Interesting comment:
"Eric why d...Osirassun,<br /><br />Interesting comment:<br /><br />"Eric why don't you get to know the person before you tell untruths[?]":<br /><br />I used Rabbi Shifren's own words to define him. If you'll reread the article you'll find that all of the statements attributed to the Rabbi are in quotes.<br /><br />"When I read your malicious comments about the republican party I know you must be out of your mind because you are trying to generalize the hole party for what a few prominent people may do."<br /><br />When I speak of the Republican Party, I distinguish it from conservatives as a whole. There are many conservatives who are great people. I have many friends who are conservatives, but they've distanced themselves from the GOP, because anyone who can continue support Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, and Newt Gingrich are not true conservatives - they're Republican wingnuts.<br /><br />"Why would you try to tear down a party that stands for Family values?"<br /><br />Because they don't. If they did they would give priority to the healthcare of American families instead of protecting the profits of the insurance industry. <br /><br />"Tradition."<br /><br />Because it was American tradition to force Black war heroes (the Tuskegee Airmen) to give up their seats on the train to Nazi prisoners of war. And it was American tradition to lynch Black teenagers while good Christian people brought picnic baskets and stood around and watched. <br /><br /><br />"Less taxation." <br /><br />Less taxation for who? The poor and middle class pay the entire freight every time a corporate bigwig buys a jet or takes his girlfriend to lunch.<br /><br />"Smaller government."<br /><br />Because they want government just small enough to prevent them from robbing us blind.<br /><br /><br />"Protection of the unborn."<br /><br />Because they don't care about the unborn. If they did they'd want to make sure the mother had affordable insurance. And if they really cared about the family, they wouldn't fight every measure put forth to feed poor children AFTER they are born.<br /><br /><br />"Liberty.":<br /><br />What liberty? Certainly you're not talking about a person's liberty to decide who they should be able to love and marry.<br /><br /><br /> "And the first party to oppose slavery."<br /><br />This is not the same Republican party who fought against slavery. Todays Republican party is filled with Dixicrats, corportists, and every manner of wingnuts. If the Civil war was being fought today, today's Republican party would be the Confedreracy. <br /><br />You also indicated, "our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the bible". Noah Webster<br /><br />That's the problem - many Republicans are stuck on stupid. They think that their belief system has been anointed by God, so anyone who disagrees with them are evil. Thus, if you'd been born in Afghanistan, you'd be the Taliban.<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br />Eric L.

Rabbi Shifren is a better man then you right off. Why is that? because he does not have to go around telling untruths.<br /><br />When I read your malicious comments about the republican party I know you must be out of your mind because you are trying to generalize the hole party for what a few prominent people may do.<br /><br />Why would you try to tear down a party that stands for <br />family values, <br />tradition, less taxation, smaller government, protection of the unborn,liberty, and the first party to oppose slavery.<br /><br />"our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the bible".
