You'll find some siliarities to national and world events of today, as well as wisdom seldom seen these days in the words of Chief Joseph below. Any doubt as to why he was Chief?
Chief Joseph Speaks
Selected Statements and Speeches
by the Nez Percé Chief
I.
The first white men of your people who came to our country were named Lewis and Clark. They brought many things which our people had never seen. They talked straight and our people gave them a great feast as proof that their hearts were friendly. They made presents to our chiefs and our people made presents to them. We had a great many horses of which we gave them what they needed, and they gave us guns and tobacco in return. All the Nez Perce made friends with Lewis and Clark and agreed to let them pass through their country and never to make war on white men. This promise the Nez Perce have never broken.
II.
For a short time we lived quietly. But this could not last. White men had found gold in the mountains around the land of the Winding Water. They stole a great many horses from us and we could not get them back because we were Indians. The white men told lies for each other. They drove off a great many of our cattle. Some white men branded our young cattle so they could claim them. We had no friends who would plead our cause before the law councils. It seemed to me that some of the white men in Wallowa were doing these things on purpose to get up a war. They knew we were not stong enough to fight them. I labored hard to avoid trouble and bloodshed. We gave up some of our country to the white men, thinking that then we could have peace. We were mistaken. The white men would not let us alone. We could have avenged our wrongs many times, but we did not. Whenever the Government has asked for help against other Indians we have never refused. When the white men were few and we were strong we could have killed them off, but the Nez Perce wishes to live at peace.
On account of the treaty made by the other bands of the Nez Perce the white man claimed my lands. We were troubled with white men crowding over the line. Some of them were good men, and we lived on peaceful terms with them, but they were not all good. Nearly every year the agent came over from Lapwai and ordered us to the reservation. We always replied that we were satisfied to live in Wallowa. We were careful to refuse the presents or annuities which he offered.
Through all the years since the white man came to Wallowa we have been threatened and taunted by them and the treaty Nez Perce. They have given us no rest. We have had a few good friends among the white men, and they have always advised my people to bear these taunts without fighting. Our young men are quick tempered and I have had great trouble in keeping them from doing rash things. I have carried a heavy load on my back ever since I was a boy. I learned then that we were but few while the white men were many, and that we could not hold our own with them. We were like deer. They were like grizzly bears. We had a small country. Their country was large. We were contented to let things remain as the Great Spirit Chief made them. They were not; and would change the mountains and rivers if they did not suit them.
III.
[At his surrender in the Bear Paw Mountains, 1877]
Tell General Howard that I know his heart. What he told me before I have in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead, Tu-hul-hil-sote is dead. the old men are all dead. It is the young men who now say yes or no. He who led the young men [Joseph's brother Alikut] is dead. It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people -- some of them have run away to the hills and have no blankets and no food. No one knows where they are -- perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs, my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more against the white man.
IV.
[On a visit to Washington, D.C., 1879]
At last I was granted permission to come to Washington and bring my friend Yellow Bull and our interpreter with me. I am glad I came. I have shaken hands with a good many friends, but there are some things I want to know which no one seems able to explain. I cannot understand how the Government sends a man out to fight us, as it did General Miles, and then breaks his word. Such a government has something wrong about it. I cannot understand why so many chiefs are allowed to talk so many different ways, and promise so many different things. I have seen the Great Father Chief [President Hayes]; the Next Great Chief [Secretary of the Interior]; the Commissioner Chief; the Law Chief; and many other law chiefs [Congressmen] and they all say they are my friends, and that I shall have justice, but while all their mouths talk right I do not understand why nothing is done for my people. I have heard talk and talk but nothing is done. Good words do not last long unless they amount to something. Words do not pay for my dead people. They do not pay for my country now overrun by white men. They do not protect my father's grave. They do not pay for my horses and cattle. Good words do not give me back my children. Good words will not make good the promise of your war chief, General Miles. Good words will not give my people a home where they can live in peace and take care of themselves. I am tired of talk that comes to nothing. It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises. There has been too much talking by men who had no right to talk. Too many misinterpretations have been made; too many misunderstandings have come up between the white men and the Indians. If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. Give them the same laws. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect all rivers to run backward as that any man who was born a free man should be contented penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases. If you tie a horse to a stake, do you expect he will grow fat? If you pen an Indian up on a small spot of earth and compel him to stay there, he will not be contented nor will he grow and prosper. I have asked some of the Great White Chiefs where they get their authority to say to the Indian that he shall stay in one place, while he sees white men going where they please. They cannot tell me.
I only ask of the Government to be treated as all other men are treated. If I cannot go to my own home, let me have a home in a country where my people will not die so fast. I would like to go to Bitter Root Valley. There my people would be happy; where they are now they are dying. Three have died since I left my camp to come to Washington.
When I think of our condition, my heart is heavy. I see men of my own race treated as outlaws and driven from country to country, or shot down like animals.
I know that my race must change. We cannot hold our own with the white men as we are. We only ask an even chance to live as other men live. We ask to be recognized as men. We ask that the same law shall work alike on all men. If an Indian breaks the law, punish him by the law. If a white man breaks the law, punish him also.
Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself -- and I will obey every law or submit to the penalty.
Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other then we shall have no more wars. We shall be all alike -- brothers of one father and mother, with one sky above us and one country around us and one government for all. Then the Great Spirit Chief who rules above will smile upon this land and send rain to wash out the bloody spots made by brothers' hands upon the face of the earth. For this time the Indian race is waiting and praying. I hope no more groans of wounded men and women will ever go to the ear of the Great Spirit Chief above, and that all people may be one people.
Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekht has spoken for his people.

