Joke's on them.
This dude gets *everything*.
As does 90% of our reps in Washington, Dems and Pubs.
Soo? What are going to do about it? Complain!!
Really, do a few tribal leaders (are they REAL NA’s) think they have a snowballs chance in H of evicting the Manhattanites. This is laughable.
“Obama to give Manhattan back to Native Americans?”
But will they be required to embrace Islam as a condition?
I am, on a level, sympathetic to the suffering of the American Indian. I don’t know much about other “indigenous”
people in other parts of the world.
And I support continued efforts to improve their lot in life, short of wholesale “reparations” or giving back parts of Manhattan. That’s loony.
I believe most Americans think like me. That’s the GOOD news.
Now for the BAD news. IF white Europeans had not come from the East. Then the Japanese, Chinese or Russians surely
would have come from the west. And the treatment of the
American Indian might have been considerably worse by those
people. They might want to ponder the prospect of THAT for awhile.
The fact that the American Indian and other “indigenous” peoples were zoomed past by world civilization, is not the
“fault” of any particular group.
It just IS.
As a result, what these "declarations on the rights of indigenous peoples" are aiming to do is carve out large geographic areas where these "indigenous peoples" are supposed to live under some kind of delusional state of affairs where history is erased and the modern world can be forcibly removed to the extent that it presents a problem of any kind.
In short, they are effectively reduced to the same moral status and legal protection afforded to endangered animals.
Small price to pay for the greatest country in the world though. Especially since you don’t have to gamble and you don’t have to smoke.
What does Jean Luc Picard have to do with this?
To what tribe would Obama give the island to? It is my understanding that even the Manhattan Indians were not indigenous to the island, and that they found it quite funny that the Dutch were willing to bribe them in order to colonize.
That would mean that Mexico would go back to Spain. It would also mean that blacks would go back to Africa and reclaim their land.
simple answer: white people, you know, the ones that have it now.
Stupid Saxon dogs and their tax collectors.
Precisely!
What does Jean Luc Picard have to do with this?
One could only hope. We would never be that lucky to be rid of manhattan.
World Net Daily....*sigh*
Why in the world do you think they would evict high rent payers?
Stuff like this is why I don’t read WND. Irresponsible and inflammatory, and designed to be snorted directly into your brain for maximum rush.
Bump!
