Prescott Bush, W's grandfather was a prime mover in the American Liberty League which tried to pull off a coup of FDR's government in the 1930s but were exposed by Gen. Smedley Butler (pls Google "American Liberty League&quot . They wanted to instill fascism here as they were enamoured with Hitler and Mussolini's governments. They were traitors who could have been jailed but FDR basically used their treachery against them to pass many New Deal bills. He threatened to expose them all (its funding came mostly from the Du Pont family, as well as leaders of U.S. Steel, General Motors, General Foods, Standard Oil, Birdseye, Colgate, Heinz Foods, Chase National Bank, and Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company) if they opposed the New Deal legislation. That Bush family has been involved in a lot of shady stuff. And there was also the Savings and Loan scandal of the 80s. God! They are like a bad penny that keeps coming back. Jeb is just lurking waiting for Rmoney to screw up terminally, and the way it's looking, that just might happen. God help the country if they get back in. W and Cheney were hell bent in taking up where Prescott Bush and his fascist cronies failed.

lovely, but wasted on the elite. They just don't care! "dumb animals to be used as pawns." Never heard that one. Now it all falls into place
