Agreed. I don’t buy this nonsense for one bit about jews for romney.
We’ll see on election day how many Jews actually have had enough. I bet more than half still vote for Obama.
That’s my impression as well.
And it’s not because they’re Jewish, it’s because they’re liberal (ie, worldly, servants of the prince of the air).
Liberalism is simply the political expression of humanism, which started with the lie “you will be as gods” in Genesis 3.
It’s not that liberal Jews are Jewish that they hate Christ and Christians, it’s because they are liberal.
In an ideal free enterprise world, that's the way it would work. But CBS (or whatever its corporate parent is now - Westinghouse?) been ruled for years by the maxim of "we control the message and we won't put out anything out there to the public before it's reviewed to make sure its in accordance with our political agenda." That's just their corporate culture - regardless whether it's electronic media or billboards or whatever. What I'm saying is that this is a deviation from the "usual." It either means that the "usual" is changing with the recognition that we're about to enter a new era in Washington, or that some heads will soon roll in their executive offices.
I don’t think there is any misunderstanding at all.
I see her post that same broad brush Jews-hate-Christians canard over-and-over for years, and I am hardly the only poster to have note her one-note posting.
I was happy to read the official “thank you” from Israel.
Not many countries do that.
The Saudis treated me nicer than the British, for example.
Maybe I'm missing something, but you are painting with much too broad of a brush.
Many Jews had nothing but admiration and respect for Sarah Palin, and that was amply demonstrated here on FR. Our opinion of her has not changed since then.
“A lot of my friends and neighbors do have their head up their tukhus politically but I don’t know a single one who “hates Christians”. I guess we know different people.”
I concur with you, WTC911.
B)You just mis-quoted your own post.

Help me out here...was it Jew-Central or the Vast Jewish Conspiracy or the Jewish Vatican or Jews-R-Us who led them against Palin.
“My Jewish in laws think that Obama is GOOD for Israel and the Jews......hint...ABORTION! It’s ALL they care about....and oh yeah, Republicans are Christian!”
You’re hanging out with the wrong Jews! ;-)
My daughter was a member of “Jews for Palin”. My family left our shul because the lay leader was a vocal Socialist. The local Israeli Jews only visited the shul for the High Holidays for the same reason. My rabbi is a Republican.
I attended a Baptist church with my children as part of an outreach program and we happily prayed and broke bread together. Nothing but mutual respect and friendship both ways.
There’s a great video posted right here on FR this morning about New York Orthodox Jews voting for Romney.
There are many pro-life Jews. Even Jews who’re pro-choice want it limited. (As do most pro-choice Americans. It’s only the radical Left that wants all abortions at any time.)
Blanket statements about an entire people usually don’t go over well. Especially when you have a bunch of us right here that prove the exceptions to your rule.
Not true. Jews voted majority Republican from Lincoln until the early 20th century. The shift in party allegiance corresponded to a shift in the demographic makeup of the American Jewish community, from majority German descent to majority eastern European descent, as a result of the great wave of Jewish (and other) immigration from about 1880 to 1914.
How’s the old saying go? You can choose your friends but not your family?
I guess one could argue one can choose one’s in-laws, but I don’t believe that. After all, that would require one to ignore “love” which is what makes us human, and not animals.
So I think in-laws can’t be chosen either. But changed maybe. Maybe Ann Archy should just show her in-laws this article. Might help wake them from their liberal slumber.
“I see her post that same broad brush Jews-hate-Christians canard over-and-over for years, and I am hardly the only poster to have note her one-note posting.”

Pardon me but what you just did was attribute something to me i did noy say
And you have done this before
I stated very clearly that Jews have not votef GOP since Taft whi was 50 years after Lincoln
You simply cut and pasted only a part of my reply to suit your ends
Anyone can verify the veracity
What you did is basically lying
Whether the forum permits that who knowd?
I know, I couldn’t remember how to spell the name.
“I think it’s in Genesis somewhere—is that if the Jews don’t like you you goin’ to Hell.”
More like the reverse. If you don’t like the Jews, you “goin’ to Hell” (so to speak). God speaking to Abraham: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee...”
Thank you, Jewbacca.
As for nonobservant secular liberal Jews who hate America and hate conservatives — assimilation is solving that problem. My guess is in a couple more generations we won't hear much more about the “liberal Jewish vote” because many liberal Jews won't bother to identify themselves with an ethnicity that is only 1/4 or 1/8 of their ancestry. People for whom their liberalism is more important than their Judaism don't tend to preserve their identities very well in an American culture where they can assimilate virtually without prejudice.
As for Ann Archy, I don't know what's going on with her. You've followed her more than me.
What I do know is we need to encourage people like you, not discourage you. There are lots of patriotic Jewish people who love America and the freedoms it provides, and that is not a new development. In the 1770s and 1780s, the freedoms provided to Jewish people in most American states were available virtually nowhere else in the world to Jewish people, with the possible exception of the Netherlands.
I happen to think America's support for Israel and history of encouragement of the Jewish people when other nations were organizing pogroms is a major part of the reason for America's success, due to divine favor.
But even from a secular perspective, Israel is virtually our only consistent ally in a very dangerous part of the world. What kind of idiot would throw Israel under the bus under those circumstances? As far as I can tell, only someone who doesn't know or doesn't care about the threat from Islamofascism.
We've got enough problems in the conservative world without anti-Jewish bigotry. Let's blast liberals, who deserve it, and accept help from conservatives who love America whether their name is Wilson or Weinstein.
