Get Real Family Values at Dreisbach and Sons Cadillac FIRE page 69 this, mainstream political lead- ers lend precious legitimacy to groups and ideologies previous- ly relegated to the darkest cor- ners of our political system. And they further polarize debate over the key issues of the day. So gun control is no longer about proliferating gun owner- ship versus the perceived need for self-defense in the face of worsening crime. It's now about fending off a sinister government conspiracy to outlaw all guns. And the drive to cut the feder- al government is no longer about balancing the needs of our most vulnerable citizens in this pinched new era. It is, for con- spiracy mongers and those who bring their ideas forward, a cru- sade against evil officials intent on manipulating lives in pursuit of ungodly aims. FAMILIAR TUNE Conspiracy theories are enor- mously appealing in times of eco- nomic and social stress. They are also antithetical to the values of democracy and pluralism, always positing absolute villains as the cause of every problem, and de- flecting attention from the com- plex process of finding real solutions. Republican leaders may in- deed have a responsibility to in- vestigate the events at Waco and Ruby Ridge. But they also need to tread carefully on the blurry line be- tween legitimate criticism of gov- ernment agencies and the dangerous, highly divisive con- spiracy theories — the most mod- ern manifestation of a scapegoating process Jews know too well. ❑ 1995 Seville SLS Dreisba ► ch & Sons Like A Rolling Kippah The World Wide Web can help you explore Bob Dylan's Jewish connections.
