Michael Lerner, Bill and Hillary's mentor, is a Kabbalist. Tikkun, the name of his magazine, is the Kabbalist ideal. Tikkun means the repairing of the world. As long as there are conservatives left in the world, it needs to be fixed. Fashioned in accordance with his occultic, new age ideals.

If the witch gets elected, it will be like Old Testament Jezebel times.

Lerner takes issue with the New Testament usage of "right hand." What he isn't telling you is it is a Jewish term, not a Christian one. An idiom for strength, power, and favor.

"It is easy to understand how conservative Christians have influenced politics and populace in America, says Rabbi Michael Lerner. It has been about taking ownership of the human need to feel valued, protected and directed." But never because they may actually be right...Liberal can't fathom why anyone could reasonably decide to be conservative so they have to psychoanalize us and point to greed, fear, poor education, brainwashing, and goodness knows what else. It's the same sydrome, I think, that causes them to blame crime on economics and "society", never because the criminals chose to be criminals. And liberals never choose to be liberals, their just "good people" and "enlightened". And all poor people are poor because of "society". No one in their world has free will; it's always these mystical outside forces.

An end to U.S. militarism and immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.

If it were not for "U.S. militarism", Rabbi Lerner's mother would be a lampshade in a German home right now.

I wonder why the good rabbi believes that the Iraqi people are not worth saving from butchery.

{What is the danger? The Religious Right "creates a group of insiders and outsiders, and the outsiders are frequently demeaned," he argues. That can include gays and lesbians, ethnic and religious minorities, activists and others who question conservative theology.}

How hypocritical is that? He's writing an article demeaning religious conservatives as "dangerous".

That reminds me of a likewise 'brilliant' and 'compassionate' mind ...I believe his name was Nero?

Because for a liberal, it's better to feel bad about a tradgedy than to avert one, or save people from one.

The problem is people like Russert put this nut on his shows and treats him like what he says is good theology. Does Russert know anything about religion or theology. Any one who does knows this man does not believe in the Bible. The old Testament ie Hebrew Bible. He is like our left wing theologians who do not even believe any more but preach socialism. If they are going to be put on shows the host needs to name them as socialists not religious theologians unless they want to point out their theology and religion is Socialism.

Why did I know it was going to be Lerner even before I mashed the link?

What he is not telling you is that the term "left hand" is referring to the black side of the occult i.e., the "left hand path" refers to the practice of black magic.

Perhaps he is letting us know (unconsciously of course) what kind of "spirituality" he is really into.

Jeep IN MIND, AS YOU READ THIS, THAT BY DEFINITION ANYONE WHO IS THE SLIGHTEST BIT RELIGIOUS IS OF THE RIGHT.

THERE IS NO RELIGIOUS LEFT. BY DEFINITION, ANYONE ON THE LEFT CANNOT BE THE SLIGHTEST BIT RELIGIOUS.

Well, we've got lots of angry illegals openly wandering the streets these days, angry gay men pelting one another with fruit, angry lesbians beating one another over the heads with vibrators and last night a Card-Carrying Communist was elected to head the 'Madistan City Council,' so we may as well add an angry Rabbi to the mix, LOL! In other words, things are pretty normal. *Rolleyes*

When the local Amish start getting angry and protesting this or that, then I'll know all is lost...which may happen soon if the Feds keep pushing through the tagging of our livestock.

Christians (especially we Lutherans) pretty much keep to ourselves. We have lots of behind the scenes subvertin' to do at our Pot Luck Dinners, don't 'cha know? And we're making Lefsa at a fever-pitch these days, getting ready for the Syttende Mai Festival.

I find it hard to believe the Good Rabbi could find something wrong with us when we clean up so nicely! ;)
