Pretty girls with petty politics.

However, it appears you are merely stupid, since you wrote the opposite of what you believe.

I blame my liberal tendencies for that.

First time I heard about this Coulter woman, she was trying to justify the extermination and dislocation of the Native American tribes on the grounds that modern American civilization could support more people than the tribes could 2 - 300 years ago, so it was essentially a pro life kind of thing.

Well, Guardian gives, by far the best argument against me.

Do you have the article where she says something along these lines?

If so, she's off my avatar.

she's having the last laugh whatever anyone thinks - making lots of money, getting lots of attention, going to great places, meeting great people

"Not content to turn a nation of wandering nomads into an agricultural cornucopia capable of feeding and sustaining nearly 300 million people, we also "once looked the other way when a significant number of Native Americans were dispossessed and killed to get their land or their mineral rights." (Um. They didn't have the concept of "mineral rights.") "

That's not quite what Guardian was saying, was it. It's attacking the concept of reparations owed to the Native people. She's saying that they are better off now, than they were before the white men came. The debt has already been paid.

By killing them, taking their land, puting them in reserves, and geting rich off of what used to be theirs?

I did not kill them. Neither did my father or my grandfather.

Why should I be held responsible for the actions of my distant ancestors?

I agree, that you have a responsibility to them now, to treat them as they ought to be treated, like any other citizen of the United States. In doing so, they are better off now, than they were before.

Just cut the talking, where's the T's 'n A's?

Because you hold stolen property, in that nearly everything in our countries came from our own lands, which are stolen property. The recipient of stolen property has a moral obligation to return it to its rightful owner, no matter how hard it is, in our society.

[Ted Striker]

How far back you want to go Chegitz?

Should we return the 13 colonies we stold from King George? Then once he gets it back, should he return it to all the Indians he stold it from?

depends on who you ask.

ann coulter is still offensive. it does not help that she is white, blond, and presumably blue-eyed.
