I am bummed out

I was going home yesterday the pain in my ankle has spread to my knee. A woman with a cane called my name. It took me a few moments to recognize a beloved friend I sorely miss every day. To me she was always the loveable hippie chick forever eating whatever health food was in at the moment. She raidiated a rare type of beauty in that she was stunning and clueless about it at the same time.

She was very private about what ailed her and many took her absences as her being a nut. She came in yesterday to officially retire in her 40's. Inside I was crying that I would miss a valued friend and likely will never see her again. She laughed because I was floored and pointed out that typically I would get on her nerves for trying to cheer her up. The sound of her laughter had a musical quality. Somehow, people either loved her or hated her.

She let me in on a little secret that she always knew I was a Republican. How she figured this out is not clear. Attorneys from various communities assume I am a Democrat and an Obama man because I believe in fair treatment. I also despise cronyism and nepotism which is rampant at work.

I had no idea what this ailment is, but I miss my friend. I miss riding to work with her and her subtle beauty and grace. I miss laughing together with her. I can't say there was a minute that I never felt anything less than blessed by her friendship.

Good Lord

Every now and then I am reminded that I am surrounded by people unfamiliar with the local culture. Someone born in the West Indies asked me what language Dion and the Belmonts were singing. I responded that Doo Wop is basically mostly local NYC English. At times it is comedic when another asked if Ramalama Ding Dong was the family name of my girlfriend's Guyanese family. As Ramalama Ding Dong is local slang for nasty alcoholic the answer is yes.

Sometimes, I am floored by the ignorance of Rav Roov. He apparently fell asleep when the subject of art came up. Likewise his children are complete and utter zeros when art or culture are discussed. Apparently, these areas are sorely neglected in the religious education. Then again any of AOW's students is miles ahead of these kids. Apparently, the stringent dual education of my youth has given way to sloth. I see zero value imparted by wasting a childhood with hours of religious education. Given the price of private schools one would think that a more streamlined religious studies would evolve. I find spending any length of time with Rav Roov to be an annoyance. He has gone from well balanced to a cartoon.

The disgusting abortion tirades

As a person who has never been pro life, I frequently find the behavior of those who agree with me to be an embarrassment. Those who support abortion are are overly emotional, condescending, obtuse and  absurdly hypocritical in exchanges. Abortion is not and is not a divine right and the same people who talk about rights seem to jump through hoops with every other aspect of governmental intrusion into the lives of people. Abortion is a divine right but your right to smoke or kick back a beer must be examined by the nanny state.

The number of people seeking abortions for classic stranger rape is not statistically significant in the overall discussion of abortion.Abortion is most often a mater of economic choice and just as rape is an extreme example that is rare so are those who decide to abort for such reasons as wrong gender of the child. Abortion for gender selection does happen but it is not the norm. No doubt one could likely write a book about the vacuous reasons some make this serious decision. Of course you can get pregnant from being raped. You also can get pregnant from an affair with a married man with a wife dying of cancer or a consensual relationship with Mr Disgusting I Can't Believe I Did That Jerk. Getting pregnant via consensual poor partner choice is likely more probable than getting pregnant from being raped because these poor partner selections as in the case of John Edwards involve multiple encounters.

What did these same jerks say about investigating the rape accusation against Bill Clinton? The same people screaming about poor adjectives lionized Ted "Chapaquidick" Kennedy and stood by as the legal rights of a maid were violated to free a French Socialist Baboon.

I have always supported abortion, but the antics of those who agree with me are vile.

Monica Crowley What the $^$^& Hppened

I am a huge fan of Monica Crowley. I used to listen to her and correspond with her when she was a local NYC radio host. After a scare with a creep she stopped communicating with the public. The person I knew over the years is what you see on TV witty, brilliant and she has a great sense of humor. She chided me over enduring chick flicks and having to buy a pashmina several girlfriends ago. Probably 1% of all guys know what a pashmina is and that it has to bee 100% cashmere for NYC style authenticity.

