Savages.

Ahhhh, diversity!

Every culture is of equal value!

Perhaps the Mexican drug cartels are just a revival of ancient Aztec ritual?

It’s a shame he wasn’t more headstrong.

[ConorMacNessa]

The Aztecs? Weren't they the benign, genteel and sagacious folks who were brutally exterminated by scurvy Europeans a few centuries ago?

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Yeah, life was good in the Americas until the conquistadores showed up, and ruined it for everybody...

[sinatorhellary]

If the Old Testament teaches us anything, it is that God, while longsuffering, does have a limit to his patience with such societies.

Liberals love savage ‘civilizations’ especially those that were replaced by Christianity.
The more savage the better.

[DonaldC]

It seems when the religious get in power in any civilization, it is not a good thing.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

Yup.....the liberals would have us all believe that the “native” Americans were all living in peace and harmony at one with nature and all was just fine and dandy before the evil white Europeans invaded their shores.

Although the historical record is completely contrary to this mythological view.

[Boogieman]

Considering the tactics of the cartels, not much has changed.

There were cannibalistic practices spread across the New World. Even the vaunted Iroquois got into it on occasion.

These guys have a different take on what/who they really were.

[BenLurkin]

Or stiff-necked.

[DesertRhino]

The Spanish arriving there and eradicating that culture was akin to the US Army liberating Nazi death camps.

[PowderMonkey]

More accurately, it’s not a good thing when ignorant masses permit tyrants who cloak themselves in the mantle of religion to acquire power.

the liberals would have us all believe that the “native” Americans were all living in peace and harmony at one with nature...

Long before I found FR, I got into an argument with a bunch of liberals who claimed just that.

I asked them "What were the stone axes, war shields for? Don't need either of them for hunting and leather shields won't stop lead bullets?".

At that point they stopped "contributing" to the discussion...

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

exactly.

While both sides could be guilty of atrocities, the idea that Indian tribes didn't do their own share of slaughtering people is a myth propagated by the academic and entertainment industries. Case in point, in western Wisconsin close to where I live there is a memorial to the Sac Indians who were starving in the 1830s and left their reservation seeking food. A federal army chased and eventually caught up with the Indians about thirty miles south of La Crosse, Wisc. near the Bad Axe River. Many Indians were killed by federal troops. Some Sac Indians tried to escape by re-crossing the Mississippi River.

The army had some help in their killing. It was the Sioux Indians. They were bitter enemies of the Sac, and were only too happy to help the army in killing the Sac Indians. So whenever I read about and feel guilty about the treaties broken by the government in dealing with Indian tribes like the Sioux, I remember there were no tears shed when the Sioux killed their enemies and took their lands.
