There is an interesting controversy in Brooklyn after the city yielded to the Hasidic community in sandblasting off bike lanes on roads. Hasidic leaders complained that they are having trouble obeying their religious law forbidding them from staring at members of the opposite sex with women biking around in shorts. Bicycle advocates have been trying to repaint the lanes.
The Hasidic community has long viewed this enclave as their special area, even though other families and artists have moved in recently. That has caused trouble with the Shomrim Patrol, a Hasidic neighborhood watch group. The Shomrim recently apprehended two cycling advocates who were repainting the lane and called the police. No charges were filed but the bikers were prevented from repainting the lane.
I find it incredible that the city would yield to such demands by a religious group to erase bike lanes. A Department of Transportation spokesman said: “We will continue to work with any community on ways we can make changes to our streets without compromising safety.” However, this is a religious-based objection to women who are not covered. Yet, reports indicate that Mayor Bloomberg wanted to appease the Hasidic community before his recently close election.
Hasidic leaders say that the cyclists endanger families and children. However, this is not the view of the city in creating these lanes and they are found in every major city. The real objection appears to be their lifestyle and the rigid religious beliefs of this sect. It is a clearly improper decision that uses city resources to enforce values of a single religious group.

Byron,
One must do something to stay entertained while everyone else is in a food induced coma. 😉 And I must rest up for round two, which doesn’t start cooking for another 3 hours. I’ve about sliced and diced all I can at this point without actually staring to cook proper. If you’re wondering what brought on the snoring here? I’m going to say two words that knowing you have worked in Louisiana will probably make you a little jealous.
Crawfish Fettucini
Old School from scratch including the pasta.
I can barely move.
I hope you are all equally miserable. 😀
Peace on earth good will toward men/trolls?
Ohhh, the plea for sanity.
Sorry! Next tactic.
Come on guys it’s Christmas Eve for CHRIST SAKE.
Can you at least wait til monday to continue your discussion?
Just don’t post in this thread, take a break already.
I don’t have to defend anything from your ridiculous crap. And butt-boy? How about you pull that micro encephalitic head of yours out of Rush’s if you can’t do any better than that at insults. It sure is fun to poke you and watch you foam at the mouth. I will stipulate that. It’s no secret. I have been known to play with my food. I’ve seen me do it. But not today.
See, this is how this works: You just want to trade insults now to keep your hate flowing because all of your arguments have been reduced to rubble like the trash they are.
When it comes to insult, I will win. This is simply not a fair fight. Any of the regulars and readers would attest to this fact. Even the Professor himself would probably stipulate that I have zero to prove in that department.
I can administer kisses as soft as spring rain or I can leave a scorched radioactive wasteland. But the choice is always mine, sport. Not yours.
I’ve done all the damage to this identity that I need to and my goal is accomplished. Unless you have some other group you’d like to spread your bigotry to and even then, the barn door has been open way too long.
See, once you start to really unravel as you have? There’s no more point in denouncing your hatred and lies now. Your hatred has been turned against you and you are a parody of yourself now – an ineffective cartoon of thuggish buffoonery, a cartoon Nazi. You have seen what Bugs used to do to them, right? So no, I won’t be defending that which needs no more defense from you. You’ve been smacked down and now you are just trying to get attention like a spoiled child kicking and screaming on the Wal-Mart floor because Momma didn’t get him the Newt Gingrich doll with the kung-fu grip.
I don’t reward that kind of behavior. No matter how much fun I would personally have.
You have nice day now. And seriously. Think about the decaf.
Well, Dumber’s been heard from.
Thaaaat’s a good butt-boy. You’re a GOOD butt-boy, aren’t you, yes you are!
Maybe next time you’ll come prepared to atually DEFEND the racist sewage oozing out of the Jew’s “holy” books instead of playing the useful idiot Jew stooge.
If you can overlook and excuse the Gentile-bashing racism of the Jews, why can you not overlook and excuse the Jew-bashing bigotry of a Gentile?
I know. Rather than answer honestly (my goodness, you might have to think for yourself) you’d rather show us how clever you are by changing the subject and making this about me.
Defend the racism of the Talmud. I DARE you.
Okay boy, FETCH!
MrB! What’s the matter son? Are you getting enough rest, old bean? Is everything okay at home? Hate, hate, hate, hate and blood spurts out your nose? Aneurysms will put a cramp in your day, ‘lil Hater! Have you considered switching to decaf? Maybe knocking a little of the processed sugar out of your diet. Add a lot of fiber while you’re at it. It’ll help that “other” thing afflicting you.
