The US Congress is beneath your calling and it's prayed for YOU, that this message was/is received. A brief story, you may enjoy being shared; when young I was called upon to run for the US Congess in NY, by the then King Maker, the famous Bill Shea and AFTER consulting Heaven, I declined the offer to be a carpetbagger (from NJ, to NY). And have since become a Rabbi and been Bllessed Moshiach, by numerou of our great Gedoim of Blessed memory, such as; Rav Kaduri, zt''l and Rav ELiayshiv, zt''l. WHAT I received then, was it was NOT worth the investment of time and COGNITIVE effort(s), as it lacked the moral law, in its fiundation(s). Blessings, Yehoshua Yaacov.

This is not why we lost.

But I agree with you about the issues of sex and family, and your attitude is a proper one for a "social conservative". Shmuley instead of Santorum!

Perhaps 'Goische' America with its 'Goische' black president will be an inspiration for world peace. Now that's ironic!
