Makes one wonder what really IS going on.<br />Social programs have their place, but there are also many natives who would prefer not to depend on the government if they didn't have to. No, things are not always fair or equal or even close. I just don't think more Socialism will help anyone though.Wild Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173044456345120002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-50185523687350285542011-01-13T09:00:23.797-08:002011-01-13T09:00:23.797-08:00All those "socialized" areas you lists h...All those "socialized" areas you lists have been applied to the American Indian and we are all still here and have retained our cultures, so I don't see why Americans think socialism is good when it comes to "certain" things, but not for "other" things.<br /><br />Sounds a like a spoiled child.<br /><br />Everyone is running to cover their own political as*es so to speak. Its the American way. Surely we have seen this and been through this before?<br /><br />To this day, nobody has pointed any fingers at our greatest nation on the earths mightiest intelligence and defense of country when Bush waited 7 minutes before getting up from his chair on 911.<br /><br />Everyone was too busy hating Muslims, our brothers in arms of the oil industry.Burtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-44253767924124676212011-01-12T12:00:47.127-08:002011-01-12T12:00:47.127-08:00I have to say I do not like the idea currently ban...I have to say I do not like the idea currently bandied about by the press that "hate speech" caused the shootings in Arizona. No sooner did the shootings occur than this rhetoric hit the airwaves. It is ridiculous. Perhaps the unhappiness in the political climate stems from that fact that the U.S. now has socialized medicine, government mandated strip searches at airports and a soon-to-be government controlled food supply? How come no one's talking about those issues? I for one do not wish to see the freedom of speech taken away as well, "for safety's sake". No one can MAKE another person do anything. Ultimately, it is that person's free choice. Yet revoking the right of free speech seems to be the next tack for the press to pound into the political climate.<br />Americans need to wake up and stop believing everything their digital devices tell them. My sympathies to the families.Wild Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173044456345120002noreply@blogger.com
