Winged Hussar: I am a Jew who voted for McCain/Palin, and I find this offensive

I also find some of these comments offensive. And Winged Hussar is not responsible for whatever percentage of Jews voted for Obama. Nor for their conversion to conservatism. Just as I am not responsible for the actions of false Christians who persecuted the Jews in Europe. Nor am I responsible for the conversion of millions of New York State liberals to conservatism even though I live in the state.

Conservative Americans need to support conservative principles and not worry about classifying people into groups that are responsible for converting the rest of that group. In my humble opinion.

I believe some of the comments are intended to be offensive. It is up to you to let people know where your goat is tied or not. I know myself. Sometimes the only exercise I get is being upset over something someone else has said (typed), besides jumping to conclusions.

Anyone with any sense knows their are many Jews that are conservative, and that a large part of Dem voters across all ethnic/socio/economic lines are afflicted with the same attitude. IMHO, the faithful Jews and Christians should be standouts, and should be evangelizing, even if only by their example.

No one is responsible for anyone else’s “conversion”, but the faithful are responsible to plant the seeds.

Well maybe so, but to deny the fact that Jews in America, as a group, are overwhelmingly liberal and anti-American is to deny reality, in my opinion. Since 78% voted for obama, and have voted liberal and Democrat for years, it is NOT an attack on EVERY Jew. It is a statement of fact. No one claims that you have to convert them to Conservatives, but stop denying reality. I am a long time supporter of Israel and have never understood the American Jew's mentality in politics.
