Thanks for the shout out, bud.

If you want to know what’s happening with the American Jewish community, refer to the Old Testament and look for all those references about us being a “proud stiff-necked lot.” At some point in the future, when they talk about the Jews in America, folks will slap their foreheads about who they allied themselves with and why those alliances were made.

In fact, I could easily see the American progressives being the first in line to start the pogroms.

When God says that we are His chosen people, the real question ought to be, chosen for what?

My best friend is a Conservative (religious tradition- no black hat and a yarmulke just on Shabbat) Jew whose political loyalties were always hard to pin down. From about mid-2008 onward he has increasingly seen Obama and the Left as what they are, Nazis without the tailored German army uniforms and leather trench coats.

Some are beginning to recognize who their friends are and who would just as soon reopen the camps. But for many American Jews (especially those in the larger urban centers like NYC, who have always been enamored of "progressive" pseudo-intellectualism) it will be a long, hard, and yes a "stubborn and stiff necked" road.
