A Current Reaffirmation Of How The Democratic Party Left OTR Some Years Ago

Is there room in Congress for more hate?

Charles Barron is a dangerous radical communist and anti-Semite. And the Democrats are about to nominate him for US Congress two weeks from today. Let’s face it, this isn’t your daddy’s Democrat Party anymore.

This is a terrible turn of events on all fronts. Read more about it here. There's more about Barron here. It is unbelievable that the party of Roosevelt, Truman, and Kennedy would tolerate such a vile individual.

More Weimar History Repeats Itself

A festival in Hanover, Germany was interrupted today when Arab youths stoned a Jewish dance group. The politics may be different, but the very act and message are hauntingly like the Germany we saw almost a century ago. John Hinderaker has some comments and a link to the full story here.

Anti-Semitism

The rise of anti-Semitism in the developed world in the last decade is one of the most disturbing events on the planet. Here are some observations:

Israel must surely lie at the heart of the West [Western civilization] itself;

It may be some consolation to an ever-lonelier Israel that . . . in the coming Europe the Europeans will be the new Jews;

[There are] vastly different reactions to Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza and the far higher number of Pakistani civilian casualties of the American drone war;

Democrats were especially prone to blaming Jews [for the financial crisis]. This is somewhat surprising given . . . the fact that Jews are a central part of the Democratic Party's electoral coalition;

Anti-Semitism is an irrational disorder, supported by a large segment of our most capable rationalizers (academics, the Media), and not amenable to interpretation.

In this post, Shrinkwrapped uses these observations and their sources to weave some very useful thoughts on anti-Semitism. Be sure to read the links and the comments. This assignment is a tad long, but well-worth the effort.
