Good news that I am not totally alone out here in La La land. Agree about LA Times — hate that rag — they have pathetic circulation, the paper is mostly a nothing except for Sundays and even then it isn’t what it used to be by a long shot.
The Jewish people here are rabidly leftwing Obama-ites or like your in-laws, on the right. I just found an old grammar school friend on Facebook who, along with her family, are conservative. What I have found is that if the people care at all about Israel, they tend to be conservative — if they claim not to care one way or the other what happens to Israel, they are on the left.
I have specifically confronted a few Jewish leftist friends about this and they adamantly state they don’t have any interest in Israel. Fascinating, isn’t it? But FWIW, they tend to be totally disinterested, even feel disdain for, their religion.
