Conservative Jews.

So, last weekend I met a friend of a friend, who's Jewish and is originally from Brookline, Massachusetts, but now lives in South Florida and has been campaigning for Obama there as well, and she was really hammered and going on and on about how liberal a lot of secularized Jews like her family tend to be, though they're conservative in some things, but she couldn't give any examples of conservativeness right after she said this and so paused in her monologue to rethink her position out loud and so was like, "Wait, we're liberal with health care, we're liberal with labor reform, we're liberal with abortion, we're liberal with a lot of things, so I don't know what we're conservative about -- maybe the way we dress?"
