Commentary<BR>By Don
Feder<BR>12-01-09</FONT></STRONG><BR><BR>
Among life’s most perplexing mysteries:
<BR><BR> • Why do most Americans
continue to believe Islam is the “religion of peace” – a growing
international death-toll notwithstanding?
<BR><BR> • Why do the French eat
snails and think Jerry Lewis is funny? <B!
R><BR> • Why are women surprised
that many of the men they have sex with have absolutely no interest in
marrying them? <BR><BR> • Why
are the Jews so compulsively/tragically liberal?
<BR><BR> My friend Ira, a
Hasidic Jew who lives in the Boston-area, once told me if he goes to vote
and sees two candidates for an office, and he knows nothing about them
other than that one has a Jewish name and the other doesn’t, he
automatically votes for the non-Jew. He assumes, quite logically, that the
gentile is less likely to be <EM>mushugana</EM> (just plain nuts) than the
Jew. <BR><BR> President Obama –
the clearest evidence yet that most Jews are delusional on matters
political – just appointed Hannah Rosenthal the State Department’s special
envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism.! Apparently, Pat Buchanan was
unavailable. Coming soon: Obama appoints “Da Vinci Code” author Dan Brown
U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.
<BR><BR> Rosenthal sits on the
board of J Street, the Soros-funded, Jewish cell-group which wants
negotiations with the Hitlerites of Hamas, opposes sanctions on the
nuclear-armed Holocaust-deniers of Iran, and believes anti-Semitism is
caused mainly by Israel's survival instinct.
<BR><BR> Obama’s policy toward
Israel has been exactly what you’d expect from someone who sat in church
for 19 years listening to his Afro-centrist preacher spew hatred of
America, Israel and Jews, while fawning on Farrakhan. If B.O. can’t rouse
Jewish voters from their 80-year coma, nothing can. Nothing can.
<BR><BR> An October 3 headline
in The <EM>National Catholic Register</EM> read, “President Obama Finds
Greatest Support Among Atheists and Jews.” At least atheist! s have it
right. <BR><BR> The story
reported on a September Gallup poll that showed 66% of Jewish voters
approve of Obama’s performance, that’s 22 percentage points higher than
the president’s approval rating among the general public at that time, and
27 points higher than his white Protestant support.
<BR><BR> Granted, this is
considerably lower than Obama’s 83% Jewish approval rating in January. But
the president’s ratings from all segments of the electorate have declined
proportionally. <BR><BR>
Israelis (of necessity more connected to reality) don’t share this
euphoria. According to an August <EM>Jerusalem Post</EM> poll, only 4%
believe Obama’s policies are “pro-Israel,” versus the 51% who think Barak
Hussein is “pro-Palestinian.”
<BR><BR> ! People like Norman
Podhoretz (admittedly, a great man) keep writing b ooks with titles like
“Why Are Jews Liberals?" Every other talk show that I do begins with the
question: “Mr. Feder, as a practicing Jew, perhaps you can explain why
most American Jews are so liberal, when self-interest and common sense
dictate the opposite.” <BR><BR>
I can in less than 10 words: “Liberalism is the religion of secular Jews”
– as well as the religion of ex-Catholics, Jack Mormon and many
evangelicals who’ve left the fold.
<BR><BR> Jews and liberalism go
together like bagels and lox, blintzes and sour cream – like ACORN and
voter fraud. Podhoretz tells us that since 1928, Democrats have, on
average, taken 75% of the Jewish vote in presidential elections.
<BR><BR> Despite warning signs
the size of billboards (surrounded by blinking electric lights), Obama
captured 78% of the Jewish vote las! t year, compared with 53% of the
electorate. Other than black voters, Jews remain the Messiah’s most
reliable constituency. <BR><BR>
The standard explanations for Jewish leftism are: 1. Like Judaism,
liberalism calls for succoring the poor and downtrodden (now known as
“social justice” – Marxism by another name) 2. In pre-war Europe,
anti-Semitism was a phenomenon of the right and 3. Having been persecuted
for most of their history, Jews tend to identify with
victims.<BR><BR> These
rationalizations can almost be dismissed out of hand.
<BR><BR> 1. Treating the
stranger justly and providing for the widow and orphan aren’t the essence
of Judaism. Saying Judaism is about charity is like saying Jesus is about
love. (BTW, the Torah says <EM>you</EM> provide for the widow and orphan,
not you take the income of others to support! them.) If there was an
identity between Judaism and liberalism, why a re the Jews who are the
most ignorant of Jewish law (the most Jewishly illiterate) the most
liberal, while those who live, breath and (quite literally) eat Torah
values are the most conservative?
<BR><BR> 2. In pre-war Europe,
anti-Semitism was mostly a phenomenon of the right – except for Marxism
(look at Marx’s writings and the way the commissars treated Soviet Jews)
and National Socialism, another revolutionary movement. Today,
anti-Semitism is almost exclusively the domain of the left and radical
Islam (on which the left dotes). Wherever the left is strongest –
including academia and the mainstream media – there hatred of Israel and
hostility toward Jews is most pronounced.
