    The fight for indigenous people rights continues at Standing Rock and it's worth noting that this article makes the connection between native rights and global warming.

    As much as im for drilling this is wrong and I side with the Native Americans...talk about the forgotten ones...the Indians

    I agree...bottom line it's their land and not for anybody to destroy of trespass on without permission, I'm all for drilling as well but breaching
    contracts and destroying burial grounds is just big oil and government over stepping their bounds.

    I don't see Gary Johnson or the non libertarian republicans you're being an apologist for there but that's none of Kermits business.

    This whole thing disgusts me.

    In the meantime a jury has just reached a verdict on 12/13 counts of the Malheur protestors.

    Only Jill Stein has addressed this issue fully while on the campaign.

    And that's unfortunate. People care more about stupid stuff these days.

    Yes, if either of them had any balls they would talk about this and pick a side. That isn't a very realistic expectation though. They are trying to win an election right now, and they aren't going to do anything that they think will hurt their chances, and with this issue, I don't think they'd even know which side would hurt their chances. I think it's a lot more relevant to ask where in the fuck Obama is.

    They don't care. They care about phony votes and following the money.

    They care about winning the election.
    That's why I'm wondering where in the hell Obama is. I actually expect better from him.

    Well yeah, but that doesn't exclude him from addressing this matter. I'm sure you're saying this tongue in cheek, but it did occur to me that he might not be saying anything because people will assume that whatever his take on it is will be what Hillary's take would be, or would force her to speak to the issue.... But I am not assuming that is what's happening. I am actually fairly surprised that Obama hasn't said anything about this one yet. I guess he'll be forced to if it gets any more out of control, and I hope it does.
