This year, I've decided to do something about bigotry, starting with my own. I want to examine and root out some of the most deep-seated of my personal prejudices. This week, for example, I am resolved to take a look at the irrational queaze I feel when I consider the idea of Jews voting Republican.
As oppressed minorities go, the Republican Jew may appear to be anything but downtrodden. The stereotype, that of the upwardly mobilized breathing the rarified air of the American Dream, was already in place in the early 1960s, when satirist Allen Sherman set the tune of "Hava Nagila" to a family saga that took a New York Jewish couple from relatively humble Kennedy Democratic activist beginnings to the shiny Jaguar poolside lifestyle of Lalaland:
Harvey and Sheila moved to west LA H Advertisement
arvey and Sheila flew TWA
Traded their used MG for a new XKE Switched to the GOP That's they way things go.
As ostensibly idyllic as this may have sounded in the 1962 live recording, one can pick up a decided note of reproach in the near-angry audience guffaws that greet the end of the verse. Simply stated, there's a sense that there's something fundamentally wrong here. There's a sense of dissonance and even discomfort in the idea of the Jewish Republican. And clearly, that sense has never really gone away.
Just this month, addressing a major conference of the Republican Jewish Coalition, presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani struck a chord with many in the crowd when he said "A lot of you get grief for being Republican, right?"

My personal experience, this is nonsense in the real world. But reinforcing for the left
bttt
I notice he didnt quote Jummy Carter. I wonder why that is?
Despised? Assuredly.
Detested? Unquestionably.
Oppressed? Fat chance!
Well actually, it’s kind of like being a Conservative in Massachusetts. Everyone HATES you but they don’t know why. Yet they remain your friend.
Go figure.
Their first attempted coup in Germany was in 1848. They followed up with another attempt through the Spartakusbund in the 1902's. In 1841, the Bund also set up Max Lillenthal to lead an attempted communist infiltration of Judaism in Russia, but was defeated by the Tzemach Tzedek.
The same Sabbateans are with us today, manifesting themselves through the Theosophical Society, which is intimately tied into the UN.
The machinations of these apostate Jews aren't pretty, but they explain a lot. What really gets to me is the degree of cover provided them by mainline Jewry, which too often has born the brunt of retribution. I guess it isn't too surprising given their origins.
My own experience with Democrats lately is that Jews are expected to ritually denounce the Israeli government and political policies toward the Palis. Sorta like the existence of Israel is OK, they guess, but gosh, it's OK to hate the State of Israel because it's policies are so darn much like Bush's. 'Course, that can't be anti-Semitism in their minds because they think Jews are OK, except in the case of the State of Israel.
Don't ask, it doesn't get any clearer than that.
Apostate Sabbateans among the Illuminati set up a front organization, the Geseschaft der Bruder, in 1779. The Bund hired Abraham Geiger to found Reform Judaism. They were hell bent on imbuing it with communist ideals. For the most part, it worked.

marx didn’t come along for another 50 years or so after 1779.
but the history you recount does sound similiar to the unitarians.
in the first two centuries after newton people were pretty proud of themselves for all the science and technology being developed. it made the religion man centered.
these days the new science & technology first excites then shocks then numbs people. there is something really frightening going on. the best surveys of the frontiers of natural science make the world —as seen through the scientists eyes — look very much like what the ancient shamans saw. only now they have numbers and proofs for their visions. so the religion is turning more God centered.
atheists are with us and will always be with us but the glory days of atheism — from the fall the bastile to the fall of the berlin wall — are over.
The Demoratic Experience
Kinda like a dare to see if you can understand the way they think? This is a riddle right? We are supposed to figure it out. If we do, we will understand how a demorat thinks?
Well, I thought about it but I aint even going to try. I figure I would have to blow 95% of my brains out, rip my spine out of my back, and remove my manhood to understand how demorat thinks. Im not in a understanding mood right now.
When I was young, my Jewish friends and neighbors knew and believed Old Testament Scriptures. Today, many only seem to know and believe Democratic Party Indoctrination. They seem to think only Democrats can save them from the next Right Wing Dictator, and that somehow only big government run by Democrats can protect them. They don’t see Islam or Communism as a threat. Only Republicans. Some are so far removed from their culture that they misspell “dreidel”. Many don’t even realize that Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy are also in the Christian Bible. It’s that bad.
hello mudda bump
The left hates them, the Arabs want to slaughter them, yet they vote overwhelming for the party endorsed by both. I will never understand it. Christians are commanded by scripture to “bless Israel”, yet they look on us as if we are stalking their daughters.
This post needed a barf alert.
Please refer to Ann Coulter’s
recent statements and you’ll
have your answer. It’s
the reason why Jews vote Dem.
“My personal experience, this is nonsense in the real world. But reinforcing for the left”
I agree.
In addition to the information provided by self-professed Sabbateans, I'm reading To Eliminate the Opiate, by Rabbi Marvin S. Antelman. It isn't quite up to the standards I would prefer, but it does have hard information that (so far) has held up to cross-checking.
Marx was merely a public face for these thugs. As I understand it, virtually nothing he wrote was truly original.
