AS for Sdoim, on many threads here and elsewhere when hockers discuss fallen baalei tzedoko who end up in Federal Koilel, invariably one or two cynics said – they gave tzedoko – but with whose money?
When a businessman is convicted of taking someone else’s money, even if the money went to tzedoko, it results in a stay in Federal Koilel. Yet, that is exactly what the left wants to do – give tzedoko, to its own choice of deserving candidates, using other people’s money.
Lack of respect for private property and lack of freedom of choice is what Sdom was all about. In Sdom, there was one Merkoz haChessed – the one with the one size fits all bed and the macabre band of orthopadeic surgeons (trained where, I wonder) to make the person fit the bed. Anyone else who engaged in chessed was chayav misso!
Yes, that is the vision of the left. Socialist Sodom. The USSR. Union of Sodomite Socialist Republics. One size fits all, with legalized toeva and erosion of the family and community thrown into the (Hillary Clinton) machshefa’s brew.
I look out on the destruction and pollution wrought by the USSR of old and its misguided so called chessed every day. 20 years later, it has not been fixed. I also see the casualties of its health care system; disabled men and women who would have been healthy had they had the fortune to be born or treated in the free world during their youth. And that system isn’t fixed either, far from it. Obama is leading you down the same path, just not as dramatically and not as disastrously.
