A trivia question no liberal could ever answer correctly.

Good work. And the fact that Yulee wasn’t born in Africa didn’t throw you.

[BradyLS]

Why the games? Why not enlighten us and tell us since you’re so sure we won’t get it?

[dangus]

(I trust I don’t need the sarcasm tags.)

[BradyLS]

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Too late. It’s been gotten. Answered at #30, explained at #31. I said LIBERALS would never get it. I knew I was dealing with SMART people.

And the fact that Yulee wasn’t born in Africa didn’t throw you.

I figured North African parents was good enough. And I couldn't find any senator actually born in Africa itself.

Now I will say that LukeL's guess (#33) of Charles Cathcart is pretty good, since Cathcart was actually born in Madeira, the island off the North African coast, although he entered the Senate a few years after Levy Yulee.

If Thomas Jefferson (not a senator) believed in Moses, the parting of the Red Sea, the Decalogue, circumcision and YHWH, but did not believe in the divine nature of Christ, could we say *he* was Jewish?

Very good again . Do we know anything about his mother ?

Liberal torture question: Who is the only President who was a Labor Leader? He was the President of his union.

(Ronald Reagan)

That’s easy. Hiram Revels (R-MS).

Sure glad they provide the answers in the back of the book.

The one I remember was Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, Republican.

Is Morocco in Africa? I rest my case. :)

Like I said in an earlier post, if someone means “black” when they say “african American”, then they need to say “black”. I like to be precise as possible when I speak.

Good one.

While we're asking these questions, here is my favorite: Which American President was the last to serve as president at a time when there were no living former Presidents?

[Jet Jaguar]

nixon?

[aruanan]

Forget his name, but if memory serves it was a Republican elected during reconstruction.

There was no popular election for senators then when the first two black senators served. That started (unfortunately) in 1913.

[TnGOP]

It was Nixon!

[Jet Jaguar]

Washington.

[Jet Jaguar]

Had me second guessing myself! :0)

[TnGOP]

ANd I guess Washington would be the first, by default!

[aruanan]

Sort of weird that, once popular election of senators was possible, the three blacks in that office from Illinois were all tards and Democrats.
