Ah Freilichin Purim, ZC. Have an easy fast.
That explanation in the link is much appreciated. It squares with what I've both seen and heard before. What is the explanation for the spelling of chrstian, in small letters and lacking the first "i". Does that apply usage also to phrases such as "Merry Christmas" as well?
Thanks.
Gays aren’t the problem.
I thought I specifically said it was heterosexuals who were pushing "gay rights." Perhaps you didn't read it very carefully.
At any rate, legalizing "gay marriage" definitely puts a country in danger of the wrath of G-d. As for male homosexuality being a capital offense, that's what it is. I was referring to Halakhah, not secular law, and that can't be changed.
Thank you!
Lol! (Have I already responded to this? If so, it deserves a second “lol!” anyway.)
I’m not Jewish (I’m a Noachide), but thank you!
Interesting.
Thanks thanks.
thank you for posting this, may you have a blessed Purim and may our enemies hang out to dry, high.
It’s not individual gays that are the problem it’s the huge, wealthy, super-rich I should say, homosexual organizations, with all their lobbying power at city, state and national levels, who are lobbying and pressuring as we speak in all fifty states, with their big legal departments, their activists worming their way into every church and synagogue.
they are funded by taxpayers, by foundations and big corporations.
They are very powerful. They sued the Boy Scouts all the way to the Supreme Court, they never stop. They serve only the interests of gays and lesbians and to hell with the country. to hell with everybody else. Women and children last.
At any rate, legalizing "gay marriage" definitely puts a country in danger of the wrath of G-d. As for male homosexuality being a capital offense, that's what it is. I was referring to Halakhah, not secular law, and that can't be changed.
I read it very thoroughly, and I tried to use it to point out the mechanisms that we're all actually up against. Your examples are mine as well - you worry about "gay marriage," while I point out that marriage is religio/spiritual, and not a governmental grant. Should Jewish marraiges be subject to the approval of the State for their legitimacy? And as for executing gays, would you push for the replacement of the Constitution with Halakhah?
America is under attack, and that attack is of a very specific kind - the replacement of common law with administrative law, and the use of volatile issues in culture and religion as dividing cover stories for this unadmitted transfer of legal venue. Getting irritated with me for pointing it out doesn't change anything.
You ended your essay with: "I do know that we need to cry out to Heaven for a rescue . . . and having done that, stand up and fight back. If we do not . . . though HaShem's ultimate World Purpose cannot be defeated, we will be . . . and we will deserve to be."
Well what if God's answer doesn't require a Biblical Event? What if it just require the courage to look at what is actually being done, and how it's being done? Do firefighters ruminate on the morality of various bahaviors that can cause fires, or do they study how fires actually work, and how they can be stopped and prevented no matter what anyone believes?
LOL! May I be so presumptuous as to offer my blessing that you should be richly rewarded for your own righteousness? It seems that you can have a Happy Purim, too, since you have a rich understanding of the meaning of this special day.
Our Father is on His throne and is indeed in charge. Thank you for the powerful essay to help us frame current events in a better Light!
Blessings this Purim on you.
For Jewish people it is a matter of holy respect for God. It is a very sacred matter to them. (I’m a Catholic btw and I know this to be true.)
I just thought it was odd. I have a number of Israeli friends and had never seen that done before.
Because it’s a way of preventing the misuse of His Name or the deletion of it when it’s typed or written.
From the article..””I’ve long believed that one reason political correctness now rules with an iron hand is because we have been spineless cowards. Right now PC seems like an unstoppable, omnipotent dreadnaught. But if only one person will refuse to be silenced then it will spread””
Actually,ZC, there is much more of an agenda of political correctness than most people realize
Here is some excerpts of a spot on article from academia.org regarding PC
The Origins of Political Correctness
Bill Lind, February 5, 2000

Excerpts
It is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.
If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. It is an effort that goes back not to the 1960s and the hippies and the peace movement, but back to World War I. If we compare the basic tenets of Political Correctness with classical Marxism the parallels are very obvious.
First of all, both are totalitarian ideologies. The totalitarian nature of Political Correctness is revealed nowhere more clearly than on college campuses, many of which at this point are small ivy covered North Koreas, where the student or faculty member who dares to cross any of the lines set up by the gender feminist or the homosexual-rights activists, or the local black or Hispanic group, or any of the other sainted “victims” groups that PC revolves around, quickly find themselves in judicial trouble. Within the small legal system of the college, they face formal charges – some star-chamber proceeding – and punishment. That is a little look into the future that Political Correctness intends for the nation as a whole.
Indeed, all ideologies are totalitarian because the essence of an ideology (I would note that conservatism correctly understood is not an ideology) is to take some philosophy and say on the basis of this philosophy certain things must be true – such as the whole of the history of our culture is the history of the oppression of women. Since reality contradicts that, reality must be forbidden. It must become forbidden to acknowledge the reality of our history. People must be forced to live a lie, and since people are naturally reluctant to live a lie, they naturally use their ears and eyes to look out and say, “Wait a minute. This isn’t true. I can see it isn’t true,” the power of the state must be put behind the demand to live a lie. That is why ideology invariably creates a totalitarian state.
Second, the cultural Marxism of Political Correctness, like economic Marxism, has a single factor explanation of history. Economic Marxism says that all of history is determined by ownership of means of production. Cultural Marxism, or Political Correctness, says that all history is determined by power, by which groups defined in terms of race, sex, etc., have power over which other groups. Nothing else matters. All literature, indeed, is about that. Everything in the past is about that one thing.
Third, just as in classical economic Marxism certain groups, i.e. workers and peasants, are a priori good, and other groups, i.e., the bourgeoisie and capital owners, are evil. In the cultural Marxism of Political Correctness certain groups are good – feminist women, (only feminist women, non-feminist women are deemed not to exist) blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals. These groups are determined to be “victims,” and therefore automatically good regardless of what any of them do. Similarly, white males are determined automatically to be evil, thereby becoming the equivalent of the bourgeoisie in economic Marxism.
Fourth, both economic and cultural Marxism rely on expropriation. When the classical Marxists, the communists, took over a country like Russia, they expropriated the bourgeoisie, they took away their property. Similarly, when the cultural Marxists take over a university campus, they expropriate through things like quotas for admissions. When a white student with superior qualifications is denied admittance to a college in favor of a black or Hispanic who isn’t as well qualified, the white student is expropriated. And indeed, affirmative action, in our whole society today, is a system of expropriation. White owned companies don’t get a contract because the contract is reserved for a company owned by, say, Hispanics or women. So expropriation is a principle tool for both forms of Marxism.
And finally, both have a method of analysis that automatically gives the answers they want. For the classical Marxist, it’s Marxist economics. For the cultural Marxist, it’s deconstruction. Deconstruction essentially takes any text, removes all meaning from it and re-inserts any meaning desired. So we find, for example, that all of Shakespeare is about the suppression of women, or the Bible is really about race and gender. All of these texts simply become grist for the mill, which proves that “all history is about which groups have power over which other groups.” So the parallels are very evident between the classical Marxism that we’re familiar with in the old Soviet Union and the cultural Marxism that we see today as Political Correctness.
Great line!
And I agree with you - each person who speaks out against the propagation of evil makes an impact, if only pour encourager les autres. We can all be Breitbart, if we just steel ourselves!
A very informative post. Thank you.
