SJackson this is for you to, it was exasperation driving me to say these things so I apologize in offending you.

Yes OKSooner, I “shout” in solidarity with my jewish friends and get mighty exasperated (and we’ve “shouted” at each other!) over the demographics of those voting or supporting Obama! “Come, let us reason together” sounds great but what does it take to convince who I regard as generally very reasonable people, just what Obama is about? Please explain.

Also, am I confusing JPFO with the group that dissed Sarah Palin during that golden opportunity??

We’ve had these talks before the election and drat it, again, demographics prove my point, now more than ever. Give up? No, of course not but as we all slide slowly into some form of slavery, how much more patience will it take? “Seventy times seven” I would imagine...

Well, honestly, I'm not blessed with the gift of persuasion.

My friend that I mentioned is not a guy that I care to argue with either - his brain runs at about ten times the cycle rate of an average person.

In his case, I guess I can be happy to say that I took a friend shooting. He's a shooter now, and I helped. I would hope that he will have some pull with his peeps where I haven't.

BTW, interesting story about this guy, who I won't mention by name. You've heard of "Goldberg", the pro rassler? He grew up here in my home town, and went to the same private Hebrew school as my friend. Goldberg was a year younger. The school put on a rasslin' tournament for the boys - my friend was in 1st grade and Goldberg in Kindgergarten or the equivalent of it. Turned out that my bud is the only human being who ever pinned Bill Goldberg.

I love to tell that story about him. If you could meet him you'd appreciate it.

Oh, yeah, your second question. I don’t know who it was who dissed Sarah that you referred to so I couldn’t say if it was JPFO or not. I would hope not.

The only Jewish group I can think of that "dissed" Sarah Palin during the recent campaign is the National Democratic Jewish Council. That organization can better be described as "leftist" than "Jewish". I'd be confident that JPFO has no connection whatsoever to them.

That's OK.

It wasn't JPFO, they're a small Wisconsin organization. Ironically a state with hardly any Jews, and two Jewish Senators.

The anti-Iran rally was organized by several groups. Personally I'd place most of the blame Clinton/Obama. Having Palin only would have politicized the event, and opposition to Iran should be bi-partisan. A shame our upcoming Secretary of State put her personal ambitions above delivering that message.
