Oh.., and one more thing...
You said — I love Fundamentalist Protestants, but they have no grounds whatsoever for their belief in the Protestant bible other than habit and nostalgia.

Actually Protestants or Fundamentalists don’t have any real part in this. They simply recognize the inspiration (i.e., as something given directly from God to them) of those writing of the Apostles who were with Jesus, just as others has recognized those writings from the Apostles — from the early centuries.
So, it’s not anything “particular” to either Protestants or Fundamentalists, but to Christians of all ages (of any century and any age) who have recognized and do recognize the inspired Word of God, that came from the Apostles of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel.
2)No one can just "recognize" inspiration. Only the Holy Torah was written directly by G-d Himself and then dictated to Moses letter-for-letter and never had to canonized by a duly constituted authority. All the rest of Scripture other than the Torah is mediated through prophets or soferim (scribes) and couldn't be accepted just because someone made a claim about them. It took the 'Anshei HaKenesset HaGedolah to approve of them before they could be accepted as Scripture.
3)Most Jews rejected J*sus' claims, so you're picking the chr*stian faction over the Jews who practiced authentic, Torah True Judaism is merely an expression of your own preconceptions.
Finally, a further defense of authentic Tradition is that the First Torah was not cranked out of a Thomas Nelson printing press but written by Moses' hand at G-d's dictation. This scroll, in order to be faithfully reproduced through the ages, must be written according to a body of very strict rules which are not recorded in the Written Torah in order to assure its authenticity. No Authentic Oral Tradition, no Kosher Torah Scrolls. And the Kosher Torah Scroll, not any printed Bible, is the Word of G-d in its purest and most perfect form.
One reason Protestantism rejects Tradition (aside from the hypocrisy of the Catholics) is that it has only existed during the time of the printing press. This leads to a subconscious belief that no human hand has ever had to physically write and no (unwritten) rules exist to assure the copies are authentic. That's an excuse the Qara'im don't have.
