Canary in the Coalmine? An American Jewish Conservative who is scared.

Well, it's done. Whether Romney won or lost on his own merits or not is immaterial. Obama won, and he did it with the help of 70% of my fellow Jews.

I want to remind those idiots of the example of the Judenrat of the Warsaw Ghetto, the SonderKommando of Auschwitz. Jews helped other Jews die with no fuss or muss for their killers. They did so to save their own skins.

Perhaps the stakes were not quite life and death last night. That remains to be seen. But what does remain is this: 70% of American Jews actually voted for a man who is at best, antithetical to any success we as Jews have had in this country. His constituency has anti-Semites, race-hustlers, and poverty pimps and they seek to reduce all boats to their level. Jews in the end will be in the proverbial gunsights, and perhaps, the literal ones. But yet, we'll vote for the people who in their own private circles, see us as no different from the other "white people" they hate.

Why the blinders? Why the unwillingness to see? Because American Jews refuse to see it. We think it's all that "terrible man Bush's fault". That "terrible man" did more for Jews as a whole than this guy. But we put in a man who endangers our future as a whole, and us as a specific. We've been a hard-working, successful people. Who do you think is going to get hit by those new taxes, penalties and regulations they want? But hey, keep the blinders on, fellow Jews. Tell yourselves "He's civilized, he's a good man". Tell yourself that when they take it all away from you. The German Jews said something similar in 1933. I won't kid myself. And to my fellow FReepers, Jewish and Gentile? I wouldn't kid myself either.

The vengeance they want is coming, and they will get it, hook or crook. All we can do is pray, prepare, and in the meanwhile? Survive and prepare for the day we can take it back. But when we do, it's time to remember another Jewish proverb. "An eye for an eye." It's time.

yes. Must be on-guard and even more vigilant. It is the new normal.