The Dysfunctional State Of Our Union
Tomorrow night President Obama will stand before the American people, something he is constitutionally required to do, and make a speech that will do one of two things. If he chooses to give serious thought to his actions over the past 12 months, and the division they have caused in our country, and then chooses to consciously change direction and make a conscientious and sincere effort to meld the country into one nation, instead of a conglomerate of factions and interests, he will win the hearts, souls and minds of many Americans still sitting on the fence. On the other hand, if he continues his America bashing apology tour, and he continues to present a facade of arrogance to the American people, and if he continues to direct Pelosi and Reid to do the same, then there will be continued, and I dare say increased, division in the country that will initially manifest itself during the 2010 elections as Americans "clean house" in Congress, but may ultimately lead to a second civil war or a revolution of some sort.
President Obama must take responsibility for the direction the country heads. He can not keep presenting himself as the steward overseeing the rebuilding of a nation that he had no control over destroying. He was, after all, a Senator. And as such had ample opportunity, and I might add - responsibility, to speak out in that capacity if the country was deteriorating to the degree he claims was happening. Yet, he remained quiet during his tenure in the Senate. Where were the press conferences back then? He is obviously not camera shy. So where was his integrity if what he claims to be true actually is true?
Personally? I hope he chooses not to make a sincere attempt to unite this dysfunctional nation. That will only sway some of the more ignorant lemmings into believing that he is "ok" as a President. When in fact, he is anything but ok. In any event, don't be fooled if the leopard changes his spots - he's still a leopard, and he still has the same agenda. He may be more sly about promoting it, but although he can change what he says and the tone in which it is said, he can not change what's in his heart.
Stay focused America! We still have work to do!

Weapons Of Mass Corruption
We've been looking in the wrong place all along. And to think they were right under our noses the whole time. Over five-hundred Weapons of Mass Corruption have been discover inside the capitol building. Let's hope Scott Brown doesn't get infected!
And by the way, let's get some of our IED identifier/demolishionist soldiers back from Afghanistan and Iraq to identify the WMC's in Washington! Semper Fi!
Vote 'em out America!

