Steve Feinstein’s recent article, “Why American Jews Are Overwhelmingly Liberal,” omitted a crucial part of the story: its conclusion. While I do not take issue with the article’s facts, the truth is that a wave of conservatism, based on religious values, has been deeply cultivated and is robustly emerging on a major scale in the most vibrant and enduring segments of American Jewry.
Studies have demonstrated that America’s secular and mostly liberal Jewish population is shrinking and disappearing, as a result of intermarriage and abandonment of Jewish identity and tradition. Liberal Jewish congregations are dwindling and shutting down, and even seeking non-Jews to join, as there are no longer enough Jews to fill these emptying houses of worship. The same is true with liberal Jewish schools and organizations.
In contrast, the American Orthodox Jewish population is growing, and it is projected that this population, which is politically conservative and which strives to live by biblical values, has strong family units, and adheres to a traditional way of life, will replace the liberal Jewish communities.
The most notable impact on American society of this seismic change will be in the political arena, as Orthodox Jews predominantly vote Republican. Other changes will be seen as well, especially in the areas of support for traditional family values, as Orthodox Jews are pro-life, oppose gay marriage, and support school choice. And on a more recent note, much of the greatest Jewish support for the appointment of Steve Bannon came from the Orthodox Jewish media.

Ha Ha Ha. I see what you did there
I don’t know about being conservative but their Democratic political allies are plotting a holocaust part deux.
This is happening to an extent in the Protestant Christian world as well. The liberals don’t reproduce and there’s little in the way of belief or principle to hold them there. The conservatives do reproduce and do believe.
>>Probably because the loudest ones in hollywood are heard instead of some of the great conservative writers.
On that, if you’re not reading Daniel Greenfield and his Sultan Knish blog, you’re messing up. Highly recommended.
about time they did...
Oy vai!
The sad thing about that also is that the Jews in Germany made excuses for the laws that the Nazis were passing against the Jews...
Just like they are doing for the moslems evil treatment...
History is repeating itself...
No they’re not.
“The one thing the limbs keep forgetting as they worship abortion, the are not replacing themselves”
That’s why they need illegal alien voters.
Also why NAMBLA recruits.
Most womyn seem comfortable with turkey basters and/or anonymous/non-existent fathers.
I would go one further: Please stop calling yourself human. That anyone would applaud such a stance in synagogue is pure evil.
I don’t even understand why we are talking about this. Obviously, we have set fire to every jew, and every black we have ever known. We have destroyed them, and they can’t even get a decent food stamp or tax exemption. Or, like Anthony Weiner, a plea bargain for molesting 15 year olds.
The efforts of our betters have been somewhat successful. And without a strong foundation in faith, there are many “distractions” that will take its place.
Marx’s point that (paraphrasing) “religion is the opiate of the masses” reflected his belief that authoritarian governments like Communism are in direct competition with religion and faith (for the hearts and minds) and it is necessary to destroy religious faith to succeed.
Yeah, the Orthodox are conservative.
I better hike the cuffs of my pants up -- the bullsh!t is really deep around here on this one.
Not a chance......look at S Florida. Palm and Broward counties have more libscum than the whole country combined
The conservatives in the US were a small minority becoming a majority over literally generations.
See my tag line ( "Big government is attractive to those who think that THEY will be in control of it" ).
What has been happening is that Black Lives Matter and the Muslim faction of the Dem party is making it increasingly clear that Jews will be ousted from positions of power in the Left. This produces an adjustment in viewpoint.
For those of you still following the conversation, I also had the displeasure of attending a Purim Festival at a Reformed Synagogue in Seattle in about 2000 in which the evil guy “Haman” in the Book of Esther was fully replaced in each and every case by:
“BUSH”!
Wow. There must having been people there (in addition to you) who were offended by this...?
