10thAmendment dude is no longer a practicing Jew, or at least not Orthodox. So that is kind of moot.
I am a practicing Orthodox Jew, but my situation is a little different from some of the Observant Jews here on FR.
For one, there is no Synagogue within 50 miles of where I live, which is pretty remote. I do make sure that all my work is done and food prepared before sundown. At the proper time, I light the candles and recite the prayers. When the baby is in bed, I DO post on FR. It is my worst vice, but I think G-d will forgive me. It certainly isn’t work, and I have no family except for FR.
As I pray constantly, anytime, all the time, I do not fear that I will be foresaken. If this is the worst thing I ever do, I think I will be okay.
"...no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."
As mentioned earlier, I am a strong believer in the idea that the federal government should only be involved in constitutional functions. We should keep the Department of Defense and a bare-bones version of the Department of State. We should keep the Secret Service and the United States Marshals Service. We should keep the Department of Veterans Affairs but find a way to streamline it to ensure that veterans get better care.We should eliminate the Departments of Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security (except for ICE and CBP), Interior, Labor, Justice, Transportation, and most of their subsidiary agencies.
We should eliminate the FBI, DEA, EPA, ATF, IRS, FAA, among other agencies.
We should eliminate the Federal Reserve and abolish almost all federal taxes. These can be replaced with a flat tariff with a low rate of 3 or 4%, applied to all goods entering the country.
We should consider eliminating all of the lower federal courts except for the Supreme Court.
All of the functions performed by the eliminated departments and agencies should be returned to the states, where it will be their decision as to whether they need to have similar agencies performing similar functions at the statewide level.
The federal government only has the authority to regulate three crimes under the constitution: treason, counterfeiting and piracy. Today, they have more than 4500 crimes on the books. The only position consistent with the constitution is to repeal almost all of these federal crime statutes and return the matter of prosecuting them to the states. States are the proper venue for prosecuting crimes like murder and domestic terrorism. States like New York are perfectly suited to prosecute people like Bernie Madoff, we don't need the feds interfering. Military tribunals are the proper venue for prosecuting enemy combatants.
What do you say that we both forget about your earlier statement about leaving this thread and you can come back here and explain why you left Orthodox Judaism and so forth.
He freepmailed you too, eh?
And no, 10th, I am not a professional agitator. Stop projecting.
I’ve tried through various (sometimes devious) ways to get the moderators and Jim Rob to act on this 10thGuy problem.
They’ve ignored the pings.
I’ve been sent nasty FReepmails from TrollGuy too. I even took it public. The troll hit report abuse (on his own words!) and the moderator deleted the post.
So. We have an infiltrator straight from the DUmps who is agitating on and off the forums, and Jim Rob does nothing about it.
All Righty Then.
However, I do have A LOT of experience getting troll zotted, I've even been labeled the "Grand Inquisitor" by some.
bfl and bookmarked
I’ve gotten several of 10thAmendedTroll’s FReepmails.
So have I. Should we post them?
Nahh. I did that and TrollGuy hit report abuse and his mod buddy deleted the reply. Not sure why. I didn’t take it as a personal attack, and they WERE TrollGuy’s own words he reported, but posting them won’t work.
Should we forward them on the JR and the mods? Sure. Why not. We all need to have them scold us for having too thin a skin (sarc!).
I know! We can all privately use our FReep-mails to discuss why FRee Republic is allowing liberals to serve as moderators.
Heh heh. Nothing they can do about THAT. Just like they are doing nothing about what 10thGuy has done.
I said upthread that I’ve used various (and devious) ways to get the mods (and JR) to respond. Post 91 is yet another atempt. See if it works....
I got one that I wanted to post, but it would probably be deleted.
Did you get the one promoting sodomy?
...Sorry, just eavesdropping as per my tag...
Thank you, Admin Moderator. I will now exit the thread again.

Trolling?
I don’t understand how wagglebee (who has been a solid FReeper for years - not days) is trolling. Nor do I understand how wagglebee (who has hundereds of backers on this site) is trolling.
As you well know, we conservatives have been after you for days now regarding this 10thGuy problem, you have ignored it.
And now? Now you finally respond with accusing wagglebee of trolling?
Bad move.
