“brought their families who were in taters”


I guess that makes them Scots-Irish, as this description fits them to a “t”.

Leave out one “T” and ‘they’ never let you forget it! ... Now for a mug of tea, too.

“Honor requires many things, and in no small part is facilitated by leaving your neighbors alone while demanding the same. It is expected to insist others behave properly in public, but it is utterly inappropriate to tell them what to do in their homes or with their money. It is honorable to give generously to charity and loathsome to demand tribute to government run charities. It is honorable to stand for office on the promise to tame government and make it your servant, and vile to use government to enslave.”

Like that part.

However, I keep getting this image of Scots buried in mounds of potatoes....
