Boro Park turns out for Bush

I really think it is the dawn of a new day. OK for some of us, it is the sunset of the new day.

This is a topic worthy of future discussions.

Yet, I just feel like our country has found its map.

I think our country has finally just decided 'we have had enough' We the traditionalists are also the ones who don't want to govern every minute of your life, we are the tolerant. But you who hold the power on the left have moved too far, you are not satisfied to have others just accept that you want to live your life in your way, you took the step to say that ALL must live life in your way, that OUR children must be educated in your image, OUR faith must be converted to your belief.

We have finally had enough, and our instinct to protect that which makes us who we are - the legacy of the Founding Fathers- has finally awakened and we are fighting back to stop the destruction of this great country.

Too bad vote-fraud ridden New York won't post timely precinct results so we could check the Boro Park precincts totals!

[Cinnamon Girl]

Hey, where are all the "Jews vote for commies and drink KoolAid" nuts on this thread?

[SJackson]

They'll be here.

Though on a Brooklyn (I think Boro Park is there) thread they'll be Jews=Russian mafia posters.

A shame the Dodgers left for the wastelands.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

"Schadenfreude" Sounds like something my gramma used to say...

This must be a type of strudel or pastry? Right?

I will google it and find a recipe.

"Yet, I just feel like our country has found its map."

Thanks for the ping, Alouette.

FMC, that is an excellent way to put it!
We have been floundering along accepting whatever the liberals want to shove down our throats.
No more! It's time to fight back - yesterday, today, and everyday!

It's very encouraging to see the Jewish voters turning away from the liberal lies.

[Cicero]

I believe that the great majority of observant religious Jews voted for Bush. It's the progressive secular Jews who voted for kerry.

What does it mean to be a Jew? Part of it is in the blood. Part of it is a matter of simply choosing to be a Jew rather than repudiating your heritage.

But to me, as an outsider, the most important thing for a Jew is to observe the Covenant.

"This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live."

--Deuteronomy 30:19

[Alouette]

I really think it is the dawn of a new day.

Ha'aretz actually wrote a pro-Haredi article! I'm going to faint.

[Aquakat]

Late into the night, a Jew in a silk coat and with a long and well-cared-for beard left the polling booth. He had long side curls and refused to give his name. But he did admit to voting for John Kerry. He is aware that he is among a small minority in the neighborhood.

WOW, surprise, surprise, surprise.

Usually those voting for Republicans try to stay in the closet.

[Alouette]

"Schadenfreude"

This must be a type of strudel or pastry? Right?

You bet! No carbs or calories, just Democrats moaning and wailing.

[Palladin]

Thanks for posting this. I posted on Monday that Orthodox and Hasidic Jews would vote for Bush.

It's nice to find out I was right.

[Clemenza]

Ping!

[Clemenza]

Until quite recently, I lived in a nabe that adjoined Borough Park. This is good news.

Now get out there and convert some of your more secular minded bretheren! ;-)

[Alouette]

Now get out there and convert some of your more secular minded bretheren! ;-)

My sons are out already doing that in the former Soviet Union.

[Clemenza]

Happy to hear that. Tell them to say hello to Lev Leviev (sp) for me.

[SJackson]

Sweet, though not a pastry.

You're going to love it!

And you already know the recipe.

[Piranha]

Ha'aretz has a new religious editor (since mid-summer).

[FreeReign]

Boro Park has always been one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC...and I'm not even Jewish.
