You know, years and years ago a veteran's group in Canada, the Legion, passed a rule that, as a show of respect, anyone coming into one of their social halls and clubs would have to remove any hats. Everyone. Including Orthodox Jews. So of course there were shouts of discrimination and a Jewish liberal went on television to debate a Legion officer. He waxed about the importance of the kippah and when he was done, the Legion officer looked at him and said "If it's so important, why aren't you wearing one?" I love Jews who have nothing Jewish in their lives but get insulted with conservatives who say things they don't want to hear.
