Does this mean I have a legitimate claim to South Carolina?

“virtually every nation on earth has been determined by the effective use of force and the U.S. is no exception.”

Absolutely.

You only own that which you are willing and able to defend, by whatever means. It was true yesterday, it is true today, and will be true tomorrow.

Unfortunately the US played the same games. The Chinese must allow Taiwan to declare independence, but the US crushed the Confederate States in the War of Southern Succession. The US backed the existence of Israel after the Romans kicked them out for over 1700+ years and over riding the Arabs who live there and now we are upset by the UN demand for giving land back to the Indians after the US took it 200+ years ago. Using Israel as a basis, the Indian claims to US land is at least 10x stronger then the Jewish claims to Arab lands for a homeland. Before all you freepers freak out about my post, the moral of the lesson is minimize overseas entanglements, because in order to maintain an empire, one has to become a hypocrite and end up making enemies that otherwise may not happen if we have kept ourselves home minding our own business.

My wife is a member of the Seminole nation. I claim kalifornia. Sorry kalifornians. If you're citizens of the US, you gotta go east. At least to Nevada.

If you're not citizens of the US, you gotta go to messyco.

What does the UN know? My ancestors bought the land grant land from not one, but two tribes (Nanticoke and Powhatan), because the two were fighting over ownership. Now, UN, get off of my lawn!

Elizabeth Taylor, not Warren. If I’m going to be married to any woman named “Elizabeth” it would be Taylor (whose autograph I have) or Shue.(I can dream, can’t I)?

Warren is a leftist pig and the only Indian in her is a bowl of curry she had for dinner.

If she gets elected to Congress, her constituents will find out that she is, like other leftist Democrats, an “Indian-giver” (liar/cheat) while also being an “Indian taker” (i.e. a Democrat tax-your-ass-off politician).

However, Warren might also be an indian of another kind, a “red”, as in marxist.

Outside of a handful of Indian reds from the American Indian Movement, the American Indian has been one of the most loyal groups of Americans around (the brave Code-Talkers of WW2; Ira Hayes, Iwo; Jim Thorp; Vietnam, Iraq, etc).

Warren is a marxist pig and no honorable Indian tribe would claim her as one of them. They know a marxist in buffalo skins when they see one.

"Also, Vikings reached the Americas before the siberians. America should return to full Nordic control."

Vikings and Siberians pppsssshhhhh those were invaders THOUSANDS OF YEARS after us Spaniards got here the first time way before then as in PRE-CLOVIS people. When we came BACK in the 1490's we were merely reclaiming what was ours all along.

""Across Atlantic Ice: The Origin of America’s Clovis Culture. The book puts forward a compelling case for people from northern Spain traveling to America by boat, following the edge of a sea ice shelf that connected Europe and America during the last Ice Age, 14,000 to 25,000 years ago.""

http://smithsonianscience.org/2012/03/ice-age-mariners-from-europe-were-the-first-people-to-reach-north-america/

I am 75% Iberian Northern Spaniard all your countries be belonging to us!

How!

I’m 1/32 Creek (Ocmulgee). We got to Oklahoma same time you did, same Trail of Tears. My cousins married Cherokees so their kids are now Cherocreeks.

Just give us the land what ain’t got no oil. Casinos don’t need no oil, nohow.

State of Oklahoma said in 1972 they’d pay me $50.00 for my percentage. Could use that right about now. ‘Course I live in South Carolina, more redneck than redskin, so who do those Catawbas think they are, anyhoo?

Ever meet an Indian who didn’t like his guns?

Ugh!

;^)

You can not have all of it. My great grandmother was a Cherokee and her kids were offered land in Indian Territory/OK back in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s. We still can not figure out how she ended up in MS. Wonder if we can still claim it. ; )

That sounds close to an anarchist statement? You have to trust someone to believe as you do or we’re lost.
