No one remembers that the Indian’s were placed on reservations because they never kept THEIR promises to stop raiding, stealing, murdering, and raping. Besides, throughout human history there is one constant rule. No one owns any land they can’t protect. The Indians understood and practiced this rule amongst themselves, with stronger tribes taking the lands of weaker ones. The same rules apply today and we better not forget that.

Nothing new here. The US Government has been screwing the Indians for centuries.

Too late, clown. It's already happened. Now go peddle your revisionist history somewhere else.

Well, Seneca Tribe, you’ve been USED!
Start thinking past your ‘SOMETHING FOR NOTHING’ TRIBAL INSTINCTS and think for your self next time.

Do NOT make the mistake of lumping all ‘tribes/Indians’ into the same category. They were as diverse/civilized as we are in this country today. Some tried to be modern, join society.
Some still haven’t bothered.

Sure, you can trust the government - just ask any Indian.

Right on! This proves it! Obama is white.
To: Hacklehead
Whatever! Give all the federal lands back to the Natives!

The Indians always complained that, “White man speak with forked tongue.” I wonder what they are saying about the black Arab’s tongue!

Please do look that up, flingwingflyer. I remember he was named an native son of some Indian Tribe. I figured Obummer was hedging his bets in case they found his birth certificate, Obummer could then say but I’m a native son of the Seneca’s or something. Whichever tribe adopted him, I sincerely hope he gets unadopted soon.

The good news is that every one of his lies is somebody’s last straw.
