Most of my fellow American Jews are educated far beyond their ability to understand. Most American Jews are Jews second and Liberals first. Liberalism is their religion, their identity, their coat of many diverse colors. Too many of our grandparents were communists before there was an official communism, because their European and Middle Eastern communities denied them even the basics of private property and simple security in their homes. My mom's dad, who had fled Ukraine with just the clothes on his back at age 20 in 1893, used to sit in front of our TV muttering
Febrenta Republicans * and railing against the wealthy. My mom voted Socialist in her first election at 21 years old. I was raised Full Boston Jewish Liberal and never thought about it until I went out into the real world and saw that Liberal Judaism is as godly as a crowd of union thugs and as rational as a Three Stooges comedy. That some Jewish Obama supporters are turning is wonderful.

Sadly, you are absolutely right! For all their emphasis on education, Jews are unwilling to see the world in terms of even their own self-interest. You can almost understand why Blacks vote RAT as they are relatively uneducated and they have the added “plus”of being “skin color oriented.” But the vast majority of the Jews, can’t even look back to WW II and understand that guys like Obama would give a repeat performance if they felt it was in their interest to do so!