When I was stationed in VT, I was unable to follow her show. I do not recall why, but it was a combination of working Saturdays to avoid a coworker who was worse than the ten plagues. She was the one who complained that guys talking about motor oil and car parts makes an uncomfortable atmosphere and the rather idiotic complaint about mistaking a word from a Mitchner book for a Yiddish racial epithet. Mitchner was not Jewish and the term was in Afrikaans.

I am in the early stages of reading her latest book. It seems as if she has dialed up the comedy in a manner one does not normally associate the elegant and brilliant Crowley from listening to her in regular media. In fact her skill at comedy in a pleasant way was one of the most endearing manner. The best women can laugh at the sometimes clueless way men go about mundane tasks. I am prepared to risk my life in times of danger but if you want to see me in terror make me go to a greeting card store to pick out a Valentines day card. I can solve complex legal matters in a way respected by the best attorneys in my area, but ask me to pick out a pashmina and I am lost.

The last few years have been rough on us as the Obama administration's ineptness or malfeasance has run amok. Often I look at empty storefronts and aliens self deporting for lack of jobs and wonder what were we thinking when America elected an arrogant neophyte endlessly droning on about hope and change. Crowley states what many of us feel in our hearts, but in a witty stylish way.

If this should read Monica could you send a copy to Patrick Kelly aka The Pagan Temple who is in the hospital with heart difficulties.

Relapse

The pain in my ankle is mind numbing. In spite of the pain I guided a small party of NYC Tourists between stations durring the Subway problems. I do not grasp why but in times when locals are nervous I become a natural leader.

I guess having a plan and being confident inspires others. I should have rested but the situation required I lead the party onwards, cracking jokes all the way.

I am paying for my excess.

Breaking a Vow for now

Those of you who are long term readers are aware of my revulsion of racial garbage. In truth sometimes our friends have disgusting views. Patriotism and Americanism are central values in what makes me who I am.

I am a Jew and this is part of my identity. Funny, but when the subject of the Satmar come up I find myself echoing some of the things Ducky has said. These should be the Duck's favorite Jews because they reject Israel and badmouth the community they demand alms from.

My criticism of the Satmar comes from a different place. They are a sick and twisted cult of sloth that has embraced evil in many forms. They bad mouth Zionists and Jews in general but when you fight back they try the religious bit.

Let me start by saying that after Marxists/Anarchists the Satmar are the most despised people in the Jewish community. Their community members are well aware of this hatred and they frequently resort to dishonest tactics. Tactic number one is denying they are Satmar. When caught they state they privately disagree with their leaders, but remain in the group for family reasons. They will collect for charities and carefully avoid mentioning it is a Satmar institution.

Many religious groups have been rocked by child abuse scandals. Only the Satmar try to bully the victims into silence, try to bribe victims and hold rallies for perpetrators. This is a sick cult led by morons and in a totalitarian community the question is what did the leadership know about the sexual predators and are they involved in attempting to silence victims.

The rates of welfare and creating hordes of unemployable kids are not a divine right. The taxpayers should not be burdened with families who clearly produce more children then they can afford. The Satmar hate the Zionists but have no problem demanding aid from the Israeli government they betray and the larger American community they insult with their bombastic arrogance.

Whenever, there is criminal behavior in the Chasidic community the Satmar are front and center. A Yeshiva is involved in money laundering invariably it is those all moral Satmar. A ring of benefits fraud is discovered and it leads back to the same people.

The Satmar are a sick cult with Jewish pretensions that really deserve scorn by other members of the Jewish community.

Very Odd

I have always been known as a fast healer. The swelling is way down and I am close to pain free. Unfortunately, I had to go in because of that situation with the particular case. Two cases in a row with a particular practitioner whose cases are difficult and she is always late is vey hard.

This may sound funny but punctuality drives me up a wall. Hey can you possibly be any later. I am waiting for someone to say two hours isn't late enough.

