A Leauki's Writings

A survey conducted by the Boston Review in its May/June issue shows that nearly 25% of American non-Jews blame “the Jews” a moderate amount or more for the financial crisis.

Furthermore, a total of 38.4% of the non-Jews in the U.S.attribute at least some level of blame to the group.

...

They found that Democrats were significantly more prone to blaming Jews than Republicans: while 32% of Democrats accorded at least moderate blame, compared to only 18.4% of Republicans.

So why exactly do progressive educated people have a tendency to blame "the Jews" while backwards rednecks are apparently able to see beyond that spiel? What are the "elite" educated in?

My guess is that the 18.4% of Republicans mentioned are classical RINOs, Klansmen and others who joined the part of Lincoln for some other reason than freeing black slaves.

But who are the 32% of Democrats? Home owners who took mortgages they couldn't pay back? Harvard-educated liberal professors with an excellent career in the social sciences because all the physicists and chemists were Jews? Formerly oppressed black people told by the white elite that another minority was to blame for their misery?

It's difficult to tell, isn't it?

So who should I vote for if I were American?

As DRG. has already said, interesting article and comments.

Until your article, I really hadn't thought of it in these terms.

And now that I've seen it, Barney Frank and Charles Schumer come to mind...both are big players in the current ecomonic crisis.

In my view it has little to nothing to do with the fact they are Jews, but rather with the fact they are LIBERALS who have some power who use it to do nothing but look out for themselves.

I think that both side want what is best for your country and the people in it

One should note that US liberalism as compared to other nations, does not necessary equate in meaning. You are correct that each side wants what is "best" for the country. The thing is what is their idea of best? Even the KKK has a notion of what is best for the country. I agree with Doc, the far left (and that does include a chunk of liberals) have really creeped me out over race relations in the last 20 years or so. Maybe I just started paying more attention. As Doc said, they accuse the right (Republicans in general) of racism to shut off any criticism. After all who listens to "no you do" arguments after it starts? Plus if it is said often enough it must be true. Mainly it is to perpetuate a stereotypical backwardness (as was done to Palin for example). Yet when actual examples of it surface (Biden and Reid statements come to mind) it is glossed over as an innocent gaff.

One just has to look at the handling of the New Black Panthers voter intimidation case by this administration to get a sense of "equality" in America today. Any fraud, by anyone should have been dealt with quickly and harshly. As long as groups strive to keep themselves dependent on the government handouts, it appears to be fine with this administration. They know the mob is never satisfied. and are using class warfare to its advantage, at least until it can tighten restrictive controls enough, adding a sprinkling of entitlements for "acceptable" behavior. They wouldn't want the population turning on them while they set themselves up nicely (health care "reform" for you, special health plans for them, cap and trade for you, carbon credit dollars, big homes, and private planes for them).

They must feel somewhat comfortable, because more and more of them are stepping into the light and making their intentions known.They promise everything except a days fair pay of a days honest work. It's all about control. If only they can get past that pesky constitution (they keep trying). Hopefully people will wake up and say enough is enough.

I suppose so.

Exactly. What is "best" for one might be "worse" for someone else. Citizens of all backgrounds working together toward the "common good" has long gone by the wayside. We aren't a "melting pot" any more.

My disgust with the inability to view individuals as such reaches new heights (depths?).

Just find the smallest such group. Label it, demonize it and blame it using the labellers' own inadequate intellect/personality and presto, there's a Holocaust, pogrom or farhood.

Just don't ask for whom the bell tolls: It tolls for you.

Does this mean a redneck from Alabama is less likely to be an anti-Semite than an educated liberal student in Berkeley?

Who would have thought.

I keep on telling that to people and they keep on not getting it.

Always the assumption that by being a republican jew I am allying with the KKK and that somehow conservative means redneck bigot who blames "The Jews" for everything.

Yet somehow the constant bigotry of the left goes unmentioned...

In my view it has little to nothing to do with the fact they are Jews, but rather with the fact they are LIBERALS who have some power who use it to do nothing but look out for themselves.

The same polls that tell me that jews are all liberals also told me bush was losing the election by a landslide, and many other misleading statistics. I wonder how accurate those polls are... Most jews I see here in texas are conservative and quite sensible about the whole thing.

Maybe they only poll jews in harvard for their political opinion.

Who is Eric Cantor? sounds like I would like to hear what he has to say.

BTW, one of my favorite talk radio hosts is mark levin. The guy is awesome, and is a jewish conservative.