<BR><BR> 3. Like liberals
generally, Jewish liberals flatter themselves by imagining a bond with the
poor and persecuted. That’s why they seek to keep them in a dependent
state and destroy! the bottom-rung jobs that would lift them out of
poverty. Who is the real victim anyway – the guy who won’t work, or the
guy with a menial job whose taxes support the
drone?<BR><BR> No, we must look
elsewhere for the gnarled roots of Jewish liberalism.
<BR><BR> Above all, Jews are
believers. In fact, they are the original believers. In a world of idols,
fertility rites and infant sacrifice – a world where the strong took what
they wanted – the Jews came with their belief in an invisible, universal
God who demands righteousness and holiness (sacrifices of the heart).
<BR><BR> More than any other
people, Jews must believe in something. When that something isn’t Torah,
it’s something else – scientific determinism, socialism, evolutionism,
animal rights, global warming, transcendental meditation or real-estate i!
nvestment trusts. Of these, liberalism is the most satisfying and most
closely resembles traditional religion.
<BR><BR> Like Judaism and
Christianity, liberalism offers a vision of salvation (the secular liberal
state) and damnation (an eternity of being forced to watch FOX News).
<BR><BR> It has its roster of
saints and sinners. The former include feminists, environmentalists,
gay-marriage activists, the ACLU, NOW, Amnesty International and Ted
Kennedy. Amongst the latter are gun owners, those who drive SUVs, families
with more than four children, oil companies, advocates of intelligent
design and Sarah Palin. <BR><BR>
Each has its rituals. For the left, it’s recycling, multiculturalism, sex
education, Harvey Milk Day, a woman’s “right to choose,” and an activist
judiciary. Liberalism even has its sacred writings – among them “The
Population Bomb,” “The Earth In Balance,&! #8221; “The Feminine
Mystique,” “Dreams of My Father,” and the editorial pages of <EM>The New
York Times.</EM> <BR><BR> There
is a direct correlation between a lack of involvement with traditional
religion and membership in the Church of Liberalism. Voting in the 2000
presidential election precisely paralleled church attendance.
<BR><BR> Those who went to
church more than once a week voted for Bush over Gore by 68% to 32%.
Voters who went weekly favored W. by 58% to 42%. Gore captured the
occasional churchgoers (59% to 41%). Seldom went to church voted
Democratic by 61% to 39%, and the
I-don’t-believe-in-superstitious-mumbo-jumbo backed Gore by 65% to 35%.
<BR><BR> Church
attendance/religious involvement is a greater indicator of voting patterns
than income, education, race or employment.
<BR><BR> ! Jews, who are more
secular than any other segment o f the American people, fit this pattern
perfectly. According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, 39% of
Americans attend religious services weekly, while 56% say religion plays a
“very important” role in their lives. For Jews, those figures are 16% and
31% respectively. <BR><BR> How
the Jews became so secular is another story. Depending on the country and
era, European Jews were circumscribed socially, segregated, limited
professionally, stigmatized, attacked, plundered and murdered en mass.
<BR><BR> Leaving their rabbis
and great teachers behind in Europe for the most part, many who came here
during the great wave of Jewish immigration (1880-1920) were desperately
eager to assimilate and take advantage of American openness and
opportunity. There are stories of Jewish men throwing their tfillin
(phylacteries) overboard as their ship approached these shores.
<BR><BR> ! ; The exception to
Jewish secularism is Orthodox Jews, who attend synagogue religiously and
generally vote Republican. Among the Orthodox, affinity for Republicans
rises from modern Orthodox to very Orthodox to Hasidic. The latter vote
like life-members of the NRA.
<BR><BR> Of an American Jewish
population of 5.3 million, only 10% are Orthodox. That’s changing. Among
Jews under 21, 20% are Orthodox.
<BR><BR> American Jews generally
have a well-below replacement birth rate –1.86 children per woman. They
not only embrace liberalism, they practice it – in terms of late marriage,
no marriage and a desire for small families. In consequence, they are
becoming an endangered
species.<BR><BR> The Jews who do
have large families are overwhelmingly Orthodox. Go to the Crown Heights
or Boro Park sections of B! rooklyn and you’ll see Jewish mothers with 4
or 5 children in to w, and a few more at home. (The birth rate for
Orthodox Jews ranges from 3.3 for the modern Orthodox to 7.9 for Hasidic
Jews.) Go to New York’s Upper East Side, and, instead of pushing
strollers, you’ll see Jewish women cuddling careers in law or investment
banking, with a “life-long partner” at home.
<BR><BR> The problem of Jewish
liberalism will correct itself, as the Orthodox become a greater portion
of the Jewish population and secular Jews go the way of the dodo bird,
which, come to think of it, were non-kosher – like Jewish liberals.<FONT