I was very angry at the peer who did this to me. There are certain practitioners who drive me up the wall. This one is probably near the top because she means well and takes on some of the most difficult cases. This is not a problem if you are a legal star and there are many in NYC. It is funny but even the very good can handle some difficult cases.

A great attorney said Beaky what will it take to get this case done. I told her a very simple but crazy idea. Provide a one page memo on why this section of the law doesn't apply to your client. In short mere possesion of that item does not violate that section of the law it requires an affirmative act. I was floored that this information was on my desk in hours and her client approved pronto.

90% of being a great lawyer is listening to your client and being prepared when you have to present your case. The first part is what is going on here. Even the greatest lawyers have clients that lie.  Did your client talk to you about his arrests.  No Beaky can I have 15 minutes. Certainly it is a reasonable request. Lawyers can't help clients who don't tell the whole truth. In many cases the failure to tell the truth is a greater problem than the crime itself. Only a handful of times did the information make the case impossible. Having a client that killed someone and then jumped bail in a foreign country is an almost impossible case. Note, I do not say impossible for maybe there is some legal star who can deal with this and turn defeat into victory. However, the legal stars I know would not touch  this.

If you are well prepared a good officer can look at the presentation and say if it passes the grade. The case of the attorney who needed a short memo was an excellent example. She was well prepared knew the case inside and out and got her client very close to their goal. If I write the memo it may be two weeks or more.

Applicants frequently cry in my office especially after going through years of paper. I joke don't cry until you see your lawyers bill. Everyone laughs but I add without a dedicated professional you definately would not have made it.

Racial Supremacistsa are A$$wipes

Those of you who read this blog comprehend that I take the nature of racial arson to be so offensive that I parted ways with a friend who had never wronged me for having a blogsite known as Stormfront Lite. I have no patience for racial arsonists of any color. Nor are repeated descriptions of any citizen as nego multiple times acceptable. In reality Obama is 50% white and was raised by an upper middle class white Marxist family. He had next to no contact with the African community save mentor Communist Frank Marshall Davis. Barak Sr. looms as the mythical son of an African Post Colonial Marxist Eden.
In reality Obama was a pothead preppie nerd that could have played in Save by the Bell Along With Screetch.

Early in the campaign there were gripes from Jessie Jackson about authenticity. When we talk about the African American Experience one is usually talking about inner citties, poor rural enclaves of hard working God fearing rural folks, middle class suburban professionals who are the backbone of their jobs and communities or people educated at historically Black schools. This description does not describe Obama who is the mythical son of Africa raised by his far left white family in almost a cartoon like reality.

It is okay to hate Obama and his policies. It is never okay to hate him on racial or to a limited extent religious grounds. The bombastic rhetoric of Pastor Wright is not far removed from a Black version of Stormfront.

This attack on a Sikh Temple was an attack on America and its values. Furthermore Sikhs are a wonderful people who work hard and are great members of their communities. Those of you who know the Great Gasmasked Patriot have witnesssed his disgust for this type of hateful unamerican mindless pointless violence.

Just as 9-11 was an attack on America so is this crime. There is no rationalization or excuses for pointless acts of violence aimed at our fellow American citizens based on skin color or clothing.

POINTLESS Hatred of people on RACIAL, RELIGIOUS or Individual Legal Choices is UNAMERICAN

America and its great traditions are too important for political losers to steal our patriotism and nationalism in the name of IGNORANT hatred.

USA USA USA Our values and historical birthright belong to each and every American Citizen. We don't have second class citizens in my country. Jail is earned after inappropriate behavior after a trial.

USA USA USA!!!!!!!!!!!Our Country!!!!! Our People!!!!!! Our Traditions and Values!!!!!!!!
A birthright to some and hard earned birthright  to others who legally joined us.

Oh my .....%^&^%^&

If matters with these religious slackers weren't bad enough now I have a sprained ankle. The pain was so bad I had to crawl up the steps. I can't sleep because of the pain and unless I die I must make it in early. One of the junior officers stuck me with two cases with an attorney who drives me up the wall. She takes cases over her skill level and I have to do triple work.

