I can think of more entertaining ways to waste time than by replying to 285
words of shrieking, all-caps bullying and demagoguery that came in
response to a 5-word commonplace political slogan that I used as a
*tagline"; but, for the record, I do need to correct one bit of
misinformation:

No, I've mentioned that my husband is Jewish and that some of my ancestors
were Jewish Czechs, on my maternal grandfather's side. The Czech
government coerced them to convert to Christianity in the 19th century. My
family was unaware that these ancestors were born Jewish until a few years
ago. I'm a secular Pagan. (Secular Pagans are atheist environmentalists,
who observe the neo-Pagan seasonal holidays without believing in literal
gods, goddesses or other supernatural beings.) By the way, assuming that
all real Jews agree with the current Israeli government is as ignorant as
assuming that all real Americans are right-wing Republicans.
