No one has identified the address where that video took place. If that were a drug house full of illegal aliens, I would be cheering.

I think the topic is an important one to discuss. We need to have parameters on this. I can also tell you that I have a friend in Watertown who was within the area of interest. She was inside posting pictures on Facebook during that time.

There were cops who saw her through the window. They motioned towards the garage and pointed to her. She gave them the thumbs up. With their weapons at the ready, they entered her detached garage. They came out, motioned again to her that she was safe and then went to the back door. She came to the door, thanked them and told them that she and her son were quite safe inside.

She was terrified of the guy on the loose and was grateful for the professionalism of law enforcement. These cops were guys who live in the community. Doesn’t mean that it will be this way every other time some city tries to do this, but from eye witness commentary from reliable people, I do not think there was a problem in Watertown. They were NOT pulling people out of their homes by gun point. There was video of cops with young children in their arms running them out of the line of fire.

There is a lot of unconstitutional crap going on around us, but this wasn’t part of that. It does highlight the importance of community police departments rather than a federal force.

You mean Gomez the navy seal who donated to Obama? Really??

Wait a sec, are we for school choice/vouchers or aren’t we?

Democrats are only over sampled by 8%. That isn’t reflective of the Jewish population unfortunately. I do think that an historic number of Jews will vote Romney though.

My mom was there. Parked herself right in front. She said he was on fire!

This new law waspassed by Democrat house and senate and signed by a Democrat governor. I don’t like Romney care, but this law was NOT part of it.

Of course this is part of “nose under the tent” and all that jazz, and of course gov’t destroys what it touches, but all I did was to state the fact that this particular piece of legislation was NOT part of the original bill, nor were a bunch of other mandates enacted since, like prescription medication. I’ll kick Romney for what he did, but he shouldn’t bear the burden of Deval’s bills as well.

No fan of Romney care, but this is a brand new law passed by a Democrat state house and state senate, and signed by a Democrat governor. This was NOT part of the health care bill that Romney signed.

A friend told me there was a large one.... in SAN FRAN!!

New England!! Bite your tongue. It’s in NY!!

New England!! Bite your tongue. It’s in NY!!

Just like with McCain I will vote for him, dontae money to him and hold a sign for him. I will also work at the grass roots level to help elect conservatives and I will voice tea party values every chance I get. I love my country too much to do otherwise.

Any Rochester area freepers? I will be in the Rochester area in a few weeks. I might need to stop at the grocery store.... I am a kosher-keeping Jew, but I would be happy to buy some alcohol.

Sorry- your post made it look otherwise.

“blk people always act like wild and out of control animals out in public?

These particular people were acting like animals indeed, but does Allen West? Do all the black tea-partiers? do my black neighbors, eh no. don’t be stupid.

My experience is limited to those from the eastern bloc and former USSR, but these folks are working their butts off and behaving as ideal immigrants. They are extremely conservative in their politics. Russian Jews are pulling the Jewish political discourse to the right and russian-Jewish associations are pulling against the established Jewish institutions.

Former cardiac surgeons, professors, pianists were working as house cleaners, busboys and delivery truck drivers. They are an inspiring group in a very traditional American sense. I remember the tears of a family when they were able to buy their first home. “not even high up party officials owned land, but I just bought my own DIRT, and now I am an American with private property!”. I couldn’t help but cry.

Yes I know,- not a typical path for all refuge groups coming here, inspiring nevertheless.

I happen to think a non-interventionist position would be preferable to Obama’s position, but I think RP’s position comes from a “not good” place. Besides, on a political level, and with the POV of a patriotic American, I do think we should have close allies with countries with similar values and national goals. I know lots of conservative Jews, but have yet to meet a Jew who supports Ron Paul.

I am a Jewish Republican and also a member of this organization. There are some views so outside the parameters of acceptability, that they have no place within the “walls” of the RJC. It is a darn shame that he is doing as well as he is in the party. The Democrat party is where the anti-semites belong, not the Republican party.

Ron Paul has the right to speak his views, but that doesn’t obligate any private organization to pay for his microphone.

yes indeed. It is more than just allowing Muslims to eat it. It funds notoriously unreliable and terror-related charities.

