Dad born there, Mom born here. I’m Greek, but not Greek Greek like the people in Big Fat Greek Wedding.

I literally laughed out loud over this... I have a niece-in-law that loves the 'Big Fat Greek Wedding' movie... I have never seen it, but felt like I have, given her description.... So my visual from your words come from her description of that movie...

I think crooked hillary, the life-long incompetent and criminal, should choose huma for her vp. On second thought, I think the crooked criminal should give away all her assets, should self-exile this evening and should roam the world begging for forgiveness.

I really don’t care to count the number of Greeks there are in Congress.

Myself and another on this thread have found that most Greeks are full blown die-hard Democrats.

the greek wedding 2 movie was universally rejected by normal greek families. The first was a funny movie, the second was pc propaganda. No real greek family would have been/ would be “ok” with a homosexual son.

Given the orthodox church and the broader experience it appears (not to mention census data) it appears the few limited here have not been out to the broader world at large.

Because Dukakis did so well?

Or because Spiro T. Agnew worked out so well for crooked Dick?

Generals worked out very well as candidates after earlier wars, but they aren't household words anymore. If you have to ask "Who?" it's probably not a good candidate.

That’s YOUR opinion. I have lived in at least six major US cities and the majority are Democrats. Maybe where you live it’s different but not where I currently am.

I did not know there was a second movie... And I have not seen the first, but got a long description from a relative-in-law, over apparently the first one... Meaning the movie touched closed to home to this relative... as this person who is NOT Greek saw the funny in how closely it describe their immediate relatives. I am generally a listener...

not only would I not recommend it, I would advise not to waste any of your time watching it for free.
