The American liberal Jewish community needs to wake up and realize that they have been supporting the very types of people who led to the Third Reich.
I am also very, very tired of hearing the phrase ‘far right’. Define ‘far right’ in the context of American society.
- People who believe that America is a special nation that is worth preserving?
- People who believe in God and that there is meaning beyond ourselves?
- People who believe in preservation of the nuclear family as the bedrock of our society?
- People who believe in personal freedom?
- People who believe that life can be both difficult and wonderful and that each of us needs to do our best to make our own way (i.e. personal responsibility)?
- People who believe that biologically there are only two sexes?
- People who believe that those in government serve at the privilege of the rest of us, and that their power in society should be limited and their tenure short?
- etc. etc.
Are these sins? Are these radical positions?
There are no far left and far right. Communism and Fascism are just different forms of totalitarianism.
I think the meaning of the term “nuclear family “ by necessity needs adjustment. It should include any grand and great grand parents living and immediate aunts and uncles and 1st cousins.
Otherwise I’m all for the importance of the “nuclear family”.
We’ve let social scientists whittle down the term “family” to “nuclear family” and then let them turn the term into a pejorative with which to bash conservatives.
No I’m not for “two mommies” families...not talking about that sort of thing. I’m talking about the horror that we’ve allowed families to become too “distended” in their relationships with grand parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Sometimes splits do happen because of politics or divorces...lots of reasons. Still, I’m all for efforts to support strong nuclear and extended family relationships. Nuclear and immediate level extended families are our first line against tyranny!
