And [conservatism] is not as interchangeable with some religions as liberalism, either. Reform Judaism is sometimes jokingly called, the DNC with holidays.

That's because of today's Reform rabbinate, which in too many instances can't resist the temptation to pass off its individual leftist political views on their receptive congregations as "Jewish".

Yet there are still some prominent political conservatives who find their version of Reform Judaism compatible with their conservative political philosophy. In fact, that was even more so the case when Reform Judaism was transplanted to the United States by German Jews in the nineteenth century.

Well said again.
