In the course of my life, I’ve met quite a number of actors and other celebrities. The most gracious, kind, and genuine of all of them I’ve ever met is Mandy Patinkin. His family was no different.
It is a shame that he sees Ted Cruz that way.
The worst part is that Patinkin is a conservative Jew. He should be prostrating himself in front of Sen Cruz for what he has said and what he will do to protect Israel.
I know many,many Jews and I have never, ever met one that was not self loathing. Sometimes it takes a period of time but they always betray themseves
Do you think he has the depth to ask himself what really is the compassionate way to deal with a world where what poses as a religion wishes to kill or enslave anyone who doesn’t belong to that religion - and considers lying perfectly fine if it furthers that goal?
See, I think a lot of people have warm hearts but mushy brains, and the media feeds the mush.
For instance, is it compassionate to let Mexicans who want to escape the druglords come here illegally, when we also leave the door wide open for the druglords to come here right after them? And along with them they can bring whatever terrorists they want? Is that compassionate to the Mexicans in reality, and is it compassionate to the families here who now have druglords to deal with too?
Those are the hard questions that need to be asked, and the media just gets in the way.
