Given that Palin is married to a fellow who’s part First Nations, I wonder if that will play into this at all.
Very true. Many of the members of our local VFW are also tribal members.
I’m very happy to see this turn of events.
As General Ely S. Parker, a member of the Seneca tribe, said in 1865...
“We are ALL Americans!”
As a percentage of the native american population, there are probably more veterans of WWII and the Korean war than the percentage of the rest of the U.S. population.
Would Todd Palin be our first VP spouse with native american blood?
Cool.
Even though Todd Palin and the Palin kids are part Native American (Eskimo), the best reason for Native Americans to support Republicans is because we believe in independence and individual effort.
Socialized handouts never freed anyone.
I thought that this summer Obama went to the reservation in South Dakota, and after a speech filled with his soaring rhetoric, was made a member of the tribe. The elders gave him the name “Walking Eagle.” When asked later how they came up that name, the old Chief simply said “Walking Eagle, a bird so full of ****, he cannot fly.”
"'Now another word. It is sad. It is the fourth word. It is the way Yondwi'nias swa'yas. [She cuts it off by abortion]Now the Creator ordained that women should bear children.
Now a certain young married woman had children and suffered much. Now she is with child again and her mother wishing to prevent further sufferings designs to administer a medicine to cut off the child and to prevent forever other children from coming. So the mother makes the medicine and gives it. Now when she does this she forever cuts away her daughter's string of children. Now it is because of such things that the Creator is sad. He created life to live and he wishes such evils to cease. He wishes those who employ such medicines to cease such practices forevermore. Now they must stop when they hear this message. Go and tell your people.'"
There's a big desert cemetery there, overlooking several churches, that looks like a virtual forest of flag poles, hundreds of them dotting the hillside. Each flagpole is emplaced on a veteran's grave, and on Labor Day (a major holiday on the reservation), those deceased Apache veterans are honored with American flags flying from those poles. It really is a sight to behold!
bttt
My hubby is part native American. He thinks Obama sucks.
Hey Barry, you Chi town whore, The US is not local politics you fool. You and the Jeremiah idea of America does not gell with the people outside of south Chicago.
Community Organizing doesn’t work across America.
