How far?

When slavery was commonplace in Europe.

Why would his ancestors be the owners?

Because he has millions of ancestors from that era.  It would unbelievably unlikely to not be descended from both the slaves and the masters.

But you will never know their names and how you are descended from them so it is rather more theoretical.

I see you corrected yourself further on by saying they would be both slaves and owners.  Originally I read your posts as being only owners.

I think you are confusing me with Peter Wiggins here.

Probably right but it is rather amusing isn't it?  One of our most famous generals never officially part of the US Army.  Though he had regular units under his command.  Just weird how they did things back then.

Jackson was part of the US Army from 1846-1851.

So you say his ancestors would only be owners and none would be slaves?

Valmy requires 8 years of service before he recognizes someone as an American officer.

I don't say that now and have not said that in the past.

And fighting some Mexicans doesn't count either.  I demand real service.

I would like to know how is the President supposed to please the people who bitch that he hasn't done everything possible to bring back Bergdahl and then once the Bergdahl has been brought back bitch again.  What do Conservatives want the President to do?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No, Seriously what is the President suppose to do?

When you have things like this
Quote"The mission to bring our missing soldiers home is one that will never end. It's important that we make every effort to bring this captured soldier home to his family."
From Rep. James Inhofe

It seems to be a damned if you do, damned if you don't.