Kosher does not “just mean meat”. Though it is not prayed over, it is slaughtered in a particular way. It is also de-feathered differently (and not very well). It is soaked to remove the blood and acts much like brining. I have a kosher kitchen and therefore purchase only kosher products. One of the problems with halal is that it requires giving a particular % of profits to (Islamic) charity, it is done in Allah’s name, AND shar’iah law is immoral.

Early Christianity was initially a branch of Judaism and they didn’t see themselves as a separate religion. Of course it is a distinct religion and that happened when, in order to be a Christian, you didn’t have to be a Jew. When that occurred, they were no longer branches of the same religion. In Jewish thought, “messiah” does not mean God. There was a different understanding of it at the time, and were in fact many people who were thought to perhaps be the messiah.

yes- I thought it odd and not relevant to say where she went to school and where she volunteers. It detracts from the hideousness of the act of those two “good boys”

Romneycare was bad enough as it started out. Deval added mandatory drug coverage which increased the cost about 30%.

You are a pathetically confused person. I don’t whine.

You’re right, I haven’t been following your commentary. Gee what a surprise. You poor dear.

Rather an incoherent reply, but if you are such a vigorous tax payer, then by your standards, you are much richer, and thereby more evil than me.

Stop whining about paying one’s own way, to someone who pays well more than her “fair share”.

Nope, sorry, you lose. Simple statement of the fact that we pay our own way, always. I have never gone around with my hand out, at any point in my life.

Don’t forget the freepathon you free loader, or do you expect me to pay for that too?

and another thing sweetie, did you participate in the Freep-athon? I have been making monthly donations for years. Hope you don’t expect other people to pay for you.

Did I play the victim card? uhm no. I don’t take back talk from leftists or idiots. You seem to be both. BTW, my household pays a hell of a lot of taxes. I take nothing from anyone. Are you living off of tax payer largess?

I pay well more than my fair share. You want a story line of someone “rich” (whatever that exactly means), so you are willing to pretend I said something that I didn’t.

It appears you are the one expecting someone else to pay your way. I never asked you or any one else to feel sorry for me. However, I do pity your petty anger and obvious feelings of inadequacy. I am tired of paying higher taxes for parasites.

The idiocy of preferentially admitting homosexual students aside, the majority of families sending their kids to these over priced schools receive financial aid from the school’s private sources, not gov’t assistance. Many also take loans, which might be stupid for some of them if they major in things like gender studies. Then there are those of us you just insulted- people whose income puts them out of range of any of the financial aid packages. We’re the same ones who pay well over 40% of our income in taxes when you add in state to federal.

You sound like one of those marxist protesters who thinks that everyone who works their tail off and paid for their own education has taken something from someone else? Are you coveting that which someone else has?

Don’t play class warfare games. Leave that to the leftists and their leader Obama.

The have a Facebook page and could use some “likes” and support from us.

If they were part of a planned disruption of an event to prevent the exercise of the speaker’s freedom of speech, then of course. There are lots of places they could have spewed their lies. They chose to impinge on others and disrupt an event instead. I would also expect AIDS activists who come into churches to disrupt services? arrest them. Groups of conservatives who show up at an enviro-weenie meeting to cause mayhem, arrest them. There is a time and place.

There are statutes against disorderly conduct. They would be arrested if they started a rant in the courtroom. They were violating the free speech rights of the invited guest. They could have made their filthy protest outside. Do these dirtbags get to shout down any speaker who doesn’t agree with their lunacy? Free speech doesn’t mean that you have to force other people to listen to you.

It wouldn’t matter if she sat in front of the camera and read the constitution- once again- I was commenting on going on trash TV. No I did not call Palin a clown, but the frivolous behavior of her family is starting to reflect back on her. Mom following around a dance show is also not serious behavior. Now, if what she aspires to do (and she does this very well) is be an advocate and spokesperson for conservatism, then all that stuff is not relevant.

You don’t even try to mask your rudeness. You have not yet displayed an ability to communicate without that particular trait. Not sure I understand why you thought it necessary to have such a nasty tone. It really is a shame.

