Have any of you read the book? Rabbi Jacobson is describing the Rebbe! L’havdil Glenn is taking this out of context and applying it to politics. Not ufaratza. This is a perversion of our ideas. yes, we are supposed to be a “light unto the nations”. I don’t think you can compare a political leader to someone of the caliber of the Rebbe.

too bad number 5 sees the wrong side

# 5, how can you decide on his mental ability?
Glen Beck is a G-d fearing man. He is a bright man.

Why the worship of tea partiers