I explained to the junior officer who cried to my boss. You may no longer socialize with me and do not ask me any questions. You can win a battle but lose the war. My boss was shocked to see me so annoyed, but I just spent two hours with this same attorney who took yet another case over her skill level.

The junior officer was upset and said Beaky if I knew this would end our friendship... I did not respond and pointed her to the door. People are well aware that when someone annoys me I don't talk to them for years.

My boss asked me do you think that is a bit extreeme. I told her dealing with that attorney for four hours is that annoying. The attorney is a good person who means well, but not all of us are stars. If an attorney is prepared I am really nice.

I can't even put my shoe on.

Watching the Informer

I was visiting a good friend and the subject of old films came up. There are certain films that only film heads recall. One of the films we discussed was the Beast. That is likely the best film ever shot about the subject of Afghanistan. We discussed older films I intended to watch but never did. As soon as I discussed the Informer his eyes lit up.

When watching the movie it is likely best viewed with the frame that you ultilize when going to a play. A basic familiarity with the story of Judas and redemption are helpful.

I sat rapt in awe of what is in many ways an art film. The use of lighting and scarce dialouge makes careful viewing necessary. It is a great film and the lead actor is more familiar to modern viewers as the brother of Maureen Ohara in the Quiet Man.

Gypo plays a dimwitted giant who is more functional than the one portrayed in Mice and Men. Like in Mice and Men he needs the help of a more clever pal to get by. He sells this friend out and is plauged by guilt. He spends the money foolishly and is killed for his actions. After being shot he stubles into a Church confesses his crime to the mother of his friend rises and dies.

Later on no doubt the Duck will talk about the charachter Gypo in class terms. The theme of the movie is about redemption and the consequences of ones actions. Gypo does get another person to think for him in the form of a groupie who is there for King Gypo as long as the money is there.

I would rather shelve the cleansed depiction of the IRA. The IRA is treated  almost nobly and in reality the matter would be solved with a bullet in the head.

Bad Satire Pirates of the Carribeakerkin

They ply the water between the keys and Guyana. Woe onto thee whose ship sees the dreaded Black and white Gasmask flag. Shoulod your ship contain vegan fare and Lite beer you might be keel hauled or made to watch Ducky's art films.

The Anti Semitic Duck and Welfare Queens

The Duck has zero problem using the generic welfare Queen bit on Jews in Kiryas Joel but if you extend this to housing projects you are a racist.

The problem of religious slackers is deeply personal. My family is not Chasidic but Modern Orthodox. The troubles do indeed have a mental health component that mimics many inner city problems minus the broken families, drug use and promiscuity.

The inability to plan long term is a key annoyance. My family thinks it is no great deal to make plans at the last second. They drop in at the last second and stay for weeks annoying the rest of the world. You can't ever get an answer from them when you need to plan. The reality is they don't give a shit about your time and respect others.

Chronic tardiness and disrespect for the clock save the Sabbath. I am at wits end with the lack of punctuality. I get BS we make the worship on time but goof off the rest of the time. I live in a time conscious world. I rise head to work racing the clock meeting impossible deadlines each and every day. I am floored how this relative has allowed his wife to ignore the clock save the sabbath. They talk and make no plans and the kids have zero structure. My relative complains he works three jobs. My response is ass wipe you have allegedly worked three jobs because your wife refuses to work one. Her lack of punctuality is really a tool for controlling others. The religious bit ensures that most of us bite our tongues.

Being on the phone all day. The idiotic relative uses her cell phone so much a surgeon would need to remove it. It is not normal to call your kids multiple times at 2 AM. Then when the kid sleeps absurd hours its Epstein Barr and off to a series of doctors. Telling the moronic mother to have structure like the rest of us and get a job and a life is not happening.

