So there’s already a small buzz in the “neighborhood” that come election day we Jews need to be vigilant, especially if the outcome isn’t so favorable for Obama.
Seriously, that is what many people are talking about, this inherent fear of rioting by blacks should Obama lose. Or this fear of overzealous celebrating should Obama win.
The level of apocalyptic rhetoric over this election from both sides of the fence has I believe gone over the top.
If you’re a McCain-Palin supporter, some Obama backers see you as a right wing nutcase.
If you’re an Obama-Biden backer, you’re now a member of the left wing liberal socialist elite. 
Can’t we just be Americans making a choice on election day?
Isn’t this what being an American is all about? We get to cast a vote privately for the candidate of our choice.
Yes, as far as ceilings go, this is an incredible time in our history. On one side, we could have our first American president who is black. On the other side, we could have our first American vice president who is female.
I think the country needs to stop for a second and at least congratulate itself that we have reached this level of leadership. Instead of using scare tactics to create worry over riots, we should be talking parades and dancing in the street of this accomplishment.
I don’t know, wasn’t a couple of morons calling themselves “skinheads” who got busted the other day for plotting death and destruction? Why isn’t there this equal concern by some over these crazed white guys like there is over blacks.
It was a group of lilly white voters in Iowa who got this ball rolling for Obama, don’t forget that.
And it don’t fool yourself that there aren’t plenty of black Americans who will vote for McCain next week.
But we vote our choice because we can.
Try this act in Cuba, Saudi Arabia, North Korea , Syria or Russia? It’s a no go.
I’ve heard that rabbis might be asked to speak from the pulpit about this fear of rioting.
Can we tone this down please?
Can we instead get our rabbis and our clergy of all colors and religions to talk about how incredible all of this could be for this great American democracy and celebrate that.
The glass is half full on this one guys, no matter who you choose to vote for. We are a land of opportunity. This election proves that.
It makes me proud.
