This Fascist govt does NOT care about the environment, the pure clean rivers, the cute furry animals, the peaceful wilderness, the clean air, etc., or any of us humans.

These are only a ‘front’ on their pathway to control all.

They will destroy any of the above on their quest for power.

Right on, “control” being the key word.

The Navajos have been either ignored or dumped on by the Feds for years.

We basically are Democrats. We always vote Democrat. But it seems like they've just walked away.

If Dem politicos could figure out a way to blame Republicans for the spill; they'd be all over it.

What the article said:

The Navajo nation slammed the president’s inaction over the Animas river spill in Colorado that is threatening their way of life.

What the administration will read:

The Navajo nation hates all blacks, particularly if they become President.

“...Navajo Nation Furious...”
-
So what are they going to do?
Go on the “warpath”?
Or just suck it up?

My guess is that they will continue to vote Democratic ... because that’s what they do....even if it flies in the face of common sense, self interest or logic. Too much firewater fried their synapses.

Is it really “inaction” when the EPA causes the spill?

Great point...It's CYA, the less said the better.

There were several Navajo and Apache miners were I worked, very calm and fairly quiet guys until you mentioned the BIA.

What if anything are Senator’s Flake and McCain doing to help the Navajo Nation?

If a private company had done this they would be fined billions of dollars. The EPA just shrugs.

McCain didn’t get a warm welcome from the Navajos last month when he visited.

excerpt:

“Protesters held signs that read “McCain = Indian Killer” and “McCain’s Not Welcome Here” as the senator joined Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) for celebrations at Navajo Code Talker Day in Window Rock, Arizona, according to Phoenix television station KPNX.”

I’m wondering why Elizabeth Warren hasn’t rushed to the defense of her native American brethren.

**The Navajo nation hates all blacks, **

Strange but true. I picked up a young man hitch hiking from the rez to Shiprock years ago. He voluntarily told me lots of things especially how he hated Navajo women who dated black men.

“We are asking the Democratic Party to have President Obama declare the river a disaster area — and we haven't gotten anything. Nothing,” he said. “The Democrats? I don't know what happened. We basically are Democrats. We always vote Democrat. But it seems like they've just walked away. And we're not hearing anything that's of value to us from the Democrats.”

Get a clue, buddy.