Couldn’t hurt.
Food for Thought:
As Spindell has rightly said, accusations of racism related to the Talmud have dogged the Jews for centuries.
If, as Spindell says, the catalog of racist evil in the Talmud (and Old Testament, for that matter) has simply been “taken out of context,” you’d think after all this time the “larger” context exonerating the Talmud of racist intent would be more readily available. Much in the same way others HAVE made the catalog of racist evil of the Talmud readily available.
If someone can take the time and make the effort to find evidence of racism in the Talmud “out” of context, someone else can take the time and make the effort to place the evidence in its “larger” context.
Why, we have to wonder, if, as Spindell maintains, the racism of the Jew Talmud can be explained and exonerated by a larger context, why has the Jew not bothered to
make the comparisons and a “larger context” available after “centuries” of “unfair” accusations? If a NON-Jew can take the time and make the effort to produce racist quotes “out” of context, then certainly a JEW could easily produce the SAME list “in” context, which would settle the issue once and for all. The Jew refuses to do so, even after “centuries” of complaining about it.
There is only one reason NOT to provide an exonorating larger context:
There IS no larger exonerating context.
The Talmud is blatantly, unapologetically, and undeniably anti-Gentile, and therefore RACIST. The Talumd was written BY Jews FOR Jews. Therefore, the JEW is racist.
Simple enough propostion. Maybe even Dumb and Dumber can follow the logic. But, somehow I doubt it.
“If you’re too lazy or inept or unprepared to back-up your claims, like I did by providing racist quotes from the Talmud supporting MY claims, then maybe you should shut the fuck up and not make statements you can’t substantiate.”
I’m neither lazy nor inept. However, you just can’t realize that I don’t dance to your bigoted ranting. Your technique, as I stated before is “The big Lie” and I won’t play your game. As for you to go to a certain website and obtain quotes that agree with your bigotry is the work of a lazy and unprepared person. There is no reason for me to expend effort refuting you other than to provide the truth of the matter, which I did but you so conveniently ignore. If I was dealing with a real person, with real issues, rather than a bigot like yourself, there would be some purpose in enlightening you, because you need it. As it is I’m content to get under your skin as your continued reliance on profanity and vituperation indicates is happening. Better learn to control that (out)rage or it will kill you physically.
Spindell —
“I already informed you that I wasn’t going to provide context for your quotes and explained why. Your dishonesty is such that you ignored response.”
If you’re talking about the bookshelves of material you’d have to sort through to prove your point, you’re right, I did ignore it. If you’re too lazy or inept or unprepared to back-up your claims, like I did by providing racist quotes from the Talmud supporting MY claims, then maybe you should shut the fuck up and not make statements you can’t substantiate.
Buddha:
“I know exactly who you are. Worse still, I know what you are. Name? What’s in a name? A pile of dog shit by any other name is still a pile of dog shit.”
Do you suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous trolls?
or
“Hang, cur! hang, you trollson, insolent noisemaker!”
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are Death Cults not Fertility Cults they wiped out by Genocide
Human Reproduction of the Species requires Sexual Attraction Between Men and Women It is Ordained by Nature (God?) To suppress that is Death Cult instead of Fertility Cult like killing Overpopulation of Deer
MrB,
I had already intended to more than once be upon my way as this website focuses overwhelmingly on people’s failures and shortcomings rather than the miracle and beauty of life. Spending any more time here than absolutely critical leaves me with a heavier and heavier heart. I’m simply not well-suited for such environments.
Still, I will address you before continuing on my merry way.
You have a valid point. I know what you’re referring to and yes, it’s there. It’s just not someplace people go to willingly, rather like pulling teeth. The enviromnent, culture, and religion I was raised in has it too. If you prod around a tad, you might be surprised at what else Martin Luther authored beside his more well known works.
For me, part of growing and maturing in life required that I let go of what is no longer valuable to me, and bring into my life that which is, from people and places around this wonderous world of ours.
In my opinion, you have a valid claim. It’s not limited to just the particular trail you’re on though. Whether it’s truly important to you, only you can decide. Realize you’ll find little company there because there’s no beauty there.
I’ve enjoyed our chat and the interaction I’ve had with some truly wonderful people on this site. I think you’re one of them.
