Someone please, please help me understand why Jews choose to vote for a Party of Islamic sympathizers? It defies logic.

Yes, it does.

I am not Jewish but a freeper who is Jewish once explained on a thread long ago that the Jewish people tend to be self-flagellating. They love to stick "Kick Me" signs on their own backs. For example, Jews in this country usually vote overwhelmingly for the party that would prevent them from having the guns they need to protect themselves the next time a despotic government decides to herd them into the boxcars.

It's weird. Don't ask me to explain WHY so many Jews are self-flagellating.
But yes, it defies logic as we understand it.

First, or again, crap. How do you differentiate these folks from other American Liberals, be they Episcopal, Unitarian, Presbyterian, Catholic or whatever. Liberals see guns as a problem that needs solving. Something unsafe to have in their homes because they know for a fact, and this is true that the gun is most likely to be used on an occupant of that house, rather than someone from outside especially in times of peace.

They see our country as civilized and the Gun people are the crazies.

This is wrongheaded in many ways but not all.

Jews live with a sense of the need for compassion and justice and they are prepared to admit being wrong, this is not "Kick Me" but some could sell it as such.

Christians who practice their faith with humility and devotion are just as willing to accept the possibility of being in error.

Our United States is built on some very basic "Liberal Values" Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. The idea of a society ruled by Laws and not Men. These are great Liberal ideas, but they are build on a foundation of faith and the idea that these rights come from God.

Those who reject God become lost, mistaking wrong for right, up for down and evil for good.

if you say all Jews are this or that, it is just as grave an error as any other prejudice. Don't go there.

Do you realize how ignorant you sound? I suppose "they're really good with money" too?

You could use the same broad brush about non-Jews, they love to self flagellate and stick kick me signs on their back by voting for McCain, who stabs them in the back every time.
