...in Bozeman, Montana, awaiting their flights. One is an American
Indian
passing through from
Lame Deer. Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock
show and the third
passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana
State University from the Middle
East. Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures.

Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical
Muslim
and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The wind outside is
blowing tumbleweeds
around and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes. The
cowboy leans back in his
chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big
sweat-stained hat forward over his
face.

Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks,
"At
one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my
people
were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that
is?"

The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and
from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl, "That's 'cause
we
ain't played Cowboys and
Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin."




And another rightwinger amazes us with his brilliance.


Another liberal resorts to insults instead of cogent argument.

"Cogent Argument"!?!?!?!

You post a "joke" making light of a previous scar on our society where
we did to a group of humans what the Germans attempted to do to the
Jews and that goes on to boast and threaten that we are about to do it
again, and you want to claim that you started off reasonable or
convincing? Please, spare us a little here, my firewall crap detector
is wearing out.


You compare the American Indian wars to the Holocaust? You need to study
your history a little more.

I have, please explain how the elimination of entire tribes of Indians
is any different than the elimination of an entire tribe of religous
followers.

And, yes, it the poster can't take a joke, then he should make a cogent
argument why the analogy is false instead of making insults.

Because your original post was insulting anyone, right?
