Welcome to DU, cntrygrl!

Glad you're here! This is a wonderful perspective I wish this country would take into account more often. Our tribal people have been so wretchedly treated! And they have so much to offer us and to teach us.

Sad, isn't it?

Sometimes just damn discouraging. I keep thinking about that prayer - "Dear Lord, please protect me from your followers!"

And throughout my 14 years of Catholic school, I never once saw a New Testament passage

that quoted Jesus as saying that. Not one. He always talked about feeding the hungry, helping the poor, providing for the needy, abandoning your riches and following Him, and caring for those He described as "the least of My brethren." I think that "if you don't work you don't eat" crap came from some epistle by Paul-the-Hardass. Maybe the teabaggers like St. Paul because, before he was converted, he was a persecutor and tormentor. Teabaggers seem to get off on that shit.

Maybe they think that's the way to grow new teabaggers?

According to all the polls and demographic studies, they're already losing the young people. Millennials do NOT speak teabag and the vast majority of them don't even want to.

Yep! LOVE that!!!

Oh Captain My Captain! Heart!!!!

Love that guy! He's one bald gent who is sexy as hell! He's even more attractive when one thinks of the mind beneath the bald head. He's just yummy! Man enough not to be threatened by women's rights. Kinda like MY man is!

Superb!!! Love this, sheshe2!

Beautifully and lyrically expressed, in words AND images!

Certainly speaks for me!
