Riveting Torah Portions

Luke Ford writes:

In his 2009 lecture on Leviticus 21, Dennis said: “There are more riveting chapters of the Torah. And there are less riveting ones.

“A dear friend of mine, one of his two sons, had a bar mitzvah. The portion of that Sabbath was not one of the more scintillating ones in the Torah. He asked me if I would speak on the Torah.

“It happens to be that while he is not Orthodox, his family is ultra-Orthodox. Black hat and beards. Very Orthodox. He’s the black sheep in the family for not being Orthodox. At least they came.

“I got up and said this is one of the less riveting portions of the Torah. And his relatives got up and left. I felt so bad for my friend. They were not prepared to hear that one might say that one portion is more riveting than the next.”

The Female Way Of Voting

Luke Ford writes:

On his radio show today, Dennis Prager says: “What does this say about many — not all — women voters? They are willing to see the country head towards bankruptcy to keep giving people money. Women want to be taken care of. They want their kids taken care of. And that’s it. It’s an emotional vote.

“Women don’t care about the economic well-being of the country as much as men do. They have a more selfish way of voting. How much more money will I and my kids get? That’s how I read it. They don’t care if the country is economically solvent. Men care more. In this instance, men are more responsible than women.”

“The question isn’t whether it is sexist. It is whether it is true. Women are more interested in government expansion and providing benefits than fiscal responsibility. Remember that woman who got up before the townhall meeting of George Bush and John Kerry in 2004 and asked, “If I vote for you, what will you do for me?”"

Female caller: “A lot of women don’t have the support of a man anymore because of the breakdown of the family.”
