Election 2016: The Day the Music Died for American Jews
American Thinker ^ | December 1, 2016 | Ron Jager

Posted on 12/01/2016 5:31:14 AM PST by Kaslin

For most American Jewish liberals, November 8 was not only a watershed election, but a day in which the music died. They have been left speechless and silent, unwilling to fathom the implications. These liberal Jews have become disoriented and unsure about what to do and what to say; they seem to be suffering from a bad case of PTSD (Post Trump Stress Disorder). For many of these liberal Jews, they are slowly waking up to a new reality of losing their political clout, being left out of the multiple loops of power and access to the White House. They have been demoted to the rank of irrelevancy.

Betting on the wrong horse is always a wrenching experience. Over the past eight years, liberal Jews supported and abetted a president and a Democratic Party that was overtly anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian. During this period, Islamic terror attacks have spread throughout America, and anti-Semitism has blossomed in America’s universities and campuses, poisoning the minds of America’s future political and business leaders. This is real anti-Semitism, not the made up anti-Semitism associated with the emerging Trump administration. In recent years, Jews have been attacked and vilified at levels never seen before in recent history. All this didn’t matter; the Democratic Party was a sure bet as far as they were concerned.

Jewish liberals became drunk with Jewish power. In a wide variety of domestic spheres – immigration and refugee policy, civil rights and affirmative action, abortion rights, church-state separation issues – Jewish liberals became major players, helping to make the rules and call the shots on matters from health care to zoning.

They will pay the price for their lack of vision.

You don’t even have to hide your liberal views... just call yourself ‘patriotic Americans’ or ‘right-wing Zionist’ and you are good to go for the unsuspecting Right.

Oh yes. We all know "True Conservatives" reject the truth of the Hebrew Bible and support the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.[/sarcasm]

Klezmer had a good run while it lasted. Minor key is out of sync with the Zeitgeist.

By definition, your statement:

These liberal Jews have become disoriented and unsure about what to do and what to say; they seem to be suffering from a bad case of PTSD (Post Trump Stress Disorder).

BY DEFINITION, the term “liberal Jews” means TOTAL disorientation.

As a Republican, NRA, cigar chomping, Israel supporting, Conservative, Patriotic, Torah hugging and Zionist Jew, I can only say that all of these Jews are suffering from what is termed, “Terminal Liberal Hemorrhoids” or TLH...

Actually, PTSD should stand for President Trump Stress Disorder. Post Trump sounds like after Trump leaves office.

What amazes me is how different Israeli Jews are from their American cousins. Israelis live a tough and dangerous life and are therefore more adjusted to reality. Each serves in the Israel Defense Forces and knows how to handle a weapon and survive.

You were a democrat who happened to be a Jew.

Now you’re a republican who happens to be a Jew :)

Thank God we Catholics got it right this time or we’d be the headline!!

NYC Jews voted in the highest percentage of all groups AGAINST Deblasio.

People are individuals. Not Borg.

BTW, I have Jewish friends that are democrats. But they are pro Israel and know what communism is about. We argue but they are not left enough to not be friends with :)

Really Peeez me off. I have more in common with Evangelicals than with these Liberal, self-hating Jews.

Could someone please explain to me the reason for the huge support Jewish Americans give to the Dem Party?

I mean, it doesn’t even make sense at all.

The Dem Party was the party of the KKK, that hated Jews and still does.

The Dem Party supports the destruction of Israel and the importation of Muslims by the hundred thousands, who all want to kill Jews and destroy Israel.

The Dem Party has no love for the Jews at all, and still they vote for Dems and give money to Dems in huge percentages.

Why in hell do they do this?..............

Expected strawman from an open Zionist.

I don’t give a rat’s excrement about Palestine. That’s between you and them.

I might ask what ‘biblical license’ does Israel have to support jihadis in Syria and align itself with jihadi powers like Turkey and Saudi-Arabia?

What patriotic Conservatives in any country should resent is the influence your ilk tries to peddle to drag other nations in YOUR squabbles. Especially American blood and treasure are cheap when it’s about wars that are not serving vital American interests.

Also typical to exploit the Christian faith to support ‘Jewish’ goals... nothing new. For starters not all Conservatives are Evangelicals who think that Israel is some godly state. The traditional interpration of the Old Testament being surplanted by the New Testament and Christian Gospel has been effectively pushed aside in mainstream Evangelical circles. But the traditional Christian notion of the Jews not being quite on God’s side is still very much alive worldwide. Just as traditional Judaism has a less than positive view of Christians.
People versed in history know this.

In any case I don’t base my criticism on religion or ethnicity.. that is your spin.

I just am not turning a blind eye to machinations to force down an agenda down the throats of gullible gentiles.
I voiced the same criticism to the machinations of the Saudi lobbying in the US. Just as nefarious.

If I recall correctly, Giuliani did pretty well with the Jewish vote.

Now they need to bring it up to the federal level :)

And a HELL of a lot of Christians voted for hitlery or this wouldn’t have even been close!!

I’m glad Catholics went for Trump, but just like Jews and any other Christian sect, you CANT vote for a murderer who would continue abortion!!

40ish percent of Christians voted for her. That an abysmal number.

Damnable commie bastards every one of them. I spoke with an Israelis from Israel who said they are as relieved and hopeful as we Trumpers are.