Any logical reason for your rudeness? I was stating my opinion on what is appropriate behavior for a potential future president of the US. Going on TV shows like this to talk about this kind of topic is low class. Notice I didn’t call you any names, nor did I call Bristol or Sarah any names. You are acting like a Democrat- getting all emotionally worked up instead of having an adult conversation- just like the libs on welfare TV.

If the Sarah Palin will be running for prez, Bristol needs to be reined in, and stop flapping her gums and going on these ridiculous television shows. I want a serious president, not some pop culture clown with a poorly behaved family. I call this welfare recipient TV.

I don’t agree that Romney would be essentially equivalent to Obama. Anyone who doesn’t fight to get that trash out of the white house has a hand in this country’s destruction.

George Bush was not a good conservative either. Even with his list of faults he was much better than Obama. We are in a different position now to keep GOP feet to the fire- like we should have done with Bush. We did not throw up our hands and abandon this country to Gore and Kerry.

Romney is certainly not the America-hating socialist that obama is. He absolutely is wishy-washy. Romeny care is moronic and he deserves a kick in the pants for this global warming idiocy. What I am saying is that we may have a choice between Romney and Obama and it is un-patriotic and irresponsible to vote in a way that puts Hussein back in office. For all his RINO-ness, McCain would have obviously been a better pres than this clown.

Romney is not my guy. But he may be the guy who ultimately runs against Obama. What then? Hurt our country, perhaps beyond the point of recovery by re-electing Obama? I think not. McCain was not my guy either, but he still would have been better than Obama!

Was Palin a sell-out by running with McCain? I don’t think Bachman would be selling out either. There is NO PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR US. We will have a choice between TWO people and one of them will be Obama.

If the IDF allows them to break through, they could help clear the minefields in the Golan /s

So according to you it is equally bad to give money to our friends as to our enemies. The terrorist PA is equally undeserving as our ally in the middle east, Israel. That makes no sense, unless of course you have an additional problem with Israel.

aid to Israel is formulated based on monies going to the neighboring hostile-to-America-and-freedom, Moslim barbarians. Once huge dollars, handed over to America’s enemies is ended, particularly to the palestinians, THEN we can have the conversation about Israel. We might get bummed out about losing a good customer for military equipment however. There are hundreds of billions of dollars which need to be cut off before we can talk about our friends the Israelis.

The Russian community where I live works extremely hard and they are voting Republican in droves. I have met them holding signs for conservatives on election day and joining Republican organizations. Yes, they are proud citizens. One man told me that he knows communism and its American name is Obama. You must be seeing a very different group than I am.

If you think it is wrong for “mere men” to decide who is a Jew, I will point out to you that is exactly what you are trying to do.

Doesn’t matter if you like it or agree with it, Jewish laws says that Christians/messianics are not Jews. The end.

Some don’t like to concept of matrilineal descent. It is painful. There are ways around it, called conversion.

Not all Jews observe the law properly or at all. That is not relevant because we are obligated to do so. That human beings do not always do what we are obligated to do is obvious.

You think that Jesus came to fulfill the law. That’s your religion and your saying it doesn’t make it so.

Why do you feel the need to be so pushy about your set of truths?

Perhaps what Jews “fear” the most from evangelicals is that they will write extraordinarily long emails based only partly in Biblical reality and the rest in translation which bears little similarity to the original Hebrew. Then they define the terms in a Christian context and say “don’t you see?” WHen will you accpet”- as if they know the one and only legitimate path to the divine.

Don’t try to parse Biblical test unless you are doing it in Hebrew. Every translator is a liar.

You know there is nothing about a virgin birth in the Bible, right?.....

I indicated this in a previous post. Though I can’t what year- It was when Christianity started converting pagans to Christianity. THey no longer were Jews entering the fold. Once that happened and they rejected the obligation of Jewish law, they were done.

I know, guys like this stick out like sore thumbs. People point to guys like this and say, “see I told you so”, when in reality this kind of attitude is not normative. Makes our job harder though.
