1. Won't make any friends that way ..

[tbuddha]

2. screw em...

There are people like Clinton who believe you should always forgive no matter what...then there are people like me who say fight fire with fire.

[kiki]

4. Heh heh.

Quited liked it though.

The guy's just having a rant. These are useful points to present to the hypocrites, although one might want to couch them in slightly less emotive terms.

[Starlight]

9. Yeah, we're much better off continuing to kiss their asses...

NOT! :nuke:

[MsConduct]

7. Wow. Harsh!

[RC]

8. Sounds good to me.

A lotta truth there.

11. Though the map seems to show otherwise ...

... the polarization really isn't a North vs. South issue.

12. To the author

of this very informative "Rant" that continues to be posted.

"Cause we ******** founded this country"


There were ten million Native Americans on this continent when the first non-Indians arrived. Over the next 300 years, 90% of all Native American original population was either wiped out by disease, famine, or warfare imported by the whites.


The descendants of these tribes Thank "YOU" for taking responsibility.

13. Rant about the genocide of native Americans...and Crucifix avatar?

What a quirky combination - a rant about the genocide aganist native Americans while using a crucifix avatar.

Who do you think was busy enslaving and killing the natives? Buddhists?

[LadyinRed]

15. This is not a rant

it's fact.

I am part Cherokee & Christian. Not unusual.

[mondo joe]

16. Nothing wrong with a rant, IMO

"Rant" isn't intended to be derogatory.

But it seems pretty ironic to me to go on about the parties who committed genocide while "wearing" a crucifix.

[LadyinRed]

17. Do you know

Cherokee History of the Southern States? There is no irony here

[mondo joe]

19. I'm not sure how much history is required to know that

I'm not sure how much history is required to know that Christianity did a lot of damage to the native population.

It's certainly your call, but it still seems ironic to me to choose the same religious system as the oppressors.

[LadyinRed]

20. I don't choose their system

I have personal belief's and don't conform to anyone's religious system.

[bvar22]

14. I don't see any RED states.

I only see states where the Democratic Party needs to work a little harder.

[TankLV]

18. Crude - but TRUE!

Exactly how I feel.

Logic dictates that the "southern mindset" has drifted to almost everywhere.

And it IS the SOUTHERN MINDSET - don't ever forget that - no matter where it now can be found!
