CONVICTIONS ARE SCARY:

Jewish voters dis Bush: Israel’s defender deserves better (Virginia Buckingham, July 25, 2006, Boston Herald)

Why aren’t Jewish voters rock-solid behind the first president who has made eradicating terror as big a priority for the United States as it has long been for Israel?

Because of his faith.

It's forever 1939 in the minds of some American Jews, with Father Coughlin on the radio and the America Firsters and their Republican allies holding their meetings at Madison Square Garden.

It's not even about Coughlin. OJ is right, it's faith, period, not just Christianity. Am Jews are secularists first and foremost and despise the faithful of all stripes.

and I do mean despise

Demographics will change this. The Orthodox voted much higher in favor of the President (some say a majority) and their population numbers are still going up. The Conservative and Reform Jews are breeding [not] and intermarrying their way to oblivion.

In the article: Goldman pointed out, “American Jews have yet to see a single American Democratic politician not agree with Bush on the issue.” But with that Democrat, Goldman said, “we get choice, we get stem-cell research.” Clinton's former Secretary of States, Warren Christopher has said that there should be an immediate cease fire without the soldiers' release or Hizbo's stop firing their rockets. The Dem did not disagree with Bush, but which one of them can stand firm with Israel in defiance of the UN and the Euros? Not Kerry, who even needs 'international approval' to defend ourselves. Of course Hizbos and fellow terrorists would be tame and peaceful if Kerry were president. Why do Jews keep killing their next generation with their "choice"? Why do Blacks keep their kids in failed school by voting Democrats? Some mysteries are unsolvable.
