Re: collectivism. I was trying to say that collectivism did not enter the US when Jewish immigration began (which actually was in 1654, as you probably know), which is how I read your post (imperfectly, it would appear).
As far as NYT endorsing Republicans - I stand corrected on 1932: it did endorse FDR. But check this out (From The American Presidency Project):

AS TO WHETHER “COLLECTIVISM IS (ipso facto) THEFT,” AND WHETHER THE BIBLICAL EXHORTATIONS TO “FEED THE HUNGRY” REQUIRE 100% PRIVATE ACTION OR THAT OF GOV’T: I NEED MUCH MORE CAFFEINE TO GO INTO THAT -MORE THAN I HAVE INGESTED TODAY.
;D
Here in Miuba Florida, we have a marvelous example of multiculturalsim. Instead of the barista at Five Bucks, we go to the ubiquitous Cuban cafe’s counter and ask for a “colado”, “Uno colado” if being properly multicultural.
For anywhere from 80 cents (Baptist Hospital cafe) to $1.25 (anywhere in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, all the way to Palm Beach) will get you more than the Five Bucks double dip espresso. More coffee, less attitude. Such a deal!
If you like cream in coffee, the caffe con leche is the way to go. Same low price, large serving, etc.
