"...they wanted to drive the Papists out of North America...."

Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!! I guess they failed since two of my extremely Papistical ancestors manned the front lines of the Grand Army of the Republic. Maybe that was it, though. They were meat and potato Papists, and gave as good as they got. (Another lost art in the "pluribus" part of "E Pluribus Unum").

How pathetic. Do you know just WHEN the French and Indian War was?

I am pleased that your ancestors served. I guess that they weren't part of the band of Irish-Americans in Brooklyn that rioted over being drafted. Or perhaps they were, and were drafted anyway. Whatever.

Oh, it must be demoralizing to be you.Surrounded by decay, ruled, obviously in an illegitimate fashion, by an overreaching government that is much too arrogant and gives the franchise to too many cretins.So when the bombs fall, which side will you be on? I wonder if your liberties are in fact worth me dying over.I think you wouldn't mind that, actually.You first, as this world seems too much for you at this time.
