HaKatan: What you imply is pure Apikorsus and is Megaleh Ponim Batorah. No one should have an “ideological bias” when making Halachic decisions. That is the problem with today’s “Hashkofos”. People let it override Halachic considerations. Why can’t you even consider the possibility (which I would assume is true; otherwise people should not follow this Rav) that maybe he thinks that this isn’t a violation of Halacha? It has to be that if he thinks something is Muttar that you think is Assur that he has ideological differences which affect his understanding of Halacha? Come on. That is disgusting, not-Jewish, and destroys the validity of Torah, the Mesorah, and Halacha. Ideological considerations never should and never do influence Halacha, either Lehakel or Lehachmir. Saying either of those is complete Apikorsus.
