>It is that whole Jesus Christ thing

" Jews spitting on Christian priests in Jerusalem? It may sound surprising but in fact it's a common problem that priests don't generally complain about because little is done when they do and complaining may just make things work. Yes, chauvinism is alive and well in Israel. ..."

Prayer in schools, religious monuments at courthouses. Jews are inherently uncomfortable with anything that crosses the line between church and state and the GOP has been out front on this issue every step of the way.

Jewish theology is compatible with state socialism. "Tikkun Olam" is a commandment to "heal the world." Many Jews interpret that as a directive to support the welfare state.

You mean that lefty who said that G-d's Laws are less important than just Doing Good Things and who said that eating non-kosher food doesn't defile a Jew even though G-d's Torah says it does?

I propose a trade: liberal Jews can have the free-thinking liberal from Nazareth, and Fundamentalist rednecks like me will take HaShem!

How, then, do you explain the fact that Orthodox Jews are the most politically conservative?
