Where you stand
Bear
It’s traitorous to sucumb to the credo of the “big stick”…
Your “Mohawk warrior” chant complete with postulations inviting fear at the potential for armed aggression against those who’ve taken something you think belongs to you forever… BIG STICK MENTALITY
True enough, I do sucumb to the "big stick" mentallity, but as you know fulwell, I do not support violence as a form of protest. But I stand and will fight for what "is" ours. I use words and facts, but if push comes to shove, this Bear is large enough and unhinged enough to inflict serious damage. So beit. That does not make me a member of the neo con machine.
Embracing the wealthy right’s need to prosecute war on the primitive and the impoversished….perhaps that’s the way natives think….
No and you know that is not how I think.
Do natives really endorse the philosophy that profits from bananas and sugar cane legitimize years of war and poverty? Do natives expect that the white man (and particularly the “right”) have any interest in honoring contracts made with them?
No and as you know, I have posted the history on that little time period and the fact that I think it was criminal. We feel that the only way we will have our contracts honoured, is if we protest loudly. That seems to be the only way anyone will hear our case.
Think NAFTA think Boundary Waters agreement think billions spent anually on a war machine ostensibly built for defence…..
I do think of such things, as you are well aware, it doesn't change the fact that the left is as or in some cases, more morally bankrupt then the right.
You climb on board that “right” engine and you undermine your humanity and the cause you pretend to stand for…
No I fell in line with ITN on exposing the vile hypocracy of the lefts swing in the wind mentality.
Those of the “right” since we’re all throwing around this whitewash, prefer success even if it means destroying the planet toachieve that success…
No arguements from me, on that.
Maybe you can cut a deal with your American friends for some APC’s or claymores….killing seems to be your preferred solution…very American that…
No deals, they were bought from a surplus military dealer and from what I have been told and seen, retro fitted with weapons. Just getting ready for Kebecs seperation. If you are referring to the communications between Native leaders and the US government over the Seaway, Ok, I believe we have made a deal or two to expand and get consession, if we assist the US.
McCarthy Nixon Johnson, ITN’s heroes all supported the “kill em all and let God sort em out” diplomacy of the wealthy right.
In frustration, I do to at times feel the same way.
Those greener pastures you think you’ll find in endorsing the “right” don’t exist….
I'll stick with my beliefs in the Hunting Grounds at the end of my tour here. I endorse only those that see through the minucia and call the pots and kettles black. As do I.
To deny your humanity by getting into line behind the Planet Killers…is that something you learned at a lodge meeting….
I haven't gotten behind anybody, but ITN and his quest to expose the hypocracy in the left elitists agenda and moral bankruptcy. As I have done with you on attacking the rights corruption and corporate greed. You fail to realize, that just because I support ITN and his post, that I do not sell out my values. I am neither right nor left, I am me. I am a Native, yet I can highlight the corruption in my community. I try to not let my biases jade or sway my view of facts and truths.
The truth is, both right and left are morally bankrupt, if anyone wants to jump up the "right's" ass, go ahead and start a thread, this one is to jump up the "letf's". Defend the "left" in you want, but sitting and pointing fingures while crying out "YA, well you did this and that and this and so on!" in as counter productive and irrelavent as pointing out the meaning of an antiquated saying. It's just more hyperbol, which as of late, you have been above. I would hope you would stay well above it, I have grown to respect your views. I would hope that you could respect mine, as I have laid them out.
