[Just mythoughts]

Method of operation of the "left" call your enemies the very thing they are, muddy the water, make your enemy go on the defense, thereby, change the subject.

Progress of the "left" is based upon emotional blackmail, which destroys the confidence of thought by focusing on "feelings". Method of turning thought process to mush.

"I FEEL YOUR PAIN" legacy.

[Pharmboy]

Please--my co-religionists and I have enough trouble without adding Her Heinous to our ranks. Her grandma married a Jewish guy after grandpa died: the closest she gets to being a Jew is a step-grand-dad. Whew!

[FreePaul]

Barbara Boxer experienced sex discrimination and sexual harassment as a woman.

But she did find a man willing to marry a woman. Didn't she?

[cynicom]

Boy...

Arguing for or against nothing. Facts are facts. Any conclusions or assumptions one draws are their own.

[Chief]

Glad you cleared that one up, Pharm.

[Pharmboy]

I wouldn't imagine, as a Freeper, you are arguing for affirmative action for elected office.

How would you infer from this statement that I accused you of arguing for this? I was giving you the benefit of the doubt as a Freeper that you would not advocate quotas for the senate. You were citing group representation fact--to what purpose though?

As another has pointed out on this thread, that kind of thinking (the Balkanization of politics) is usually a democrap thing.

[cynicom]

Boy

The original post is "about group represenative". In this case stating a fact concerning religion/race, jews, as being senators. I was merely pointing out that blacks/race, have none, this is also a fact.

Race baiters from whatever angle, surely may draw their own conclusions, good or bad.

"Clearly" there is no lobby of socialist Jewish influence in America.

Nothing disproportionate with respect to the American population, wherein Jews, not to mention leftwing-wacko Jews, making up 20% of the population ... if we are to believe the liberals sense of what "is" "fair."

BTW, is there anybody in the list who did not go to law school?

[First_Salute]

Even further, given the population of the U.S. and the Democrat Party's sense of what "is" "fair," 20% of the population, doing the math, comes out to around ... about ... incredible!

According to The Democrat Party, there are at least 46,000,000 Jews living in the United States.

That's astonishing.

Not only that, according to the Democrats' sense of representation, 99.999...% of them are socialists!

Now that is what you'd call a vast leftwing conspiracy.

And yes, I did get "A's" in math; thank you very much.

"But this did break my heart: "Barbara Boxer experienced sex discrimination and sexual harassment as a woman. When in colleae, her professor gave her a very low mark on an exam and when she saw him in his office about the grade, he made sexual advances towards her. When she wanted to become a stockbroker on Wall Street, she discovered that they only hired men. When she ran for supervisor on the county board in California, she was attacked for not staying home to take care of the home and children which cost her the election."

Sob! Sniff! NOW I understand why she favors partial-birth abortion -- because of past trauma from a male-dominated world. [/sarcasm]

Becoming intensely pro-abortion because of past discrimination is akin to torturing small animals because the neighborhood bully beat you up.

[ambrose]

Kerry has as much Irish blood in him as I do (and that is, unfortunately, zero--I am an Erin-o-phile). He is half Jewish and half old guard Boston Wasp--nary a Catholic in the woodpile.

I didn't realize that Catholicism was a genetic thing. I thought it had something to do with acceptance of Jesus as the savior, or something of that nature. But as it turns out, it is simply an inherited trait passed down over the generations. </ sarcasm>

[Robert A Cook PE]

Funny.... 11 in in the Senate.

And I despise 9 out of 11 of them.

Those 9 are uniformly hate-filled liars and policially-motivated scum.

But oterh than that, what else do they have in common with the other democrat liars and and hate-filled scum?

[Dick Bachert]

MY personal favorite:

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Question: should Sen. Kerry be counted as a Jewish Senator too?

Answer: There is no way Kerry can be considered Jewish. No one on his mother's side is or was Jewish and he does not practice the faith. And I highly doubt that he was Bar Mitzvah'd.

[Pharmboy]

If you want to get "genetic Catholicism" out of what I said, you are certainly welcome to it. Strange mind you have, IMO.

My point was that between the Austrian Jews on his father's side and the Boston Brahmins on his mother's side, no Irish Catholics appear. Yes...definitely read some genetic stuff about Catholicism in what I posted and get offended.

[joanie-f]

Now that is what you'd call a vast leftwing conspiracy.

You said it. I didn't (but it doesn't mean I didn't think it).

Virutally everyone on that list is persona non grata here on FreeRepublic. They represent the leftist American Jewish population. It's still gratifying that the majority of (genuine, as opposed to in name only) Americans, and the majority of (genuine, as opposed to in name only) Jewish people, bear no real resemblance to these notorious eleven.

P.S. I have a drawer (full) of letters -- and a file (full) of e-mails -- that I have written Senator Specter over the years. One is devoted almost entirely to his abominable behavior during the Bork hearings. And the drawer reserved for his replies still lies empty. :)

[Edmund Burke]

Given the trend, how many years is it expected to take to go from 11% to 51%?

[First_Salute]

On another, though related, topic, please forgive me, while I think that the Unites States has good reason to depose Saddam Hussein because he's an accident waiting to happen, it seems that members of the vast leftwing conspiracy --- the near 69% Clintonista residue within the Bush Administration --- are messing with the flow of information to President Bush ... in answer to John's question on another FR webpage.
