RE: “I used to think that liberal Jewish people were concerned about the fate of Israel I no longer do.”

I believed that as well. A Jewish friend of mine, lifelong Dem, age 65, still working as a substitute teacher in ghettos of Los Angeles, hates blacks. I mean he DETESTS them.
Yet, he will vote for Obama. Teachers’ union tells members how to vote in every election and that means vote Obama too. I asked this friend how he could vote for Obama when he hates all blacks as much as he does. He didn’t have an answer, really, and then I asked if he did not, as a Jew, feel some loyalty to Israel. He flatly said NO, I have no interest in Israel at all.
So there you have it. This is a dyed in the wool Dem who has always voted for the Dem NO MATTER WHAT. And this dynamic is evident all over the country. I truly believe these people deserve what they will get with Obama. I just lament that I have to try to continue living here, too. I am turning myself into John Galt as much as possible.
Both the unions I am a member of are in Obama's pocket. But unless they are standing in the booth with me how will they know how I vote? That's why I don't understand union endorsements, who gives a rat's patootie what a union thugocracy thinks?
