Boomer guy hoping to help Boomers understand those young'uns, and everyone else understand why Boomers are... well, boomers, I guess.

Oh. Also a weird geek boy.
What disgusting lawyers. You'd think that they would know that the President's word is not law.

He didn't appoint his horse as consul. That is a myth.

Suetonius notes that Caligula planned to make Incitatus a consul, though this remained a rumor or a joke rather than a reality.

Citation: ibid.

Citations, please. The older the document, the better. As I said, all of the earliest citations I can find reference the boots while young nickname from when he was in the field with his father.

Citation: Suetonius, "The Lives of The Twelve Caesars", chapter: The Life of Caligula.

Ah, the propaganda!

Name the fascist founding fathers.
Define fascism.
What did Mussolini define fascism as?

You clearly haven't experienced creole or other American languages.

Remember: America has no formal national language. Believing that it ever did is a fallacy. What it has is a de facto default language because most of the people in the original colonies, and all of the founders, spoke English.

Using which definition of fascist - certainly not the one used by Benito Mussolini and the Italian Fascistii (sp.?) from which the modern fascist movements seem derived.

Fascism prioritizes the nation over the individual, who exists to serve the nation, the opposite of the founding fathers design.

Also, many of the "wild stories" about him are reported by the non-jewish historian Suetonius. Although some stories, like the tale of his horse being appointed as a consul, have been invented (probably because he once said he wanted to make Incitatus a consul), others appear to be true.

Man, can you get your facts straight, or at least validate things with sources.

The vast majority of sources, possibly all contemporary or semi-contemporary sources, agree that the name Caligula was given to him as a youth by soldiers when he was in the field with his father.
