So...

...Bernie Sanders is Jewish.  Just found that out yesterday and I wonder why his people keep it such a secret?  His name has been changed to an Anglo-Saxon one, which is weird, but probably understandable because how would main-stream America react to a Jewish president?

Probably not all that well. 

And don't start accusing me of being anti-semitic, I am simply making a cultural observation.  I do not think America is ready for a Jewish president -- just as Ontario wasn't ready for a Jewish premier when Larry Grossman was running for head of the PCs in that province.  A rabidly Conservative province at the time, it would not elect Grossman head of the party because traditional, true-blue, deeply conservative Ontario was not ready for a Jewish premier.  Similarly, until the disastrous Kathleen Wynn, it wasn't ready for a woman.  In fact, she has probably cured Ontario of electing a woman for a generation.   

Only 53 when he died of brain cancer, Grossman was eminently qualified on paper, just the wrong religion for Ontario.  I think it's the same in the US, which is why Sanders doesn't identify publically as Jewish -- something which must grate on American Jews.  Jews in America run the entertainment industry and the financial industry, which means de-facto they run the country, but a Jewish president?  I think not, despite the fact Jews run politics, most important political hitters having come from money firms such as Goldman Sachs.  Hey folks, think about it. 

But, as I said, don't start with the anti-semitic crap.  I'm just tellin' it like it is.