You Just Can't Polish A Turd
Congress - both the Senate and the House of Representatives - has been giving off an odiferous stink for decades. It may be much stronger now, but it's been there for a while. The reason? Almost everyone who resides there is a piece of crap. And as long as the rules stay the same, there is little chance of it changing from crap to the golden egg. So here's a fix that will create significant and meaningful change, and get the country back on course. This is how you fix Congress!
The "Congressional Reform Act of 2010".
It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I know many of you will say, "This is impossible". Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress - the entity that represents us.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your
term(s), then go home and back to work.
We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These people will become American hero's...
1. Term Limits:
12 years only, one of the possible options below.
A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms
2. No Tenure /No Pension:
A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.
The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
This suggestion is being circulated on email as well, so millions of Americans will undoubtedly see it. We have witnessed how powerful the voices of the people can be. We delayed Obamacare to the point that it is no longer a viable bill as it is written. We have caused the retirement of many Senators and some Representatives because of the message we've been sending. There is much more to do, but why not start here?
So, what do you think America? Can we get this introduced in Congress? We have a huge opportunity with the 2010 elections to sweep in enough new blood that it's possible. Imagine what that would do for the morale of the country! Imagine what that would do to prevent "congressional special interest" from eroding the integrity of those institutions! Congress voted these things in, so they can be reversed and voted out. Let's get to work on it!

The Power Of God; Do You Believe In Miracles Yet?
I'm not one of those "holier than thou" types, but I do believe in God and I do believe in miracles. You see, I've been personally affected by God's hand at times in my life.
So, do you think he's been watching what's been going on down here? Let's review...
There was the universal call to legislate industry under the guise of Global Warming, ahem, Climate Change. First, the report used to support the contentions of Al Gore et al were found to be manipulated and misrepresented the whole truth. That wasn't enough to expose the hoax and derail the machine, so God, in his infinite wisdom decided to provide a personal demonstration of just how much of a hoax it is by creating a world-wide two week deep freeze. And to put the perverbial cherry on top of the sundae, it has recently been exposed that there have been written reports of polar icecap thawing from nearly 100 years ago - exposing the claim of climate change, an ambiguous term at best, for what it is; part of the cycle of the Earth's life. Unable to be controlled or affected by mankind, or any other life form on earth. The Earth will take care of itself - it has for millions, perhaps billions, of years.
Then, when Americans were being force fed a socialist agenda against their will, and against the Constitution; when Americans were being controlled by a government with a Democratic majority pushing an agressive progressive agenda; when the Senate seat in the bluest of blue states was up for election and held the fate of the Democrat super-majority and no one could see that seat falling to the Republicans (it had been held by a Kennedy since 1952!), God took a hand in matters once again and allowed Scott Brown to come from 30 points down in a month to take the seat, eliminate the super-majority, and derail healthcare in it's current form.
So, in just the last month, we've seen the dramatic hand of God in our lives - exposing the agendas of power-hungry men and women. Men and women who seek fame and fortune, and do so on a foundation of lies.
This is why our Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights, and our very formation as a nantion, were founded in God. This is why we need to give God visibility in our lives - in our schools, in our televison programs, in our literture, in our courts and in our government buildings. It's time to take God back out of the closet, time to let Him sit at our table once again. It's time for Americans to be unashamed of their shared belief in God, and unafraid to discuss Him openly. And to fight for His presence in the most basic institutions we have.
He has shown us once again that "We the People" do have a powerful voice, and what we want, we can have. We just need to speak up!

Caution! We're About To Get Caught In The Spin Cycle
Undoubtedly you have been watching the news with rapt attention since Scott Brown won the Massachusetts special election. But have you realized what you have been hearing. Once again the proffessional (your Congressmen and women and the media) spin doctors are throwing around the terms Republican nad Democrat. The Progressives have not thrown in the towel, they are trying to divert our attention from the fact that both Parties contain Progressives. Don't get caught up in that spin! For the past 15 months this fight has been, and must continue to be, about a more Conservative America versus the Progressives. Don't lose sight of that fact no matter what you see or hear.
Here's a good example: John McCain. He has attached his political star to Sarah Palin, who, I must admit, has confounded me with her association with McCain seeing that he is a Progressive Republican clearly on the progressive side of the agenda. And now he has attached his star to Scott Brown. Well, you can't say McCain isn't a survivor - he's been that his whole life. But he is part of the problem, make no mistake about that.
You're also going to see the left start moderating to the right - including Obama. They haven't changed! They are all chameleons, currently wearing the color of survival. Don't be fooled.
You've woken up America, now stay awake! Get up, there's work to do!!

