You heard it here first folks: property rights groups are now "hate groups."

Geez, where are the Custers and Chivingtons now when we need them?
Washita, Sand Creek, Wounded Knee ... a good start, but only just that.

Abolish the concept of reservations and let these folks get a real life instead of one that is handed to them on a platter.

Remember A.I.M., the "American Indian Movement" of the 70s?
Some people had another name for them: "Assholes In Moccasins".

"They hate the fact that we have a right, by treaty and federal court rulings, to have treaties honored, our land returned and to be a sovereign nation," he said. "They ignore that and focus on their desire to have everyone be assimilated and be part of one country." Give them their land, make them a sovereign nation, declare war on them for supporting terrorism, and give them the Afganistan treatment. End of problem.

Upstate Citizens for Equality a "hate group."Of course they are. assuming of course, that they support equality, they must want broken treaties, stolen land, forced marches and relegation to reservations for white people. how cruel and hateful they must be.

I know another Indian hate group. The group of US citizens who welcome the Indian acquaiition of wealth at Indian casinos and expect that wealth to be used for ALL Indian brothers throughout all America. "What?? Use the money from my casino to help those worthless savages? This is dumb and hateful!"

Sorry, but as an individual with strong cultural and familial ties with the indians (yes, I said 'Indians') of that area, I have to side with the indians on this - for the past century, the State of New York has consistently reneged on every treaty/deal they have made... Don't even get me started on the illegal purchases of trust lands by the state (from individuals who had no legal right to sell it)- THAT is what the basis for this is. While I can understand the feelings of non-indian people of the area, I think the indians and the non-indians should join together in common purpose to get this resolved, and let the state know that the current state of affairs is unacceptable, and that the past conduct was irresponsible.
Now, regarding the 'hate group' charge. I don't agree that they are a 'hate group', however, that comment about, "They may out-money us, but they don't out-gun us" was, IMHO, the wrong thing to say. Even if it was just spoken in the heat of the moment, it was said, and it reflects very very badly on the people associated with the moron who said it.
Ah well, it's just another example of the divisive nature of politicians - to keep us all fighting amongst ourselves so we don't pay attention to other things they are doing...

I HATE people, laws, regulations, or things that promote or condone thought-control agendas!