Toodle-oo.

“And putting words in your opponent’s mouth (“claim victory”?) is the tactic of a self-declared expert who makes claims he can’t back up.”
A tactic you began as shown above. I already informed you that I wasn’t going to provide context for your quotes and explained why. Your dishonesty is such that you ignored response. One of the tactics the NAZI’s were famous for, which Goebbels himself bragged about was “The Big Lie.” This is basically to repeat an untruth, or half-truth often enough until it gains credence. This tactic is especially effective with your feeble-minded cohorts. I’m not playing, because you’ve got nothing to show, especially in personal knowledge. Just a pathetic man, unable to cope with the distress/anxiety of his own inner hatred and so tries to relieve it by projecting it on others. All you are worth is the short time it takes me to type this and ridicule you.
“I win!”
That’s just what Mussolini said as the rope tightened up. Not many people know that.
Saying one is a victor is a far different thing than actual victory, bdaloser.
Too bad you’ve tried that tactic before too, Jim. And you lost that time too, hate monger.
Imagine that. We don’t have to. We saw it all happen the first time. Just like we’ll see it happen again as long as you puppets dance for your masters.
Dance, bad monkeys, dance! Your master is really laying into that calliope so you better pick up the pace or it’s no banana for you! Or worse. He may give you the “special banana” for giving such a perpetually poor performance.
After all, there is a secondary market in bush meat and the guys you work for are really interested in maximizing profits.
Kinda like their hero (and your by extension) the ever efficient Reinhardt Heydrich.
$$$$$$$$$
It’s what’s for dinner.
Spindell —
And putting words in your opponent’s mouth (“claim victory”?) is the tactic of a self-declared expert who makes claims he can’t back up.
Mike, if you would simply show the larger context, for the benefit of others listening in and no doubt hanging on your every word, and demonstrate as the scholar you pretend to be how the quotes I provided are taken out of context, I’ll admit I’m wrong and, like I said, not make the same mistake again.
You have fallen into the trap of simply repeating an argument (racist quotes are “taken out of context”), and making it your own without knowing what the fuck you’re talking about.
And what possible difference could it make as to “where” I copied and pasted the quotes? If you know of a “pro”-Jewish website drawing attention to this scathing catalog of evil that DOES provide a larger context, say so. I said the Talmud was racist. You said it wasn’t. I provided racist quotes from the Talmud. You said the quotes are taken out of context. Okay, that’s certainly possible, so I asked you to prove it by showing the larger context. You haven’t because no larger context reversing the plain meaning and obvious racsism of the text exists. You know it, I know it, now everybody knows it.
It’s not necessary for me to “claim victory.” You’ve thrown in the towel. Thanks for your help in exposing MORE Jew bullshit lies.
“Okay, I confess. I’m white, Christian, and married to an Episcopalian.
And yes, you’re just too dog-gone smart for me — I am BDAMAN!
Bwahahahahahahaha!”
Whatever you are you remain a pathetic loser, who copies information from loser websites and is so filled with self loathing that the only way you can exist is to project that hatred onto others. Since Buddha has completely deconstructed your methodology, I can just sit back and laugh at the pathos that is you, despite whatever need you have to keep the truth about yourself secret, fostered by your own disgust with who you are.
Hey, guess what! Today is mixes metaphor day!
I know how easy it is to fake a digital ID. Fake name, fake mask, fake outrage. You know. Fakes. As in frauds. Like the people and policies that drive you troll-puppets in general.
I know exactly who you are. Worse still, I know what you are. Name? What’s in a name? A pile of dog shit by any other name is still a pile of dog shit.
You are the same bigot(s) that have been plaguing this blog for some time. I don’t give a damn if you are 3 people and a parrot – keep up the hatred and stupidity and I’ll continue to make you look like jackasses.
As will all the other regulars.
So the Mask Bait and Switch won’t work here. “It ain’t me!” isn’t going to work because you fail to see the relevant parts of this transaction. IP’s? E-mail addresses? Irrelevant in this case. Even if different people, which you are not based upon your content and style, you both still represent the hatred and division.
That makes you the enemy of liberty, justice and freedom. That makes you both targets. Name? What’s in a name? A hate-filled little Nazi is a . . . well, even the semi-literate usually know how the sonnet goes.
I say your identities are irrelevant in this case.
