This Pedro L. Gonzalez guy doesn't seem like a conservative at all. He bashes the Republican Party, he has attacked Ivanka Trump and Kristi Noem and Donald Trump, and frankly he is not worth the time of day. A low-I.Q. jerk.
That said, it's difficult to discern a strongly anti-Semitic vibe from the few postings I've seen. Maybe he is. B…

As far as the love-hate relationship between the Right and the Jews, I do agree there is a strain of "practical anti-Semitism" that infects the far Right. Mark Dice, an otherwise excellent conservative commentator and humorist, has let slip the J-word more than once, and his followers on his Youtube channel make no bones about their distaste for "the Tribe".
Why are so many conservatives down on the Chosen People? Perhaps it's because some of the most egregious liberals are Jews.
As a Jewish conservative, I detest the far-left ideologies that dominate the Jewish community. I have no synagogue where I can attend services without listening to social justice topics in every sermon. Most Jews I know are either Israel-neutral or anti-Israel; a few are hypocritically pro-Israel, claiming to love the idea of a Jewish homeland yet hating the realities of self-defense and military preparedness, and willfully ignoring the fervent wish of all of its neighbors that the Jews of Israel be utterly eradicated and the place turned into some kind of Muslim-only property.
The Right is relatively pro-Israel, so I'll go with them. The fact that American Jews are confused and traitorously opposed to the most pro-Israel President we have ever had, renders them in my mind a kind of irrelevant and obsolete ideology that will die out with them. The Orthodox Jews, with large families and robust support for traditional Jewish values, social and political conservatism, and unwavering support for a strong Israel, will persist long after the Reform movement has intermarried and non-binaried itself into oblivion.
I'm a Jew. Agree w/you that too many Jews in Reform (and some Conservative) circles are sadly brainwashed w/ far-Left, anti-family values, anti-Israel ideology. Many get brainwashed in university. Which is why I'll be extremely careful re: where I allow my kids go to college. Liberal, Reform Jews are dying out: true.
You say you have no synagogue where you can attend services without listening to SJW Leftist junk. Our family attends Chabad & kids go to Hebrew school at Chabad. We don't keep kashrut or Shomer shabbos but we certainly make efforts to increase our observance gradually. Chabad is wonderful (I've attended many Chabads all over) & all sermons are full of love and joy. All the sermons are Inspirational & we are always happy we came.
I hope you are right on the point: the Orthodox will persist long after the Reform movement has burned itself out. It will take a few generations if the math continues to fall on the side of the Orthodox.
But where I live, the loons in Reform and Conservative movements, both hated Trump and remained silent when the left attacks Jews with anti Semitic rants or behavior. They have fallen into the Un-Jew Camp (I’ll post an article from Tablet) where they separate their religion, Judaism, from their connection to peoplehood / Israel, in order to appease the left - to whom there are ideologically aligned. It’s a sick disease.
Unfortunately true. Too many Reform Jews brainwashed w/ far-Left, anti-family values, anti-Israel ideology. Many get brainwashed in university. I'll be extremely careful where I allow my kids go to college.
A lot of liberal Jewish families place too much value on career, money, education, social climbing at the expense of far more important values, including marriage, family, children, Judaism, our community, Israel, our culture, etc. When the focus is only career/education/money, they do "whatever they have to do to get ahead" including betrayal of their own people/families.
I'll always support Kiruv, Baal Teshuvahs, the Orthodox & any increase in Jewish observance , ultimately it is good for our people.

I agree that Chabad is a nice, heimish place; we've been a few times.
Yes, we have a local Chabad too.

Thanks for taking the time to read the article. Sad and true.
