Thanks for the great article. It’s a topic that needs to be addressed. I’m still scratching my head as well. I’ve had many discussions with Jewish Americans and they are still supporting Obama. I didn’t understand on election day and I certainly don’t understand now. This administration is not a friend of the Jewish Community or Israel. Perhaps they are simply following the way their families voted in the past without reading or paying attention to any of the true issues. It’s a shame. Hopefully, they will learn and act before it’s too late. Now is the time to stand up and fight for what you believe to be right. As for me….I will not go quietly into the night.

What is going on this world? obama bows to Saudi king & he wants to dictate what Israel can and cannot do, he is the only Arrogant thing about America. I am not Jewish, but I am so upset that Jews in America supported this idiot. He wants Iran to have nuclear weapons, today’s speech has proven it. Iran has vowed to kill jews in Israel all of Israel should be wiped off the face of this earth, that’s what that psycho says and obama supports it. When something happens to Israel because of what obama didn’t do to Iran, Jewish Americans CANNOT complain about it. You will have brought this on yourself. I am a catholic and I support Israel defending itself in any way shape or form, they need nuclear weapons to defend themselves, Israel doesn’t go around threatening to destroy any Arab country. I am not afraid that Jews are going to fly planes into buildings in this country. I admire Jews that normally help eachother and watch eachother’s backs, but I am alarmed that 80% of Jews voted for this muslim sympathizer. He thinks muslims have the same values that everyone else does, they Don’t, no other religious people strap bombs to themselves and blow up innocent people, no other religion does this, I don’t want them near me, and I still want revenge for 9/11, I lost people I loved and I don’t trust muslims. Some may be good, but that doesn’t mean I want them near me or living in the U.S., look at what this muslim convert did the other day, he targeted and killed a man for being a U.S. Soldier and the Democrats don’t want our Military protected in the Hate Crimes Act. How can any Jew be a Democrat? I would rather have Bush protecting me and doing whatever is necessary to make sure Terrorists are stopped before they commit their heinous acts. Waterboarding is Child’s Play, I would volunteer to be waterboarded to prove it’s not TORTURE. Muslims sawed off Nick Berg’s Head with a dull knife as he screamed throughout the entire thing, then they hung his headless body from an underpass for all to see their Evil Work. They have no souls and I don’t care what was done to any Terrorist, I want real torture applied, like Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl. Terrorists were still alive after being Waterboarded, I bet Nick and Daniel would have volunteered for waterboarding too, unfortunately they weren’t treated as Human Beings and neither should Terrorists be treated as Human Beings, they do NOT Qualify as Humans to me. I am so angry about Terrorists being given any rights at all, my friends had 2 choices on 9/11 Burn Alive or Jump from the Tallest Building in the World, both choices resulted in Death and Terrorists should NEVER be given a better choice than the people on 9/11.

Could it have something to do with Jews being lawyers. The Democrat party is on the side of the lawyers who are destroying the country and the constitution. I didn’t realize this connection till the election mess of 2000 when all these lawyers came out of the woodwork for Gore. I remember thinking, lawyers make money, why would they be more in support of the Democrats. This is why. They want to keep getting rich, and they don’t care about the innocent people who are destroyed by it.

You’re assessment is dead-on. I am an American – Jew: In that Order. My country will ALWAYS come first! I am a veteran and a retired law enforcement officer. So off the bat you have to say that I don’t fit the stereo-typical American Jew – oh, and I have a bunch of tattoos.

Aside from that – my family has always voted Democrat – well, not exactly true. My grandparents voted for Nixon because their commonsense prevailed to that over McGovern.

I am the first registered Republican in my family – and when “Common Sense” prevailed through my discussion with my family, they then all became Republicans as well. My father-in law is a fledging San Fran Liberal – and…I threw him out of my house 12-years ago, and haven’t seen him since.

Why do Jews constantly vote Democrat – well I believe it’s the same Jews who felt that Hitler and his supporters were just a passing fad because other politicians told them so. Thos of us who were in the “shit” understand that Democrats, even those who are Jews, are not our friends – I believe they would have been called collaborators in the camps.

The funny thing is, the other Jews I speak with would never admit being Democrat, or voting for this imbecile in office right now – why? Because of “COMMON SENSE” – their justifications for voting for such a person, or supporting such a party that has been anti-Israel for the last 50+ years would deem them a moron in my eyes, and the they would have to deal with my verbal wrath.

Your question should be out there for ALL to see – because it is one of the more thought-provoking ones out there – unless you have no analytical thought process as Mr. United Nations has up there. He may want to discuss the 18 resolutions that the good old UN didn’t want to fully carry out against their old buddy in Iraq!

I’m not encouraging anyone to hate Obama Bullymoose. You sound a little sensitive, I didn’t mention race at all. Please don’t bring race into this: of the dozens of reasons I hate Obama, race is not one of them.

Bush ended his tenure like an idiot, yes. He spent like a Democrat. But he did not create the economic situation we are in, I’ve got plenty of articles here that cover that topic specifically. Even if you ignore the data and just get stuck on “Bush doubled the debt” you have to wonder what good is it that Obama has QUADRUPLED it?

Conservatives are not in a ‘culture identity’ war. We are in a war to save America from ridiculous spending and policies that will hurt us, our children and our grandchildren. To equate Nazi torture to what we are going through is also disingenuous. It may be rough here, but its not in the same category.

Obama supports countries and people that are out to destroy Israel. He wants to disarm Israel. How could any Jew support this man?

Why do jews support Obama? Because they support his policies. The real question would be why would white christian right wingers urge jews to hate Obama? His skin color? The fact that his mother married outside her race? The fact that he is from a big city, or the fact that he won the election because the person the christian, right wing’s previous successful candidate put the nation into such a hole that they were willing to elect someone as different as can be. An ‘Obamanation’ indeed…if you are of the ‘keep america run by the same type of people, and keep those who arent like them out’-crowd.

My guess, most jewish people recognize the cultural identity poliics on the right, and remember how it turned out for them just before WW2. They may not be the ‘minority’ in America (racially), but they have not forgotten what it is like to be one.

Agreed. And I’m not defending the tradition aspects, just trying to explain it or lend it some warped justification. Again, I don’t get it. The wake up call should have happened well before the election just by looking at the President’s associations. I hope it won’t take a mushroom cloud for the “what have we done” moment.

Hope all you want about any UN resolution being respected. The UN is a toothless debating society where rogue nations are given a platform to regurgitate hate. And quite frankly I resent having any of my tax dollars help fund it. In fact, I’d be happier paying for bulldozers to push its headquarters about 500 yards east.

More importantly, what does your history lesson have to do with CannOnBa11’s initial question? Because I am also curious to know. Why would anyone align himself with a party that cozies up to Islamic murderers that want to kill him because of his faith? That’s what makes Obama’s “let’s chat with loons” plan naive, foolish and dangerous to us and our allies.

Keep hoping. You are wasting your time.
