Republican/conservative orientation of Jewish texts

A Few Classic texts of importance

Mishnah Pirkei Avot .... Be careful in your relations with the government; for they draw no man close to themselves except for their own interests.

"Rabbi Chanina the deputy [High] Priest said: Pray for the welfare of the government (lit., monarchy), for if not for its fear, a person would swallow his fellow live."

Judaism values work. Just ask Rabbi Akiva, who puzzled the unimprovably named Roman general Turnus Rufus by placing before him grain and bread and asking him which he’d rather eat. The Roman, perplexed, chose the bread. Just right, said the Jewish sage, which goes to show that the essence of progress is labor. The Democrats are now making a virtue of the CBO saying millions will lose their jobs because of Obamacare.

As Obama and Democratic policies have led to record food stamps, disability and other dependencies, : Whosoever has in his heart.. and do no work but rather be sustained from charity,” thundered none other than Maimonides, “defames the Lord’s name, cheapens the Torah, extinguishes the light of faith, causes himself ill, and removes himself from the world to come.”

“Torah: “man leaves his mother and father and cleaves to his wife, and they become as one.”
