In Defense of Christian Conservatives [Answer to ADL Abe Foxman]

Toward Tradition ^ | Nov. 9, 2005 | Daniel Lapin

[Salem]

Indeed!  

[PhilipFreneau]

America's Real War is a great book. In the book Rabbi Lapin lists the many ways the left is anti-God; and in doing he clears up some puzzling inconsistencies, such as why the left strongly supports killing the innocent unborn, yet strongly opposes the death penalty for even the most brutal murderers.

[Clemenza]

Bravo to Rabbi Lapin. He has a great show on Sunday nights for those of us in the Seattle area.

If it weren't for Rabbi Lapin, Michael Medved, and John Carlson, Seattle would truly be an unbearable place.

Excellent article!

Thank you. I am glad to note you see through the lies. We need tens of millions more.

Foxman is an idiot in quicksand that would slap away the hand of a Christian because of his own bias. He deserves to be in the same boat as Rev Phelps.

I read an article today about why liberals are destined to be conquered and my favorite quote was this:

"[Liberals] possess neither Christian fortitude nor even pagan ferocity"

I wonder whether Mr. Foxman will accept Rabbi Lapin's offer to debate? As an outsider, I think that it would be good for the education of all.

...very well said. Thank you!

Thankfully the Israelis are not as stupid as Mr Foxman.

"Bibi: Evangelicals are Israel's best gentile friends"

Maybe Mr Foxman would better understand who supports Jews if he lived in a place that did not have such a strong voice of friendship from Christians. If he lived in secular Europe for awhile, perhaps in Clichy-sous-Bois, the seat of many violent acts against Jews and the start of the current violence, he might then appreciate what he has. Or if he lived in Israel surrounded by enemies where almost the only friendly outside voice comes from America's Christian community.

Safely surrounded by Christians in the most tolerant country in the world he criticizes them.

[dervish]

"The supreme irony of the ADL's attack is that, believe it or not (and would that it weren't so), there are chr*stian and "conservative" forces who are not friendly to Israel or the Jewish People. Yet Foxman and every other liberal Jewish spokesman completely ignores those people and chooses to focus exclusively on the one element of chr*stendom that supports the Jewish People--the so-called "Bible-believing chr*stians" (Fundamentalist, Evangelical, and Pentecostal Protestants)."

That's not accurate of ADL or many other liberal Jewish spokesmen. I am not condoning Foxman who I think is a jerk and insulting to the Christian community, but he is not as one-sided as you portray.

"The ultra-right Roman Catholic movement, much as I share its beliefs about the Divine inspiration and inerrancy of the "old testament" (as they choose to call it) are nevertheless loaded with rabid, foaming Jew-haters"

This is absolute boloney and no better than the idiotic statements Foxman made.

There are identity Christianity groups (paleo-Nazis) like the following. I wouldn't call them politically "right" (although they describe themselves that way), though, given their half-hidden and socialist economic doctrine of distributivism, the social conditions in their communities, and so forth.

Thanks. I'll check the link, but I wouldn't call them politically right either. Nutcases are more like it. If this is what Zionist Conspirator was referring to, he/she should have said so. I took great offense at those comments and most Roman Catholics would also. Such narrow-minded comments are part of the problem - not the solution.

BTW, that is the site of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX).

[familyop]

"NOVEMBER 1, 1995
By its 25th Anniversary, the Society of Saint Pius X numbers four Bishops, over 360 priests, 50 brothers, 120 sisters and 53 oblate sisters, all living in 140 houses in 27 countries."

It doesn't say as to how many layman followers it has. It's not small, though. There are quite a few similar groups and individuals doing the same.

[sageb1]

gotcha :)
