Jews became liberals in America because they often found that liberal-minded people were more likely to accept them. During the 1930s, poor immigrant Jews in the major cities inclined toward the Democratic Party and labor unions for the same reasons that other immigrant working class groups did. But many things have changed since those days, especially the understanding and acceptance that have been offered to Jews by morally conservative Christians. There has been a lag, I think, intellectual inertia. But in my experience, younger Jewish people are much more likely than their elders to acknowledge that conservatives today are on the right side of the important issues facing our country.

Good answer. I think you are right. The younger Jewish generation is more conservative.

Well, I'm jewish and a conservative, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-individualist republican. I'm also over 50 so I guess I'm an anomaly.
