How Would God REALLY Vote: A Jewish Rebuttal to David Klinghoffer's Conservative Polemic
How Would God REALLY Vote A Jewish Rebuttal to David Klinghoffer's Conservative Polemic
Author: Larry Yudelson, Yori Yanover
Are the Bible and the Talmud conservative books? No way! Does God want the U.S. government to ban gay marriage, pull evolution out of high school textbooks, and leave health care to market forces? Not a chance! Should Americans trust right-wing Christians with their votes on election day? Not before reading this devastating cri...  more » At a time when John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin has again brought the extreme views of Evangelical Christianity front and center in the American political debate, Larry Yudelson and Yori Yanover send a Jewish telegram to the electorate: Worry! David Klinghoffer, the subject of this critique, is a former literary editor and frequent contributor to the National Review, a long-time columnist for The Forward (the leading American-Jewish weekly), and a fellow at the Discovery Institute, the right-wing think tank that led the push for the teaching of "Intelligent Design" as an alternative to evolution. In June, Klinghoffer's fifth book was published by Doubleday: How Would God Vote? Why the Bible Commands You to Be a Conservative, a book whose very title led Yudelson and Yanover to write this immediate rebuttal. How Would God REALLY Vote draws upon their skills as veteran journalists and amateur Talmud scholars to provide an engaging, accessible and argumentative examination of Klinghoffer's arguments against liberal policies on abortion, contraception, gay marriage, health care, drugs, and taxation. Challenging the errors, misquotes and outright lies which fill Klinghoffer's "call to action," Yudelson and Yanover offer a refreshing study of Talmudic texts on these controversial issues. Their conclusion: The God of Jewish tradition is no conservative. He might even be a flaming liberal!
