That voting block is one of the wierdest things. You really have to know a few Jews to understand just how much unlike the Jews in the bible they are.

its in the genes. Most people vote the way their parents did, including bringing their parents' politics over the ocean with them.

Dennis Prager, the talk-radio host, and an observant Jew, says that the "religion" of most US Jews is liberal politics.

Mind detailing this a bit further? I'm curious.

It seems to me that they are VERY like the Jews in the Bible - turning their backs on God and to worldly things and continually getting Him mad at them for their folly. They just never seem to have gotten the message and will not be redeemed until the Final Judgement when he calls 144,000 of them back to the Promised Land.

And yet... so much like those of the Bible as well.

Twice as many of the current generation of Jews who are members of the more liberal sect (Reformed) are Torah observant than their parents. A movement back to Torah observance is underway under the noses of everyone. Someday soon, being "Jewish" will once again mean that you worship the G-d of Avraham, Yitzak, and Ya'akov - and keep His commandments. Maybe "Christians" will wake up some day too . Isaiah 2:1-3 is on the horizon.

Reminds me of the saying that they live like Episcopalians and vote like Bolsheviks.
