LOL, great.

The only reason an American army veteran could find fault with this thread is if he is making some personal attack on whoever posted the article, is pro-gun control, or a racist?

This is definitely a DU type thread.

I don't think you understand the nature of the relationship between the Native Americans and the US government. The treatment of the Indians was and is profoundly disgraceful. Here is what Gen. Nelson Miles wrote a week before the massacre:

“The difficult Indian problem cannot be solved permanently at this end of the line. It requires the fulfillment of Congress of the treaty obligations that the Indians were entreated and coerced into signing. They signed away a valuable portion of their reservation, and it is now occupied by white people, for which they have received nothing.”

“They understood that ample provision would be made for their support; instead, their supplies have been reduced, and much of the time they have been living on half and two-thirds rations. Their crops, as well as the crops of the white people, for two years have been almost total failures.”

“The dissatisfaction is wide spread, especially among the Sioux, while the Cheyennes have been on the verge of starvation, and were forced to commit depredations to sustain life. These facts are beyond question, and the evidence is positive and sustained by thousands of witnesses.”

Nuh uh! 'tis not!

Lots of strange people read FR...and what the poster put up here is the truth!

If we can win SOME over to our side...it's well worth it!

That is my Oh So Humble Opinion!

>>I am friends with a full blooded Cherokee and she HATES guns and LOVES Barry.<<

I figure that you’re friends with a low information voter, a very low information voter!

What can I say. She’s the lady who I bought my dogs from.

A nice lady, a truly nice lady...who is totally liberal.

So, here it is - I’ll invite you directly to think with your mind and come up with a few clear and reasonable points as to why you believe this is the goofiest thread you’ve ever seen on FR, and why it is more of a DU-type thread. Go.

See if you can bring her over to our side of the fence and vote for capitalism.

I’ve tried. For years. She says that “if it wasn’t for O’bama, they wouldn’t have the home they’re living in”.

How the HECK can you get through to that mindset??

Yes, we ought to hear more about the Wounded Knee Massacre. However, we also ought to hear more about the Battle of Athens. Both should be in the history books.
