This is HUGE. Maybe even signifying a sea change in the demographics of the vote makeup in New York State. To take Chuck Schumer’s old seat, not only the combination of Weiner’s escapades and the anti-Israeli positions of the current and now failing obama regime, is but a sign of the growing integration of Orthodox Jews into the fabric of the American mainstream.
For years, the urban Jewish population has held itself apart from the principles and traditions of the Protestant and Catholic hordes that surround them, perhaps in remembrance of the painful past their forefathers has suffered in Europe. But once in America, many of these old stereotypes began to fade, with the awakening of the spirit of what is uniquely American in the hearts and minds of these sons of previous immigrations.
America has been the shining beacon on the hill. Though the illumination has become somewhat dimmed of recent years, we can and will shine forth again, if anything, even more brightly than before.
But first, let us remember we are Americans.
It's one thing to vote for socialism when it's just an ideological feel-good thing. It's a whole different story when your own income and assets, and those of your children, are on the line.
But first, let us remember we are Americans.
May God bless and keep Israel and America.