The Obama Experiment; They Still Don't Have A Clue
The Obama administration is still playing the blame game. They can not take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. This was evidenced last when, once again last night, the administration was blaming everyone and everything but themselves for the Coakley loss to Brown. And they still claim that the current problems in this country have nothing to do with them, and everything to do with "the sins of the past" and in particular with the policies of the Bush Administration.
It amazes me, that a group of individuals who are allegedly politically savvy, can not recognize that the anger sweeping the nation has everything to do with them - how fast and how far left they have tried to take this country, the level of arrogance they have demonstrated, the scope of the corruption they have engaged in, and that they have engaged in it as if it were normal.
They will tell you that it's always been that way. And maybe it has been that way for the past 60 years or so, but that doesn't make it right. And just because we were ignorant of the fact that it was going on, does not mean we condone the behavior. We are woefully aware now, and we will not put up with it any longer. We do not trust "politics as usual" - never mind leftist, socialist politics. We are looking for honorable Americans, who have character, integrity and a vision to re-establish our greatness. We are not looking for change for the sake of change. We are not looking for anyone who would consciously and willfully diminish our greatness.
The Obama Experiment has ended. His attempt to socialize this nation, and to re-distribute wealth to those who have not earned it - whether in this country or abroad - is coming to an end. Obama, and his administration, still do not have a clue. They can not transition from a machine geared towards socializing America to a unit that will create new greatness for America. It's not who they are. It's not what they believe. It's not what they want. But if they try to snow us into believing that it is, they will come off as hollow and insincere. Stay focused America. Stay vigilant. Most politicians in Washington are NOT our friends, regardless of what they will pretend to believe from this point out. Research your individual Senators and Representatives. See how they have voted in the past. Progressives from EVERY party must be voted out of any position of power.

Political Earthquake Hits Massachusetts
In a stunning upset, and in true political drama, Scott Brown was swept into office by Republicans, Independents, and yes, even some Democrats on Tuesday! The message is clear. We the people OWN the Senate. Not the Senators who occupy a seat there, not the lobbyists who spend billions of dollars there, Not Harry Reid, and no President - particularly this one. We have witnessed the power of the people in action - perhaps for the first time in my lifetime - and I for one am feeling mighty fine about being part of "we the people" and wielding that power.
Now I can say, NEVER have I been so proud of my country. The Massachusetts results are just another step we have taken in our efforts to take our country back. I imagine we will see significant back-pedalling from some of our elected officials. Remember what they have done in the past. Don't allow them to hide in sheep's clothing. They are still part of the problem, even if they attempt to change (or hide) their stripes.
Thank you Massachusetts for doing the right thing for America!

Come On Massachusetts!
Twelve hours from now we will know the fate of the Obama Administration. If Scott Brown gets elected, it will largely derail the Democratic juggernaut that has been trying to steam roll over us for the past 12 months. It is so satisfying to see so many Americans engaged politically now. If nothing else, Obama was instumental in bringing about THAT change. Go Massachusetts!

This From Newsmax
Well isn't this exciting! A couple of days to go, and Brown is still holding his own in Massachusetts. I personally know registered Democrats who will NOT vote for Coakley - they'll be voting for Brown. That's amazing coming from the People's Republic of Massachusetts - arguably the most liberal state in America. Here's some recent polling data that puts Brown in the lead...
Poll: Brown Leads Coakley By 3 Points Saturday, 16 Jan 2010 07:45 PM Republican Scott Brown leads Democrat Martha Coakley 48 percent to 45 percent in the special Massachusetts U.S. Senate race to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy in a telephone survey conducted Jan. 12-14 among 600 likely voters in Massachusetts saying they will definitely vote in the special election on Jan. 19. Brown leads Coakley 94 percent to 1 percent among registered Republicans and he leads 58 percent to 37 percent among unenrolled voters. Coakley leads Brown 71 percent to 20 percent among registered Democrats. A total of 8 percent of Democrats and 5 percent of Republicans remain undecided.

