Too many WASPS in the GOP so they schlep over to the dummycrats where they have an illusion of having a voice.

I think there is a lot too this. A lot of older Jews remember being dominated socially by Christian zealots in the past, and they still resent it. Their families have subsequently followed their political preferences.

For a long time, the Republican party was/is seen as unabashedly pro-Christian, and so it creates an aversion to siding with them.

The Orthodox vote Republican in large majorities, but they are the more stringent religiously, and they appear to see Christians as their political allies, not adversaries.

The good news is that the Orthodox are gaining in strength because they are making babies, while liberal and secular Jews are waning in strength because they are not.

I'm deeply offended on behalf of real lemons.

Jews are afraid of people who show overt patriotism because it reminds them of the NAZIS.

The National socialists were bad, but when it comes to even larger events of mass murder, the INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISTS were far worse.

But I think this is an emotional thing, not a logical one. The left has spent years tagging the Nazis as "Right Wing", and in the minds of most of the public they have successfully distracted attention from the fact that the Nazis were "Left Wing" socialists.

With this false understanding widely spread, people cannot overcome their memories of the horrible events perpetrated by those whom they believe to be "Right Wing."

Your post leaves me wondering if there are Jewish freepers here at FR.

There are lots. I don't remember which are which other than a few like "Jewbacca" and "Hopalong Ginsburg" because they make a funny to remind us, but there are many, and I regard them as brethren.

I have a hard time supporting US Jews when they are so politically blind and so anti-Israel.

“...no favors.”

It is the same parallel to the blacks voting Rat. Will anyone ever figure this out? It must be a mental disease thingy. Are the Jews being paid off as well? If so, it is not as obvious as the gibsmeedats.

Feel the same way about liberal Christians who vote left?

AFAIK, it was the USSR that first called national socialists “right wing”, mainly in contrast to themselves.

Also, these days we have Islamic socialism, which is another form of national socialism.

Within the first few weeks of my joining FreeRepublic, and on this very topic, I made some disparaging comments about the US Jews voting the way they do. I was immediately banned. I than learned about some very influential and wonderful conservative Jews on this site. :-)

That is my understanding as well, and their "Journalist" and "Academic" sycophants back here in America endlessly repeated it.

Also, these days we have Islamic socialism, which is another form of national socialism.

Hilter himself expressed admiration for Islam, so yeah, it's about as Nazi of an ideology as you can get. Unfortunately, too many people are just not paying attention.

Don Jr’s wife has some sort of Jewish plus Danish heritage, but was wearing a large Christian cross on the day of their outdoor wedding. I don’t know who performed the ceremony.

I hear you.

Revelation 12:9 does mention that the devil deceives the whole world. He certainly is working overtime now.

That only proves that Liberal Jews and Neocons are either mentally ill, mentally deficient or downright stupid. Hitler broadcast his intentions in Mein Kampf well before he ever got any real power. Hildabeast wrote glowingly of Saul Alinsky, 0bamao hung out with Black racists and multicultural terrorists who extolled the murder of police and others while the only writings of Trump are Art of the Deal and how to be a success in business.

The key word is "Liberal". Liberal Jews, Liberal Blacks, Liberal Whites, Liberal anything.

In any case, my favorite Jew happened to be a carpenter, a fisher of men and the Son of God.

The Bolsheviks always referred to the Mensheviks as the “Right wing” in their disputes. Both were of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. The Mensheviks just weren’t bloodthirsty enough for Lenin and his crew. The Mensheviks were considered collaborators because they worked with others and played nice.
