Whoaa! Not so fast! Note that the Orthodox spokesman, however, recommends increased surveillance (cameras) and other security measures; but he did not jump on the frenzied gun-control bandwagon.
Nonetheless, I am constantly amazed by the attitudes of the majority of Jews in this country. The original Jewish tradition and religion is wonderful: it is the root of Christianity, and has given Islam its best features.
The scholarly tradition of Judaism is unsurpassed in its accomplishments. The conservative movement in America is strongly influenced by Jews among its best thinkers: Milton Friedman, Frank Meyer, and many others — and the whole Austrian School of economics (Menger, Hayek, von Mises). And Mark Levin and Dennis Prager!
And yet Jews (who are the one ethnic group strongly overrepresented in the U. S. Senate) have only representation as Democrats in the Senate. In the House, only about one of the Jewish representatives is a Republican, and he was not from a strongly Jewish district. 78% of the Jewish vote went to 0bama in the last election, in spite of the administration’s obviously hostile attitude toward Israel. What were they thinking? Only African-Americans have a stronger tendency to vote as an unreasoning ethnic block.
Many Jews are descendants of immigrants who came to America to escape political persecution. They profess to love America, and yet have contributed a majority of the members of the CPUSA, and have staffed and funded most of the radical organizations in the country. They have supported disproportionately almost every movement which tends to undermine American culture and values, most notably Alinskyism, the ACLU, modern-day feminism, and abortion and the culture of death.
Italians brought us pizza; Germans brought us good beer; and the Jews (especially those from Russia) brought us socialism.
Dennis Prager has said that no group has as many self-haters as the Jews. As he also puts it, no other ethnic group has so many members who hate everything for which their own tradition stands. Why? Are Jews simply a suicidal group? They seem to act that way, and it’s very sad.
That Agudath orthodox spokesman did not speak at all in connection with the leftist groups mentioned, nor did he call for any kind of gun bans. Falsehood by the JTA.
BTW, there would probably be no effective post-WWII American conservatism without Jewish intellectuals that gathered around Catholic William F. Buckley in the ‘50s.
The Tribe has a special hatred for the Goy, thus they take pleasure indisarming the Goy and arming the Blacks and Hispanics. IMO, there are few reliable Conservative Jews, very few and I do not include Levin or Savage in that small group.
