ClooJew, lulei demistafina, you are soooo wrong

Concerning this post from ClooJew (who claims to be told he looks like George Clooney, ClooneyJew?):

...it is a slap in the face to this country ... to wave the flag of another.

Huh? What is that about? Yes, flying Old Glory is important, and should be a precedent in this country. But why not ALSO fly the flag of your ancestry? The rules regarding our flag state that should you also fly the flag(s) of other nations, they should be on displayed at the same height as ours. The is called respect and tolerance. Should you fly just some other countries flag? Yes, if you want to be identified as an outsider. Is it wrong? Well apparently ClooJew, lulei demistafina, believes so.

A hell of a lot more misguided, lulei demistafina, is this statement:

The Salute to Israel Parade is an exercise in intellectual dishonesty. Can someone really claim to be "supporting" Israel by marching in Central Park? Does wearing a t-shirt and carrying a banner fulfill the mitzvah of making Aliyah

Oh lordy. Not a single person I know walking in the parade is claiming to be fulfilling the mitzvah of Aliyah. Not one.

How does being in the parade "support" Israel. Well, duh. By showing the brainless po;iticians in Washington that there are a lot of people who care about Israel and that they better act in a way that these people will continue to support said politicians. You think that if there were no parades, no flags, and people just made aliyah that Washington would give a shit about Israel? Yeah, there are the lobbyists, but without public shows of support, there would be nothing.

For those of us stuck here in America for reasons real or imagined, there are many things you can do to support Israel. You can buy Israeli products. You can visit Israel. You can learn and daven for the welfare of the chayalim.

You can daven all you want. That won't get the American government to support Israel. You can buy all the Israeli products you want. That won't get the American government to support Israel. You can make aliyah, but that won't get the American government to support Israel.

Or, like me, you can get your ass out there in a parade and show, literally show, the politicians, the policy makers, and the world that you care that we, the great country whose flag you feel is so superior, support Israel.

Contrary to your "sneaking suspicion," you don't have a clue what Sharon is thinking. But he's a fool if he discounts the Jews in NY, and around this great land, and their support. Their American political support. You really think Sharon wants all American Jews to make aliyah? He has his hands full with the Russians!

Lulei demistafina, get a clue, cloo.

Is DovBear homophobic ... or closeted?

In this post, DovBear claims that if he was the "Jewish king of the world," he would possibly "get around to doing something about [homosexuality]."

Scary. Judiasm says NOTHING about homosexuality as a personal preference, it just forbids a certain sex act (as DovBear states in the same post). But, yet, in his infinite wisdon, DovBear thinks something needs to be done about homosexuality.

What would that be, DovBear? Eliminated? Celebrated? What, pray tell, would you do about homosexuality if, in fact, you were "Jewish king of the world," which, I may add, at times, you seem to believe you are.

Now, either you are a homophobe, a closeted homosexual, or just sexually repressed.

Feel free to tell us what it is you would do with those people.

Is everyone fucked up?

I've been cruising a bunch of blogs written (apparently) by Jewish women. Is it just me, or does reality and life escape the grasp of most of them? Is it L''H even if I link to their own words???

One writes "I suffer from clinical depression and anxiety ... I have been suicidal ... I am still convinced [my husband] will leave me ... I go to psychotherapy twice a week." Scary.

Another one has NO clue how to deal with a commenter who is stalking her. She just keeps baiting him and giving him reasons to push her buttons and obviously push her to the edge.

Then there are the ones that come close to losing it totally because they cannot find a mate. It is completely consuming their lives.

Others are a breath away from ultimately losing it because of self-imposed (yes, that's what I said) halacha.

If they are in Israel, maybe they need to contact Chayyei Sarah about this.

Now, a blog is a great release. But where are all the together, smart, sassy, women who have some self confidence and a grip on life? Women who go on a first date ON TIME, dressed appropriately, and not talking about their last therapy session? How about the happily married women who are confident in their marriages, believe they are good mothers, not racking their brains about halacha, just accepting it if that is their choice?

Not saying the guys are much better ...
