For a scholarly discussion of the Jewish question in European and American sociology, I'm reading Kevin MacDonald's "Culture of Critique".

He has much to say about the holiness of Holocaust, and the trained kneejerk responses that slap the label of 'anti-semite' on anyone who dare mention the possibility of ethnic cohesion of the Cohens.

If Jews want to stick together and raise smart kids and take over the reins of government, that's not a bad thing. Somebody's got to. Why not smart people with skills in the business of government business?

So they bought Obama? Was it a good purchase? The left is so purist and fragmented it can't function. Why shouldn't some group get together and say "we can do it better".

Perhaps the question is who was running the country when the Savings and Loan bubble burst, and who repealed Glass-Steagall, and who turned a blind eye to derivatives so complex they couldn't be understood?

It was a huge con job, but I tend to look for stupidity before I assume evil. I don't think anyone running the financial system wanted it to fail. I think the tragedy of the commons will suffice.

I'd dismiss the Angry Left and substitute the ideological left.
