Jews, Muslims, and the Democrats

I work in internet marketing. A huge amount of work by Search
Engine Optimization types is devoted to becoming a "trusted source".
Once you become a trusted source for something you can sell just about anything related to it.

Commentary is not a "trusted source" for liberal jews in the way that NBC,CBS,ABC, NYTimes, Hollywood--are trusted sources.

[westmichman]

These "untrusted sources" in Commentary are often policy insiders for the U.S Government. The government trusts them but their Jewish colleagues do not. Go figure.

[westmichman]

That was pretty cold.

[ckilmer]

The simple way to say what I said above -- would be: "for reasons of their own -- liberal jews don't like republicans."

[masadaman]

Agree. Also, the 88% is an exit poll used by the Democrats but not deemed reliable according to the Republican Jewish Coalition which represents over 25,000 dedicated conservatives. Its figure is 76%.

When a majority of Jews in that Minnesota congressional district vote for Keith Ellison, a Muslim, instead of the other candidate, who is a Jew, that is just a bit much to take. There is no hope for people who are that stupid.

The way most American Jews act in these times offers me an explanation for how the German Jews acted in the 1930s (and no, I am NOT saying that the times are analogous), that is, against their own interests.

A large majority of German Jews acted in their best interests, they left Germany. Unfortunately some could find no where to go, and many were able only to flee to countries like France and Poland, which later fell.

The largest enclave of Jewish voters in Minnesota's 5th Congressional district is in the first ring suburb of St. Louis Park. Here's a link the the MN Secretary of State website: http://electionresults.sos.state.mn.us/20061107/PrecRptByCounty.asp?rq=27HENNEPIN&M=CTY&CtyCd=27&CtyNm=HENNEPIN Scroll down on this page to the St. Louis Park precincts. That will give you the clearest view of SLP voting patterns and will show you that they (ethnic Jews) were voting in droves for ethnic suicide. There is a large community of Orthodox Jews living here, but I'm not sure which precinct they're in. They might have voted different from the more secular and liberal faith Jews - at least I hope so.

Doesn't matter how they voted. Over 600,000 people live in the 5th district. There are only 40,000 or so Jews in the entire state. No way they could overcome the support for Ellison. A lousy 4,000 or so Muslims. Face it, if there's a religious connection to Ellison's election, which I doubt, it's the Christians.

[SJackson]

I look at all this and wonder (sometimes) "Why bother?". They seem bent on their own destruction and if anyone gets in their way or speaks truth to them, he is an "anti-Semite". Why should I care and try to help them if they won't even help themselves?

You shouldn't. I hope you feel the same way about those Lutheran lutefiskers that elected him.

There is the famous story During WWII of the ship full of jewish refugees that came near the USA-- but was returned to Europe and its fate.

However, this was during FDR's democratic administration. So why don't the democrats get unending grief for this injustice.

Because the story was the same everywhere, and across parties in the US. It's not like the Republicans (or anyone else) cared.

Maybe, but democratic dominance in government during that period was pretty overwhelming. Of course it should be said for the democrats that they are mostly crosses at the military cemetary at Normandy.

Many did leave, but many did not since they thought "this couldn't be happening to ME." That is why--even in the face of continuing rumors about the dreadful fate that awaited them--they stayed within the "system." Too many packed cattle cars and too few Warsaw Ghetto Uprisings.

That's possible, but about 70% left, and plenty couldn't find a place to "leave" to. Personally, I've seen nothing to make me believe denial was a factor. And no, those who stayed didn't forsee that extermination was their ultimate fate. Germany was, after all, a civilized European nation.

I'm Jewish and just about every Jew I know is self sufficient and would never go on welfare.

Hell when my dad took off on us, my mom was left with 3 small kids, no education and no skills.

But she took any work rather than going on welfare and eventually became a nurse.

And when our apartment burnt down we kids forced our mom to go get $600 from the Red Cross. She paid them back every red cent. Who the hell pays the Red Cross back??? Not those from Katrina I'm sure.

But how did she vote all her life, democrat.

Hell me being a Jew I don't get it either.

You're correct in that Ellison would've been elected no matter what. I agree completely and said numerous times on this board that he'd be elected no matter what - the RATs in my district (Ellison's 5th) are nuts.

To say, however, that the Christians elected him is pretty far removed from the truth. If you mean that were all, by default, Christians because we live in a so-called Christian nation, well, I guess I can grudgingly give you that. It is wrong, though, because most people who identify themselves as Christian and especially those of traditional Christian beliefs don't vote that way at all.

In addition, what I was interested in was the voting behavior of Jews in the 5th. Outside of Highland Park in St. Paul, St. Louis Park has more Jews that any other POU I can think of. I don't assert Ellison won by the Jewish vote, but I was curious as to how Jews voted. I would wager (after looking at the breakdown) that a fair portion of them voted for Tammy Lee because of Ellison's stink. However, I would also bet many of them voted for him simply because many of them are brain dead voters like so many other Minnesotans. Terminal stupidity is blind to race, ethnicity and color and in the end it even ignores survival.

Here is one source for my statement. I would recommend this amazing book. And, I disagree with nothing you wrote.
