Well, organizations aside, EVERY Jewish Member of the House and Senate minus the lonely Lieberman and (maybe) Specter has come out in favor of American defeat in Iraq. Some--Waxman, Schakowsky, Nadler, Schumer, Feingold, Boxer--seem to actually relish and welcome a strategic humiliation of America. And they don't stop there--Jewish members of Congress, including Specter, also want to call off the War on Terror, closing Guantanamo, ending NSA intercepts and repealing the Patroit Act. An appalling vista.
Is there a more unpopular man in America than Vice President Dick Cheney?
Regrettably, all but three of the Jewish members are Dummycrats and those three Republicans include RINO Specter. You left out the fact that the other two Jewish Republican congresscritters, Norm Coleman in the Senate and Eric Cantor in the House, are not in the "surrender now" category.
Still, quite "an appalling vista," as you put it.
As for RINO Specter, his treachery is particularly disgraceful because the Bush Administration pulled out all the stops to enable him to squeak through to a narrow win in the PA GOP primary in '04. He has certainly not returned the favor.
Ping!
I heard that Specter will be running again. Ugh! I am so sorry that Rick Santorum lost. I wish him the best and miss his voice in the Senate. People should not forget about Congressman Eric Cantor, who is Jewish and conservative.
As does that nice Jewish boy, Ted Kennedy. Why are people focused on what Jews in Name Only say? Let's not forget that Eric Cantor is a stanch conservative. Coleman, while not initially supportin the surge, has come around also. And I am Jewish and support the President. These "establishment" types don't do it for me.
Frankly, all the reform and reconstructionist players are interested in is more homosexual penetration of mainstream culture. The rest of their politics is incidental to that aspect.
I don't think that's true, the view that as an extension of the "tolerance" shown Jews in the US. Though I admit it's been going on for over 350 years, virtually all of them without embracing homosexuality., but IMO foreign affairs are beyound their pervue. Other than true humanitarian or moral concerns, like the Suday, they shouldn't be commenting on what are essentially foreign policy decisions. Or domestic issues like gun control or gay marriage. Committment ceremonies are fine, do them all week long, but there's no reason the state has to recognize them as anything but a celebration. Which is what they claim is their essence. Personally, I think it's about taxes and insurance.
Jews of the left need to decide if they are more leftist or more Jewish.
To bash Jews. No one considers Ted representative of Catholics or Catholic values. The idea would be laughable. If you hate Madeline Albright, suddenly she's a Jew. Interestingly, particularly when you look at the Senate, many of them are elected from states virtually devoid of Jews, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, Vermont. Even states like California, less than 3%, what does that matter. Sad to say, this is a conservative obsession.
I think they're mistaken on the war, but in my vidw there's no conflict between opposing the Iraq war and being Jewish. You're simply wrong on a political issue.
apparently you never heard of Sen.Norm Coleman(R-MN) or Rep.Eric Cantor(R-VA)-the only two Jews I'd vote for at this time-Cantor wants the US out of the UN and gets high ratings from the NRA and GOA and low ratings from the ACLU-Coleman ditto except he hasn't asked the UN to leave....yet-the rest all suck on gun control and I needn't look further than that
It goes deeper than that. The people the US is fighting are the
mortal enemies of Israel and Jews everywhere.
Yes they are. And enemies of Christians, Hindus, pretty much any non-Muslim, as well as Americans, Europeans, pretty much citizens on any non Islamic state.
People disagree how to combat this. Until, not if, we're hit again in a serious manner, this might not change.
The distinction is that Jews would not be given an opportunity
to convert to Islam and live in peace. If Israel was overrun there would be mass slaughter. Jews would be singled out in other countries if Islamists got power.
Would there have been a conflict between opposing war against Nazi Germany and being Jewish? (Rhetorical question, yes, but very pertinent because both Nazi Germany and the Islamofascist axis have as proclaimed goals the destruction of the Jewish people!)
A great many Jews in 1930s America opposed war, as did most Americans. They didn't feel it was in America's interest. Other Jews pointed out the evil of Hitler, and suffered the typical conspirital accusations of anti-Americanism. Things don't change. It's not a Jewish thing.
But they'll still vote dem.
