In my book, a tremendously abhorrent feat.  Some of the early settlers would randomly kill huge scores of Buffalo out on the plains here in order to deplete the main food and clothing source of the Native Americans &#8212;  forcing them elsewhere.  (As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, we built this country on unconscionable &#8216;ethnic cleansing&#8217; of the Native Americans, while breaking treaties, stealing land&#8230;)  Yet, and here&#8217;s the thing that&#8217;s <em>really<\/em> an irony:  We get all spiritually and patriotically puffed up about how this country was founded on &#8220;Christian principle.&#8221;  Maybe in word.  Maybe on paper.  But in action?&#8230;  While in North Platte, I was interviewed by the <em>North Platte Telegraph <\/em>newspaper.  Using the figure 4,000 again, or thereabouts, I said there are about this many abortions a day in the U.S.  And I said we believe that has to: stop.  <strong>Note: <\/strong> Articles the last couple weeks have been centering on the debate about whether to make the &#8220;Morning After Pill&#8221; available over the counter.  Not only would this increase abortions (probably exponentially in the U.S.); but then we couldn&#8217;t even accurrately track the number of abortions in America.  Translated:  Our society is getting more and more morally nuts, almost by the minute.  And with fewer and fewer strong voices to object.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We headed further east this week on Rte. 80, stopping in North Platte, Nebraska &#8212; home of the &#8220;Buffalo Bill Museum.&#8221; How Bill Cody got the name &#8220;Buffalo Bill&#8221; is by killing more than 4,000 buffalo during an eight month <span class=\"excerpt-dots\">&hellip;<\/span> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/?p=334\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
