If you want to hate me, just know this. I love the USA, I support our brave military men and women, I support the police and firefighters, I support our President and the First Lady, I believe in civility, and I do not want to live in a Socialist country. That is what I believe.— Eric Carmen (@RealEricCarmen) November 27, 2019

Makes me wonder what the POTUS knows of his untimely death to motivate this action.

>>at least 4 of us who are Mayflower descendants
Not me. My family were the latecomers that arrived in the 1650s.
>>we have inherited some genes that keep us from taking the wide and easy path, and refuse to go along to get along
In childhood, mother always called me Contrary Mary, but I never thought of it as a compliment. I went to U of Chicago, and they TRIED to teach us that environment was all, because then they could change everything. Never believed them. Convinced we’re a mix of heredity AND environment. Natural traits can be modified, but not eradicated.
Character traits are the same as eye color. I always felt like a cuckoo in the nest because so many of my traits were diametrically opposed to those who raised me. So genealogy is, for me, a way to discover where those characteristics descended from. In my mind, I see genealogy as a multicolored knitting thread that is difficult, but not impossible, to trace back.
So, yes, “An independent spirit, and the courage, as you said, to go against existing authority, if they felt it repression.” is probably one of those multicolored threads. Some of those characteristics came to us from people who left Dodge because they had a better chance to live taking a boat across an ocean in desperation. But some of those came to us from the people who stayed behind and fought - even if they died. Luckily for us, only AFTER leaving behind small threads to grow and reproduce on their native soil. Those people came later and brought us their own colored threads.
To me, those who kept those thread colors bright and glowing, like the soldiers on our threads, are the ones I honor and feel humbled by. I’m a bureaucrat. My color has faded into obscurity from colors that were once bright. But so many on this list show an integrity that is well represented on Thanksgiving in a toast to ancestors who gave them the internal fortitude to keep up the good fight. Whether or not they shared their bounty with native Americans or with the poor Polish traveler passing through their village.
The ancestors of all of us are the original ingredients. We’re the resulting dish that you can only hope is well flavored and tasty. And to be shared with the dearest friends.

Thanks, Melian. That’s a deeply emotional image that just starts me thinking about how alone powerful people can be, even when always surrounded.
Absolutely fascinating. An Afghani saying “We will never forget that 9/11 brought us, and we will never permit the repetition of 9/11 again.”

Among others I follow Juanita Broaddrick on Twitter. She loves Trump and really needles the Clintons. She has a great sense of humor
Oh, I so love this. First they don’t get the initial joke. Then they don’t get the subsequent joke. How do you deal with people who have had their funny bones amputated?

Independent spirit indeed !
1st generation American on my father’s side; they got out right before WW I, and had hardly anything.
2nd generation American on my mom’s side; grandparents left Scotland** with all they had in a steamer trunk.
**thus my handle: “WildHighlander”.
>>Independent spirit indeed !
I simply love that Trump honors our ancestors at every rally. We honor them each time we stand up for what we believe to be right. I like to think that those hearty souls would laugh and enjoy the fact that they live on in us. Also love that you share your Scottish ancestry with Trump. They all must have been fighters for it to descend so bright and clean in you both.

I imagine there are hundreds of thousands of us!
>>I imagine there are hundreds of thousands of us!
Perhaps, but there are millions more that aren’t.
I spend DAYS scrolling through databases of names and in 800 pages, I’ll find one or two that are my ancestors. Each one of us is brilliantly unique and special. And those of you who share that spirit of those early courageous pioneers form yet another family of genealogy cousins.
It pained me as my original family died away, but I feel that genealogy lets my family grow with the years instead of become smaller.
And history, which was once a boring academic requirement, suddenly becomes absolutely fascinating.
Did you get to see it? It was breathtaking.
