I don’t buy this crap.

Of course alcohol has nothing to do with that statistic, it has to be the pipeline.

Pray America is waking

[lurk]

Using arguments this obscure and full of holes will not help their cause.

Anyway, the Senate voted down the Mary Landrieu Keystone attempt, so never mind.

[Drango]

I worry that the pipeline will attract meteorites that will then smote the cities.

Global Warming

There's nothing it can't do!

And, by the way, if you want to know what Marxism will do for America, take a long look at the conditions on an Indian reservation.

BTTT!

[Smokin' Joe]

So.. Native American will be raped because of the pipeline. I guess the idea of self-defense doesn’t occur to them?

Actually, that's where this just doesn't wash.

I have seen American Indian women kick the snot out of people who gave them crap, and the idea that they are as helpless as liberal white women, for instance, is a crock.

Boom towns do have problems, and crime inevitably rises with the increase in population. Without stereotyping, there is always a contingent of drug and alcohol related crime, and rape is in there. It doesn't mean the Mongol horde is in for another round of pillaging, etc.

"Native American women in the United States are two and a half times more likely to be sexually assaulted than women of any other race...."

That's because they are around native American men.

Not my fault, not my problem.

Maybe if they laid off the firewater...

[I want the USA back]

Oh yeah, Whitey is to blame. Again.

[CatherineofAragon]

"much of that violence is coming from white men."

Just shut the h*** up. Go back to the casino and have another drink.

I have seen American Indian women kick the snot out of people who gave them crap, and the idea that they are as helpless as liberal white women, for instance, is a crock.

And what about the brothels enterprising women of all races typically set up near big development projects, spreading disease and corrupting the morals of the workers? I don't hear the left whining about profiteering "sex workers."

[marktwain]

They are “approved victims”. They can do what they want.

You could use this argument against any large infrastructure project.

Exactly. Next time you hear a liberal spout this nonsense answer them with the following:

Ok, Mr Progressive, so the construction crews on the XL pipeline will commit violence against women. Then, riddle me this: When 0bama passed the so-called $791 billion "stimulus bill", that was for "rebuilding our infrastructure". Why didn't you protest those "construction projects"??? Was it because

A) Those construction crews would be all female, thus not prone to violence against women>>>

B) Indian lands would be left out of those construction projects, thus no jobs would "be created" on tribal lands

OR

C) Everybody knew the stimulus package was a $791 billion boondoggle designed to redistribute the taxpayers money to local government union pension funds and would not create any jobs at all.

***Native American women in the United States are two and a half times more likely to be sexually assaulted than women of any other race.***

Remember the pioneer stories of how the settlers would save the last bullets for their women, and the soldiers would save the last for themselves.

[Uversabound]

More *war on women* This keeps up their lies will become true. Feminists are setting themselves up for a beating.

From Conservative women! Let me at them! Its ridiculous and I am not taking this anymore.

I like men and white men specifically....xo

The left, small l, goes beyond the pale for their cause. Me too. : > (

[Amagi]

Just imagine when the Keystone Pipeline is up and working on Super Bowl Sunday.
There may be no women survivors.

[Osage Orange]

DITTO THAT~!

[cotton]

As a woman of native American background I resent the assumption that women like me are weak, defenseless and a bit stupid. This assumption is both racist and sexist and is made by Democrats and liberals. Maybe a lady like myself will get a good job when the pipeline comes.

Jesus H. Christ.

Now I have ****ing heard it all.

> Native American women in the United States are two and a half times more likely to be sexually assaulted than women of any other race. This staggering and awful statistic illustrates that there is a profound epidemic of sexual violence going on in Native communities, and lest people think this is an internal issue, much of that violence is coming from white men.

No, all of that violence is coming from men with Native American [sic] ancestry who pass for white men. Personally, I think the main reason for the rise in rape is the increased number of casinos.
