After mentioning the Heritage Foundation in one of my columns in the Staten Island Advance, I received an invite to their annual Christmas party at the Union league Club in Manhattan.
After exchanging a few words with a reporter from Associated Press, he said. "How come a woman like you, who grew up in the barrio, ended up being a Republican?" My standard answer to that inquiry has always been, "high IQ."
However my answer, while facetious, was not entirely descriptive of my electoral registration choice. It was more my maverick Aquarian nature that compelled me to decline joining my family's traditional devotion to the Democrat Party. Yet my political junkie status began as a teenager, who along with nuns in my H.S. was super excited about JFK's candidacy.
Although I could never vote for him, I followed his campaign religiously, nearly touched his hand on a stop on 23rd street and when of age my first presidential vote went to Democrat Hubert Humphrey. I also volunteered to work for Robert Kennedy's senatorial campaign. I never voted for Richard Nixon and was politically naive until Ronald Reagan ran for president in 1976.
Our local Catholic newspaper ran an article about Reagan and I was very impressed with his political views as they squared with my values. I voted for him in the primary which he lost to President Ford who then lost to Jimmy Carter. After becoming president, His influence on the Republican platform converted me into a bona fide Republican. The Democrat party I grew up with had morphed into the socialist party the nuns had warned against. I also began doing the research of the party after watching the D.W. Griffith film, Birth of a Nation.
This blatantly racist film that had been heralded in Hollywood and was

They are either STUPID, GIMMEDATS,DEVIANTS or HATE America! There are NO others.
better question, why do Jews still vote RAT???
dems give them permission to continue their self-defeating actions while blaming their failures on Whitey. dems then take money from Whitey and give it to minorities, in order to secure votes.
The American ones on the eastern coast seem to be culturally drawn to collectivist ideologies. Maybe someone here can explain why.
something that has baffled me for years
Ironic that this apt question is coming from Jewish World Review when the most dependable extreme liberal democrat voters are New York Jews.
People compartmentalize their lives. There may be a box labeled, “Vote Democrat” that was put into our heads in high school. The contents and context of that box may never be reexamined. So, all the other boxes that occur later, like our knowledge about what happens in Venezuela, for example, are less important because they are further away from the operating center of our beings. Aristotle said, ““Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.”
People vote Democrat because it takes intelligence and introspection to break our early programming. Our schools teach dumbed-down subjects and feelings.
Why does any American vote Demonic?
A: They don’t.
There is one other sub catagory ...they are illegals
She goes on to say that this is a facetious reply.
But it's actually an accurate reply.
Brainwashed by the media, the educational system and socialist commie politicians.
She couldn't understand that Dems vie for killing babies, gay marriage etc etc. It was all about FDR.
“The American ones on the eastern coast seem to be culturally drawn to collectivist ideologies. Maybe someone here can explain why.”
There are a lot of theories. Mine is that historically, Jews were better accepted and more successful when they shed their religious behavior, particularly by non-Jews who were somewhat secular themselves. This was particularly true in the US. Leftism evolved from secularism, and Leftists have adopted a tribe mentality. Members of that tribe will defend it, irrationally, often against their natural self-interests.
Because, unlike many whites, "minorities" at least are capable of understanding their own best interests.
+1
But it's not against their own best interests.
“Why On Earth Do Minorities Still Vote Democrat?”
Because of the same cultural, behavioral, intellectual, character, reasoning flaws that yielded 70 some wounded and 12 dead over the weekend in Chicago.
Of course, I sometimes watch the GOPers in action and wonder “Why in the World do I still vote Republican?”
