I guess I appear so Right-wing is because frankly...I've never seen so high a concentration of leftists/socialist/anarchists/communists in my entire life..and that's not including the anti-bush crowd.

But the cycle of Ceremonies for my tribe starts up soon so posting here may get erractic. As a tribal and clan elder I am obligated to return home to my reservation for the various ceremonies and rituals that are soon to be happening.

Course..I'm sure that some of you on here won't shed a tear at the idea that I won't be posting as much..lol...that's ok...arguments online can get heated..I just have to remember that when all is said and done I just need to sit down and play catch with my grandchildren.

It's more like there is a disproportionately high level of <insert whoever people disagree with and therefore mischaracterize in a knee-jerk fashion as being the pure unholy essense of all that is evil here>.

We call ourselves Tsalagi...but the English and more commonly used word is Cherokee....I am of the Eastern Band...our ancestral lands are now primarily located in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tenneesse/North Carolina.

I am an Atheist, I would hardly call myself "nasty" though. I respect whatever religion anyone wants to worship so long as they don't harm or discriminate against people.

I must say that I do enjoy a friendly religion vs atheism argument now and then....

Well met Salishe. We could be distant cousins. My great grandfather was Cherokee. We know very little about his parents, because he was not raised by them. He was always tying to blend into a white man's world. It saddens me, more than I can convey. The only connection I have to the tribe is in my blood and in my heart. There are some things that time and the intolerance can not erase.

Ok....let's compromise.....Christians...you can come our way and acknowledge there may be more the one way to see Truth (the Cherokee Pantheon has 25 Gods/Goddesses)....Atheists you can come our way and acknowledge that there are still universal questions that science has of yet not answered..see...I love a good compromise.

Cousin is not the word we'd use....I call you "ulv"..it implies sister,

Salishe, I must admit that I find it troubling that a close minded and short sighted individual such as yourself is a tribal elder. In fact, I consider it a very sad thing that they, your fellow tribal members, couldn't select a better candidate. Or maybe your age alone is enough to become a tribal elder?

Short sighted?....close-minded?....really..how so..well..no..I take that back...short sighted or just more concerned with the right here..right now in front of me perhaps..I am not Aniwodi and am not blessed with the sight within sight...I an Aniwayha of the warrior Clan of the Wolf..

Sounds reasonable.

I usually describe myself as an agnostic, cause I don't believe I have the answers.

I guess I'm a "leftie" cause I think everyone should have the same "fair go" (did I mention I'm an Aussie) irrespective of their wealth or social position, and I would rather see movie stars earning millions for each movie be taxed more heavily so as to provide better health care and education for the rest of us.

Other than that, guess I'm just a cynic, and a parent who worries about the world my kids will grow in to.

Enjoy your break, and your grandkids.

It was what you said in the "Compensation" thread that told me about you being short sighted and close minded.

BTW I heard of that clan, In fact I was once the guest of another member of it. Can't remember the name of my host for the life of me though :( Met him at a pow wow in Montana. Invited me over to the house he was staying as a guest himself, after he found out I had no place to stay. The later because I had been hitchiking through the midwest on a very low budget. Told me how his grandfather was a 'dogwarrior' or 'dogsoldier' during the fight where they kicked Custer's ass :) Very interesting fella.

In case you are now saying that you have been lying about this indian thing... It must be clear that it is very disrespectful on your part to waste people's time with that act you put up. :(

In case you are sceptic about me knowing another member of that clan... I can easily scan a few pics of that pow wow and post them. Heck, I may even be able to locate the guys' name and address. Its on a little piece of paper he gave me. :)

Far from seeing you as "right wing", I see you as one of the more open minded and enlightened people I've been fortunate to come across. You obviously put thought into issues. I have even read up a little bit about some of your Cherokee traditions and I'd like to say that reading your posts has been entertaining and inpirational. Enjoy your time with your family and community. When you have opportunity, how about sharing some of your Cherokee traditions with us (please).

I must really be inspiring..Rahlise didn't want to know me and didn't care...but obviously I hit such a nerve that they had to actually come back into a thread where they weren't actually asked to or even required them to comment on and make such a remark...hmm...
