From now on I will look for the hidden meanings in your words

"Bet one of your ancestors owned slaves." actually means don't hold people accountable for their ancestors faults

I can say for an absolute fact mine never have Approve
So I'm now gunna say terrible things about people who's ancestors have! Cool
YOU ALL ARE VERY BAD PEOPLE! HOW DARE YOUR ANCESTORS DO THAT! YOU SHOULD PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID AND FEEL BAD.

And George HW Bush by miles.
While I can't say I was fan of his, or agreed overall with his philosophies, he wasn't that bad a President actually, and far better than wubya.
Also, I am pretty sure he was a bit more moderate then his Presidency let on.

Also, I am not very familiar with it in detail...but what exactly are these Bush connections to the Nazi's?

All I know is Prescott Bush owned (or was involved with) a company that was seized under the trading with the enemy act.
Obviously what the Nazi's did were so terrible that we look at everything in retrospect...but prior to WWII didn't we just view them, along fascist Italy, as enemies and authoritarian? Fascism also had a lot of support during the 1930's.
We didn't even know the extent of their atrocities until during the war, and especially when we reached all the concentration camps.

I only say all this jazz because, being involved with a company in Nazi Germany does not make one a Nazi.
Remember, these are businessmen what won't they do to make a buck? LOL
Much as we may wish...I highly doubt Prescott Bush was a Nazi supporter.

And this is coming from one of the biggest Wubya bashers you would've ever met.

My Mom's Dad was anti-Semitic, but not obsessively so.  I never heard him express pro holocaust views.  If any of my ancestors owned slaves, I am not aware of it.  My parents never indoctrinated us with racist views.  I married a black woman and if any of my living relatives had any problems with that I never heard it.

More importantly, NOT Dubya because he is either an easily led simpleton or a frighteningly and apologetically immoral person. Probably bits of both given his verbal foibles and refusal to admit anything wrong about waterboarding.


Well, one could argue that the original gulf conflict never ended.  The U.S. was lobbing missiles in there well into the Clinton years.


And who doesn't love waterboarding?

Apparently, the biggest error after the first Gulf war (which was done very well) was to keep stationed troops in Saudi Arabia. That lead to a lot of resentment, and was the most important aspect that determined Bin Laden to do what he did.

We commit that error in every war.

Calling it an error is a little strange though since it's at best intentionally done and at worst the reason for starting the war.

During one's presidency, I was younger and lived in a different country. But I fully enjoyed the benefits of the presidency of the other one. Also, for comedy purposes, nobody will ever beat the second one. 

Ah, and the whole ""Bet one of your ancestors owned slaves." actually means don't hold people accountable for their ancestors faults"is one of the top 10 idiotic sentences ever written in PA.
