I'm one of them. I fight with my parents (in their 70's) all the time. My mother said to me this a.m. that America is her home, not Israel. And that she's anti death penalty and how Bush loved signing the bills to execute people when he was Gov. of Texas, and yada yada yada, go figure. Can't believe I"m their daughter, I'm sooo the opposite. Oh and I was told I'm not smart enough to vote, that I don't know issues and haven't been around long enough to understand politics..BTW..I'M 50!!!
I am both a Jew and a proud conservative Republican. I too am baffled by the fact that George Bush does not have 100% of the Jewish vote. The problem is that most Jews believe that the democratic party is their ally. They are unwilling to accept the fact that no President has been as friendly to Israel as George Bush and they are unwilling to admit that the left is rapidly becoming anti-Israel. That being said, I have seen an increasing number of Jews joining the right and supporting our President. In fact, Newsmax recently ran a story about the high number of Russian Jews who are favoring Bush. The Russian Jews typically place support of Israel as their top priority, and they do understand that George Bush is the best ally Israel has ever had. Also, Ed Koch has supported George Bush because he knows that to win the war on terror, (in the United States and in Israel) we need a President who will stand up to the enemies, not one who will appease them.
""I am a Christian (you know one of those Torah hijackers) and a conservative and I am committed to the preservation of a Jewish state.
Even when I am insulted.""
I completely disagree with the "hijacked the torah" reasoning. Recent surveys showed us that ove 60% of non secular Jews support Bush for President. The thing about American Jews is that even though they are identified as a religion "jews" the majority of them are secular and actually dislike religion. That's why some might have a problem with evangelicals. It has more to do with the fact that many evangelicals wear their religion on their sleeves. Secular Jews are uncomfortable around religion.
Contrast that with observant Jews who appreciate the shares morality and values with evangelicals and Christians as a whole.
Politically speaking, Jews ARE stupid... For instance Italian Jews supported Mussolini at the beginning...
You arguments about a the differences between secular and non-secular Jews is sound. The same could be said of all people who are uncomfortable with religious faith whether they be nominally Christian, Jew, Muslim, whatever.
Would you believe that I found this story on a Jewish Pro Kerry site!?!?!
They actualy thought it was a positive thing that johnkerry.com is censoring anti semitic posts.
I think its a great thing that Conservative forums don't have any anti semitic post to censor!
Wait until they find out neocon is a liberal code word for Jewish Republican.
Agreed
By the way...I do think it OK for anyone to rip into the French all they want. :)

People laugh at me when i inform them of that.
Amazing, I've seen criticism of these same people on FR but have always seen them referred to as NEOCONS, which simply identifies their philosophy. I've never seen anyone make any reference to the fact they are Jewish. Yet, the right gets labeled as haters when the real haters are on the left and their labeling of people based on religion or heritage.
Tell your Mom that as Governor of Texas, the only control he had over the death penalty would be to issue a 30 day stay and there has to be a valid reason to do so.
No Governor of Texas, whether democrat or republican can stop an execution except to issue a 30 day stay pending a new appeal.
I agree. The thing is that those Jews are fading fast. The younger generation is much more conservative then their parents. Bush actually won the Jewish vote among 18-29 year olds in 2000. This year that group is 18-34 years old. The nembers are shifting.
I email mine (older brothers and sisters) all the time about Bush & Kerry and their reply is "Oh, she thinks she's so smart now that she moved to California."
You see, they are all Democraps, bigots, racist and Jew haters. Little did they know that I knew what they were since I was quite young and couldn't wait for the day that I could move away from them.
It is much easier to love them from afar then put up with their whiny drivel everyday, even in my own home.
