"This tribe is a democracy and has priority over individual rights. "

Does this apply to court enforced gay marriage against the will of the people. Do the people or the Courts have the right to decide whether abortion is legal and under what circumstance. What about the myriad Liberal Supreme Court Decisions which have overturned democratically enacted laws.

"When a person goes to a "charity" they often have to trade their dignity for that charitable contribution. It is bad enough receiving welfare and food stamps. Say if you are struck by a car and renedered paralyzed."

Let me see how this works. If in a time of extreme need I accept freely and voluntarily given charity, I should be ashamed, but if I take money forcibly extracted from taxpayers I am proud? Huh?

"You, Claude Cornier, have an obligation to your tribe. Not on your terms, but on the tribes terms"

I lean toward the notion that we are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

I really never thought of myself as a slave required to submit to majority will, or is that mob rule.
I suppose that is a liberal idea?
