addressed the nation about the financial crisis.There is no point in going through his remarks line by line, since I'd onlybe repeating what I've been saying over and over - not just for the pastseveral days, but for years and even decades.                                                                                                                                                                                                   Still, at least a few observations are necessary.                                                                                                                                                               The president assures us that his administration "is working with Congressto address the root cause behind much of the instability in our markets."Care to take a guess at whether the Federal Reserve and its money creationspree were even mentioned?                                                                                                                                                                                                               We are told that "low interest rates" led to excessive borrowing, but we are not told how these low interest rates came about. They were a deliberatepolicy of the Federal Reserve. As always, artificially low interest ratesdistort the market. Entrepreneurs engage in malinvestments - investmentsthat do not make sense in light of current resource availability, that occurin more temporally remote stages of the capital structure than the patternof consumer demand can support, and that would not have been made at all ifthe interest rate had been permitted to tell the truth instead of beingtoyed with by the Fed.                                                                                                                                         Not a word about any of that, of course, because Americans might thendiscover how the great wise men in Washington caused this great debacle.Better to keep scapegoating the mortgage industry or "wildcat capitalism"(as if we actually have a pure free market!).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Speaking about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the president said: "Becausethese companies were chartered by Congress, many believed they wereguaranteed by the federal government. This allowed them to borrow enormoussums of money, fuel the market for questionable investments, and put ourfinancial system at risk."                                                                                                                                                                                               Doesn't that prove the foolishness of chartering Fannie and Freddie in thefirst place? Doesn't that suggest that maybe, just maybe, government mayhave contributed to this mess? And of course, by bailing out Fannie andFreddie, hasn't the federal government shown that the "many" who "believedthey were guaranteed by the federal government" were in fact correct?                                                                                                                                               Then come the scare tactics. If we don't give dictatorial powers to theTreasury Secretary "the stock market would drop even more, which would reduce the value of your retirement account. The value of your home couldplummet." Left unsaid, naturally, is that with the bailout and all the moneyand credit that must be produced out of thin air to fund it, the value ofyour retirement account will drop anyway, because the value of the dollarwill suffer a precipitous decline. As for home prices, they are obviouslymuch too high, and supply and demand cannot equilibrate if governmentinsists on propping them up.                                                                                                                                             It's the same destructive strategy that government tried during the GreatDepression: prop up prices at all costs. The Depression went on for over adecade. On the other hand, when liquidation was allowed to occur in theequally devastating downturn of 1921, the economy recovered within less thana year.                                                                                                                         The president also tells us that Senators McCain and Obama will join him atthe White House today in order to figure out how to get the bipartisanbailout passed. The two senators would do their country much more good ifthey stayed on the campaign trail debating who the bigger celebrity is, orwhatever it is that occupies their attention these days.                                                                                                                                                                                     F.A. Hayek won the Nobel Prize for showing how central banks' manipulationof interest rates creates the boom-bust cycle with which we are sadlyfamiliar. In 1932, in the depths of the Great Depression, he described thefoolish policies being pursued in his day - and which are being proposed,just as destructively, in our own:                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Instead of furthering the inevitable liquidation of the maladjustmentsbrought about by the boom during the last three years, all conceivable meanshave been used to prevent that readjustment from taking place; and one ofthese means, which has been repeatedly tried though without success, fromthe earliest to the most recent stages of depression, has been thisdeliberate policy of credit expansion.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       To combat the depression by a forced credit expansion is to attempt to curethe evil by the very means which brought it about; because we are sufferingfrom a misdirection of production, we want to create further misdirection -a procedure that can only lead to a much more severe crisis as soon as thecredit expansion comes to an end… It is probably to this experiment,together with the attempts to prevent liquidation once the crisis had come,that we owe the exceptional severity and duration of the depression.                                                                                                                                                                             The only thing we learn from history, I am afraid, is that we do not learnfrom history.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The very people who have spent the past several years assuring us that theeconomy is fundamentally sound, and who themselves foolishly cheered theextension of all these novel kinds of mortgages, are the ones who now claimto be the experts who will restore prosperity! Just how spectacularly wrong,how utterly without a clue, does someone have to be before his expert statusis called into question?                                                                                                                                                                                         Oh, and did you notice that the bailout is now being called a "rescue plan"?I guess "bailout" wasn't sitting too well with the American people.                                                                                                                                             The very people who with somber faces tell us of their deep concern for thespread of democracy around the world are the ones most insistent on forcinga bill through Congress that the American people overwhelmingly oppose. Thevery fact that some of you seem to think you're supposed to have a voice inall this actually seems to annoy them.                                                                                                                                                                                *I continue to urge you to contact your representatives and give them apiece of your mind.* I myself am doing everything I can to promote thecorrect point of view on the crisis. Be sure also to educate yourselves onthese subjects - the Campaign for Liberty blog is an excellent place tostart. Read the posts, ask questions in the comment section, and learn.                                                                                                                                                                 H.G. Wells once said that civilization was in a race between education andcatastrophe. Let us learn the truth and spread it as far and wide as ourcircumstances allow. For the truth is the greatest weapon we have.
