Tragedy and Ideology
Am I the only one who sees just a hint of irony in the many reform and conservative Jews who are questioning the Jew status of other Jews who might dare to welcome the President in Pittsburgh?
In the wake of this tragedy, it is sad to see how many people are literally unable to separate differences in political ideology from the most virulent forms of extremism. In all sincerity and with absolutely no shame, the media and the left (basically indistinguisable at this point) equate anything other than unrepentent condemnation of anything even remotely Republican as being just as bad as the shooter himself. It is basically the mainstream view at this point that those who are not even conservative, but dare to break bread with the other side in a show of unity, are contributing to the climate of hate and intolerance that breeds these monstrous acts.
This country is in trouble.
