    Amen.And we have reep guys who believe Randian egocentric idiocy running against Obama.An MSNBC host wondered what would have happened if it had been Obama who had expressed admiration for the twisted rants of a Russian-born Egocentric atheist who viewed the poor as “lice” and “parasites”.Daddy Big Bucks can’t separate himself from thislunacy, either.He picked the Ayn Rand devotee, so he owns belief in Rand’s psychopathy, too. Please join me in prayer.

    My greatest apologies to you for what all those of my kind have done in the past to the only TRUE Americans, you, the Native Americans.God bless you for having the open-mindedness to alter your views as understanding grows with the passage of time. Some of us never do.Those such as Rand totally lack any compassion for anyone other than themselves. (“I built that!”)-didn’t need anyone else to provide all the necessities of life.What a cruel joke “Labor Day” is.They do humanity a tremendous disservice in the process in publishing such stuff.

    Re this quote:

    “They made us many promises,but they kept only one.They promised to take our land,-and they did.”.Have seen this attributed to Luther Standing Bear, and elsewhere to Chief Red Cloud of the Oglala Lakota, and don’t know which to give credit to for this great truth.Love the Tshirt with Geronimo and three braves-“Homeland Security” across the top, then the picture of 3 braves with Geronimo on the right,all armed with rifles, then “Fighting Terrorism since 1492” at the bottom. Am going to buy one.It was ironic to find that Geronimo surrendered to a-get this-General CROOK on March 27, 1886 in Callo de los Embados, Mexico.Am soon to place an order for a “The Lakota Way” calendar for 2013.Gives the Lakota names for each month and other bits of info about the Lakota.

    Didn’t know Crook’s first name, so wiki-ed him, and found him to be General George Crook who attained the rank of General after the battles of 2nd Bull Run and Chickamauga during the Civil War, but was prepared to dislike him anyway.Turns out, he was the U.S. Army’s most skilled Indian fighter, but who respected Native Americansas “valiant foes, who deserved to be treated fairly and humanely in defeat.”.Do admire him for this.

    This has nothing to do with the Garfield strip, but we must remember that the Native Americans (Canadian First Nation) were themselves immigrants. I don’t know if there were already inhabitants in N America. It seems that “White Man” owes a lot to people of many countries.

    @All posters

    Has been quite a day and many thoughtful posts have been made. Really great input.Please know there was no intent in my reply to Sreejay to provoke controversy.The problem of comments posts is that the exchanges between posters often tend to lose close reference to the strip itself, but takes other directions due to comments exchanged, thus causing expansion of the posts in all directions, but spawned by a comment made on the strip itself-in this case, books and reading.Some readers strongly resent this, insisting that the conversation be confined to the strip itself, only.Don’t forget that in most cases the strip itself, in most cases, anyway, spawned the resulting comments. In this case, conversation all started with books and reading, leading to Rand and reeps to past history, and so on.Personally love this, as it brings about a richer exchange, though it sometimes tends to take others out of their comfort zones.We get beyond just our own view points as others are offered upPersonally love this about the comments sections.Personally find this to be a good thing, and hope none have been offended.

    True, Natives likely arrived here by the land bridge once existing between Siberia and Alaska some 12,000 years ago, but Natives were here before whites-therefore-their land.Love a Tshirt of Geronimo, armed with a rifle saying ’Let me see your papers".Took Sreejay to be Native American and not Indian American. Might be wrong here.In any deeper view of those extremely few who might be permanently dependent upon entitlements, can it be agreed that their lifestyle is not one to be desired by anyone? Their quality of life is pretty poor.There is the “dogwhistle” spoken of that is not heard by us, as a dog whistle is inaudible to us, but is clearly understood by both us and dogs.Portraying the poor, minorities, and permanently dependent as lazy bums, wanting handouts ( from those of us lucky enough to HAVE jobs) is the disgusting wedge to divide and conquer us all, and it gets votes. The dogwhistle is the wedge.This is the purpose of the dogwhistle in politics, and it is disgraceful. (Appeals to racial and class bias).To the privileged, “free market”=rigged market-to their advantage.Those of us fortunate enough to never have been in the position of being poor or dependent have never walked a mile in their shoes, and need have some compassion. They are us-people, too.

    Did not intend to comment further, but must respond to you.Thanks so much for the post that we are indeed "inheritors’ and “stewards” of the land, and not its proprietors. That entitlement belongs to its Creator.Has always been most interesting to me to think of the belief that the land ultimately belongs to no man.…..“the land is Mine,and you are sojourners with Me”…..Another Biblical figure ,Jesus, professed this same belief, and tried to spread this message.Eugene V. Debs, Socialist 3rd party presidential candidate at least 4 times beginning in1900, declared Jesus “the greatest socialist of all time”.True definition by Webster’s Dictionary confirms this. Socialism:“belief in a social order based upon cooperative effort, and community of property”. Jesus exactly, and why He is my guiding light.We’re just temporary tenants here, and this notion has been fought vigorously by capitalists ever since including the elite of His day.

    Yeah. The secret to my ten book reading requirement when I was in school, was making up books that I read. Haha.
