>> Tain't me that should be a'leaving...

But the Bush Cabal would feel so much more at home in Saudi...look, they have oil, they lax (almost non-existent) government social programs, they have religion and values, they run the country as if it was a corporation, you can torture people to your heart's content, there is no need to be afraid of eavesdropping and monitoring phone calls...It sounds like the Bush agenda in all its glory. Why do you not like it?

2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents [not 16], 16 great, great grandparents.

At 20 years per parenting, that's 80 years ago for a just-born's great great grandparents being born = 1926.

At 40 years per parenting, that's still only 160 years and that would apply to very few people = 1846.

"My ancestors founded this country, fought for it, and died for it. "

Mine too. Some of mine were here for a hundred years prior to 1776. These newcomers that claim to know what is best for our country need some historical perspective.
