Iron Eyes Cody wasn’t the only Sicilian Sioux.

There was an entire mafia of Italo-Americans in Hollywood who provided the hordes of Indian extras for the westerns. They must have all been accomplished horsemen, too.

They epitomized the last words of Custer: “Where did all these f***ing Indians come from!!?”

“...I thought the black snake was Obummer.”

You got right to the heart of the matter!

Once again, the MSM honors Native American religious beliefs, exempting them from the mockery that is reserved for Christian beliefs (or Jewish claims about Israel). One reason for the different treatment is that Native American beliefs can be USED to support liberal causes.

"I refuse to believe this Indian mythology until it has been thoroughly vetted by Elizabeth Warren."

Good point - since when is public policy to be decided by Indian mythology? Whatever happened to "science"?

So the other black snakes that cross the land have been ok?
But this one somehow isn’t?
