I think her gist was that (in her oh so humble opinion) Native Americans weren’t really “using” the land, in that they weren’t cultivating every damn square inch and building factories and what not. So, property ownership with a huge helping of racism was her game.

She also totally collected SS benefits from her…

Much disappoint, especially in Breyer.

Ayn Rand said something similar, that Native Americans were “selfishly keeping all the land for themselves” when white and right people needed it. Die, indeed.

I was more worried about some of the jokes, Macfarlane can be a little......tone deaf, to put it nicely. But I do like Liam Neeson (ok, love Neeson, but so does my Mom, and that makes it weird) and Charlize Theron, so combine that with your recommendation, I’ll give it a try!

Is Seth Macfarlane tolerable in it? I’ve seen the DVD around and considered it, but anything longer than a Family Guy episode is usually too much Macfarlane for me. (And even then, that’s pushing it.)

“I believe in white supremacy, until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility.”

“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that’s what you’re asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed…

In retrospect, my Dad had been showing signs for over a year, but once he got his diagnosis, he only stuck around for 8 months. And it was 8 months of watching one of the most eloquent, kind, and intelligent men be reduced to his basic bodily functions, all against his will. I’m grateful he checked out before his…

Thank you, and I’m so sorry that awful disease has affected your family as well. The sooner we can find a cure for the indignity of ALS, the better.

Thank you- and my heart is with your friend and her family right now.

SO SAY WE ALL!

Abortion, as an issue, is almost religious in nature. We all have our various beliefs about it, but the key is to apply our belief to ourself only. I don’t care if a Democrat is personally pro-life in the sense that she wouldn’t have one herself, but the second she crosses that line into the “My morals…

I credit my awesome co-workers and patient customers at the retail store I worked in. I didn’t have time for a Spanish class during college, but I think my peers were ultimately more helpful than a class would have been.

How.....how is she living in Miami if she doesn’t speak Spanish? It really is a bilingual city; I didn’t speak a word of Spanish when I moved there, but four years of being around it near constantly got me to a semi-proficient level by the time I left. (I still suck at speaking it, but can understand a good bit.) I’m…

I’ve already done a couple “told you so”s to some Negative Nancys from a few years ago.

ALS took my Dad. Fuck that disease, any dent in its progress is a cause worth celebrating.

So, if I’m following Bill’s “logic” (or lack thereof, really), it’s cool for Americans to not be free, as long as the government provides food and shelter for them.
And here he had us all thinking conservatives dislike big government.

Always remember the Ted Wedding.

So glad to hear that they are safe. My childhood next door neighbor married a French man and moved to Nice, and I was so happy to see her check in as “safe” on FB, especially since she never gets on there. My mother was in tears; she lived for a year in Nice as an exchange student, and yesterday was her birthday. She…

I had the world’s worst housemate, who happened to be Trinidadian*, and just hearing the word “Trini” makes me cringe a little. All she would have to say is “You wanna lime?” and I’d run away screaming.

*Obviously not all Trinidadians are gigantic bitches, I just had really, really bad luck.

Our first dance was “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. And by dance, I mean me skipping and singing circles around a slightly swaying husband, because he’s awkward as hell, and I’m a tiny manic lady. Whatever. It was cute.

Sup, Cousin? :-D (Hanks descendant, here!)

Oh c’mon, you just KNOW that the Donald has played a part in at least two unwanted pregnancies and abortions. (Probably more.) The pro-birth camp slooowly realizing what kind of human he is some of the best entertainment around.
