A few were. The Church hierarchy itself and most priests were no such thing. As one example, teaching for generation after generation that the Jews are Christ-killers isn’t exactly radical. Neither is violently beating generation after generation of children. And let’s not even talk about sexual abuse.

Check your arithmetic.  75% of US Jews voted for Hillary, Obama, and so on back.

When has Margaret Atwood ever written a bad book?

The people opposing Pelosi are the most conservative Democrats in the House.  Don’t kid yourself.

So what ended up happening?

Also, the idea that Farrakhan is this irrelevant, powerless old man who’s never done any harm is irrelevant. For one thing, he has done more than anyone in the last 40 years to propagate one of the more pernicious and evil lies about Jewish history, leading to an enormous amount of hostility towards Jews (which was…

It wasn’t an Israeli flag.  If that’s how you see all Stars of David, then that’s your problem.

No. Only an idiot or a misogynist — or both — would say that the two are remotely comparable, in either cause or effect.

Right, opposing racism and other bigotries is “superficial.” Only when the class war is won will they disappear. I heard enough of that garbage in 2016.  

Mark Penn recently wrote a column condemning Democrats for incivility, and equating their conduct with Trump’s.  Both sides are at fault!  He gets more right-wing every day.  I went to high school with him, and he was always self-important, even back then.  

Millions, probably, judging by the extent of the market for trans porn and trans sex workers all over the country -- most predominantly in the South.

Thanks! I appreciate it. She did, in fact, go with that man to his family; his name was Alexander Easterman. (See http://www.jta.org/1983/09/07/archive/alexander-easterman-dead-at-92.) Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out too well; the family — especially Mrs. Easterman — wasn’t really very nice to her, and “sent her…

If you’re interested, this is a translation of the first letter my mother (who was from Berlin) wrote to her parents upon her arrival in England on the first Kindertransport, dated December 2, 1938 (age 15).

He wasn’t the main organizer. Just one of them, and he was mostly involved with the Kinder from Czechoslovakia, not the ones from Germany and Austria.

I recommend it also, not least because Judi Dench’s narration included a couple of lines from one of the letters that my mother (who was on the first Kindertransport) wrote to her parents.

I’m sorry I didn’t see this when it was new.  My mother, at age 15, was on the first Kindertransport to England, leaving on December 1, 1938. As part of the narration of Into the Arms of Strangers, Judi Dench read a couple of lines from one of her letters to her parents.

They said it more bluntly than that -- they said that black voters are too stupid to know that they should vote for Bernie.

Do you have any idea how many cis, hetero men lust after trans women (as long as nobody knows about it, of course)? 

What you’re saying is true, but it was true of almost every country in the Western Hemisphere and Europe. Look at what happened at the Evian Conference in July 1938, when the Dominican Republic was the only country that agree to take in more Jewish refugees from Germany.
