more specifically between the BIA and indian tribes, tribal leaders are never answered directly by an agency supt or area director. almost all agency supts never reconize the tribal council"s actions and decisions, are they trained as such by the Bureau of Indian Affairs? the BIA, has tried everything such as genocide by war, desease spreading by offering goods to the indians, now by not directly dealing with the indians.the tribes are told to go thru steps in order to accomplish their (tribes) goals. even with internal tribal problems we are bound by the CFR 25 codes. how can we govern our selves, when we are stuck with the CFR 25 codes and the BIA? our BIA bureauracy is fat and overfed by incompetent indivduals, appointed by people who are unaware of what is really going on in INDIAN country. all you have to do is listen and read the news about the proverty, unemployment,starvation, and the amount of insufficient mony being let by the us congress. billions given to IRAQ.

It seems as though Bush can do whatever he wants. He refuses (or so it seems) to give pardon to two border patrol agents who shot an illegal trying to smuggle drugs into the US. That is pathetic. This administration has lied, deceived, and destroyed the middle class. Yet the American people don't seem to care very much, pop culture - sex, celebrities, and parties is all they want. I am making a generalization, I know not all of you are like that, but it's an accurate generalization.

One last story to keep in mind. Several decades ago there was a protest in New York because some subway station raised the price by one cent. Everyone went ahead and protested there the next day.

Bush's administration has destroyed the country in every possible way, and where is the protest?

hillary clinton used to be on a marvelous mission when she wanted to provide everyone with universal health care coverage. however, she did not push through with her promise and is now receiving huge campaign contributions from doctors, hospitals, drug manufacturers and insurers. So how could she be in favor of anything if they are buying her out like that? other candidates also just seem to want to draw costs down, but not want to provide the people with free universal health care.

Bush's numbers aren't great but they are twice that. And he isn't pandering for votes. Congress IS pandering for votes and their ratings are in the toilet. I find this both amusing and sad.

the CIA has become predominantly liberal.

a CIA turf battle prevented special operators from pursuing and capturing a notorious Taliban leader.

current and former CIA officers fueled conspiracy theories that Bush orchestrated the 9/11 attacks.

a CIA leak to the New York Times deprived the U.S. of critical information in the War on Terror.

press leaks by the CIA have damaged our relations with foreign allies in the War on Terror.

a CIA analyst worked with Dems to sabotage the nomination of John Bolton to the U.N.

Clinton's downsizing of the CIA led to the closing of stations in scores of jihadist breeding grounds, including Hamburg, where the 9/11 plot was hatched.

Senator Carl Levin (D)pressured CIA analysts to change the way they evaluated suspected WMD sites -- the same type of pressure for which he later accused Bush political appointees of practicing.

"I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry

The basis of a democratic state is Liberty." Aristotle

"We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first Revolution. Let the word Go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans.... Let every Nation know, whether it wishes as well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to ensure the survival and success of Liberty." John Fitzgerald Kennedy

"Fourscore and seven years ago our forefathers brought forth upon this Continent and New Nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all Men are Created Equal." Abraham Lincoln

"If none were to have Liberty but those who understand it, there would not be many freed Men in the world." Lord Halifax


"If we truly cared about our children and future generations, instead of demagoging about them, we'd worry more about saving Liberty than saving Social Security." Walter Williams

"The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants." Thomas Jefferson


"Of Liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its existence, is unobstructed action according to our will. But Rightful Liberty is within limits drawn around us by the Equal Rights of others. And I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’, because the law is often but the Tyrants-will, and always so when it violates the Rights of an individual." Thomas Jefferson


"I would rather be exposed to the inconvenience attending too much Liberty than those attending too small degree of it." Thomas Jefferson

"A government big enough to supply you with everything you need is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.... The course of history shows that as the government grows, liberty decreases." Thomas Jefferson


"Liberty is the great parent of science and virtue; and a Nation will be great in both, in proportion as it is free." Thomas Jefferson


"The equality of the general rules of law and conduct, however, is the only kind of equality conducive to Liberty and the only equality which we can secure without destroying Liberty. Not only has Liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual Liberty; if the results of individual Liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of its case would vanish." F. A. Hayek


"Free institutions are not the property of the majority. They do not confer upon majorities’ unlimited power. The Rights of the majority are limited Rights. They are not only limited by the Constitutional guarantees but by the moral principles implied in those guarantees. The principal is that Men may not use the facilities of Liberty to impair them. No Man may invoke a Right in order to destroy it." Walter Lippmann


"Individuality is freedom lived". John Dos Pessos

"In its larger and juster meaning...a man has property in his opinions and the free communication of them...in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights." James Madison

"The right of freedom being a gift from God, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave." Samuel Adams


"No Man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation." General Douglas MacArthur

"The aspiration towards freedom, is the most essentially human of all human manifestations." Eric Hoffer


"Mankind is at its best when it is most free. This will become clear if we grasp the principal of liberty is freedom of choice, which many have on their lips, but few have in their minds." Dante Alighieri


"The basic tests of freedoms are perhaps less in what we are free to do, then what we are free not to do." Eric Hoffer


"Make men wise and by that very operation you make them free. Civil Liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurp power can stand against the artillery of opinion." William Godwin


"Every device to bolster individual freedom must have as its chief purposes the impairment of the absoluteness of power. The indications are that such impairment is not brought about by strengthening the individual and pitting him against the possessors of power, but by distributing and diversifying power and by pitting one category or unit of power against another. Were power is one, the defeated individual, no matter how strong and resourceful, can have no refuge and no recourse." Eric Hoffer


"True freedom has only the power of individuals; to think for themselves, to choose for themselves, to take responsibility for the themselves, their actions and their lives." N. Scott Mills

Texas is considering replacing the gas tax (like it will actually go away.....they won't give up THAT revenue) with a "mileage tax", based on how many miles you drive. This is because they say that the gas tax doesn't provide enough funds to maintain roads and highways in Texas.

Yet, they've been raiding the gas tax funds for other projects: "Education" (wasn't the lottery supposed to be funding that?), pet projects (a local radio station reported that funds from the gas tax were being used to build parking lots), etc.

What are you opinions on this?

How would it feel to be woke up in the middle of the night and find yourself surrounded by armed men wanting to not only rob you, but refuse to leave until you completely change your life? Then you try to call for help and you find that more armed men are coming, not to help you, but to help them? Let's get to the facts, this war isn't about anything other then oil. The US wants to rob them for their oil. Now we are saying that not only are we not leaving, but that we want them to change their lives completely. How would you feel if another country came here and said you know what, we don't like the way you do things so we are going to force you to change your government whether you like it or not? Do you think that the US would really just stand and take it? Before you are so quick to support the war, there are a few things that you need to look into, such as Operation Mongoose from 1962, publicly exposed in 1997. Also what al-queda stands for and do research on Islam.

Some liberal do-gooders say that the restriction to two terms of office for a US president is required to assure the stability our our great republic.

Have they ever read such interesting documents as the 9/11 Report? While some allgiations of the comession are undoubtedly unfounded, there is no doubt in my mind that had the Democratic nitwits passed information to the Bush administration properly, we might have been better prepared to deal with or even avert the tragedy of 9/11.

Despite our best efforts, the threat of terrorism is as real today as it was in 2001; even more so as the Al-Quaida are naught but wounded, cornered rats.

Would not continuous leadership for at least another term of office be more effective in dealing with this threat? It is time to reconsider outdated laws and constitutional amendments!