Paranoia and viciousness. Despite feigned devotion they are nasty people who push your buttons. This relative honestly thinks he is the center of the universe and gets upset if he thinks you joke about him. If I died tomorrow my desk would be filled the next day. Maybe a few people I came into contact with would remember an anecdote or two and that is it. It is the nature of the world rivers cut mountains over time. This is why I could care less what other people think and worry about doing the right thing for its own sake. This relative is quite vicious and lives in a fantasy world where I even discussed my life with him. In reality, I would never do so because he is useless and mean spiritted. He will say the most hateful things about your personal life and want you to feel sorry for his lot.

A long time ago I faced a similar challenge. The woman I loved was a slacker. I probably would have gone to law school but I chose marriage. I worked a series of jobs for family and broke my tail. My wife stayed at home did nothing while I worked like a dog often 15 hours a day. I did not come home to a meal and got lectures about going out. She played games with going back to relatives and ultimately I had to change the locks. I lost the woman I loved with all my heart, but I was not going to be made into a donkey.  I made this tough choice and despite the pain it was the correct choice. Had I made the error of having children I would never be free. Some people wonder what became of so and so. I really am not like that and prefer not to know about lost loves and old friends. Her picture does sit tucked in the corner, but I never regretted that choice. This relative made a different choice and fears being alone.

People who know me seldom see me curse. This spouse and her annoying ways have gotten under my skin. I actually told this religious nut we are like Jacob and Esau. I want nothing to do with you  and our relationship is over.

Were this a single mother in a housing project many racists would use the pejorative welfare queen. This family is not on welfare and teeters near debt because of Yeshiva bills and sloth. Had this person been gainfully employed over the last 20 years life would not be so tough.

There is a place for psychotherapy but there will be no help here. This is not sloth in their eyes it is devotion to God. Having been on a cellphone all day and the Internet figures in ways beyond my
grasp.

Richard Cohen moron and Harrys Place Failures

The NY Daily News is an amusing paper in that it allows two of the greatest morons to foul its pages with idiocy on the op-ed section. The king of morons is Richard Cohen whose classic" the founding of Israel was a well intentioned mistake". writes of Romney the Tea Party Parrot.

Romney's comments about culture were factual and long overdue. Cohen is unable to find a factual error so like a drunken Beltway Bon Vivant he uses a hack writers cliche about Tea Party Parrots. Comparing the imbecile Cohen to a hack is an insult to hack writers everywhere. Cohen is the Gold Standard of idiocy.

Harry's Place is usually interesting reading and its coverage of subjects in the UK is usually good. The writers  tend to be fair across the board and will discuss excesses of the left such as criminal rioting.
In fact when leftist riots were responsible for vandalism the authors of Harry's Place addressed the subject promptly.

The problem with Harry's Place is its American coverage is run by a poorly selected political extremist who is the laziest blogger on the planet. He writes post after post critical of the Tea Party lifted from Huffington and ignored the criminal mayhem and Jew hatred at OWS.

Gene is an open socialist who yearns for the days of "big labor". He is critical of Chavez and Castro and wants to see the USA become EU lite. He views Americans who prefer smaller government as quaint talk radio junkies. He has a Greek chorus of flunkies the Maytag repairman Josh Scholar who screams Obama critics are all racist and ponders about critics of Obama's penile functions. The mindless sophomoric Sophia who spouts cliche anti American drivel and stupidity. She does not trust a video of David Duke voicing his support for OWS because it came from a right wing source. The video shows Duke in his own words. There is the foul tempered Vildechaya who claims to be against Marxism and the far left but constantly rails at every Michael Ezra post incoherently. He sees no Marxist link to anti Zionism.

A recent illustration of the stupidity of Gene who claims Palestinians are similar to Jews because they respect education and have a tradition of business ownership. Gene fall back on repeating  the standard Cuban cliche about literacy rates. Cuba has a high literacy rate and the people are not given the freedom to read what they wish. Cuba remains a basket case because its people are held back by a Marxist thugocracy that has zero respect for property rights and is a leftist kleptocracy.

