| I've just been saying that American protestantism and Orthodox Jews are the biggest obstacles to the spread of Islam and Marxism, and that is why they hate us.
In fact, at the same time Europe was losing its Jews, it was losing its Christians. The dominant religion in Old Europe today is a kind of arrogant agnosticism, devolving into paganism or self-denied Nature worship -- self-denied because they disguise it as "scientific" environmentalism, even though the "science" is bogus... indistinguishable from magical thinking propagated by witch doctors, except that theirs wear white lab coats. We have the same forces operating here, but for some reason they have not been nearly as successful. They occupy our academies and our media, but their proselytizing still falls on mostly deaf ears. I think it comes down to hope and fear. Those who hold a deep belief in God tend to view the future with hope. The prospect of facing the world "alone" (individualism) does not scare them because they do not see themselves as being alone. Those who have no God can only be terrified of what the future might bring, and so they seek multi-lateral, socialistic, "community" solutions to their constant fear of being trounced by the fates. I suspect it has more to do with that, than it does with the presence of Jews. Jews just happen to be an instance of people who see more hope than fear. But they are not alone in that. |
You raise an interesting point, and it is one that the author totally ignores. About halfway through that article, alarm bells started going off in my head as it became apparent that this author was insinuating that Jews are the source of all creativity, and that without its Jews, Europe was an essentially non-creative, fascism-prone basket case. Well, there's anti-Semitism, and then there's that, which to me sounds like the flip side of the same coin.
