So that’s why in the days preceding Yom Kippur, I caught wind of pro-GZ Mosque sermons from two prominent rabbinic figures in the Reform Movement: Day wuh followink awduhs frum der Fuhrer!
The New York Post reports:
Rabbi Obama's holiday message
September 15, 2010Last week, Obama asked a conference call of about 600 rabbis to preach his Mideast peace plan from the pulpit.
He did the same thing last year, pressuring 1,000 rabbis to give campaign-style sermons promoting ObamaCare—news that broke when one rabbi tweeted the highlights of their conference call. [I posted on this year]
This year, the White House wised up. No, it didn't quit bullying the rabbis. It just made it clear: no more tweets.
And this year Obama asked the rabbis to use their "deep moral authority" to stand up for Muslims' rights—a not-so-veiled plea to promote the Ground Zero mosque in their holiday sermons.
It's worth noting that plenty of the president's allies have defended the mosque by touting the separation of church and state.
It's shameful that Obama is ignoring that counsel now.
What's worse, of course, is that some of the rabbis will probably do the president's bidding. …
Dear G0d. My people are committing suicide by mindless PC liberal ideology, and our so-called leaders are the ones leading them to the slaughter.
Again, if it had been discovered that George W. Bush had conducted conference calls with hundreds of evangelical ministers to give them their marching orders (because that’s what Obama is giving: marching orders) on what to say to their congregations at Christmas or Easter, the entire "theocracy!!!" and "separation of church and state!!!" crowd—including these hypocritical Jewish leaders!—would have been all over it.
But as I’ve been arguing for a long time, these Jewish leaders really aren’t preaching Judaism anymore. They’re preaching knee-jerk, leave-your-brains-at-the-door liberalism.
This is why I withdrew membership from a Reform synagogue two years ago and why I will never return.