I know. I am one person now. Once upon a time, I was Legion. I could be again. Easily. Just like I could rig an ABA election if I wanted.
I can be lots of me’s. Or even invisible me’s. I could hide my identity and tracks well enough the NRO would think I was a 12 year old girl in Sumatra one minute and Washington cab driver the next. I can be a ghost in the machine should I so desire. But no, I keep one thin mask now. Because I chose to speak with one voice. The reasons why I chose this are irrelevant except for one: the Constitutional crisis had gone too far for playing games anymore.
I’m the enemy of fascism and hatred and greed and selfish myopic stupidity. I am a defender of the Constitution and the ideals of the Declaration. I fight for justice and liberty FOR ALL. I became one in part because I had found a blog where there were like minded people – from different backgrounds for sure and different (often conflicting) opinion, but good people with the same spirit and determination that evil will not be allowed to prevail no matter what mask it wears.
So don’t expect me to buy “it’s not me!” defense based on your “word” or your IP. My assessment is based on your (consistent) content and my knowledge of propaganda tactics. I read and called this play WHILE in play, sports fans. I wasn’t the only one either. It’s hard to play the “It’s not me card” when other players on the field called and read your audible in real time. Player(s)? Not hardly. Too bad your little strategery went South on you. Try it over at HuffPo. They’re amateurs enough to fall for it if you can get past their moderation (which is a joke in itself, but that’s another story).
It’s your common message and the common style of writing. Writers have voice. Bad one’s can only maintain one. I know this because in that arena? I am also Legion. Your messages of hate and intolerance and bigotry that are the rotten rose that smells the rotten rose. So what difference does the florist make? Not a damn bit.
Actually, I was going to continue the Shakespeare/gardening/sports theme, but in truth roaches are a better analogy.
I don’t care what the names of the disease spreading vermin are individually – it’s the elimination of the diseases that are important. Not which individual roach gets credit as prime infection vector, Patient Zero. You clowns, or singular clown, are in a kitchen where the lights are turned on. There’s more than one cook in here and we’re all willing to stomp out the sickness you carry. Scurry roaches scurry!
Be one person. Be a thousand.
We’ll still stomp you out.
Our cause is just – the preservation of liberty and the restoration of the Rule of Law and the Constitution. That will mean stomping out unreasoned bigotry and hatred because those are the tools the Evil in the world use to keep greater unity from forming. Tools of division. Because unity is THEIR enemy. When enough people realize what the 1% have done? They will meet the same fate as the French Royals (and King George II and the Romans and the Nazi Germans and the Fascist Italians and the Imperial Japanese and you should really be getting the historical picture by now – that whole “rules at the consent of the governed” things ISN’T a theory, jackasses, it’s math in action). No amount of money will stop it from happening once unity reaches critical mass. Here at RIL we are more unified than your lot is used to encountering. We will prevail in the long run. Why? Because we are of the greater good for the greater good, not the ego worship and venal myopia people like you represent: the 1%’s who think only for what they WANT (not need) and are willing to sacrifice THE WORLD in their pursuit of the illusion of power – an illusion the grave one day disabuses all men and women of. It’s that 1% that pulls the stings on you puppets whether they issue you a paycheck or you’re just stupid enough to swallow enough of the propaganda kool-aid. One person, two, a thousand, you are puppets for people who would fill their bank accounts with your blood just as they would ours. You are the tools of sociopaths, roach boy(s).
But don’t expect me (or others) to not stomp out the roaches simply because SOMEONE IS PURPOSEFULLY RELEASING THEM INTO THE HOUSE.
Ever see the movie “Pacific Heights”? Well, you hate-trollkind are Michael Keaton’s character.
Unfortunately, you stepped into the wrong movie. You’re trying to drive out a renter and we are fighting the forces of Sauron. We’ll trample you underfoot on our path to defend Minas Tirith. You clowns think you’re the Nazgûl.
Sorry, you’re just orcs.
But We the People are the Fellowship of this ring. And through adversity, through fear and danger and imminent threat, this Fellowship cannot be broken either.
But you orcs sure can take a beating in the process. It’s good entertainment and won’t stop us from eventually getting Cheney, er, Saruman or his boss the Saudi Royal Family/Big Oil/Theocratic Fascist set, er, Sauron.
So again. Be one orc. Be a thousand. This is the Citadel of Minas Tirith. Mankind will win this day over the forces of darkness.
