I'm not Jewish so I may have done poor at this.--T. Anthony 14:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

In my view, if this page is to be useful, it should follow a model similar to Jewish left: look at Jewish political movements of the right, or explore why there has been a Jewish right, rather than simply list right-wing politicians who happen to be Jewish.

[edit] American Jews on the Right

I have a theory that most Jews are democrats because most Jews are immmigrants from the 30's (and reflect the leftist thought of Russia/Eastern Europe). In contrast I have a theory that most Jews on the right come from more established or earlier immigrant families. ANyone know if this is true?66.66.191.53 (talk) 04:02, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I have no evidence, but I'm going to say I doubt it. A fair amount of the notable Jewish people I find on the Right or Left are immigrants or children of immigrants while others aren't. I do have some feeling that American Reform Jews are probably more strongly Democrat than Orthodox Jews, and maybe Reform families came later, but I don't know if that's even right.--T.
