What's With Those Jews?

As a non-Jew and non-liberal who has grown up in and around NYC, principally in one of the premier Jewish suburbs of NYC, I have asked myself this question many many times (as far as politics are concerned, of course). Here are two answers. Interesting. Still, I don't get the unanimity. Everybody thinks us Catholics are monolithic in our political outlook (given that we take orders from Rome and all) but we don't hold a candle to the Jews in terms of lock-step thinking.
