I saw it, plus the comments. It isn't Cristoforo I'm fan of; I'm a fan of his personal discovery of the West, which led to European knowledge that it was here, which led to European migration to the New World, which led to colonialists who held Judeo-Christian values and knew what governmental failures to avoid because they fled from them, which led to the founding of the United States of America, where I'm from.
That's my heritage. Usually when we see people celebrating their heritage, they are treated with a great deal of deference and respect. For some reason when I want to celebrate my American heritage, certain people (always on the political left) wish to show disrespect to my traditional celebratio, my celebration of who I am. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "dfsavgny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Tom, this is not payback (seriously).
