When news came that San Fransisco will be voting to ban the religious practice of circumcision, still an important part of Jewish and Muslim religious practice, cries of antisemitism filled the air.\u00a0 Not so, proponents of the ban insisted.\u00a0 It was simply an attempt to impose our values<\/strike> eliminate a painful and medically beneficial<\/strike> unnecessary procedure.\u00a0 Of course that many such proponents would not think twice of allowing the same babies to be aborted a few months earlier seems to escape some, but that\u2019s beside the point.<\/p>\n

No, it is all about those precious post-delivery<\/strike> babies!\u00a0 Now, the post-modern Left is all about bigotry, censorship, oppression, and dangling debauchery and decadence to increase support for the cause.\u00a0 That line between the \u2018Left\u2019 and \u2018Liberals\u2019 is sometimes a bit fuzzy.\u00a0 When Joe Lieberman went Independent a few years back, many became concerned that there seemed to be a bit of classical antisemitism coming from the Democratic side of the aisle.\u00a0 Republicans, sure, we know they\u2019re racists.\u00a0 But these were Democrats throwing this around.\u00a0 Some began to get the idea that we were seeing the seeds of a new racism, a new bigotry on the horizon.\u00a0 Others insisted you can\u2019t blame the whole Left for the actions of a few (unlike blaming all Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, and other traditionalists for the actions of a few). <\/p>\n

Enter the San Fransisco circumcision ban.\u00a0 Despite protests to the contrary, many are starting to see this as a clear attack on traditional religious practice in general, and an attack on traditional Judaism and Islam in particular.\u00a0 And while proponents insist nothing of the sort, suddenly we have this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

WTH?\u00a0 Monster Mohel?\u00a0 Complete with hook nose and 1930s era Nazi like antisemitic imagery?\u00a0 And the hero is a blond haired, blue-eyed crusader against the evil Jewish caricatures?\u00a0 My first thought was, this had to be published by opponents of the ban to make the pro-ban gang look like Nazis.\u00a0 But as of now, I\u2019ve seen nothing of the sort, and it actually looks like it was published by the pro-ban side.\u00a0 Egad.\u00a0 I\u2019m still holding out hope that something this flagrantly antisemitic is not part of an official legal campaign in our country, and it is a hoax or something along those lines.\u00a0 But I must admit, part of me is concerned. Even if it is official, I\u2019m sure it doesn\u2019t represent everyone who supports the Ban.\u00a0 But the fact is, that this sort of thing is attractive to that particular brand of hate-based bigotry and tyranny that is emerging from the far Left side of the tracks. I\u2019ve said it before, if anything is\u00a0capable of surpassing the evils of the Nazis, it will be the post-modern secular Left.\u00a0 And that\u2019s worth remembering for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
