“As an Orthodox Jew I must acknowledge that a society can only be successful if it adheres to God's basic plan. By recognizing that a battle is raging and that, right now, Christian conservatives are leading the side I believe is morally, historically, and intellectually correct, I find myself linking arms with those so many of my coreligionists vilify.” IfsBelieveChristianI BelieveSidesSuccessfulPlansArmsRight NowBattleJewScaryRageAcknowledgeBeing SuccessfulOrthodoxRecognizingVilify Book:America's Real War Source: America's Real War
