..."Why do the libs hate the environment?"<br /><br />I think it is that they hate God. God made the world, and all that is in it. And He made us, His crowning creation!<br /><br />So they hate people too. Especially Jewish and Christian people.<br /><br />They tolerate people who hate jewish and Christian people.<br /><br />It is all about their rebellion against God.<br /><br />TreyTMinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221261635305430323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-26781614060576303672012-08-17T08:41:54.113-05:002012-08-17T08:41:54.113-05:00Horsemint tea?

Again, a delightful bunch--and they are always amazed that an old white man would go canoeing on their lakes when all of them have Lunds with outboard motors. They will stop and come ashore at my campsites and we will have a fish fry together. Life is really good in the northwoods.

(the Colvilles refer to the Yakimas as the ugly indians from the south). Like every thing else once you get to know them personally they are a delight that defy stereotyping as a group. I was honored that the Yakimas inducted me into the Yakima warriors association because of my military background. Many Yakimas served with distinction in our armed forces. I proudly wear my Yakima warriors association pin, although it only means something to my Yakima warriors.
