American Jewry's cherished values

Caroline Glick;  "Decades ago, the sociographer Milton Himmelfarb coined the aphorism that "American Jews earn like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans." And his words ring as true today as ever. Surveys show that roughly 70 percent of American Jews intend to cast their ballots for President Barack Obama's reelection next month."
.... Glick's lengthy, informative article ends with this closing paragraph:
"The most disturbing aspect of the surveys of American Jewish voters is not that they are willing to vote for the most hostile US president Israel has ever experienced in order to remain true to their party. The most disturbing aspect of the American Jewish community's devotion to Obama and the Democrats is that it indicates that the vast majority of American Jews have abandoned their faculties for independent thought and judgment in favor of conformism and slavish partisanship. They have rendered themselves unreachable."

OBAMA'S #SAVAGE COVER-UP OF AN ACT OF WAR AGAINST AMERICA: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN BENGHAZI

Atlas Shrugs   "Despite the lies and blame-game of the Obama administration, we finally have an accurate account of what really happened during the jihadist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, from two two senior State Department officials. 

"It was, without question,  a full-out military attack on the US.

"The Obama administration knew from the start that this was a very well-organized jihadist attack. Blaming our freedoms, our first amendment rights for the jihadist attack, was a second attack on the American people (perhaps even more frightening) perpetuated by the Obama administration.

"The transcript is frightening and deeply disturbing. The Obama administration is at war with the American people, and Americans are dying because of it. This is surely impeachable. Romney ought to be shouting this from the mountain tops."

"The State Department has released a transcript of a briefing that two high-ranking department officials gave to a number of reporters via conference call on October 9." 

You should read it in its entirety; it is the most detailed description I have seen of the events in Benghazi on September 11.

While this is by no means clear, it appears that the State Department may have released the transcript as part of the escalating conflict between Barack Obama and Joe Biden and the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. In their desperation to avoid responsibility for the Benghazi debacle, Obama and Biden have pointed fingers in two directions: at the intelligence community for reporting incorrectly that the incident was a protest over a YouTube video clip, and at the State Department for not providing adequate security for the Ambassador.

Transcript from 9 October:  Background Conference Call With Senior State Department Officials....     ...."Barack Obama, meanwhile, was jetting off to Las Vegas for a fundraiser.  "It was obvious to the reporters on the call that this narrative blows Obama’s evasions sky high:"

Here's Bob Woodward, today on "Fox News Sunday," talking about the what the Obama administration has said about the Benghazi attacks: (Emphasis in the original)

"Well, why are you trying to normalize your security in a situation that's visibly unstable? You even acknowledge that."So you've got a bad policy. And anyone looking at that would say, wait a minute; we are screwed up; we can't normalize here."So that's the first problem. The second problem is, as soon as an ambassador is killed, the president should be more proactive and be out there. "

Ann Althouse adds: "Amazing that Obama was doing this on "Letterman" and "The View" — the day after the attack!"

This is terrible! Shot fired at Denver Obama campaign office (Updated)

9 News   "Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez says there were people inside at the time of the 3:00 p.m. shooting, but no one was hit."

I hate this. Let the left be the source of this kind of hate; they commit hateful acts day after day without press coverage, but this will be plastered all over the news for days. Worst of all, it happened during the day with people inside and the perpetrator did not seem to care who was hurt or killed.
I suspect the people who would be extremely distressed are those of us who want Obama out of office because of concern for what America is becoming under his regime. We want to win with conservative ideas and not for juvenile bragging rights as I see so many Obamites do. This sort of incident brings anger mixed with much joy at places like MSNBC and Obama campaign headquarters, where this will be thrown into our faces with relish.
The next few days the left will be fervidly searching for any sign at all of this loon being linked to the TEA Party.

UPDATE: Fake hate crime alert: Leftists vandalize Denver Democrat HQ; Dems smeared Obamacare foes

"I called out GOP fake hate crime perpetrator Ashley Todd last year and have documented a long list of hoax crimes across party, racial, and gender lines for nearly two decades.

"So, the latest case of so-called progressives vandalizing a Democrat headquarters in Denver comes as no surprise. And neither does the initial attempt by Colorado Democrats to blame “hate” by “the other side” and to shamelessly tie the crime to town hall protesters.  Meet the hoaxer:" Michelle Malkin.

Hat tip to Michael Swartz, who is best known for his website, called monoblogue (www.monoblogue.us) as well as his first book, entitled "So We May Breathe Free: Avoiding Ineptocracy." Michael reminded me of an incident  long forgotten that needs to be brought up.
