You will not be hammered for this by me. Any serious reader od 20th century history knows what you write to be fact.

It is not difficult to understand why Jews in Czarist Russia would find Socialism very attractive.

On the other hand, it is very difficult to understand why Jews in America find socialism so attractive.

Why is the ACLU such a beacon to so many well educated Jews?

Why is the ACLU such a beacon to so many well educated Jews?

We may not all remember prejudice against Jews, but it existed strongly enough that FDR didn't save a shipload of them who had gotten out of Europe but couldn't find assylum anywhere.

In fact, FDR was told about the death camps but didn't want to make an issue of them for fear that (the majority of) Americans who had been pacifist while FDR had worked to get America into WWII would say, "So that's what getting us into this war was about! Saving a bunch of Jews!"

Recall that Ronald Reagan's father once slept outside in his car instead of in a hotel whose clerk gratuitously boasted of excluding Jews.

So we really have to understand patience. How many generations from the end of the Civil War to the 1994 election of enough southern Republicans to take the House of Representatives?

I'm afraid that might be the frame of reference in which we have to think . . .
