I had no idea the Native Americans experienced a government shutdown also.
= == = = = = = = = = = = = = =
And they were hauled off to reeducation camps..would have made the Commissars proud.....

The forerunner to such great lines as...

“When it comes to Illegal Immigration, ask the American Indians how that worked out”?

Picture of Pilgrims debarking at Plymouth Rock and one Indian turns to the other and says “There goes the neighborhood”.

And one of the ‘greats’..

“We are from the Government and here to help you”.

They should change the Washington Redskins to a name that does not bring despicable and negative associations:

“The Redskins”

Never give in to the professionally outraged.

Permanent outrage is at full volume all the time, whatever happens. It is never appeased by anything you do. Even full surrender doesn’t satisfy it, it just moves on in search of another host upon which to feed.

Tune it out. Smile and go about your business.

Can these folks get Obama to change his name back to Barry Soreto?

The name Barack Obama offends me.

Why just the Washington Redskins???

Because it contains the word "skin", preceded by a color. It's easy to convince the sheep it's racist. And they know damn well that PC metrosexual sports consumer types won't lift a finger to learn the actual history of the term.

They're going to win this battle. The Redskins will eventually acquiesce.

Maybe they should change their name to the "Washington Ratskins".    That sounds vaguely similar to "Redskins" (for traditionalists), and at the same time it instantly brings to mind the politicians who infest the city.

(No offense intended for genuine Redskins fans.)

A couple posts here have suggested that the "New York Giants" should also have to change their name, as they offend "giants" everywhere, and I would just like to add that their name also offends "little people", who are excluded and discriminated against from their current name.

Why are so many, including the president, suddenly eager to talk about Indian nicknames of sports teams as some pressing national issue?????

:::::::::

Minority votes. That is all it has EVER been about.
