Well there just isn’t a lot going on up there in their asses with their heads.

They aren’t paying attention

While I am not a supposed “liberal”, (whatever that is implied to mean these days, seems more like invective in today’s modern parlance) questioning the bravery or willingness to fight and kill perfect strangers over an theological or political ideology is not necessary to this discussion nor warranted. The U.S. has a traditionally violent gun culture with many advocates suggesting that to not want a gun in the hands of anyone, (well actually, that varies depending on who you may speak to. Many pro-gun folks I’ve personally encountered are also affiliated with historically aggressive White power organisations) is akin to cowardice. And to imply that the bravery you speak of is responsible for the United States, you’ve just proved by point. Very few but the most indoctrinated Aboriginal Americans and American Africans would call the groundwork applied to build the U.S. anything other than what it was and is, genocide. To deny this reality would be like denying Andrew Jackson ever held office. Cuba, Puerto Rico, Iraq, Iran, Columbia, Nicaragua, Kosovo, and the Filipinos who still struggle to expose American atrocities during the Philippine-American War of domination. The national myth may support your views, but factual colonialist American history documents a very different paradigm.

they are putting those scholars in a bad position with that kind of request

wow…

I also listen to Malloy and he does not report on nearly as much alternative news as we do here or I do on my own Indigenist newsblog. Raw Story and Common Dreams seems to be his main alt-news sources. I’m not sure how much he knows about portals like ours. Drop him a line, maybe he’ll give us a look-see.
