In Warren’s world, it’s what you believe that counts

If she’s Cherokee, I’m Sioux. But this is America, a land so free that you can be anything you want.

If U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to be Cherokee, good luck with that. And good luck to me, too.

Look, if Gov. Charlie Baker is a RINO (Republican in name only), why can’t Warren be a CINO (Cherokee in name only)?

So, we do not begrudge the Harvard Law School professor for clinging to the ever-thinning evidence that she is descended from Native Americans.

The entire liberal world is whatever they believe , reality has nothing to do with it.

And then use what you “believe” for special rights and privileges to get you ahead in life and for political power...

I believe I'm a better player than Dexter Gordon.

In reality, I actually am more than 1/1024 as good.

Hey, at least she hasn’t killed anybody.
For Massachusetts, that’s an upgrade.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

She was hired by the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School, two institutions that were seeking “minorities” like Warren to hire, even if she looked like Snow White.

Warren is more white than Snow White. Snow White had black hair. Warren is a blonde.

I guess she wants to be a lying scholarship embezzler who works as a traitorous politician.

It’s the result of decades of “realty is subjective”. They truly believe things are what they declare things are.

Childish people who believe in magic. Liberals should not be allowed to run anything.

Tucker calls Warren’s followers the ‘Me Sioux Movement’.

She could settle this in a moment’s notice, if she could produce an American Indian ancestor that confirmed to be blood related to her. The Cherokee nation does not have a minimum blood quantum requirement, but members must be able to document descent from original enrollees of tribal rolls. If she can’t produce one, then the nation cannot identfy her as a tribal member of any of the tribes. Therefore, the nations don’t recognize her either.

My wife is one quarter Cherokee and her father is enrolled in the tribal rolls in Oklahoma. We’ve never have researched her tribe as it isn’t important in the big picture. But she is, and should be, proud of her history. Plus she wouldn’t have used it for anything as cheap as getting scholarships from universities. She earned hers the old fashioned way.....honestly and hard work. BA in business administration.

Just wait until they ask about ‘Melrose Place’!

In George Costanza’s world “Jerry, it’s not a lie if you believe it”

[Ohioan]

Basically true. Leftwing thought from the 18th Century Jacobins on has been about the pursuit of "wish lists." Those people are never grounded in reality--or actual experience driven thinking. They pursue wishes of what they would like to be true. This is clearly what most distinguishes them from the American tradition.

Fully grasping the point is the key to absolutely destroying any one of them in a debate!
