Re: "...I'm beginning to question Chaim's opposition to Ron Paul..."
A very great number of non-Jews have no place in their life for Jewish matters.
It's not necessarily that they "hate" Jews or "hate" anyone else; but they were raised in a totally non-Jewish environment, knew or associated with few if any Jewish people, and quite frankly just never have given much thought to Jewish people.
Then, there are the full-time "professional" Jew-haters (formerly known as "anti-Semites"). These folks despise even the word "Jew", have a psychosis based on the delusional thinking that the Jew is in control of any and all matters, preventing anything good from ever being accomplished, and actively working to destroy decent societies. These kinds of people are far less a threat to Jews than the next variety in the upcoming paragraph, because they aren't hiding any feelings from anyone.
The true danger to Jews, that which is most dangerous, comes from those who know something about the Jews, were schooled and raised around Jews, and are seemingly "friendly" and "cordial" when in our presence. Yet, behind their handshakes and smiles, is a subconscious contempt and jealousy for us which they know is to never be revealed in polite company. A classic example of this type: President Bush. He has damaged the Jews today more than all the blatant Jew-Haters in America could have ever done; all with smiles, handshakes, and exchanges of gifts. I fail to see how Ron Paul, if he were elected President, could have done more damage to Jews than Bush with all of his praise, money, and "support" has done today. With "friends" like Bush, you don't need "anti-Semites" to worry about.
