Kennedy compares 1070 to Trail of Tears.

Tsalagi brothers and sisters… this is the real name of the Cherokee People “Tsalagi”, Cherokee is the name that was given us by those who could not spell or pronounce our name.

the Trail of Tears was a mass murder perpetrated by President Andrew Jackson, in which he directly flouted the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States of America. thousands upon thousands of men women and children died through several forced marches and a full scale invasion of their land by an un-uniformed band of thieves miscreants and land grabbers, who killed many and burned villages to the ground before any of the marches ever began… these were not huts or teepees as liberal Hollywood would have you think… But towns with leadership and a Constitution which bound them… they lived in buildings and wore clothes as any englishman might. they had already ceded much of their land in hopes of living side by side with the Americans… but they were lied to and then murdered…

the Cherokee Nation of which I am a full Citizen, has it’s own rules and regulations of whom may be and may not be a citizen… as many of my brothers and sisters have mentioned they too are Cherokee, but the may not be citizens… because the Tribe decided that only those who could prove lineage to the Dawe Rolls would be citizens. so these people who may be descended from those who ran from the “Death List” have no claim to their rightful ancestry… because a community decided who would and who would not enter it’s ranks. right or wrong they, that community made that decision. and they have that right… as does Arizona.

the use of a Mass Murder and dark place in American Bureaucracy to make a political dig for the benefit scoring some point with his base… is disgusting. I don’t believe that the Arizona government has killed one person or displaced one natural citizen as the American Government did with the Trail of Tears. on the contrary they have defend those same individuals against invasion. they are in essence the “Cherokee” on the trail of tears… not the American Government.

I have forgiven my government for the wrongs it has burdened my people with, for those criminals are long gone and so is that government. it is people like you Mr. Kennedy that use my ancestors death for political profit… it is you I detest.

Tsalagi…

PeepGov.com plugging your brain directly into the body politic.

I got an e-mail today from Nick Secrest about PeepGov.com an awesome new website. PeeGov.com is a brand new site, a type of government watchdog site if you will, that delivers streams of all kinds of current information and when I say current, I mean like now… blogs, twitter, news, videos, literally “Everything”…

then there is a the leader board (seen below) that tabulates the shear number of posts about any congressman or senator and ranks them in order of Buzz… I think… I’m not really too sure how Nick, Nic, and Brian are doing it… but I like it… I like it alot. I liken it to plugging your brain directly into the body politic… for better or worse.

Conservatives Get a New Look at Pawlenty and Romney – NYTimes.com

Pawlenty just lost my vote…

But Mr. Pawlenty offered supportive language that was well understood by opponents of abortion and same-sex marriage, talking about “the sanctity of life” and “traditional marriages.” He also rejected any kind of secular view of government as he listed “four ideas that I think should carry us forward.”

“The first one is this: God’s in charge,” he said. “There are some people who say, ‘Oh, you know, Pawlenty, don’t bring that up. You know it’s politically incorrect.’ Hogwash.”

Holder admits nine Obama Dept. of Justice officials worked for terrorist detainees, offers no details | Washington Examiner

Did anyone Doubt he would?

Attorney General Eric Holder says nine Obama appointees in the Justice Department have represented or advocated for terrorist detainees before joining the Justice Department. But he does not reveal any names beyond the two officials whose work has already been publicly reported. And all the lawyers, according to Holder, are eligible to work on general detainee matters, even if there are specific parts of some cases they cannot be involved in.

likewise women should be allowed to be in combat squads along side of men… I’m sure none of them will begin having sexual relationships, and I’m sure that those sexual relationships will not inhibit their ability to make snap decisions concerning the lives of those that serve under and beside them…

rule #1 of building a military; do not put young, sexually compatible persons in close, unsupervised proximity to one another and expect them not to have sexual relationships.

Do you want to be in a squad where two of the other members are lovers? regardless of sexes? do you think you will get the same consideration as that lover when do or die comes down to the wire? what if your superior was having a relationship with one of  your squad-mates? do you think you will get equal treatment and consideration?

sexual segregation is a tenant of military history… therefore if gays serve in the open, they should be segregated into some type of sexually stagnant environment… like all other soldiers.

so one gay man to each female squad? and one gay woman to each male squad? what about bisexuals? hmmm… I’m sure a lone female lesbian soldier would enjoy being deployed in such a manner…

Then what about the disparaging difference in female deployment vs male in terms of combat roles and pay scales… should women be side by side with men on the front lines? because you want it to be fair right? that’s what this is all about… fair. not about the reality of the situation… but about some “higher plane of existence” where “feels goods” works in Nature.
