I just cannot imagine the kinds of pressures that non-conforming Hasidim are under – regardless of sexual orientation. It reminds me a little too much of the way the most severe Old Order Amish churches treat those who don’t quite fit in. [shivers]

So why are they upset about the DADT repeal, was DADT a divine comandment?

Aside from John McCain I don’t think I’ve heard of any veterans making a big deal of it.

Most of the people crying about it the most didn’t serve, and probably have never had to work all that hard or been on the wrong end of prejudice themselves.

The Hasidim have it pretty easy. Here maybe not as much but in Israel, um, yeah. I’d LOVE to get paid just to sit around and study all day, not to mention be allowed to live where I want even if it’s where somebody else’s village used to be and the Army has to shed blood to defend me. So maybe if these Hasidim don’t like it here now that we have gays in the military…they could move to Israel?

Oh. Wait. Israel has had gays in its military for years, serving openly even.

I guess that counts these four out, eh?

Next thing you know they’ll be picketing the Jimmy Dean sausage factory complaining that gays shouldn’t allowed to eat pork.

Apparently that countdown was like 3, 2, 1… liftoff!

Sir:

I cannot call you Rabbi, for it is clear you need to learn more than other people need you to teach.

As a Jew, I always find it amazing when Jews, of ALL people, can find it in their hearts to justify a hatred/fear/superiority/ignorance towards a group of people they do not know, know nothing about, and who have done them no harm except to exist, and offend their current notions of what is proper.

In an article upon your protest of the end of DADT, one of your men said: “Only God can establish what’s wrong and what’s right. We cannot uproot his rules. The whole LGBT agenda is evil,” using the abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.

Charming.

That’s one of Hashem’s rules? Which one? Substitute “Jewish” for LGBT and you have the basic philosophy of the Third Reich, which in turn found its justification in 2000 years of official anti-Semitism.

Speaking of which, here is that lovely man, Martin Luther, on this very same subject. Section XI of the Luther’s “On the Jews and Thier Lies” contains a series of seven points, in some of which Luther calls (1) for Jewish synagogues and schools to be set on fire and razed to the ground, (2) for houses owned by Jews to be likewise razed, 3) for rabbis to be forbidden to preach, and to be executed if they do, (4) for safe conduct on the roads to be abolished for Jews, 5) for the Jewish population, whom he elsewhere refers to as “venomous, bitter worms”, to be put to work as agricultural slave labor.

Also charming.

You should be ashamed of yourself, but self-righteousness knows no shame. There is no room for it.

“Only God can establish what’s wrong and what’s right. We cannot uproot his rules,” Diamant said. “The whole LGBT agenda is evil,” using the abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Substitute “Jewish” for LGBT and you have the basic philosophy of the Third Reich…

And here is htat lovely man, Martin Luther, on this very same subject:

Charming.

The controversial Rabbi Shmuely Boteach recently wrote that anyone who doesn’t want talented and committed gay soldiers to serve in an all volunteer military, better be prepared to strap on a rifle and dodge bullets themselves.

SOMEBODY has to protect one’s country and it’s citizens.

This is definitely one of those STFU times for these protesters.

And yes I doubt many of the evangelicals in the gates would take very kindly to them. (Then again, the evangelicals might learn a thing or two about the Torah.)
