I guess they believed in a woman's right to sacrifice?

Nowadays we hear how evil the Spanish colonization was. I’m sure they weren’t nice, but they did get them to stop sacrificing children.

Killing the children in sacrifice that Americans won’t do.

They were facing east and decapitated..hum.

If only the evil white/Christian men didn’t come and try to impose their values on the native american way of life...things would be so much better for them.

when I was growing up, we went on tours of the Missions in Southern California, and Father Serra was a hero (he should be). Today, those missions are seen as slave factories and the men who started them genocidal maniacs.

“Evidence suggests the children sacrificed to Tlaloc were in very poor health when they died and that the sacrifices were not punitive”

Late term abortions???

What amazes me is how astounded liberals are when they find out that they are not the only barbarians to have existed and how shocked they are at the brutal nature of their ancestors while at the same time fluffing up their own egos with lies of how "human" they think they are.

You folks may of may not like Savage but he hits the nail on the head when he says, "Liberalism is a mental disorder."

That religion is going strong—thanks to legalised abortion (murder.)

“The chamber contained 24 skeletons of children believed to have been sacrificed between A.D. 950 and 1150”

24 Children in 200 years and it’s a “mass sacrifice”?

I wonder how many we aborted, yesterday?

Bar the door. Bill's liable to find out--sooner or later.

Recall it was not long ago that the mummy of a fourteen-year-old girl found perfectly preserved high in the Andean ice fields and dubbed "The Ice Maiden," though, inevitably, some confused her with Maureen Dowd. She might actually be early evidence of the lost art of freeze-drying, a process rediscovered in this century by the Taster's Choice people. Anyhow, when President Clinton viewed the mummy, he dreamed that she was a pretty little thing, and he might have liked to date her. That's when Hillary decided to run for the Senate.
