The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Still really well. The Democratic party is a vastly better fit - ideologically and demographically - for American Jews than the Republican party. T

Sure. Just take a look at all the nascent support for Israel on American's college campuses and from illustrious democrats such as Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Good luck!

Yes, but Israel has enough influence to get around or stop on - Omar etc. Just look at AOC who is recently learning to shine Israel's shoes because she wants to increase her power.

And of course, the supporters of the Democratic Party you speak of - - who have EVERY right to support who they like, mostly support Dems - and politically don't give a shit about you or me.

Yet our side holds up bibles and shouts "Israel!".

Once again, our side - is the dumb one.

But there's smart ones too. You are a better researcher than me if it tickles your fancy, look how Muslims in Chino school districts - California - are pissed off about Liberal Taliban intellectually and sexually abducting their children. Us and them - together - are making small strides in California on parental rights.

We have to get away from seeking 100% agreements.

I feel it can do nothing but *add* to our ranks, to work with Muslims where we can and need to.

I have serious reservations about some of their beliefs and ways of living (as does that whole region, even the cab driver will tell you)....but certain alliances can be a plus for us.

I'm tired for carrying water for people who don't give a shit about us. And frankly, when I see the shit that comes out of pop culture HOLLYWOOD , and attacks the mindsets of the young people especially black......were they grow up dumb and dysfunctional and end up paying high interest rates and late fees to the Finance Industry, it makes me more than wonder about things. Yes, Israel is a Democracy - and amazing. But they are also manipulative users of Western powers, especially America.

Papa Bush isn't my favorite guy but after the Gulf War, after we paid cash money to Israel for "lost tourism" during the war.....James Baker spoke loudly against additional Israeli settlements.

Ask Papa Bush and James Baker - -- why didn't interest rates come down quicker leading up to that election? Why did they come down when people couldn't feel it.....yet GDP was growing by the time Billy Boy got sworn in?

Then Ask Dubya why he made a point to be so slavishly pro Israel.

Yes, certain stereotypes, certain theories - tested over centuries have some validity to them.

As I warned on TMF years ago - Anti Semitism is becoming en vogue on Leftist campuses, and in European and iNternational Halls of diplomacy like the U.N.

As of now, I can't say I don't give a shit. But I can say I give way less of a shit.

Chickens like voting for Colonel Sanders? Go right ahead, but then it's not my circus and not my monkey.
