I only wish it were a two way street. The National Council of Jewish Women just sued the state of Louisiana because the new "Choose Life" license plates there advances "Christian fundamentalism."

IMO it should be a two way street. I’m OK with a Choose Live license plate, though I think if it’s offered a Choose Death plate should be offered too. That council means nothing to me. A Choose Life plate also advances my religion, you know that. And I bet that council isn’t the only one in opposition.

The Jewish ADL is opposing the teaching of "intelligent design" in classrooms.2

We’ve discussed that. I advocate it to my children. None of the ADL’s business.

I just don't get it. For a pluralistic society to work, there must be give and take. Christians are not out trying to drive Jews out of the public square, aren't taking them to court every other day. A Republican introduced the bill funding the Holocaust Museum in DC (where religious ceremonies are held). Jews could reciprocate. Or at least call off the dogs. Denounce the hate speech by people such as Randi Rhodes and these people.

I listened to RR on the web a few months ago on your advice. She’s an idiot, so what. Not the only one. We have a few in Chicago as bad or worse, though they're not Jewish. I don’t know who introduced the Holocaust Museum bill, I believe you when you say it’s a R (but I bet there were scores of other sponsers). That’s great. I’m a conservative R, but I won’t “reciprocate”. Those noahide guys are nuts, but I think the Noahides are very important

I have to give credit to evangelicals. Anyone messed with me the way they are messed with and I would not support anything they did.Lots of evangelicals may not think they’ve been messed with as much as you, some may think more, but that's not the issue they should follow their faith, none of this is about payback.

Evangelicals I know just glide along unconcerned who likes them or not. I was surprised to find out many of them don't even vote. Took me 3 years to convince one to register. Didn't know Randi Rhodes is on the net now. She is very popular in South Florida. Amazing because all she does now is bash the war. Today's rant was about how we hurt the Afghan people and they'll hate us forever. She is a Noam Chomsky in drag with a voice which makes Lynn Samuel sound like a nightengale.
