How Open-Minded Are Jewish Liberals?

Jewish liberals, like other liberals, believe that there are three positive traits that describe liberals far more accurately than they describe conservatives — compassionate, intellectual and open-minded.

Well, I will give them the intellectual in an orthodox, structured, ivory-tower academia kind of way, but their notable lack of true open-mindedness greatly interferes with any meaning beyond that.  To them, 'Open-minded' is limited to non-judgmentally accepting everyone else's bad life and lifestyle decisions as valid in a Crowleyesque sort of way, it has nothing whatsoever to do with being able to think flexibly or calmly evaluate and if indicated, accept any new ideas.

On compassion, it is to laugh.  It's tied up with the same problem as their alleged open-mindedness.  More atrocities and genocidal episodes occurred in the 20th Century from 'progressive' thinkers trying to renovate society than were perpetrated by simple innate human brutality and score-settling.
Go and tell the Spartans, O traveler passing by
That here, obedient to their law, we lie.

Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting at least twice.

You Ain't such a Dumb Ass Tanker you are a thinking man.

Liberal Jews have to be 3 generation Americans.  It was their Great grand Parents that lived back in Europe and faced just what was unbelievable to them and to us today. The 1920-2010 a good span of years to forget.

Somehow all this has been reversed, the Jews never want to see religious persecution again and go to the Matt to defend any such persecution of others.

However, in doing so they open the door and invite inside people that still want to eat them alive.  They do not see that the wolf in sheep's clothing is very near it is the people not the faith that will make a Sabbath meal of them.

One protects themselves from all enemy's, the Muslim world has declared  " If you Ain't Muslim then you die."

Time for the Jews and Christians to unite together to protect ourselves from repeating history.  Rally round the flag boys.

There will be no camps or gas ovens, this time it will be a taking over of our lives and traditions, our laws and our kids lives.

I have been watching the news about a high school that has their foot ball team practice at night as some of the players are Muslim and at this season must fast.  So the hell what ?? It is their choice to follow their faith, do these players avoid Meat on Fridays for the Catholic players.??

Sorry to the Jews on this forum, I think of Israel, how it was begun and the years of fighting to keep their people safe.  Now this has come to America, same old song and dance and the American Jews don't yell stop this crap before it is too late.

The Mantra of the Holocaust Museum is never again, well people need to look at the facts, it is happening again and we Christian or Jew will be in for it.
