well, the Jewish relationship with the Bolsheviks and one has to pick one's words carefully.

My comment had nothing to do with 'Jews' relationship with the 'Bolsheviks' or Jews being Communists. That is obviously not the case in America.

But it had everything to do with the Hard Left in America -- and no, not the FDR New Deal liberals which is where many Jews gravitated. FDR was not a Commie and neither were most people who thought (mistakenly) that he was right, and still think so.

The hard left hated the FDR liberal types even before FDR and set out to destroy them, and they have pretty much succeeded in that effort over the last 30 or so years.

The old John L. Lewis type union leaders who really did care about the workers have been replaced by Hard Left ideologues like John Sweeney and Rich Trumpka who don't give a damn if every factory or coal mine in the country shuts down and puts those same workers on the street as long as it furthers their leftist agenda to destroy capitalism. The Left ain't the same as 'Liberals.'

Conservatives and Liberals could agree on things and find a way through disagreements. Conservatives and Leftists can never agree, and the problem we have today is there are really no Liberals anymore. The hard left owns the Democrat party, lock, stock and barrel.

From Walter Duranty in the 1920s, though Alger Hiss in the 40s and 50s, Jane Fonda and Bill Ayres in the 60s, to their current crop lead by Barak Obama, the leadership has never been Jews. None of the prominent hard left leaders in the US have been Jews.

There have been operatives like the Rosenbergs or Alinskies, but the bulk of the movement has always been strictly non-demoninational and mostly non-Jews.

For the hard left, their only religion and heritage is Marx. Nothing else matters for them. They don't compromise.

Yes, Liberals and Hard-leftists are different. I look at Liberals as being Victorian -- these were the folks who fought against child labor, 80 hour weeks etc., but I see their purpose as being spent
