Y’know What The Effect Of The Occupy People Is Going To Be?
One thought is this – the Occupy people will be the ones who absolutely finish off Jewish support for Obama and/or the Democrat Party.
It’s always been a very difficult phenomenon to explain – why a demographic group which is so overwhelmingly middle-to-upper-middle class, so overrepresented by professional people and entrepreneurs and so generally involved with charities has also been so historically wedded to the Democrats.
For all of that, they got Obama. Who is the least friendly president to American Jews (and Jews worldwide, for that matter).
And the Obama people are at least tacitly supporting the Occupy movement.
Which contains this person.
How much of this can go on, on top of everything else causing concern with the Jewish community where Obama is concerned, before the Democrats’ hold on that demographic gets broken?
I’ve had it explained to me that the main thing which poisoned the well for Republicans with the Jewish vote was that 100 years ago or so when the bulk of the Eastern European Jews were immigrating to the country, the East Coast GOP establishment treated them like dirt and in doing so married them to the Democrat Party. Given that there was a good deal of socialist utopian thought in that community in the late 19th century (for example Theodore Herzl, the founder of the Zionist movement, was a dyed-in-the-wool socialist), it wasn’t hard to see that group gravitate to Progressive Democrat leanings in the first part of the 20th century and for those leanings to take root.
But we’re in a much different time now. And so it no longer necessarily makes sense for the Democrats to get three-quarters of the Jewish vote.
Who defends Israel? Conservatives.
Who’s most interested in preserving religious freedom? You can say conservatives are too jingoistic about Christianity, but if you’re a Jew and you want to be left alone you might be better off with folks who see their religious tradition as originating from yours rather than people who are hostile to the entire idea of religious expression in the public square.
Who’s worried about the invasion of Islam onto the world stage? Conservatives. Nobody should be more concerned about that than Jews, seeing as though they’re the easiest victims when Muslims take over. You don’t even have to look at Israel to see that; just look at the way Muslims have bullied Jews in places like France and Great Britain and the Netherlands and if you’re a Jew you might want to make sure Islam is held at bay here.
Who finds anti-Semitism most culturally unacceptable? Certainly, conservatives. A side occupied by the Louis Farrakhans, Jeremiah Wrights and Keith Ellisons of the world can’t claim common cause with Jewish Americans. Does the GOP have a few scary people where Jews are concerned? Sure. Ron Paul’s hands aren’t clean and neither are Pat Buchanans. On the whole, though, you’re typical mainstream Republican seems a lot friendlier than some of the clowns in the streets if you’re Jewish.
Who hates the professions Jews are heavily represented in? Not conservatives. Conservatives generally like people who have professions in general, but outside of plaintiff attorneys – in which there are a representative number of Jewish folks – if you’re looking for somebody who trashes you for what you do for a living you’re looking for a lefty. Particularly if you’re a banker or otherwise occupied in the financial field, if you’re a doctor, if you’re involved in retail or real estate or if you’re in the entertainment business – though I’ll admit that the last has lots of critics on the Right based on content. Naturally, it’s a grand assumption to say these are the places you’ll find Jews in the workplace. The point is, however, that the people in these industries (which are, in fact, areas in the workforce where Jewish Americans have done outstanding work and have made their mark on society) really shouldn’t have any interest in redistributionist policies.
And on, and on.
Obama and his left-wing cabal are doing yeoman work to drive away the Jewish vote. At some point those efforts simply have to pay off and folks like Miz Patricia McAllister can take credit for driving two percent of the population from “D” to “R” – and moving states like New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania from blue to red in the process.
It’s startling that the Progs are no longer bothering to mask their Marxism, their anti-Semitism and their anti-Christianity. Those masks are being remmoved proudly and publicly and that should infuriate, if not terrify, every decent person on the planet. Given our institutions are saturated with Progs, it will be left up to “we the people” to stop this malevolence, but will we? Evil things happen when good people do nothing.
This type of “propaganda” is why we will loose the middle and thus the next presidential election. We take a clip of one dumb ass and try to use that to reflect the entire group. The economy is in the position it is because WE allowed our Representatives to repeal the Glass Stegall act, and relaxed regulations on Wall Street, which allowed them to invest their profits in risky deals, it has become evident that we must regulate industries that have that much effect on our economy as their idea of self regulation is a scorched earth policy. I have always been a Republican because i believed that WE were the responsible party… But ever since WE took over the House and Senate and then the Presidency it has been our party that has disemboweled the middle class, and they are, after all, the driving force in our economy. That’s why i will support Huntsman in his race to lead the Republican ticket against Obama. He is the only one that speaks to the middle and he is the only one that moderates will flock to and away from our current President.
Read ”The Creature from Jekyll Island” The woman has a serious point.
The Federal Reserve System is a network of 12 central banks to which most national banks belong and to which state chartered banks may belong. Individuals and privately owned banks own the stock of the FED. The FED is the only for-profit corporation in America that is exempt from both federal and state taxes. Today, the FED banks are not only owned and controlled by CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) members but they are liberally staffed with them as well.So, who are actually the major owners of the 12 central banks? They are: Rothschild Bank of London: Warburg Bank of Hamburg; Rothschild Bank of Berlin; Lehman Brothers of New York; Lazard Brothers of Paris: Kunn Loeb Bank of New York; Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy; Goldman Sachs of New York; Warburg Bank of Amsterdam and Chase Manhattan Bank of New York. All our paper money has the words Federal Reserve Note written across the top of the bill. And that is exactly what it is, a note of obligation. The obligation is that of the United States Government, and the party to whom the obligation is owed, is the private corporation referred to as the FED. Almost everyone thinks that the money they pay in taxes goes to the U.S. Treasury to pay the expenses of the government. Do you want to know where our tax dollars really go? Look on the back of any check made payable to the IRS and you will see it has been endorsed as, ”Pay any F.R.B. Branch or Gen. Depository for credit U.S. Treas. This is in payment of U.S. Oblig.” The FED takes in about one trillion dollars per year, tax free and those banking families get a large portion of that money in interest payments. Goldman Sachs received billions from TARP 1 and were we repaid? So how did they repay us? They shut down their office in New York, laid off over 1,000 people and moved their main office to Bejing China. The bankers are loyal to their banks….not any country. Their patrotism only extends to their next 30 pieces of silver. This is the “Zionism” the woman was speaking of.
