Native Americans incensed over pro-gun rights billboard in Colorado (Great Billboard tho)

[AppyPappy]

Oh can I be offended next?

[Islander7]

Let 'em whine!

[DuncanWaring]

They just want to shut you up.

They don't just want to shut you up - they want to enslave you or kill you.

[Spartan302]

Copied and awaiting some home made bumper sticker printing.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

It’s just fine with me!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Go visit your local Indian res and you will find out the truth.

[SampleMan]

The Demolshoviks can always produce member or two from any given protected class that are “deeply offended” by conservatives.

The real question is, has Elizabeth Warren come to pow wow over the issue yet?

[mountaineer1997]

The Trans-Siberians should be supportive of our natural right to own and bear arms.

I sense that many ‘tribe leaders’ are reflective of Tony Soprano and his ilk.

[digger48]

actually, its sounds as if it is a guilt-ridden white woman doing the complaining.

Not the native Americans

[xrmusn]

Wasn’t the same type image used in regards to ‘Immigration Laws’?

As to the people ‘complaining’ about the American Indian being ‘wards of the Government’, back when they ‘taught’ History, the Indians were kind of FORCED onto reservations and over the years have descended into a ‘welfare, depend on the Govt mode’.
Which it is starting to seem obvious that is basically the fate for the ‘rest of us’, save a few elites (or self called elites).

Apparently enough of the ‘leaders’ of the American Indians figured that policy was supposed to work.- ‘Why risk fighting for yours when ‘the man’ promises you all will be peaches and cream’?

Seeing as my Grandparents, Parents and family were born in the US of A, I am a ‘Native American’ as are a good majority of us, including the ersatz ‘African’ Americans, who couldn’t point out the continent on a Google Centralized Map.

I imagine that leftist groups contacted Indian groups and asked them to protest the billboards because it brings up the specter of racism. Leftists always strong-arm others into making requests or demands coming from somewhere else.

[digger48]

Greeley resident Maureen Brucker,....................an honorary family member,

so....It sounds like Elizabeth Warren has more Indian blood than the woman doing the complaining here.

[Nowhere Man]

They are just another grievance group, without something to whine about they have nothing at all.

I don't deny they got the short end of the stick and they could have been treated a lot better, still they were not the only ones who were mistreated in history. I know in my case, I had ancestors suffer under the pogroms in Russia because they were Jewish.

But they are also happy living in squalor as long as they get a government check. It's a deal far too many people are willing to make. The message of the sign, "you don't want to end up like the Indians", just highlights their terrible state.

That's the point. For some reason, many Indians are happy with the pittance they get from "The Great White (Black? Who knows?) Father" sitting in DC. In short, they wimped out big time, from fierce warriors to being shiftless welfare bums. Yes, they must accept part of the blame too but it isn't all their fault, like in the inner cities, the government handouts are designed to keep them down. Still they need to "man up" and see the light

As the late, great DJ Jack Armstrong said in on clip I heard taped in 1973 at 13Q here in Pittsburgh after playing "Indian Reservation" by Paul Revere and the Raiders, "have the government take care of me, look what it did to the Indians, pass man! Pass!"

[ROCKLOBSTER]

One time when I was visiting the Mission at St Francis, a Lakota elder told me; “Watch out, the middle class is next”

He was a Korean Vet.

[MestaMachine]

Sadly, they have forgotten. And if we can’t end this, that billboard will be us and our children’s children will never know freedom anymore.

[txrefugee]

That is exactly the line the “Native Americans” fell for. Look at them now.

The truth hurts.

[Sherman Logan]

Righto.

Here in FL the wannabees get their panties all bunched over the university using the team name Seminoles.

The actual Seminoles kind of like it.

[G Larry]

“Brucker said she thinks those who put up the billboards should come forward to discuss their viewpoints.

Well Maureen, here’s a viewpoint:

“THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME THE GOV’T DISARMED A PEOPLE IN AMERICA!”

How’s THAT for a viewpoint?!?!

[Flick Lives]

When the left is “incensed”, that is a sure sign that whatever they are “incensed” about is effective and they are afraid of it.

Pump up the volume!

[reformedliberal]

still they were not the only ones who were mistreated in history. I know in my case, I had ancestors suffer under the pogroms in Russia because they were Jewish.

He turned a bright shade of purple and exploded: “There is NO comparison between the Jews (sneer) and the American Indians (coo)”.

I have known some white people who frequent the Pine Ridge. Once a year they have a clothing drive “for the Indians”. They are rich hippies who have been doing this for 40 years. It is to alleviate their own assumed *guilt*.
