you can consider it any way you like. But, if you don't mind, I will use the same definition that I have used all my life. Whether people consider him 1/2 Jewish or not, I couldn't care less. From a religious perspective, which is my perspective, he isn't. So if you want to erroneously refer to him as Jewish, knock yourself out. You may as well refer to him as 1/2 bovine, because it is equally untrue. But far be it from this Orthodox Jew to get in the way of your definition of Jewish.

Now don't get touchy. You know that the way I speak of whether someone is of "Jewish heritage" if that makes you happier, is the way most non-Jewish people look at it. I'm not at all alone in this. Lots of company. I think you want to see this negatively regardless, which I can't do anything about. What you can't deny is that Wesley Clark's biological father was Jewish.
Good evening; just checking in with my friends, sofaman.
I see you are being lectured which is a shame because thus far we've all gotten along on this thread so well.
Hopefully the lecture, which is quite unnecessary, will stop.
Your friend, Otis.
