13. It gets worse for our Native American friends.
Recently, Judge Royce Lamberth directed the federal government to pay many millions of dollars in attorney's fees to the plaintiffs in the landmark Cobell v. Norton case. Rather than ask Congress for the money, the Bush Administration has instead decided to take the funds out of services to American Indians and Alaska Natives.

That's right, the federal government is guilty of stealing and mismanaging a hundred billion dollars of money which was never theirs in the first place. Now that they have to start paying for it, the Bush Administration proposes to come up with the money from services already intended for the victims.

That of course is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm just going to come out and say it: if you're against American Indians, if you tolerate what's happening to American Indians today, you're not a Democrat, and you're not worthy of being called an American. All those evil bastards better pray I don't get in a position where I can fuck them the same way they're fucking my fellow citizens.
