    Default Is Donald Rumsfeld an American?

    I read and hear he is not or at least it appears so. I've never liked or trusted him but I've never verbalized that I didn't consider him American. I dunno. What do you think?

    Any fucking evidence to your claim about what you read, or are you simply passing along shit you heard from your quilting group?

    From wikipedia:

    Donald Henry Rumsfeld was born on July 9, 1932, in Evanston, Illinois
    Evanston, IL is in the USA, so...unless you can prove that's wrong, by default he's American. by his service to the nation he's a patriot.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Born in IL-- that's what they want you to believe.Clearly he is part of the grand conspiracy to falsify birth records over half a century ago and then put those people into high level positions in our govt. I know that's what going on-- wikipedia is in on it, they all are. I don't know who they are, or what-why-how they do it. I just know its waaaay better than talking about real issues. Thanks PB-- really took my mind off reality.
