Home Sweet Hell

Whether you live in a Beacon Hill condominium or a single-family out in the suburbs, you’ll probably at some point find reason to get annoyed by your neighbors. There’s nothing unique about that. But the chance of getting mired in an all-out battle is so high in a condo building with only a few units that some real estate attorneys counsel clients to avoid buying into them altogether. “My advice is don’t buy one unless you don’t have other options,” says Richard Brooks, a partner in the Braintree law firm Marcus, Errico, Emmer and Brooks, which specializes in representing condo associations. “When they don’t work they can be a real nightmare. It’s almost like being in a bad marriage – you’re stuck."

How to cope when life falls short of our expectations.

Rabbi Sherre Hirsch
"I never imagined I would be single. I never thought I would get divorced. I never imagined that I wouldn't be able to have a baby or that I would lose my job. I never dreamt that I would lose all my savings and never realize the American Dream."

What happens when our dreams die? What happens when our husband leaves, our child fails, the economy collapses, our parents die?"
Can we mourn dreams like we mourn the death of a loved one? Can we expect Kübler-Ross' five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance—before we begin to dream again? Or will we stop dreaming forever? Will we become hardened and say that life is unfair, death is inevitable, and dreaming is futile?

Why is Mike Savage, who has 8 Million Listeners Being Blackballed?

"Why is it that Dr. Savage seems to be so persona non grata in the controlled conservative media?

Could it be that most of those listed above are nothing but political hacks…propaganda arms of the Republican Party…and that there are those in authority who do not appreciate how Savage so willingly undresses both sides of the political charade?"

Is Belief in Revelation Possible in the Postmodern Age?

Today we inhabit a world in which we are assaulted by mass media and connected by the Internet. In effect, virtual reality imitates reality and even supplants it at times. Whereas in the past, philosophical investigations focused on the correspondence between the world of our senses and the world as it is, today we are left wondering whether there is anything beyond our subjective sense perceptions at all.
Is there any substance behind the plethora of images that invade our consciousness and imprint themselves upon our minds? 
The unique challenge that postmodernity poses to traditional faith does not concern particular articles of faith as such – the existence of G-d or the divine origin of the Torah, for example. 
Postmodernism does not so much undermine what we believe as how we believe.

Why the Left Hates Sarah Palin

Today I read the most thorough analysis of the left and the basis for their hatred of all things Palin. I am a huge fan of Robin of Berkley on American Thinker. Read what she has to say, it is really quite chilling and we need to have Sarah's back and keep her in our prayers.

Read Ed Koch on Palin:
Palin Holds High Ground Over Harsh and Unfair Critics

"While I disagree with her and I am prepared to oppose her politically, in the spirit of longed-for civility I say, Ms. Palin you are in a certain sense an example of the American dream: You have the courage to stand up and present your vision of America to its people. Your strength and lack of fear make America stronger and are examples to be emulated by girls and boys, men and women who are themselves afraid to speak up. You provide the example that they need for self-assurance. " Read More:

In George Orwell’s novel “1984,” on a daily basis everything stops for the Two Minutes of Hate, during which those in political control flash distorted images of their political enemies on a television screen so the populace can rage against them. Obviously, this is a manipulative, dishonest propaganda tool — four words that also describe  Jon Stewart, who yesterday served up his own dishonest Eight Minutes of Hate against Sarah Palin. Sure, he does it with a smirk, but the outcome is exactly the same. Feed the rage machine, feed the rage machine, feed the rage machine…

Civility Is Over, Democrat Calls Republicans, NAZIS!!!

A Democratic congressman invoked the Holocaust and the Nazis' "big lie" strategy last night during a speech to a near-empty House chamber about Republican efforts to repeal the health care law.

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., also used the same phrase -- blood libel -- that got former Alaska governor Sarah Palin into trouble with some Jewish groups.


He thinks because he is Jewish he has the license to call others "Nazis."
It turns out 26 states are filing suit against the government, claiming that the Health Care Law as is, is unconstitutional! Are all these States, Nazis?
