[Don'tMessWithTexas]

There is a very famous picture of Calvin Coolidge accepting and wearing a war bonnet presented by a tribe of plains indians.

Was the President indicating that he was inclined to convert to shamanism? Was Silent Cal endorsing the murderous slaughter only decades before of the white settlers of the Great Plains by accepting and wearing this gift? Of course not! He was graciously accepting a gift from a group of fellow citizens.

Commentators appear to have too much time on their hands or are desperate to find things to comment upon if someone has to stoop to this. Meanwhile, our modern sensibilities on the left and right are oh so easily offended.

What a waste.

There is a very famous picture of Calvin Coolidge accepting and wearing a war bonnet presented by a tribe of plains indians.

That was a gesture of a thoroughly defeated culture some decades after the end of their most brutal savagery. It was not the proselytizing of an Islamo-fascist maiden, living in a country that helps supplies IEDs to blow up our soldiers. You need to go back to distinction class. Laura could have been gracious without being pandering. I would like the Bush family to remind the world that there is nothing peaceful about Islam--and thousands of our boys are being killed to help install an Islamic republic.
