The RDL Podcast with Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Ayn Rand wasn’t right on everything but she is on these 2 ideas:  “A man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions . Show me the woman he sleeps with and I will tell you his valuation of himself.”  And this one, “...money demands of you the highest virtues…men who have no courage, pride or self-esteem…who have no moral sense of their right to their money…men who apologize for being rich…”   If you could teach your children only two things, teach them how money works and how male/female relationships work. Teach them well.

Let’s consolidate Leftism, Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Progressivism, and yes, Liberalism, all under one simple but true umbrella---Secular Fundamentalism. Start off with a commitment to secularism, and your soul is automatically tugged left. Reject God and for most the alternative is government. But why Oh why do people who hate private property and despise the “rich” also loathe the traditional family. Why can’t you be a good economic leftist, loving high taxes and government redistribution but loving the concept of the family? It seems impossible. Let’s listen to discover why.

It might have been written over 150 years ago but the part of our soul to which Marx and Engels were singing is still seduced by socialism. Until we are willing to deny the State any rights to our families and to our money, we will always remain vulnerable. Under the promise of security and equality, politicians lure you into dependency. A very bad deal.

Why are those who support confiscatory rates of taxation usually the same people as those who support increased entitlement spending?  Why do opponents of the death penalty for murder also usually support abortion?  Why do those who consider Christianity to be a bigger problem than Islam want America to resemble Europe?  Why do those who think public schools are doing a great job also generally support transgenderism?  Why do those who feel America’s contribution to the world has been negative also think marriage is only one way, and not the best way, to organize society?  Are these all coincidences or is there some hidden secret force guiding it all?

In this show I describe the many ways that death has unobtrusively invaded our culture. Sometimes it is camouflaged as tolerance or political correctness. Other times such as the assisted suicide and euthanasia legalization movement it is quite blatant. Infatuation with the culture of death underlies much of how ugliness is replacing beauty, vulgarity is replacing restraint, and why C**P and S**T have become part of almost conventional communication. Every A*****E knows that. Flinging those words around is the equivalent of a Guantanamo detainee flinging a bag of his own feces at an American officer. I explain how the world REALLY works, even in these darker corners. So, remember, always choose LIFE!!

I judge religion off the behaviors of their devotees. Observe people who follow the dictates of the Torah. Those people are the ones you can look to be model citizens apart of their religion and culture.

Another island analogy describing what will happen in America, Canada, and Europe, as more and more people go onto government payroll. 77% of women expect man to pay for date. Are they gold diggers? Are they free-loaders? Are they poor? Not at all. Their reasons are not financial. They are emotional and they are valid. We explore just why it is in the best interests of both the man and the woman for him to pay for dinner. And while we’re at it, don’t date him if he doesn’t have a job.
