So please don't lump all the Jews in this country together.

Point taken. My comment is in no way anti Jew. More like anti liberals that happen to be Jews. Nonetheless, if all I have read & observed is reasonably accurate, the majority do vote liberal. Leading me to the conclusion that their religion is somewhat (weak? transparent? Certainly secondary to political ideology).

My personal experience is anecdotal and quite limited, but my contact with politically conservative Jews has been pretty limited.

I haven't heavily researched Pamela Geller, but so far I like what I see. The truth, no holds barred.

Judaism has survived for 5,000 + years. It is not a "weak" religion (the very idea of that makes me laugh). But in order for any religion to function, children must be educated in the religion.

If you do not see the myriad of complex laws and principles of Judaism being carried out by your parents and they are not taught to you, you will go looking for spiritual or SOME kind of belief system to fill the void. If that void is filled by materialism or Communism or whatever, the Jew by virtue of being born to a Jewish mother will not be an observant Jew and will not identify with the Jewish people. Their values will be with whatever turns them on that week. If they have fallen in with liberals to replace the Jewish community they were robbed of by their non-observant parents, their values will be those of the libs. They are still Jews according to Jewish law, but they are not living a Jewish lifestyle and their views are not based on authentic Jewish values.

The "70%" of Jews who voted for Obama were certainly mostly the type of Jews I have described here, not observant Jews who know from moral values. So it's not fair at all to lump knowledgeable and practicing Jews with Jews who were robbed of their rightful education and then declare that "70% of Jews voted for Obama".