The Last Poll
Well the poll results are in. Of the 11 choices offered to the question "Which of these actions do you support for America?" the three with the highest scores were: 1. Take aggressive action to reclaim our government, our culture and our history. This answer got the most votes. It was followed closely by these two answers: 2. Reduce taxes. 3. Stop spending money at the Federal level.
It's encouraging to me that there are people out there who are contemplating the possible need for aggressive action. To me, that means people are weary and distrustful of what this Administration is doing, and that they are concerned that the Constitution is being abandoned, while at the same time, they recognize that an erosion of their liberty is in the works. In a way, I am thankful that Barack Obama was elected now instead of John McCain. Obama's aggressive Progressive push towards socialism has woken up a huge segment of America who would otherwise still be asleep - even as John McCain continued the slower walk down the same Progressive path.
Great Job America!

The Brainwashing Of A Nation
This from a former Soviet KGB agent, trained in subversive propaganda. Demoralization, Destabilization, Crisis, Normalization; these are the steps used to "transform" a nation. Ever hear that word before?
In America, the process of demoralizing the country has been working for the past 45 years - in fact, all those "social programs" created to benefit the American people are actually designed to demoralize specific segments of the population. Those recieving aid are demoralized because they feel no control over their lives. And those paying for those programs become demoralized because they see a growing population of "freeloaders". We're in the destabilization process now - the housing bubble, the banking crisis, the devaluation of the dollar, government take-over of private business, strong division between the liberals and conservatives with NO attempt to bridge the two. And we're heading quickly into "Crisis" mode - hyper-inflation, wholesale personnel changes in Congress, a growing "big brother" government, global warming, increased taxes and oil prices to name a few. What will the normalization process look like to us? What will it mean for us? Will we even recognize the America we'll become? This is scary, scary stuff - and it's real! Wake Up America!

How Did We Survive?
We started out by traveling across the ocean for a better life - a life removed from tyrannical government that would not listen to our voices, no matter how often or how loudly we spoke. And we survived the journey! We survived the Revolution, and over time created a life of our own, and then a country, and then a government. All three were possible because of God's Grace; and yes we believed! And we survived! And in the process we created the finest government in history, and defined that government when we wrote The Constitution of the United States of America! We survived the Indian Wars, the Civil War, and the war of 1812. Life was tough, but we relied on God, weren't afraid of, or adverse to, working hard; it was expected - both by our neighbors and ourselves. And we built our lives and our country - and we survived. We fought in WWI and survived. We became the greatest nation on earth! We embraced the Golden Age of the 20's, and ushered in the Crash of 1929. And through it all we survived. But that was before...
That was before Progressivism wormed it's way into America.
And so now we are a different America. Oh sure, we survived the attack on Pearl Harbor, WWII, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the Civil Rights Movement, the Cold War, The Gulf War, the attack on The World Trade Center and even 9/11. But during the past 60 years there has been a religious and moral erosion in America that's taken it's toll on us, even as the events that dramatically impact our country come quicker, with shorter and shorter intervals between each. And we've been programmed to diminish God's importance in our lives. Now we only look to God when we are afraid. Well that's not going to allow us to survive any longer.
We survived the first 150 years of our existence because of our faith, not despite it. But if you analyzed today against 1925, you'd find a far different population in America. Different values, different personal responsibility expectations, different work ethics, different principles, different expectations of our neighbors, a different government role. And you'd find a far different emphasis on God.
So when you ask yourself "how did we ever survive?" look no further than God. And when you ask yourself "Will we continue to survive?" ask yourself "Where is God now?" That should give you the answer...
