"You are full of crap..... My evidence is check out all the anti-Jew comments just on this thread. The Muslims whale on the Jews all the time and so does the left. So don’t give me this “Jews are sacred cows” garbage."I was speaking in broader terms, that just this forum. The pattern of Jews historically (since the late 19th century) being overrepresented (in statistically significant ways) in the Leftist, Progressive movements and parties is a known fact. It has its own historical and cultural reasons, some of which are valid - i.e. the pogroms and other forms of persecution. In the 21st century and in present-day America it is, however, a misguided, destructive in the long run, to both America and the Jewish people, affinity. The muslims and their ideological attacks on Jews are not, for their majority, a part of the American national discourse. They are mostly foreign in origin and in their intended audience. The Left (including leftist ethnic Jews) attacks primarily the modern state of Israel. It does not attack American Jews per se. The Orthodox live their insular lives primarily in peace in the US, the main threats to their safety being from the urban feral "tonton macoutes", or a hypothetical total neo-Soviet makeover of America.
"Every day on FR there are threads knocking the Jews for voting for Obama. Jews are hardly sacred cows at FR or are you blind?"Many (not all) of the observations about the politico-cultural patterns of the Jews on this thread, even though may be uncomfortable, are valid. To dismiss them simply as racism is akin to using the "race card" when attempting to be open about some of the problems of the black culture and community today. I will talk more about it in my next post.
And here I though that staying out of the LDS, Evangelical and Catholic threads—because of the contentiousness on them—was enough.
Those threads have nothing on this one. Man.
