No offense taken.
What I was trying to to obliquely say was that...........
Yes, on the most up-front level, this article was written to inform the reader about the DEMOGOGRAPHY of the US population. Specifically, pointing out the large portion that have a German heritage.
It may be argued though that this was NOT what this article was about.
It is my thesis that this article (most likely written by a British Leftist) was a HIT-PIECE about America. The author smeared US citizens of German heritage. SUBLIMINALLY the author links German(Nazi)-genes to the current neo-conservatives like Rumsfeld and the rest of the 'ruling elite' in the US. The article is meant as a warning to the reader that US leadership is tainted with German (Nazi) blood that wants to rule the world.
Thing are not always as they appear, my friend.
