60-70% of American Jewry identifies as Democrat, while 78% went for Obama in 2008, compared to 21% for McCain. You're certainly correct in regards to Democrats and Israel, but I think it's a mistake to reduce the entire Jewish vote down to that single issue; cultural leftism seems to be a bigger hook (15% of Jews in 2004 stated Israel as a key

Frankly, that article was ten times better than anything I've ever seen from David Kramer or the History Channel.

Of course, a lot of the Progressives (including FDR

You know academia is in a sorry state when Age of Empires and Civilization IV have better ways to define technological boundaries than a theoretical physicist. Anybody who thinks the Paleo/neolithic is functionally identical to the Renaissance needs to have their head examined, and I don't care if that's by a medicine man or a doctor in a spooky

The Bush family and the Saudi royal family might be related, but certainly not by blood.

That's a rather curious interpretation, given that Tony Blair was frequently portrayed as Bush's lapdog and Britain has long been a junior partner to the US in foreign affairs (though a significant segment of British elite culture, particularily that of the BBC, despises the US). I mean, if you want to find some shadowy figure to blame for Iraq
