Hasn’t Norman wrote on this before?
Personally after 57 years watching what I failed to notice till I was around 25
It’s partly Jewish lack of Messiah and path to afterlife which leads to Utopian quests for earthly life and to leave earth better place than when one lived here
Hence really dovetails with change and progress since status quo is not ever good enough
Jews tend to be clustered in urban life.....that lends oneself to government need for order and services
An irrational fear of Christianity and tradition borne originally of not so irrational genesis but this is America not Germany 1930s
Jews tend to create or walk into the same trap for themselves over and over aside from just being likely targets
Trust me the black and brown waves streaming into USA will one day turn on Jews as 1%ers even though the Left has engineered this demographic winter for old America
Many if not most American Jews are agnostic or atheist and keep Judaism as a cultural tradition for holidays and who they tend to marry to keep said tradition alive and parents happy
Not to say all not believers are liberals but the incidence of conservatism higher in believers....of western religion
Nor are most Religious Jews conservative politically....in fact...they are not but most freepers wishfully think otherwise after several posted here for years
But the most common reason is who the bulk today are. They are Eastern European Ashkenazim who brought collectivism and anti pluralism to our shores with them....the early Pre Revolution and Antebellum Jews were no different than Gentiles and they came from different parts of Europe
It’s just how it is....providential
It’s a pity....given their media and Hollywood influence if they turned it would change America
More Sarnoffs and less Weinsteins and Katzenbergs
Christian understanding (and much pre-gospel Jewish understanding) embraces eternity in present day life. It isn’t about going to heaven, but about embracing heaven here.
Nobody says we have to sit on status quo, but sometimes we are wise to keep it and wait rather than jumping on the first change to suggest itself.
