Judaism is based around Jews being God's chosen people by way of an ancestral - as in what they believe to be a bloodline - inheritance of God's covenant with Abraham. That's why they have DNA testing in Israel.
I never said there were no Jewish liberals prior to WWII or that Jews invented liberalism. I said they began pushing it harder post war. Jews were pushing communism hard prior to that. After the war, they began moving away from it towards liberalism.
Liberalism has never necessarily meant small governments. Liberal individualism actually requires a large government to safeguard minority rights from the majority.
Why are you talking about 1900-1990? Need I remind you of the 1790 Immigration Law again? Also, it's really strange that your Golden Age of American liberalism ends with the abolition of slavery. WTF?
For Israeli DNA testing, it's not enough for citizenship, and it's not enough for a conversion. I'm not sure why you guys say that. Jewish ethnic lineage is still varied, so it's not like there's an almighty jew-gene that they can follow.
I never said that you said that there were no jewish liberals prior to WW2, you just said that jews pushed liberalism post WW2 as a conspiracy to demoralize whites, which makes no sense, since they already adopted liberalism as jews. Jews were pushing socialism, liberalism, progressivism, and communism all throughout the early 20th and late 19th century specifically because they were among many of the intellectual class that were doing so. There was nothing special about that.
Liberalism requires a small government to prevent intervention. Even if you have king, you have to weaken the bureaucracy of the king, the bureaucracy of parliament, and foster the independence of the judiciary.
You can bring up the 1790 Immigration Law all you want, and I can bring up that Hamilton and Lincoln weren't liberals, unless you consider Rousseau to be one. Slavery may be irreconcilable with Liberalism, but that's why Lincoln used it as a cover to excuse centralization.
