This Jewish conservative is a living refutation of the perception all Jews are liberal. Some of us are decidedly not. The rightward shift among Jews today is correlated less with specific domestic controversies than a growing realization the Left has grown in hostility and hatred towards Israel while the Right has acquired a philosemitic hue. American Jewish identification with liberalism is historically derivative and can be traced to the reception Jews faced on the Right in the old country. America is very different and Jews are slowly coming to realize the Democrats are not the sole address the community can turn to respond to their concerns. A lot of us ex Democrats know this to be true. And since I joined the Republican Party a few years ago, I haven't looked back.

A lifetime of reflexive liberalism ended for THIS Jew when the Democratic machinery of the City and State of New York allowed a Black-on-Jew pogrom in 1991.

The light bulb went on over my head, and here I am. :)
