I'm Jewish, and I don't get them either. I'm the "black-sheep" of my family... Conservative leaning small 'L' libertarian, who likes guns and motorcycles.
I've got a cousin who is the daughter of an ultra-liberal mother, and the acorn didn't fall far from the tree. Even though she married and moved to Israel, she's still extremely liberal, loves Obama (she is still an American citizen and voted for Obama, and would do so again,) and hates Bibi. Needless to say, I don't get her.
I had another cousin who freaked out when she learned I owned guns. She was outraged, and accused me, "You own a gun?!?! Well, I'm never coming over to your house!" My response was, "I don't own a gun. I own 17 guns. And you're not invited to my house!"

Jews, as brave as they were thousands of years ago, just aren’t anymore. Moses would be ashamed.