The claim the Palestinians value education is amusing. One sees plenty of honors accorded criminal terrorists who target civilians. Their state controlled media is frequently on the level of Der Shturmer.
The GDP is largely transfer payments from abroad as kleptocracy stifles any attempts to build a normal society with a functioning economy.

While Gene wrote post after post about imagined Tea Party racism, he failed to write any posts about actual OWS Jew hatred and criminality. He could not find a single factual error in anything Romney stated but clings to the myth that Obama supports Israel. Actually Romney seems to get along with Israeli leaders quite well.

HP needs a more mainstream American correspondent to be taken seriously. Gene's off the wall views and his Americans are backwards attitude has left many pondering if he is American. His off the wall views are typical of Beltway Bon Vivant airheads waxing off about working class folks they never see save the odd domestic they exploit and Gore Vidal novels. His intellectual sloth and shallowness have made an otherwise fine resource into a joke.

There Comes a Time to Close the Book

I have effectively ended the relationship with the annoying relative.  One can not divorce a blood relative but I was quite explicit in my instructions. Do not talk to me ever again.

For years I have dealt with a series of slights. The game is that this clod relative or his boorish spouse step on my toes and when I snap knock it off they do the victim act. I am tired of the victim act which I have endured for decades. Sorry, but I am tired of the bullshit and arrogant religious delusions of granduer. I live my own life and will not tollerate airheaded intrusions into my zone of privacy. Quite frankly I am embarassed by this relative and his ass backwards ways.

I live a secular life. I have no desire to be more religious and want my wishes respected. Live your life, but leave me alone. I grow weary of intrusions on my space and time.

Sorry, your life is rough. I have zero pity for you. You have allowed your wife to gold brick for two decades. She does not work and has zero inclination to return to work. You cry about three jobs because your wife works zero jobs. This does not prevent her from giving career advice or lecturing others. Hey moron if its been 20 years since you were gainfully employed stuff it. Of course this person could see a shrink and deal with her time management issues but then its just me being cranky. You allowed this, so either tell her to shape up or quit crying.

I have one more month of this bull shit. Had I been warned in advance I would have traveled to get away from these jerks. Of course I get a series of excuses my life is not stable I can't plan blah blah

The old excuse was the air conditioners broke. Now the new excuse is there are special classes that can only be offered here and not in his more religious community. No big deal the child in question is pleasant and not a jerk, Unfortunately, his mother misses him and needs to be here all week and that where my patience ends.

Sometimes it takes more strength to tell a relative to get lost than continue on this way. I have a month where I will be lucky if I get three hours sleep a night, This I can endure and will survive because I am tough and meaner than the next man.

Long ago this relative should have told his wife to shape up or ship out. Instead he permitted her to become a walking labotomy. This labotomy has no clue about time. She is late for everything and does not grasp leave me alone means leave me alone. People that know me for thirty years state they have never seen me curse but this jerk takes the cake. He is too weak to divorce this clown and wants pity. There is no pity as twenty years of sloth and tardiness is too much.

In some ways we would be luckier if this were an addict. All of us could stage an intervention and get these annoying behaviors into the open. As this person is a religious slacker that is out of the question.

What Romney Said is true

Romney has stated a basic truth that dives politically correct people up a wall. Basically, the greatest resource a country has is its people. A country that invests in an educated work force will have a greater economy than one with natural resources.

The truth is that allowing the population to utilize its talents entrepreneurially  creates more wealth and freedom than imagined workers paradises. An engineer must be free to seek the employer of his choice or form his own company. Armies of engineers and doctors without freedoms to invest and change employers produces zero.

There is a marked difference between Israel and its adjacent states. You have a Capitalist democracy, with an independent judiciary based in civil law, with guaranteed rights and respect for private property vs less free totalitarian states with more corruption.

A society that fails to educate women is starting from a handicap. The talents of women are essential to a modern economy.

