As the Freierdiker Rebbe said
July 4, 2023 11:52 am

“America is nisht anderisht.” The only thing left is to continue His work here today by making a dera betachtonim that Hashem and our Rebbeim would be proud of!

The greatest country. its a shame how this hateful dem party is trying to destroy it. through the history of the usa , they have tried their best to destroy it and take away rights. they were for slavery, they didn’t want woman and blacks to vote. when they couldn’t get their way, they formed the KKK , and then recently the terrorist groups of BLM & Antifa . they want to destroy Israel also, but America will survive and come out stronger. G-D willing our great President Trump will be reinstated from the stealing of last elections and will… Read more »

Simple question

Why is it that the South used to be democrat when the dems were a racist and chauvinistic party, but now they became Republicans?…
Any thoughts?…

Because…

…the South isn’t racist and chauvinist anymore?

Or...
Reply to  Because…
July 5, 2023 8:33 pm

…Because the two parties swapped agendas in the 60s, with the Republicans becoming conservative and the Democrats becoming liberal.

Thus, it’s ridiculous to call the dems the racist party for their behavior before the 60s, because those dems are the same people who are today’s Republicans.

Or rather…

…consider that it took until the 1990s for the South to start turning Republican in large numbers. Hence little or nothing to do with your fictions about “swapping agendas,” which is simply a way for Democrats to attempt to absolve themselves of their racist past and present.

Yes, 100% Agreed

  1. A compassionate immigration policy
  2. Shared sense of community and purpose
  3. Religious freedom
  4. Beautiful nature
  5. Guiding the world in liberal democracy and its ways
  6. Leading the world in scientific and technological progress

And much, much more.

The commenter may be wrong about saying its all in Hashem’s hands, but he might be right. This is a complicated sugya. How to interpret לב מלכים ביד השם, etc.

But why is this liberalism? Because he wrote that the country is controlled by Hashem instead of the liberal president?

Now liberals are the radical believers in Hashem?

did the dumb sleepy Joe Biden destroy the holy land?
I thought he isn’t capable of doing anything?

Maybe you’ll tell me that Eretz Yisroel can’t survive without a US president actively supporting it. Sounds very chassidish.

Yeah – you could always look to the negative and complain, no country is perfect. But I know I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! BezH soon in Eretz Yisrael! But in galus, USA is great!
Gd bless America!!

What I like most about America is:
July 4, 2023 1:37 pm

Its ability to swing back – with the help of God – from the ‘precipice of the abyss’ back to being a ‘shining city on the Hill’. This tremendous ability is unique to the USA because the 1st amendment gives us a VOICE and the 2nd amendment gives us the ABILITY to PROTECT our VOICE. Hashem runs this world! As Jews, Our job is to go through the motions and ‘vote’ and Hashem’s job is decide how much election fraud will transpire – i.e. ultimately Hashem decides who’s achorayim gets to warm the chair in the Oval Office. Hence, we… Read more »

I’m most grateful for those in this country who have truly stood up in support of democracy and freedom. Thank you Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, AOC among many others. Thank you to all the police officers who defended our democracy from terrorists on January 6th. Thank you to BLM for bettering our communities, bringing much needed awareness and change, and standing up for racial justice. Thank you to the countless women who support and defend female bodily autonomy and women’s rights. Thank you to global activists who are fighting for climate change awareness so… Read more »

“Democracy and freedom” – by demonizing anyone who doesn’t go along with their ideas. “Terrorists on January 6” – who weren’t even armed, and where the only one killed was by a Capitol officer. “BLM bettering communities” – by burning them down. “Female bodily autonomy” – tell that to the females who don’t get to be born “Climate change awareness” – yes, we are well aware of all the lying and grifting involved. “Vaccines that have saved countless lives” – and don’t forget the Covid “vaccines” that didn’t save anyone, and in the contrary have killed. “Who perform surgery” on… Read more »

July 5, 2023 10:10 am

What’s great about this country is that the the Rebbe and his father in-law chose the USA to be their home and base to re-build the jewish world after World War II. The Rebbe changed the world and continues to do so There is NO stronger network for jews like Chabad especially for travelers and general souls searching a warm jewish home anywhere in the world I believe this is what the Rebbe meant when he said “America is nisht andersh ” It is from America that the Rebbe chose to lead his life to fulfill his Father in laws… Read more »

Look in Likutei Sichos Aleph, Parshas Shemos and the Rebbe is clear that the west is Mitzrayim today. Yes, we praise the good. Three times a day we are enjoined to pray – heartfelt – to leave all countries of Edom and Malchus Edom and go to a land with Moshiach. We are not supposed to pray, “oh, here in the land of assimilation is nice but Moshiach would be better.” We’re supposed to pray, heartfelt, that our souls come out and that our run after a megushamdiker life is left behind. Trump was better than the left. This love… Read more »

Why does it seem like many chassidim are lacking clarity? Chassidim! Let’s get back into focus! Dive into Torah, into chassidus and change your reality to leave your own ruchniyusdike golus, thereby bringing the leaving of golus at large to the geulah huamitis vehashleima, right now!!!

Hey, “Grateful”, thank you for compiling this list. You’ve managed to compile an amazing collection of warped “wisdom” in one fell swoop. From my part, I love and appreciate this country more than you and your ilk ever will. G-d bless the America that I grew up in; the country founded on freedoms that people like you, “Grateful” seek to destroy. Sure, America never was and isn’t now the peak of perfection There were and continue to be many things happening in this country, especially in government, that needed/need to be improved, but perfection will only come with be’at Ha’Mashiach… Read more »
