MSNBC: " It didn’t sound like a hard question. After George W. Bush delivered a tepidly received address to a convention of minority journalists, a Native-American editor from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer asked, “What do you think tribal sovereignty means in the 21st century?” As president and a former governor, the journalist said, Bush had a “unique experience, looking at [the issue] from two perspectives.” The president fumbled. “Tribal sovereignty means that—it’s sovereignty,” he stammered. “I mean, you’re a—you’re a—you’ve been given sovereignty and you’re viewed as a sovereign entity.” As Bush rambled, looking like a schoolboy unprepared at the front of the class, many of the hundreds of Asian, black, Native American and Hispanic journalists gathered before him…well, snickered.
21st century definition:
Sovereign: a state in which a defeated stone-age people can be supported by their conquerers for 200-plus years, while still enjoying the benefits derived from non-assimilation, such as immunity from taxation, regulation, and garnering the hysterical and mentally deranged guilt and sympathy felt by liberals. The ability to sell explosives, tobacco, fireworks, guns and ammo, moonshine and your daughters to the very people who support you. The ability to scrape togther three people with a sufficiently muddled ancestry to qualify as a "tribe" which entitles you to a gaming license which you use to suck more money from the palefaces and throw around on their politicians. This state also confers the benefits of being able to engage in vote fraud and not be prosecuted for it. You will also have your drug use, alchoholism and degeneracy explained away as a "culture", and have smeone, somewhere, set up a college fund for the children that managed to survive abusve families and paint chips.
I'm still wroking on trying to find another example from history where a defeated people were given "sovereignty", huge tacts of land, and freedom from occupation and the instruive reach of the aggressor government/nation, but I can't find one.
I short, sovereignty in the 21st century, at least for..ahem..Native Americans, means that you have the kind of lifestyle and government that AMERICANS were suppposed to have when we wrote a constitution, and you get it subsidized.
If I were you, I'd get down on my knees and pray to whatever you heathens hold holy and THANK IT for saving you from your "pristine state" of continuous warfare over water holes and buffalo herds, a stone-age "culture" that would have had most of you dead by 15 from some curable disease, and that you can enjoy all the benfits of America without being an American.
P.S. that last bit goes for the Mexicans, Central Americans, Towelheads, and the other assorted scum that infiltrate our borders on a daily basis.

I agree!
Ack, ack-ack!!
Sovereignty means that you are given mandatory top priority status when feeding at the Federal Contract Trough. You are automatically given preference over black-owned, Hispanic-owned, and woman-owned companies. You are able to legally form shell companies with which to easily win Federal contracts, and then subcontract the actual work to real companies which are actually able to do the work.
How much more do you want in the 21st century?
You little chickensh!t!!! You got yerself zotted before I could whack your liberal butt.
