It won’t hold a candle to what ‘Blue States’ will do when they start rounding Christian Patriots.

This is what happens when there is uncontrolled immigration and borders are not defended.
If Americans wish to stay Americans they should remember what happened to the indigenous people our continent.

The article is a one sided farce. The dacota/Sioux indians we’re savages that massacred women, children and prisoners regularly. Their torture techniques were abominable, and included burning people alive, live dissection, and mutilation. Get a copy of the book “Scalp Dance” to learn more from a non-pc warped perspective, like the linkes article to this thread. Pay particular attention to the chapter entitled “ a fate worse than death”.

You’re kidding right? :)

No kidding i don’t give a #### that Indians were massacred and all their land taken.

It’s gonna happen to use if we don’t seal our borders.

But in the fight to answer who got ####ed a LOT MORE, the indians win :)

Maybe you’re forgetting how all of this started in the first place.

Maybe some day Hispanics will talk of how savage we were when they control the country and it is 100 years down the line.

That will be their “justification” for every heinous act they did.

Build the wall.

Thanks for the book suggestion. In my cart now.

vannrox lives in China because he loves the USA so much. I view most of his postings as homesickness driven.

There is certainly another side to this story. My father was born in 1914 on a farm in Acton Township Minnesota. When I was little, he would take me to the Acton Township Massacre Memorial to the settlers who were killed. Many of his grandparents' friends were honored in that memorial. Our family was spared. The Indians responsible for the massacre simply went around the area randomly killing settlers and stealing their food. That's why so many more settlers than Indians were killed.

All of the settlers lived on homesteads legally given by the government. One can certainly take issue to the treatment of the Native Americans in that era. Killing settlers is not the way to take that issue. The Native Americans were nomadic. They did not establish land ownership. They would sty in one place until it was too polluted and void of game to live anymore, and move on. The US government ended that by establishing land ownership. The natives did not claim, nor did they 'own' the entire land area of the US before the settlers came. They simply inhabited small parts of it. They adapted poorly.

The article reads like propaganda: White Man bad. Indian good.

Focus on Minnesota.

Omar Mcgillicuddy (or whatever her name is) and Keith Ellison, just the latest muslim entrants into the invasion of American politics.

Just so happen to be on our northern border ...

Properly "protected" by the beseiged Canadian President Trudeau.

"Is there a point to this story?"

It's all about victimhood. Liberals can find a victim of those nasty white folks under every rock.

My great grandparents on both sides of the family settled just south of the Minnesota River, an area near the worst of the killing. All of the indians were most assuredly not removed and some returned for decades after. My grandfather chased one out of the chicken coup with a pitchfork when he was a wee lad.

A great deal of literary license along with a lot of folklore and outright lies in the article. Liberals never have enough victims after all, and the 1,000 to 2,000 mostly unarmed settlers who died in this conflict have ancestors and survivors who tell a very different tale. A good website if you are interested which gets right down to personal stories and family histories of the families who suffered and died at the hands of the criminals:

Yeah. That fact seems to have escaped the headline writer.

Give it time. Sooner or later someone will be along and will use it as an excuse to bash Lincoln.

"..Get a copy of the book “Scalp Dance”.."

I'm reading that book now. Been reading a lot of journal type books from trappers and such lately.

Interesting perspectives. d:^)
