No, It's Native American. American Indian was finally dropped due to the fact that it was always a misnomer. Columbus thought he was going to India the long way, dig? You and I (although I am 1/32) are NOT Native Americans. We are "native-born" but that's a different thing altogether. Unless you just want to define everything in a way that pleases you. Please feel free, but realize that the "American Indian" tag is offensive to Native Americans and really based on both ignorance and then ethinic disregard. Cool. Now you know. You're welcome.

It really ain't America no more.
It hasn't been for a long, long time.


You maybe right, but people are waking up to it. Listen how this guy explains Margret Sanger to these woman and tries to get them to understand. His facts aren't all completely right on, but his main points are correct. He had that woman thinking and she probably went home and did the research.

The sleeping dragon really is awakening. That woman got smeared in the media and she may have been a novice, but what she said is true. She can see it even if she is new to the political debate. I'm not new to it and I can confirm, something is happening here.

watching the video just made me so angry i had to turn it off, i seem to be very short tempered when it comes to severe ignorance lately as it has become so abundant

the only reason i choose to reply is to make one thing clear

so often good men and women who are TRUE patriots, (not the unquestioning asleep sheep patriots that the government claims are patriots now) are abused, arrested, made to be a joke, etc are called terrorists for being true patriots

well here on camera, a member of law enforcement, even if hes only security or not, (i did not catch his title) makes a statement saying this is no longer america, and that is what allows him to make the decisions in his job that he is making


if thats not a terroristic claim/statement then i dont believe i have ever heard one

simply put there is physical evidence of him saying that on video

that is more then enough to have that man fired

and the owner of this tape should go forward and make sure he is fired

it may only be one out of the thousand real domestic terrorists that we have, but at least its a start and would be one less terrorist in power

he is obviously concerned with following orders, and agendas, not the in the least bit interested in the constitution and he has no right to have his job that he does

i must also say, i dont know what crime is worse, the man stating this is no longer america, when he has the jobs that he does

or if the man who has this video does not pursue justice against that man

for in my opinion its one thing to be tyrannical, however its a whole lot worse to allow it

Okay, I'm must come to the police officer defense. In my humble opinion, the officer was agreeing with the person holding the camera, and didn't like enforcing that law but he has to as it is his job. He stated this ain't America no more not to agree with the direction but to sympathize with the camera holder. At least if I were a cop this is how I would tell people that I'm frustrated as hell with having to confront law abiding citizens expressing their own free speech.


your idea is well said, i actually can see your point on that, and if that is the case i wish the man was a bit more informative with his words, he could have said just a few more things and then i would be more in support of the officer, i think as with all people in power, they should be more careful when choosing their words, he could have simply been a little more careful in choosing his words, then i would support him, but use his statements hopefully against his employers as it is their decision to make him do the job that way

we have a very heated climate today, it seems a few wrongly chosen words could actually send this country into a very serious situation, also with the way things are, people want to figure out why they are the way they are, so when things like this happen, people want to know, is this officer being biasedor abusive of his powers, or is he just doing the job hes told to do and we have much bigger problems


"if you have a cop on duty admit this isnt america anymore i dont like my job but im doing what they are making me do" or in anything similar, then we could stop focusing on cops and start working to remove the real problem that is higher up

Yes, I agree. It is a start - take him to court - if for no other reason, to show that we just aren't going to turn a blind eye to this sort of thing anymore. We have GOT to fight for our rights - our freedoms - we shouldn't have to, but if we don't, we will lose everything our fathers and brothers and grandfathers fought for. Freedom. The constitution.

...a person that claims a 1/32nd indigenous connection is speaking for all american ndns... THAT is the epitome of arrogance... tsk, tsk, tsk...

...among ndns, you'll find some that dont mind either term, some that prefer american ndn and some that prefer native american but no one really gives a hoot enough to fight over it or take offense to it because their true identity is tribal...

First amendment rights are the same on School grounds.



en.wikipedia.org...



In Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503 (1969), the Supreme Court ruled that free speech rights extended to students in school. The case involved several students who were punished for wearing black arm-bands to protest the Vietnam War. The Supreme Court ruled that the school could not restrict symbolic speech that did not cause undue interruptions of school activities. Justice Abe Fortas wrote,

Decided June 25, 2007

Chief Justice Roberts delivered the opinion of the Court.

At a school-sanctioned and school-supervised event, a high school principal saw some of her students unfurl a large banner conveying a message she reasonably regarded as promoting illegal drug use. Consistent with established school policy prohibiting such messages at school events, the principal directed the students to take down the banner. One student--among those who had brought the banner to the event--refused to do so. The principal confiscated the banner and later suspended the student. The Ninth Circuit held that the principal's actions violated the First Amendment, and that the student could sue the principal for damages.

wow wow wow. just because one group of people is doing do not refer to every black person as they. that is extremely racist and uncalled for. Each person has there own choice in what actions he/she black/white/whatever chooses to do. So to say"they" as in a hole or a generality is incorrect and wrong of you to do so. I work with a black man who does not feel "privilaged" to do what he feels he still follows all the laws i do. you know what your comment is not worth it and mod should take it off.

Once again most of you have failed to read, instead jumping to conclusions that support your preconceived notions. The guy in the video is a school security guard, NOT a police officer.

Every American is a native American unless they are an immigrant or a legal resident. I was born here, therefore I am a native American.

Perhaps you were referring to the AMERICAN INDIANS?

You're actually more like an invasive species.

This is starting to get a little rediculous, the guy is a school security guard for Christ's sake. Coming from someone who has the same job as this guy, you should know that he has NO POWER! haha! He's not some sheep trying to suppress the ideals of these so called "true patriots." He's just some guy, probably trying to put food on the table for his family. You all need to start looking past the titles and positions and look at the men and women whom you criticize for who they really are: human beings, just like you.

All this bickering and infighting is getting us no where. Ever heard of this little limerick, "United we stand, divided we fall"? Stop with the delusions! There is going to be NO revolution; not now, not in ten years, I'd go so far as to say probably not even within this century. We have nothing to revolt against! How many of you are having your civil rights and liberties impeded upon on a daily basis? Do you still have food? Do you still have a job (for those who work)? Aren't you still able to use the internet and say whatever it is you want to say?? When the first ATS member gets his/her home busted in to and gets arrested due to something they said on here, then, and only then, will I advocate revolution. For now, deal with it. I wasn't a member during the time of the Patriot Act, but I wonder how many of you were so up in arms about that. For those who weren't, is this just simply a partisan issue for you? Get over it.
