Book: The Bible Says 'Vote Conservative'

 
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

(IsraelNN.com) The Bible commands Jews to "vote conservative," author David Kinghoffer writes in his new book, "How would G-d vote? Why the Bible Commands You to Be a Conservative."

Klinghoffer, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and author of several books, challenges self-acclaimed liberal Jews to examine their traditional support of candidates with similar views.

The book covers the issues of Muslim terror, homosexual marriages, global warming and poverty, noting the Biblical solutions that he maintains help Jews survive physically and spiritually.
 
Klinghoffer charges the "liberal-Left" with views that contradict the Bible.
 
The Long Island Jewish Star noted that the author recently wrote an article in which he quoted Whittaker Chambers as saying that the Western notion of "political freedom" is a political reading of the Bible.

Concerning the U.S. presidential race, he wrote in the Jewish Forward last month that less committed Jews are more likely to feel "threatened" by Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin.
 
Klinghoffer also noted that Jews are the second most liberal religious group, ranking only behind Buddhists.
 
Opposing views have been published in another book, "How Would G-d Really Vote?” by Larry Yudelson and Yori Yanover. Yudelson told the New York Jewish Week that he does not really know how G-d would vote, but that Jews should have some humility about answering the question.
