Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the perspective from Dennis Prager.
He presents a reasonable proposition.
1. While many Roman Catholics [especially nominal ones] and liberal Protestant's who generally reject the infallibility of scripture embrace liberalism, many do not.
2. Yes many Jews [excluding Orthodox generally] look to government as a solution despite the fact that many governments have persecuted them since ancient times.
3. There are liberals in Australia, Canada, Germany, France [including my cousin] who are embracing socialism. Thankfully many do not embrace socialism in those nations.
4. Ironically eastern Europe rejects socialism by and large since they experienced it enacted in the Warsaw pact.
"A few days ago, the Jewish community observed Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is meant to be a time of intense self-examination. In light of that, I offer this column.
The question I receive more than any other from non-Jews is: Why are so many Jews on the left?
Before addressing it, I should note that the same question could be asked of Christians and other non-Jews. Why have so many mainstream Protestants and Catholics (up to and including the pope) embraced the left? Why have nearly all blacks, the majority of Hispanics and Asian Americans, the most successful ethnic group in America, embraced the left? And outside of the United States, why have most Germans, French, Canadians, Australians and others in the West embraced the left?
...
Every violent demonstration (also known as "riots") over the past six months has been a left-wing riot.
Why, then, does this left-wing destruction not frighten America's Jews? Do they not know the more power the left has, the less freedom they and all other Americans will have? Do they not know how much Black Lives Matter, antifa and the rest of the left loathe Israel? Or do they not care? (The answer is that, increasingly, many American Jews do not care — especially young Jews, who have been raised by left-wing teachers and left-wing media.) How do they not recoil when statues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are violently removed?
Do American Jews not know that the unique esteem in which they (and Israel since 1948) have been held in American society has been entirely due to the Judeo-Christian roots of America's values and its Judeo-Christian identity? Do they not know that in a post-Christian America, they will be just another minority and that, as the left gains influence, nonleft Jews (specifically religious and pro-Israel Jews) will be singled out for opprobrium? (Just look at how Jewish students who publicly identify as Jews, let alone as pro-Israel Jews, are treated on many American campuses.)
We conservatives know the answer to the question, "How did the country that gave the world Beethoven give the world Nazism?"
The answer: Civilization is fragile."
