American Jewry's Cherished Values

What''s not to understand about why American Jews vote Democratic? They have a collective memory of being discriminated against right here in this country---they weren't allowed in social clubs, resorts, hotels, universities, certain housing, etc. They fear the Evangelical Christians who they know have as a goal to convert all Jews to Christianity. They mistrust those people, and choose to stay with the party that has liberated this country from such prejudice against blacks and Jews. They will never convert; the Israelites just use Chrisitians. Also American Jews feel more confortable in a Western country like the Europe most came from. They don't like the Middle East.

Sorry if after 2000 years of having the stuffing knocked out of them by gentiles the Jews are a bit suspicious of non-Jews. And sorry if most of the Jews will not willingly jettison there ancient faith for your New and Improved version. Please try to deal. Oh, and about half of the world's Jews now live in their ancestral homeland, and obviously, feel more "comfortable" there. That was a stupid post, Emilie3

Now let me get this straight Emille, Jews mistrust Christians, so they vote for Obama who is both a Marxist and a Muslim, the greatest enemies of Jews and of Israel. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Republicans freed the slaves, were for civil rights, and the Democrats created the KKK. You have it backwards.

If they wanted to go with the party that liberated this country from such prejudice against blacks and Jews they would all be Republicans. The Democrat party is the party of slavery, Jim Crow laws, antisemitism, abortion and total moral bankruptcy.

Exactly!
"Fear of Evangelical Christians?". Its the bad Christians that are helping Israel. 0bama would call it a "bump in the Road" if Israel blows up.

I was about to say the same thng. Liberals have managed to convince minorities of all ethnic background that it was they who freed slaves and made the country accept all persons. In truth, the libs were dragged kicking and screaming to the point of equal rights for everyone. but once it was a fait accompli, they turned the facts around and took credit. I just thought Jews were smarter.

Decades ago, the sociographer Milton Himmelfarb coined the aphorism that "American Jews earn like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans." And his words ring as true today as ever. Surveys show that roughly 70 percent of American Jews intend to cast their ballots for President Barack Obama's reelection next month.

Himmelfarb's quip indicated that American Jews abjure their economic interests in favor of their liberal values. Certainly it is true that for American Jews to vote for Obama next month they must act against their economic interests.

Obama's economic policies have taken a huge toll on the economic...
