Even Orthodox publications will endorse liberal Democrats and begin their excuses with "as a minority . . . " That's all they have become. A "minority." And "minorities" must stand up for the atheists, the "gays," the pederasts, and the pornographers or else the "rednecks" will be coming for them next.
Completely forgotten is that the Jewish mission is to spread Universal Noachide Morality, not to survive as a "minority" by joining a coalition against it. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (zt"l) was the Gadol of his generation, and he ruled that it is forbidden to vote for any politician who doesn't respect Universal Noachide Morality. But now all that matters is being safe as a "minority" along with moslems and "gays."
I've actually read a piece in an Orthodox Jewish publication (not necessarily reflecting that publication's editorial policy, but it did run it) which said that even though homosexuality is contrary to the Noachide Laws, Jews must protect the right to violate Noachide Laws in order to protect the right to observe mitzvot (apparently in the sick little minds of the authors, the two were connected).
Yes, the Bible Belt's ignorance of post-Biblical, pre-modern history is very real. Sometimes I wish that ignorance were a little more widespread, at least in the Jewish community.
The above represents the views of the poster only, and no one else.
You are NOT reading the Jewish Press. There are far more articles against Obama there, and about the dangers to this country as well as Israel. Are you sure your publication is Orthodox? Right now, the Orthodox communities totally get it. They will be voting mostly Republican right now.
