It is not often that I take umbrage at anything posted here because, after  
all, I think we're a bunch of pretty liberal folks...but I do make an 
exception 
 here. There is no 'making a joke' in this regard anymore than there would  
be making a joke using the "N" word. 
 
It is a matter of respect, and - while we do not like to draw lines - there  
are still lines that should not be crossed.
 
My doors have been closed and my blinds have been drawn  every year on 
Columbus Day for as many years as I can remember, and Leonard  Peltier has 
been my 
write-in vote for decades. Russell Means, anyone? Dennis  Banks? 
 
History will look back on us, and our great-grandchildren will hide their  
heads in shame, and not know why.