It takes no skill to raise a gun and say death to whatever. You are not a hero when you slaughter in hate. It takes a greater person to build an economy and peace. It is time the Arabs accepted Israel is not going away and end this madness.

Of course having bug eyed zealots (Marxists) rationalize the most extreeme depraved acts of criminal violence and claims has not helped peace or Arab refugees.

And the sick keep coming back for more

The deranged lunatic from Chicago has called threatening to report me to google. These are the relevant facts.

1) This deranged nut did knowingly pass on my identity to a sick anti-Semitic blogger from the UK. I had a series of threats to my family which I do not find amusing.

2) Mr. Divinsky was very aware of the threats to my family and the blog made by a person his friend contacted that depicts me as a pedophile.

3) Being that my privacy was invaded deliberately and maliciously by this moron he is crying because I returned his favor. Sorry but as you can not undue the threats to my family the posts will remain as is. I encourage the folks at google to contact me directly for a series of witnesses that will verify every word.

Word to the wise extortion only works when your victim has fear. You played your trump card and it was stupid and unforgivable. You were asked to walk away multiple times and never return. Having had my family threatened and having a blog call me a pedophile based upon your treachery you get zero sympathy here.

You made your bed. Kindly lie in it. Sometimes in life you have to live with your actions. Your stupidity caused my family to be threatened. In turn I described you accurately and you are crying.
When you blackmail people don't expect forgiveness and don't blame Myers. Freedomnow and others told him to stop but he swore you said you don't care.

Cry me a river.

The Correct Way to Remember Munich

In the 1970's your friendly neighborhood death cultists Marxists trained a bunch of criminals. In many cases the criminals would stage war crimes for cameras to raise brand awareness of a recently coined ethnicity. Judenfrei land had an obvious odious linneage and didn't play well with traditional far left Jooo haters. Thus came the birth of the religion of Palestinianism.

Rather than have responsible existing governments negotiate land deals the war was pushed on by competing unaccountable factions with plausible deniability. The aim of judenfrei real estate never changed just the marketing strategy.

Of course none of the discussion of terrorism get around to looking at the role of the far left.

Apologies to Paul Harvey now you know the rest of the story.

American Jews being exploited by the GOP? Say What

The incredibly dense Nancy Pelosi has not deduced how arrogant her comments are. The Jewish vote is not a monolith and those that practice the actual religion as opposed to a fake touchy feely variation
tend to vote more conservatively. Thus your guys at Chabad are more apt to vote for the GOP than the Rabbi "Snagglepuss  Lerner or Arthur Waksow.

Jews like the rest of the population are impacted by the economy. If you have family that is looking for work and given up hope your religion does not matter. If you walk past main street and see business after business boarded up your religion doesn't matter. The corner pizzeria that I went to for thirty years is gone. My usual Chinese place is gone. My dry cleaner is here for now and the little grocer struggles. These are parts of my weekly life. Now a certain argument is small businesses rise and fall. However, seeing store after store boarded up and wondering what happened to the lovely waitress who brought me me Mongolian Beef takes a toll. It is as if a bomb has torn the edges of the fabric of my community. The bomb is the Obama economy where everyone other than the clowns in the faculty lounges of higher ed have to tighten their belt.

All of us know people who have lost their jobs and have given up. Some of these people are family and close friends. They are shells of their former selves. Those of us who remain are working live zombified slaves and all types of abuse and bullying are the norm. Those of us who remain tolerate this abuse because saying a peep would end our careers and we would join the ranks of the unemployed.  The level of abuse would frighten and shock even the most jaded minds. In a normal economy people would get up and leave, but where to Obama in an economy with no jobs and no hope.

We go onto Israel which trails the economy in the minds of most. The claim that Obama is more pro-Israel than any member of the GOP not named Ron Paul is hysterical. Romney as an unknown is not burdened by supporting the antisemitic OWS, Romney did not sit in an antisemitic racist church for two decades. Have you even read the statements of Obama buddy Bill Ayers on Israel. Sorry, but Obama has made zero demands on Arabs while holding Israel to the fire.

