Our friend the hungarian has been snorkling a little too much, I think. If even Avi Shafran at the Agudah can admit, after a couple of decades, that Chabad blazed the trail in caring about reaching out to as yet unaffiliated Jews, then the Happy Hungarian should find it within himself to do so as well.
Ok, I won't say this again, so read well:
France, Germany and Canada are NOT, I repeat, NOT allies of the USA. They used to be allies, about sixty years ago. They aren't anymore. So listen up you people at the AP, Reuters, etc.: Find a new term to describe the relationship. "Former allies" will do. "Backstabing dictator-cuddling amoral appeasers" will also work well.
"Allies" is as anachronistic a term to describe the French government as "Vichy" is.
Then again....
Campaign Finance Reform is the biggest crock that American politicians have come up with in several decades. How people could lie to themselves and their constituents and convince them that participating the political process by supporting political parties and paying for political advertisements is "corruption" is staggering.
How the formerly allegedly conservative president of the USA could sign a bill totally jeopardizing the intent, spirit and letter of the First Amendment, is mind-boggling.
And how the Supreme Court of the United States, including at least three Justices (sic) appointed by republican presidents,could uphold the law is miraculously evil.
Of course, all the shock would vanish if I adopted the cynical view that the whole system is comprised of a bunch of crooks. Such adoption is close to becoming a reality.
Mark Steyn, a meshumad who is otherwise quite intelligent has penned the following paragraph. I consider it to be the best defense of federalism that I have ever read. Enjoy:
