If Mexican illegals are the “proletariat” of the next revolution, who are its vanguard?

It never rains but it pours. Near the end of my long correspondence over the last two days with a Talmudically religious but radically egalitarian Jew (you figure it out, I can’t) who in the name of God and Jewish law self-importantly champions the cause of illegal aliens, and who had kept indignantly insisting that he is not indifferent to America’s laws and well-being and is not anti-American (even though he also insists that he loves all peoples and countries equally), he let on that he is “not worried about a Mexicanization of the USA. Most of the Southwest and California was Spanish/Mexican to begin with, as was Florida.” Hmm, ok, not anti-American. A little later I checked out Steve Sailer’s site, and learned that the author of the Spanish version of the National Anthem, which is being used by the Mexican and other Hispanic illegals in their revolutionary protests around the country, is not a Hispanic, but a leftist (and also rich) Jew named Adam Kidron, whose father, Michael Kidron, was a leading Marxist economist in Britain and lifelong believer in Marxist revolution to rid the world of capitalism.

Do we not detect a theme here? Just as the more honest conservatives today will discuss, say, the Hispanic problem, or the black problem, or even the Catholic problem (e.g. the Church hierarchy’s crusade for open borders, and the cultural leftism that allowed the flourishing of homosexuality in the priesthood), do we not also need to discuss the Jewish leftist problem? A starting point might be Dennis Prager’s series of columns on the subject. One of these columns, which I discussed here, went beyond anything I had ever said about Jewish alienism.

There is no chance of Jewish leftism and anti-nationalism being reduced unless the larger society confronts it honestly and critically. (Nota bene: confronting it anti-Semitically will only inflame it and cause the rest of the country to rally to its side.)

Prediction: Within the next two years, mainstream magazines will start to publish thoughtful and critical articles (not tendentious and biased ones, like Mearsheimer and Walt’s “The Israel Lobby”) about the problem of Jewish radicalism and anti-majoritarianism in this country.
