Good morning from the Nation's capital.

What little hair I have left will be lost today dealing with these bureaucrats.

Maybe I'll stop by the West Block to check if Hayes actually goes to work or if he just calls it in.

Have a good day, everyone.

Your pressing two of the regular liberal buffoons to give you even one accomplishment achieved by Hillary yesterday reminded me of something.
It is one of my favorites.

flyhawk25 1/29/2013 8:55:02 AM Report

shakespeare...bless you for doing the research for the Boys from Bozoland.
Frankly I don't see it as my responsibility to defend Mrs. Clinton's record to a few rigid neo-cons from Canada.
For the record - I see Hillary for what she is - a politician with an agenda.
When she said that both she and Obama "loved America" my bullshit-meter went off.
She was one of the first professional hacks who was run over by the brilliant 'populist' cyber campaign by Barack's team. To her credit she knew enough to get back on the military-industrial bandwagon and stay in front of a nation addicted to war.
She is first of all pragmatic. But she is a power junky just like her boss and her husband.
She just got lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.
The crown is hers for the taking. Why not? The alternative is living out her senior years with Bill the Hound Dog.
She has a golden opportunity to be the first female president and to write her own history out of Bill's shadow.
Show me one woman who would not jump at a chance to overshadow her unfaithful husband and I'll show you a nun with dementia.

I find it interesting that Harper's policies are starting to take a strong hold in this county as right wing rightfully asserts.
It is also very interesting that the world bank and other world economists have stated within the past couple of weeks the world is coming out of the downward spirial and becoming more stable.
Even more interesting is the fact that our banks and credit unions have been down graded which will have a huge ripple effect in our economy. So as the world turns around, Harper's polices brings us down.

When Obama's last term is over we'll see if America is still in love with socialism.
So far, as evident by Obama's re-election, they obviously are.

As second terms go for Presidents this should end the socialist love affair and we will see how much the "crown" is for her taking.

Its so unfortunate that we who do not support the Idle No More movement must hide behind computers to share our thoughts.

I would love to organize a blockade at ctiy limts to keep them from coming off the reserve.

However bleeding hearts aside I would fear for my family friends and myself. Clearly law enforcement would rather apease the movement to avoid confrontation. How would they react if it turned violent.

Law enforcement must step in and stop these before it does come to that.

I remember a case in the sault at the legion on the hill. A young guy and friends came in for a few beers, sat down and spread a flag on the table. The bartender told then it was not a table cloth and to remove it, it was disrespecting the flag many have served under, and to remove their hats. Guess there was no respect.

Spelly, most of the time you come across as the benign avucular patriarch of the right wing, one who gently remonstrates with us when we are careless in our spelling or proofreading. Then, every now and then you drop strong cryptic hints that you know the future for us all and you are just an observer watching it all unfold just as you know it would,

ON what do you base this knowledge? Let me sat that I know you love to drop in specific biblical quotes that you believe are pertinent to our times, but, you never give us the big picture as you see it,

I'm requesting that you actually tell us what you see as the immediate and long range future. What are the underlying causes and forces? Please be as specific as you can. Please don't refer me to biblical verses and leave me to guess. Please tell me what you think is going on, long and short range. Spelly, I'm asking you to spell it out.

it's easy for FN's out west to say let go of the treaties when they themselves have no treaty with the governments - while you are researching successful FN's perhaps you may want to google the Sawridge band in Alberta - they have been involved in gas and oil for a very long time but they also effectively prevented their own people from applying for homes etc... on reserve.

not saying that Chief Louie has done this but just that there are those who will fly the neo-con banner on both sides of the issue. So perhaps Chief Louie is a neo-con supporter and that's why he supports the Harper regime...just saying is all

As I see it the main problem with rw and Spelly's posts are that it also brings out the lefty neo-nazis along with the regular reasoned responses. The Sault Star had a series of 3 parts on the Native issues that was very eye opening. This should be read by all aboriginals who want to know what has been going on. The Chiefs of most Bands don't want any changes just more money. For the most part the poor leadership of the Chiefs and poorer money management have more to do with poor conditions on the reserves than any lack of money from the Federal Gov't. This post will likely be pulled too but I for one am sick of the Chiefs and council getting rich while their people live in terrible conditions.

I know there are several other posters on here that own businesses in town who have been very vocal in their displeasure at the movement so I'm calling them out to post their business so the FN peoples of both reserves will know their true feelings and stop sponsoring their business....

