Am I short sighted when I see a ever expanding government in the United States, dictating, regulating, spying on Americans without a warrant, attacking Americans who do not have the same political views as the current administration does, e.g. IRS, this alone should scare the hell out of Jews, since it was an out of control government in Germany that murdered their kindred!
I simply do not understand the Jewish support for larger, intrusive, secret, punishing, and dictatorial government under Obama?
They are locked into a 1937 mindset where government can assist the needy and provide parachutes for those that fall. They are not seeing the whole picture because they have liberal blinders are. Films like “Meet John Doe” (1941) still ring a message in their ears for the WWII generation and the early (1945-1955) Boomers.
Traditionally Jews should be fearful of big government and prying, ACLU and all that but it's a mixed bag of advantages and disadvantages. Jews have a deep sense of mistrust for government cover ups and conspiracies so it is a strange picture indeed.
