Sound Good?
No?
I think a lot more of that has to do with the fact that many influential Jews - doctors, lawyers, businessmen, entertainers - benefit financially from their association with Govco.
Hitler was an atheist so that worked out well. They are Marxists before their faith.
Pray America wakes up
Why did some Jews collaborate with the NAZIs. Progressives are just NAZIs in a shiny new wrapper.
This article is unconvincing that American Jews prefer a party of no values to one of Christian values.
Actually there is a very simple explanation for why Jews vote for Democrats.
The reason: Because their parents did. It’s the traditional way you vote in elections. Your mother and father voted that way. Your grandparents, great grandparents and great great grandparents all voted that way.
Who are you to break with a tradition that binds your people, that holds you together?
Tradition is a very strong factor in Jewish families. In the case of politics that translates to support for Democrats. But I think that tradition will slowly dissolve as Jews wake up to the fact that they are voting against their own best interests.
Wow... the comments under the article are seriously heated.
I was talking about this yesterday, how some believe liberals have no religion or are not religious, and all I could say was “Are you kidding me? Are you for real?” There is NOBODY more hadcore religious on this planet than liberals, NOBODY. Communism is their religion and Capitalism and the US they see as the devil which is why they support radical Islam so much. They see radical Muslims as their brothers in arms against “The great Satan”. But one thing that differs from liberals and Muslims is they believe fascism should be applied to OTHER people not them. Communism is their religion but only OTHER people should live under it not them.
Bottom line is that they are liberals first and Jews second.
BS. Savage nailed it. American jews brought a lot of cultural baggage with them from the old world, including an unhealthy dose of communist thought which persists to this day.
Realize, many "Jews" in America today are secular Jews, or basically agnostic or atheist ethnic Jews. To them, the high holy days are like our secular holidays or our secularized former religious holidays. They take time off work, they "celebrate" the holidays. They ponder things on Yom Kippur, they may even go to the synagogue that one day a year, but it is more a holiday tradition than a truly religious event. Judaism has become like Buddhism to them, feel good practices, a sense of belonging, but without the need for a deity.
To tell the truth, Israel foments this. Their Right of Return is based first and foremost on ethnic Jewishness. There is no requirement to practice the Jewish religion, however professing another faith disqualifies one from immigrating.
This is why most Jews in America vote Democrat. Because most Jews in America are are not significantly religious, and in fact fear religion.
It’s hard to come up with a blog comment for Evan, as he pretty much says it all.
I recently got back in contact with a very close friend whom I had not had contact with for at least 30 years. We both grew up on the East Coast, Jewish, he in Long Island, me in NJ. We were pals from 1970-1986 and went through all manner of adventures together. We are about the same age, and among a hundred other things, we talked about the trials and tribulations of dealing with our aging parents.
In doing so, it became clear that his folks regarded themselves as solid Communists; and weren’t really activists about it, this is what they felt and probably how they voted and simply how they regarded themselves. Very matter of fact.
The idea that communism has been responsible for the greatest mass murders in history and all the other negatives about it and that only in America are you free to think and act that way, whereas in Communist countries you damn well better think and act that way...those thoughts just seem to vanish in the rear view mirror. They just don’t get added into the pan on the balance-scale. Pretty remarkable.
Jews vote liberal because they are of the left, and often it’s leaders and thinkers.
They have always voted democrat in America, except when they could find something viable that was to the left, such as the Socialist party in 1920 that got 38% of the Jewish vote.
Other groups can change their vote, for instance blacks reversed their firm historical voting history in a single election in 1936, and never looked back, but the Jewish vote has never gone republican.
This is really crazy thinking, devoid of any grounding in reality. Everybody has a belief system.
Jews vote for Democrats for the same reason “Christians” and any other Democrats vote for Democrats. They hate God.
Yes. The party that booed God three times at their national convention, and heckled the man that suggested, and insisted they not remove God from their party’s platform. Representing over half of Americans.
Revival might save the US.
But Demonrats weren’t always so anti-religious
I’m sure the Jews voted for the “Catholic” Kennedys, Pelois, Leahy et al
The reason most Jews align with the DemocRat party is because they are secular Jews who don’t closely follow the faith and are liberal politically.
Support Hillary?
Support Palin?
