A friend of mine was going to write a book about the plight of indigenous Americans throughout history.

The working title was Tough Luck Featherhead.

America has become silly.

[ought-six]

See my tagline.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

I have also read that political correctness was very prominent just prior to the rise of Hitler.

Trump is going to put an end to a lot of political correctness.

It’s about time.

[Chaguito]

I think it’s only right that the indigenous peoples be honored for risking life and treasure to realize their visionary goals.

[DPMD]

Honoring those who practiced slavery, kept women in their place - pregnant and in the kitchen - and drove entire herds of buffalo over cliffs to have a few steaks. Only in libland.

Will this be coming to the public schools?

[Clintonfatigued]

Give me a f**kin’ break!

Well...Sicily is a much sunnier place than NYC & Jersey.

In many parts of the U.S., the local Indians are more redneck than redskin. They like their guns, hunting, & pickup trucks.

I visited Naples many years ago & would like to go back (”A boy went back to Napoli, because he missed the scenery”).

Sophia is beautiful even yet.

These are the same morons who declared themselves a “nuclear-free zone”.

[Rusty0604]

You are an ass. I know you’re proud of it so go ahead and
gloat.

The Cherokee adopted the new way of life in Georgia, owning land and even slaves, but Georgia was given to the criminal element and they treated the Cherokee like ISIS acts today.

You are a complete ass.

[dp0622]

[dp0622]

[Rusty0604]

Apparently you are not the genius. You an only build your self esteem by posting sh## on a forum on the internet. Get off the couch, tale a shower, and go do something that doesn’t involve the mob!
