26. The very orthodox Jews might support him and the "fundamentalist"
ideas that he and his followers supposedly support. Some foolishly support him because they think he supports Israel. They have apparently forgotten that old adage that those who lay down with dogs wake up with fleas.

If you make a deal with the devil, you will pay with your soul, no matter how "superior" you may think your motives may have been.

The Jews in America...I am an American Jew, so I can say this...who have enthusiastically backed Bush and his cronies will live to regret it. Their betrayal at the hands of Bush and the Fundamentalists and the Dominionists will be swift and cruel.

What comes to mind is the famous quote from Neimoller out of Nazi Germany:

"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."
Martin Niemoller
