So what is your point? To disparage a group of people? I really do think that people who make it a point to do this are saying something else entirely.

I was waiting for you to pull the anti-semite card. My point is that Jews represent the Dems second most loyal constituency. There is no discernable groudswell of Jews leaving the Dem party for the Reps. They have been voting overwhelmingly for the Dems for 90 years. It has nothing to do with disparaging a group of people. It is a fact and should be accepted as such. I don't hate liberals, I just disagree with them.

But I wouldn't do that. I don't judge Christians that way. I judge each person according to his/her individual actions - not because of church affiliation. I don't disparage people because of their religious affiliation - unless they wear bomb belts.

Jews are a political force in this country in much the same way that Evangelical Christians are. AIPAC is a very effective lobbying group, which has a political agenda. It has nothing to do with religion.

Then don't identify them by religion.

The point truly is - and I see this again and again at this board - is to put the conservative Jews on the defensive.

That's not the way to welcome people to our side.
