You might have heard about David Klinghoffer's new book, "How Would God Vote: Why The Bible Commands You To Be  A Conservative."

It's an amusing book, in its way, for its bold  attack on access to contraception, no-fault divorce, and taxes rates above 10%.

As a Jew, I'm particularly amused by his use of the First Crusade as the model for warfare. Klinghoffer, who gets much of his cachet in right-wing circles for being a self-styled orthodox Jew, apparently never noticed that  laments for the Jewish communities destroyed in 1096 to this day are recited on the fast day of Tisha b'Av.
