” and Americans north and south share a common geography and a common destiny. It is time to embrace this destiny for the benefit of all our peoples.”

Americans north and South? I’m sorry. Anyone who calls anything south of the Rio Grande an American isn’t one. ‘Destiny’? This man is going to proclaim our destiny in total violation of everything we are supposed to stand for? Anyone remember when a bunch of political hacks decided the ‘destiny’ of native Americans?

Here’s what one said:

Circa 1832: Elias Boudinot aka Buck Watie, as Editor of The Cherokee Phoenix, which was published both in English and Cherokee and read in the East and Europe, captured the Cherokee situation in just a few words.

“Perhaps Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were only tantalizing us when they encouraged us in the pursuit of agriculture and government. Why were we not told long ago that we could not be permitted to establish a government within the limits of any state? The Cherokees have always had a government of their own. Nothing, however, was said when we were governed by savage laws. Others say it is time for the Cherokees to submit to inevitable destiny.

What Destiny? To be slandered and then butchered? Yes, this is the bitter cup prepared for us by a republican and religious government. We shall drink it to the dregs.”

I should have counted the McCain ‘my friends’ on the ELLEN show..

I think I’m finally over the edge. I’m not mad anymore. I’m delirious and very, very sad.

Good night all.

That is the way I feel Aunt B. Take a break, enjoy summer why you can, and forget about the scum that is running. They are all unworthy and embarrassing, low class users.
