I Am Mad About A Thing: Sweet Sea-Parting Moses, Don't Tell Jews How To Jew

Hi. I am a Jew. Are you? Great. Then you probably already understand what I have to say, but you'll at least want to stick around for the dirty joke.* And if you're not, you can stick around for the dirty joke too.

So. Let's get a few facts out of the way first. American Jews are overwhelmingly liberal Democrats. That is just a simple, indisputable fact :

“Jews are among the most strongly liberal, Democratic groups in U.S. politics,” the Pew report said. “There are more than twice as many self-identified Jewish liberals as conservatives, while among the general public, this balance is nearly reversed. In addition, about seven-in-ten Jews identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party. Jews are more supportive of President Barack Obama than are most other religious groups. And about eight-in-ten Jews say homosexuality should be accepted by society.”

American Jews are also super into social justice-y things like gay rights and labor rights and reproductive rights and decriminalizing pot and lady rabbis. Hell, the majority of Jews don't even consider policy toward Israel a major factor in their voting decisions. WEIRD, RIGHT?

Not that you'd know that, of course, since the media for some strange reason likes to give column inches and air time to the anomalous conservative Jews like Bill Kristol and David Brooks and Ben Shapiro. You know, the ones who like to write those ooooh-scary, clutch-your-pearls warnings that Jews are running scared from the Democratic Party and President Obama. Not so much, ACTUALLY.
