I'm a New-York-born-and-bred Jew.

Younger, informed Jews--secular as well as religious--do get it. Many are voting Republican.

But you are right. Too many older Jews--the older New York émigré is the quintessential example--have an irrational (ultimately self-defeating) fear of the right. The left will lose them to attrition eventually, but the question is the rate. We no longer have the luxury of time….

I have an older relative who was actually in the WTC in 1993, at the time of the first attack by al Qaeda. Yet he continues to support the feckless, corrupt, self-serving clintons, who did nothing for 8 years other than amass their power, tweak their legacy and line their pockets as they aided and abetted the terrorists.. No amount of evidence and rational argument will move this person even to rethink his position.

People like this relative of mine made the Holocaust possible.

I need to see numbers, but I know what Mia says is true - to some degree. Like the increasing defection of the minority vote, particularly blacks, a slow trickle is bleeding from the RAT bloc. What the numbers are and what will it mean in the future - who knows. One thing is certain, the RAT lock on minorities and their moral leadership is gone.

Imagine the party that supported slavery, crafted Jim Crow laws and voted more heavily as a percentage (in spite of being the majority party) against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 being declared as the party of love, tolerance and opportunity for disenfranchised minorities. A total erasure of their past (well, Sheets Byrd is under cover these days) in less than 40 years. In fact, the zenith of their hypocritical act was at the very time they were voting against the CRA in '64.

That should tell the observant something about the power of media to shape public perceptions and, thus, opinion.

Well, that's a little harsh. By and large, no one could conceive, let alone know what the Nazis were planning. Now however, the risk to this country, Israel, Jews and any westerners is so clear, and what with the history of the Holocaust in living memory...speaks even worse for Democrat supporters.
