CROSS CURRENTS ABDICATION OF RESPONSIBILITY WATCH

Still no post from the Cross about the Darfur protest taking place Sunday in their own backyard.

Labrab: And they're based in Baltimore - they should be calling on their troops to attend. More publicity for the blog, too, if they all wear Cross Currents T-shirts.

Cross Currents has T-shirts?

GodolHador: I'm also guilty.

Me too.

Nobody cares about other people on the other side of the world. Jews, blacks whatever. Maybe the Reform & Conservative types really will get Olam Habah for all their social action activity, while all the frummer yidden are all going to hell for wasting their money on esrogim and crap and not giving a damn about humanity.

Now you're talking like Amos, you shaigetz!

I also (surprise) have a beef with Yaakov Menken, I'd like to share... wait.. let me switch back to black... ok better... yesterday, on Menken's blog, some retard wrote: "The radical homosexuals are leading the charge against the religious values that used to undergird civilized society."

I politely pointed out, that Koheles himself advised against looking backwards and saying "it was better then." In point of fact, didn't the old "civilized society" tolerate slavery, ghettos, and the disenfranshisement of women? [Chart] And that's what the retard romantacizes?

Anyway, I thought that was a solid, and inoffensive point. So I took ten minutes from my busy blogging schedule and wrote it up as a comment. Did Menken publish it? Of course not.
