Some stereotypes are true. American Jews tend to be leftists.

What about Unitarians?

Which is why they’re hiding the brother.

Seems to me they’re ashamed of themselves.

Don’t have enough courage to stand up for themselves.

Kagan likens NRA to KKK.

If Obama has the SCOTUS by the scruff of the neck who will be able to fight him?

We *TRIED* to warn them.

I'll take it further. Almost all stereotypes are true.

That doesn't mean that there are no exceptions to each stereotype. For example in this case you have me and all the other Jews here at FR.

Robert Kagan..also volunteered his skills on a number of land-use issues roiling their Upper West Side neighborhood, once roping himself to a tree that was about to be cut down. Their mother, Gloria, taught for 20 years at Hunter College Elementary School, where she was legendary for challenging her students to challenge themselves, sometimes to the point of making them tremble.

For many, it would turn out to be the investment of a lifetime: the Kagan children sold their family’s 1,700-square-foot apartment, 3B — a “classic 6,” with two bedrooms and a maid’s room — last year for $1.325 million.

But Mr. Kagan, now 53, had misgivings about the 2002 contract that he had helped negotiate, said Alan Saly, director of publications for the local, and he let some of his former co-workers know it. Among other issues, he objected to the fact that the contract relied on a bonus of $1,000 in the third year, rather than a raise, so it would not count toward workers’ pensions or future salary increases.

Such a lovely family. I can't imagine my father roping himself to a tree. The mother sounds...scary. Yikes.

The article describes New York liberals perfectly. So kind, compassionate and altruistic. For people so concerned about others, they sure know their way around money and finances. They think they're above wealth and capitalism, yet they know how to turn a handsome profit on real estate, and how to negotiate a contract. And how clever an attempt to equate the NYC Schools Chancellor's desire to end teacher seniority - to Goldman Sach's. Public sector jobs like teaching, are taxpayer-funded. Private sector jobs are not. Makes a big difference. Apple meet orange.

Thanks for posting. I was stuck in a waiting room and read this garbage puff piece.

It seems to me there is a lot that is being hidden about this Kagan “perfect” family. They do seem very weird, indeed.
