I have been "keeping my literary powder dry" the past two weeks, as I was wrestling of how best
to convey my thoughts on what is occurring across our country.
But, this week a rather small news story caught my attention and illustrates the depth of the problem,
people gravitating to a concern that is minor compared to major ones.
The story was about Gary Cohn, an advisor to President Trump who almost quit the Administration
for he felt the "White House must do better in consistently and unequivocally condemning” white
supremacists, neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.
First, something about Mr. Cohn. Conservative eyebrows were raised when President Trump
chose a Liberal Democrat from New York to join his administration in a key role as economic
advisor. My feelings, if President Trump wanted Mr. Cohn, it was fine with me.
As for his critical statement about Trump's response needing to 'be better', I immediately thought
of how Mr. Cohn fell victim to the media frenzy about “white supremacists, neo-Nazis and KKK'.
Before Charlottesville these groups were on no ones radar, but now they are front page news,
while riotous 'protesters' bring chaos to cities across our country getting little scrutiny.
Cohn, who is Jewish, probably can't recall the last time he gave a thought to anti-Semite bigots,
now does. Thank you, media!
If Cohn gave serous thought to the threat to Jews and other minorities he need look no further
than his own Democrat Party which has all but destroyed the valued relationship with the Jewish
community by driving its social agenda no matter the cost, evidenced by urban communities.
Over the past few decades the Jewish constituency was hijacked by 'cocktail party' Jews, those
who flaunt their 'Jewish-ness', yet succumb to the trappings of unions and Hollywood-style
Leftist thinking, leaving no room for deeply rooted conservative Jewish principles, the reason
many notable Jews left the party!
Given this weakening, I wonder how many Jewish voters who supported Hillary Clinton were
surprised Netanyahu call President Trump 'Israel's best friend' ? Netanyahu knew better than
most who would be a serious partner and friend with Israel.
Most Jewish Americans have bought into the 'identity politics' of the Democrat Party that
cultivated a victimization mindset which have kept minorities (and teacher's unions) beholden
to a single party.
Cohn fails to understand where his concern should be directed, not towards small and
insignificant groups that are bigoted, but the major ones that weakened the relationship
between Jews of faith, here and in Israel, and the American govt. over the past decade.
Lastly, its too bad Mr. Cohn made his thoughts public, especially in this toxic atmosphere.
As a friend of President Trump, Cohn should have spoken to him in private.