As far as I'm concerned they know full well what that would mean to their business... any guesses? remember there are no groceries stores, hardware stores,ect..so perhaps someone will now take the chance and open some of these businesses on reserve.

Left Winger anybody with any smarts opening a business on the Reserve and willing to work at it will do well. There are many advantages to running a business there. That was also some of the advice from Chief Clarence Louie who has developed a multi million dollar Industry on their Reserve. He said get into business and take care of that and forget this 150 year old nonsence. I think the bottom line is the Gov't is in debt, the taxpayers are stretched to the limit and the well is going dry. Best thing the Natives can do is elect a Chief who will be progressive and not chasing pie in the sky claims that no one can afford.

What is wrong with our justice system when a trashy loser like this gets away with something so horrific. She spent 572 days behind bars with hope for her freedom and she got it. She never had to serve a day as a convicted criminal, rotting behind bars and being a lifers b%#ch while thinking about what she had done.

Fear and intimidation justifies her actions? Please. She chose her friends, chose her life and never had the balls to step up and face her maker. Other people were there that didn't assist in any way. One step up on the ladder of wrongs that happened that night. She chose to participate.

She also has shown no remorse, smiled while she was getting off and when asked if she had anything to say she said " No thank you". Not even a sorry for what has happened, wish I could go back and change things. Nothing. Not to mention Wes saved her life once not long before this occurred.

And Holmolka?? What would you like to know? She deserved a longer sentence right along with Bernardo. There is video evidence in that case of her fully enjoying what was happening. You think otherwise? If you do. I question how much you actually know about that case or this one.

Let me put it this, if I were a lawyer, I would never work for the defense.

And to classify this girl as a "lady" couldn't be further from what she really is.

Tank girl, I saw your ad, and it says no pets, I have a huge black lab.......not a barker or destroyer , heck he won't even poop in his own yard lmao So I didn't reply to the ad....... and I don't have your contact info :(

Sweetc- remember, I need a 2 bedroom and a place that allows pets. So far Elstrong is the only property management place that has a "one pet only " policy. But if you can lead me in the direction of these $600 a month apts...... I would appreciate it :)

tank girl... I know a lot about the Homalka case.. the point that I was trying to make.. is she got away with it because she cried fear and intimidation and it worked even though she participated fully in the abuse and probably the killings as well.

The young lady in this case.. only cleaned up after the crime was committed and you do not know what state she was in and what kind of intimidation she faced. Do you believe for 1 minute that she would have been allowed to leave there if she would have screamed for the police or left alone if she left and ran to the police. We may have had 2 bodies for the city of Sault Ste Marie to deal with. And like I said I am not saying it was right what she did. But I don't know and things are not always black and white.

Sweetc - Holmolka cried abuse and struck a deal before the video tapes were discovered and it was too late to retract her deal. She was a liar regretting she got caught. She raped and murdered her own sister which was entirely her idea, plan.

Again, this girl made the choice to continually surround herself with these low life's knowing very well what they were capable of and chose to stick around. The pre trial of this case has made it very black and white actually and shows how low this girl sunk in her life. These guys didn't hide how dangerous they were, they didn't hide what they were capable of and amongst them it was well known there was a beef between Wes and them. she thought it was cool to be a part of that lifestyle. She made bad choices that put her there and no excuse is sufficient to feel an ounce of empathy for her. She sat downstairs for hours knowing full well what was happening upstairs given the background of the people involved. Again, others chose to leave and she could have too instead of going upstairs to witness it.

How anyone can try to apply any ounce of empathy for her is beyond me. You say you aren't defending her but, you are.

According to the FBI’s annual crime statistics, the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outpaces the number of murders committed with a rifle.

Awr Hawkins, writing for Breitbart, cites the government figures: In 2005, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 445, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 605. In 2006, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 438, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 618, Hawkins writes.

So , um, should we shut down home depot and stop them from manufacturing hammers ?

Take away a weapon and they will find another. Take away a dog breed and the fight rings will find another breed. Take away a drug and they will find another.

Cure the person, prevent the event.

Are you on the geared to income housing list? i know it is pretty long though but they might fast track you if you are living in an unhealthy place.

3 year wait and we wouldn't qualify anyway ( my son and I). I'm just thinking future wise as my son ( 21) could decide to move out anytime or move out of town, who knows, gotta go where the work is :(
