#1 Some people are natural born traitors---we Jews have a more than a fair proportion of such.

#2 If only being Jewish really were a mark of innate high intelligence.

#3 I would call them masochists. Tough love involving whips, chains, bondage gear, and wrapping Saran Wrap around their face until they suffocate.

"Whatever turns you on..."

#4 Tough love they want is it? Well if Obama brings Canadian activist journalist Naomi Klein into his administration, they'll be getting some.

"I think I'm lucky because I got to witness a significant shift, something that changed, and I wanted to document that shift. And it seemed very, very clear to me that if there was going to be a future for the left it would have to be an anti-corporate movement."
Klein.

#5 Some people are natural born traitors---we Jews have a more than a fair proportion of such.

Again, what seems an interesting take on that :
The Oslo Syndrome

#6 I'm somewhat surprised that during the last war with Hezbollah that Israel didn't really clean house knowing that it was only a matter of time before the pro-israel foreign policy of America was challenged.

Israel should have gone into Syria and taken out the regime and handed over power to the Kurds and pulled out. I suspect the Kurds would learn to be brutal very fast and Kurds from neighboring nations might migrate into Syria to be part of a ruling power for a change. The entire dynamic to the North of Israel would have changed.

Now they'll have to listen to pontification and funding threats.

#7 Obama apparently received 70% of the jewish vote. He probably considers that a mandate.

#9 The local Jewish rag claims it was 78%, based on exit polls, DoDo. In September the American Jewish Committee poll set it at 57% for Obama with 13% undecided. Truly, I do not understand people.

#10 Blacks 94%. Kosher 78%. Could it be a deep seated, abiding hatred of ~~the real America~~ Joe the Plumber?

#11 ION BAMELOT, WORLD MIL FORUM [paraph = GOOGLE Chinglish translation] > INDIA FAVORS LIMITED/SHORT-TERM US INFLUENCE AND MIL PRESENCE IN AFGHANISTAN, PAKISTAN [Indian NW Corridor]; + AFTER OBAMA'S WIN, WHITE BACKLASH FESTERS IN THE US. Presence of increasingly PRO-VIOLENCE/ANARCHIST elements = sub-groups-factions inside a mostly benign US WHITE NATIONALIST MOVEMENT. SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER claims over 200-plus HATE INCIDENTS linked to Dem Barack Obama's electoral victory over GOP'er John Mccain - Obama's victory also believed or anticipated by Perts to be used as tool for nationwide recruiting of new members for same.; + US SCHOOLCHILDREN IN VARIOUS SOUTHERN AND MIDWEST US STATES ARE SINGING OBAMA ASSASSINATION, DEATH SONGS ON SCHOOL BUSES AND SCHOOLS.

Also, OBAMA INTERVIEW ON "60 MINUTES" > SAVING THE US ECONOMY IS MOE IMPORTANT THAN CONTROLLING THE DEFICIT/HEAVY US GOVERNMENT-LED INVESTMENT AND FISCAL SPENDING TO CONTINUE.

Uh, uh, the only thing better than a OWG-NWO Amerika wid a US$13.0Trilyuhn GDP and up to US$50.0Trilyuhn in International Debts, IS A OWG-NWO AMERIKA US$13.0TRILYUHN GDP WID A US$80-100.0TRILYUHN IN INTERNAT DEBTS???

Gut Nuthin.
