i live in liberalpukeville, NY; 2 miles from the clintons and 1 mile from cuomo and i can tell you there is outrage from the majority of Jewish people i know against obama/cuomo/demoKrats....sheer outrage...

many of them whisper it while some are very outspoken on how they despise liberal politics...

Yes, I think you almost got it right. Although more precisely it is not so much that conservatives are uneducated as it is that the uneducated are conservative. Bearing in mind that “uneducated” is a euphemism for “Unenlightened”. And if one is conservative, uneducated and has a smidgen of religion, they are therefore unenlightened. Today we are measured by how enlightened we are, on the spectrum of the more liberal you are the more enlightened you are. But, to be on the safe side, stay paranoid (because total global enlightment can only be achieved via a purge).

Many of those big Hasidic families are also heavy consumers of welfare, food stamps and Medicaid.

So don't count them as a conservative voting bloc just yet.

Meanwhile, the ethnic group which has the highest percentage of high-school dropouts votes 95% Dem.

In his book The Jew in American Politics (New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House, 1968), Nathaniel Weyl made the case, more than 40 years ago, that Jews should be conservatives.

That group got early enlightenment. No need for further education.

The survey found among New York Jews fast-rising levels of poverty that appear to be unparalleled in recent history.

That's pretty much a national trend.

“I think he is just saying that a diverse community presents problems, whereas a community of diversity is a good thing. And that diverse diversity is best case. Because a diverse community is divided, and a community of diversity isn’t. He is making a statement that has the words “diverse” and “diversity” in one sentence. So he obviously knows what he is talking about.”

Good one

Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.

Let us hope so.

Unfortunately, even Charedi Orthodoxy isn't always a sign of Republican or conservative affiliation. Historically, the traditional leaders of Jewish communities have had to be on good terms with whomever is in power (and in urban America, that means liberals). Furthermore, they have looked to whomever is in power to protect them from the mob (which in Europe was rural chrstian "bumpkins"). Those same rulers often used the Jews to do their dirty work (such as collecting taxes), which took the wrath of the masses off themselves and put it squarely on the Jews.

There are other issues at work as well. As a largely parochial, inward-focused community (and one for which the society gets "multiculturalism" points), Charedi Jews simply have not had to deal with the sewer directly. They have had the luxury of living in islands of Theocracy championed by liberals who regard their religion merely as a de-criminalized deviancy in need of protection from "decent people" (much like "gays"). But Jews are far from the only population group to benefit from this. The ancient oriental chrstian communities (Syrian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Armenian, Indian, Assyrian) and even Eastern Orthodoxy are extremely quietistic and extremely ethnic, living in worlds of their own where confrontation with secular political authority simply does not exist.

And yes, these groups still see the majority population as a danger as great as or even greater than the State itself. And American-style Fundamentalist Protestants living in other cultures have the exact same attitude.

Half-hearted "BOOLSHHIITE" call.

Hillary bought these "Conservative" Jewish votes quite easily by making deals with their head rabbis. Does anyone really expect a majority Republican vote from the very same people who practically invented European Socialism?

I take that as a lefthanded/underhanded/backhanded swipe meaning conservatives are uneducated................or am I paranoid?

No, you're *not* paranoid. "Uneducated", in liberal parlance means 'the indoctrination didn't take, or take fully'. It is an article of faith among leftists that *any* deviation from their line of BS means you'r ignorant (uneducated)...

Orthodox Jews did not invent European socialism. Numerous non-Jewish Europeans contributed to the making of European socialism.

Since I'm not Jewish and live in the rural Upper South, it's not first hand experience. It's just historical fact. But thanks for the compliment.

Not all demographic shifts are against us. Consider this, in another generation current trends could mean that NYC Jews become a GOP voting block.

When Baraq Obastard announced his support of gay marriage black pastors across the country publically berated him and many went on national television saying that they could / would not support him in the upcoming election.

He lost less than 1% of the black vote over that. I will believe it when I see it.
