My family was here through at least one Son of Scotland who came over, I believe in the Highland Clearances, and settled in Stephens City, VA. His grandson, my 2-greats grandfather, fought with the 1st Virginia Light Artillery in the Civil War. OMIGOSH! I'm a descendent of slaveholders!
Most of my ancestors were Famine refugees from Ireland who came here, legally, and became stalwart citizens who served in our military, our police, and as firefighters.
For this Marxist Maggot to cast aspersions on my family is beyond all bounds.
He says "You didn't build that." I say my family, like a myriad of other families, built it, I'm damned proud of them, and I will continue in the path they blazed for me!
"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
