“What? Every party has their big Jews on the schedule.”

Old story. Been addresse, with the conclusion that these to jerks are idiots.
I used to work with a Jewish guy who was as stereotypically frugal as you can imagine. I liked hanging with him because he really knew how to get his money’s worth, and get good stuff cheap / free. There’s nothing wrong with that Jewish stereotype - it’s actually something more of us should try to emulate. I wish I was able to be as careful with my money as he was.
Personally, I pinch pennies so much that a booger comes out of Abraham Lincoln’s nose.
I know a wealthy Jew who started with one cab and took turns with his brother driving it. They now own a Transportation company. He is one of the most generous citizens in my home town. Many of our traditions would not be possible without his sponsorship.
I thought they were cheap, not thrifty. Can’t get a damn stereotype correct, I tell ya....
My one time Jewish boss was the bellweather of investments in reverse. He recommended the stock DEC when it was at its highest, just before it went all the way down. He recommended investments in real estate just before real estate tanked. You could always count on the guy!
This Jew(boy) thinks that these whiners protesteth too much. It’s a good aphorism that others would benefit from emulating...SSZ
I know what you mean. Frankly I don’t know where this thing came from.
I know, bad habit of not checking. But I do give the spelling and punctuation police a lot of work.

Republicans are held to a higher standard than democrats. Anything a Republican says can be called racist, and broadcast in the media 24/7. Anything a democrat says, even racist, is called just a botched joke.
“What? Every party has their big Jews on the schedule.”
spell check is you re friend.
yes it is...
I grew up in a city with many Jews. As a group, they were encouraging, friendly and took education as paramount. I would never leave a Jewish home hungry either. Why they vote 80% Democrat when their values (and even their long ago home, Israel) is trashed within that party, is a mystery that I will take to my grave.
Great point.
As for the statements, I'm Jewish and wasnt the least bit offended.
Have you ever heard of the Armenians? They're the people who buy from the Jews and sell to the Scots and still make a profit!
I remember a good story about a Army lieutenant who met the unit chaplain. Noting the officer’s name on the uniform being Chinese origin, the chaplain bemoaned that when he was stationed in Taiwan, he admired how the Chinese valued education, strong family and hardwork and wished the average American was like the Chinese. The lieutenant reponded by saying that Americans do not have to be like the Chinese to have all these values, Americans need to be like the Americans of old who had Protestant work ethic, Yankee frugality and family values. In other words, American need to be REAL AMERICANS who built this nation. There is no need to look overseas for good values, all we need to do is return to those values we had in the past.
I just don’t get it. If I say someone is hard-working, intelligent, and practices sound economic common sense, wouldn’t they be flattered? Unless I’m conservative and say that about Jews.
When I grew up, my part of Indianapolis was home to most of the local Jewish community, they were my high school friends I hung out with. Great guys. I grew up next to a Catholic parochial school, most of my neighborhood friends were Catholic. (I’m your typical white suburban guy raised in the Lutheran Church). My brother married into an Italian family.
And my whole thought, all my life, has been: “So what?” Honestly, I just don’t see how people can take any of this crap seriously any more.