Ultimately in the words of Bill Clintoooon

" ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID"

I don't want stupid social programs. I want jobs that can support a family. I don't care about green Eden, I want jobs.

Obama kept his change promise by making everything worse. Our only hope is that he loses.

Before Reading Unorthodox

The left has a history of foisting fraud and passing it on as fact.  The most celebrated fraud I Rigoberta is still is used in Universities despite being proven false more than a decade ago.  The Obama bio is chock full of exaggerations such as composite girlfriends.

The Satmar are easy to hate. Most Jews support the State of Israel the exceptions are Communists/Anarchists and their useless idiot allies the Satmar. Many people hate hasidic people because of their odd dress and at times condescending arrogance towards more secular types. In their effort to remain insular rumors and small exaggerations are rife.

Deborah Feldman is a serial liar and is no heroine. The Satmar with rare exceptions are not criminal . There have been serious issues with sexual abuse in many communities including many Christian ones. The media goes on a crusade when religious organizations are involved but summons no similar outrage when unionized educators commit similar acts.

Unlike those who leave Islam it is highly unlikely anyone will ever threaten her. In most instances members of the community will likely shun her. Given her mental problems and propensity for playing games with the truth avoidance of this dimwit is a true blessing. Any comparison between this mental defective and people fleeing Islam is misguided. When was the last time the folks at the View spoke with someone who wrote a similar book about leaving Islam and faced genuine threats?

Her true gift is to make a truly loathsome community seem sympathetic after her serial lies. I still can't stand the Satmar and make it a point to avoid them as much as possible. They are well aware that their idiotic Rabbi's political views have made them pariahs in the larger community. A few have said in private that they disagree with these positions.

I do enjoy my meetings with the Lubavitchers. They are well loved within the community for their charitable works. Unlike missionaries they do not seek converts. Rather they seek to get those who are Jews to be more Jewish. With great charm and zeal they engage secularists like myself who prefer to just live as the person in the next cube. The other orders are not held in contempt by the general public. Mostly they go about their business and enjoy cordial relations with other members of the community.

The clueless leaders of the Satmar have yet to deduce that their bonehead political views damage their reputation more than idiotic books authored by mental patients and irresponsibly published without basic fact checking.

Bettter for business to stay out of politics

There are those that complain about Chick Fil A's corporate policies and positions. If you don't like the policies don't go there. Many companies on the left make their policies known. I will not touch Ben and Jerry's even when it is offered for free. I prefer to get my ice cream from a rational company run by adults. This was a running gag in VT where I would not touch the stuff and bought Hagen Daz.



I remember when I was younger being subjected to dreadful Benetton Ads showing President Reagan with Aids sores. After seeing those ads I never set foot in one again. I will not give the niece a GAP gift certificate. Instead I will go out of my way to make sure the gift certificate is from some retailer with more traditional ads like Macys.


I used to shop at Men's Wearhouse about six times a year mostly for shirts and one or two suits. As they appear to have supported Occupy Wall Street I will never shop there again. All their good work and great products and customer loyalty is ruined by a really bad decision. Were they even thinking about their loyal customers feelings? A place that sells quality men's clothing should grasp that even appearing aligned with OWS is bad for business. Now this may indeed be a case of a rouge employee, but this should have dealt with long ago.

I have never set foot in a Chick Fil A's. However, I intend to do so in the near future. There are plenty of businesses that hurt their bottom line by catering to the barking mad moonbats.  I have supported Civil Unions for a long time and in truth gay marriage is not even near the top my thoughts the economy is up there. I am annoyed by shrieking ads as a rather needless intrusion into political activism.

Do I know the political views of the small store I buy my clothing from? No. I do know and that is my business. I will not be returning to a store I went to for years because of a poor decision. In the end it may be that an employees choice to place a sign has caused me to take my business elsewhere. This employee has seriously hurt the brand and it would take multiple advertisements to undo the damage.
