Re: “Insert old man yells at cloud.jpg”

LOL.

I have a standard rebuttal to the politically correct “indigenous people” argument...

“Outside of southern and central Africa, every country in the world is a Nation of Immigrants."

You’re right, every country on Earth is a nation of immigrants. Now, we have man-made laws that govern the process, and must be followed. But then again, when I get yelled at, or at the norm, chastised about the American Indians and their plight, I usually remind people that they took this country from someone else, and when they were the victors, could and did do, whatever they wanted.

Now, the “white man” came and beat them, it’s the “white man”’s turn to do whatever they want. I can promise you that the Indians did not treat their opponents the way we’ve treated the Indians (set aside land for them specifically, and have them as a nominal separate entity within the country’s border).

To the victor goes the spoils, and the winner gets to write the history books.

I still celebrate COLUMBUS day, not whatever the hell they call it now. I still call it Washington’s Day (in January, that is now called MLK Day). I’m a young old curmudgeon, and getting prouder of it every stinking day.
