Dr Pepper,
“My issue was that not a single one of the Democratic Senators had an issue with him lying under oath and voted against removing him from office.”
The issue was that he was lying under oath about a personal relationship. They did not feel that deserved impeachment.
“By one of them, yes- the same one your party is fighting so hard to force conservatives to recognize, the Torah calls it an abomination. How anyone calling themselves a G-d fearing Yid can stand behind a party like that is beyond me.”
I will answer you like I have answered others before. Neither party is the Torah party and we are not disagreeing on the Torah. The argument is about America. America is a democratic country. (If you want to live where they punish for this kind of relationship, you can move to SA.)We are disagreeing on what a democratic country should/could do about a person in a relationship that the Torah condemns. There is also a commandment against Idol Worship. It is one of the big Three. But America was founded on freedom of religion so you would never expect either party to take a stand to make worshipping of idols illegal. Although I would be fully supportive of it.
“The Torah that I hold so dearly is also very against stealing, yet the policies (and consequences) in place in Democratic run cities seems to encourage stealing and other lawlessness kinds of behavior.”
Sorry, Democrats don’t encourage stealing or lawlessness.
FYI – Americans that vote republican are very good at stealing and lawlessness also. The jails are full of them.
“You also mentioned that Hashem tells you to care for the underprivileged. The majority of Republicans would have no issues helping out in a productive way. The system in place now just continues the cycle of poverty. The poor people- how about instead of just giving them money for an infinite amount of time- how about spending a fraction of the money for a limited amount of time and getting them the training that they need to be on their own feet?”
That is a good idea. Bring up to the next republican candidate that you vote for.
“Yes, there will be times that widows or others with physical or mental handicaps will needs to receive government assistance on a permanent basis but that should be the extreme minority.”
Agreed. But in our capitalistic society, if the government doesn’t take care of them, then nobody will.
You did not answer on how you support a party that does not care for the widows , poor, orphans, immigrants etc ..? All the social programs have been done by the democratic party.
