I am still a little new so I hope I put this in the right place.

We are under siege in America. How is it that the supposed most free country in the world has allowed so many freedoms to be taken away with less than a whimper? We have the highest prison population in the developed world. There is a new group called the TSA that now controlls transportation and will search you getting on are off the trains. Farmers are falling left and right to laws that are designed to consolidate the large corps. control over the food markets. Your tax dollars that are suppose to go to teachers and roads and bridges, go to big banks and cars companies that sent jobs to foriegn lands.

What does it take? At what point and time do we realize this land of ours has been sold to someone else and we are holding a empty deed? Does no one else see this? If I am wrong please correct me. Show me the error of my ways.

I feel ya man! I'm so sick of the apathy and passiveness.
I try to explain simple documented and known facts to people only to be blown off and called a tin foil hat wearer. This is what I get for being concerned about friends, family, and my country.

A former friend even went as far as telling me that my grandfather and great grandfather would be completely dissapointed in me! That of course is when I kicked that b*tch out of my house before going ballistic.

The problem is it doesn't matter with alot of these idiots. They could be standing on a railroad track, theres a train roaring down on them, you tell them a train is coming, and they in return say your a lying sack of shat.

Wake up people!... your about to get hit by a train!

Well, it is not really 'our land' is it. I think it belonged to someone else, and we just took it.

I believe the people of Wisconsin have "woken up". Granted most people have their own views on whether or not Unions are good or bad, that is their own personal opinion. But the people in Wisconsin stood up for their views. Follow that state closely, for all of the people who who stood up and protested, will now be alot more aware of who gets elected into office, and what laws will be passed. It may seem small at first, but that's all it takes. Once you start taking away rights, people start paying attention.

The real question is who gave the illusion that we own anything,we all came into the world with nothing and go the same way.Money is a fabrication of control and nothing other,it has power,that power is to buy and sell materials food,minerals and human souls for trade ,depending on how they are evaluated within our educational establishments as assets.Sheep are sheep,wolves are wolves,lions are lions.everybody is a asset,money,does`nt matter who owns it
Real question
Are we ,sheep(follow the next person)
Are we wolves (I will survive ruthlessly)
Are we lions. (Stand back I roar )
Are we dumb.
Money overrated,carrot on a stick,and is that not what they did to Lazy donkeys.just saying.

Oh ok Nana. I agree with you that we stole this land about a hundred years ago.And yes it was wrong,but if you would like to wake up and join the conversation in the here and now in 2011 we would love to have you. We stole land and inslaved black both but i was not even born then nore do i support racism.I am more worried about the world i live in now.

This sentiment is ridiculous... please, stop with the divisive bs.

Im Blackfeet ( Siksika) and this is YOUR land as much as MY land. Guess what? WHite men made the most amazing country in the world, my people or other NAs didnt. When people spout that kind of ignorant nonsense they not only prove the have absolutely no sense of history but also absolutely NO idea about NAs in general.

Let me clarify: There are many tribes.. each tribe is different with different social structures and even different genetics. Being Blackfeet is totally different than being Cherokee or Navajo.. "indians" didnt occupy the whole united states.. and were never at any time one body. Why must some try to lump us all together and deny our individuality? We've always been separate. MY land is in Montana.. and you cant have it.. you certainly cant take it just as the feds couldnt. Most of us who dont have our heads up our rear ends realize this country was and is amazing.. and feel good about participating in what OUR founding fathers created... you can not keep that away from us either. Most of us are ready and willing to fight for it. MANY of our ancestors fought along side whites in the American Revolution.. Im 100% Blackfeet and Im also a DAR. We were not savages.. we understood the concept of a free and united union and were willing to support it. I resent the idea that people foolishly claim being PC when its divisive and absolutely historically wrong. By centering on the "we took it" and " we were so bad to the natives" it takes away from not only our contributions to this country but our loyalty of it. Im not speaking for all NA's.. just the majority of the ones I have met, interacted with and know personally. Im speaking from the perspective of being a child of 2 rez born parents.
There will be whiners in every group crying for reparations and more govt cheese... but you get the idea. Hopefully.
