[Rhodes22-list] Time for a political question of Mark Putnam

[Brad Haslett]

Ed,

It is a losing argument.  The Jews are the 'chosen people' and to repeat the
old mantra, "I wish they'd chosen someone else".  Let's do the math - there
are about 6 million Jews in Israel and about 6 million in the US, and these
are the people responsible for all the problems in the world?  My neighbor
is Jewish and he's an asshole.  I don't hide the fact (from him) that I
think I think he's an asshole (he knows what I think) and he can digest from
my behavior whatever he wants to.  I'm an equal opportunity redneck!

Now, on a different subject, I am an unashamed supporter of Israel!  I'll
draw guns and knives on that subject!  Where that fits in to my attitude on
my neighbor and his kin is not important.  Ask Obama what his policy is.

It ain't pretty!

Brad
