What's wrong with pointing out the Democrats' failures to deliver on hollow promises? It only bothers me when the promises themselves are insulting.

>>>still has no banks, motels or movie theaters<<<<
How abut AOL? AOL discriminates against reservation dwellers by not providing local access number for internet dialup connections. AOL Time Warner, the bastion of political correctness and leftwing mediots, always discriminates in favor of $$$$.

I don't really know a lot about the Indian Reservation situation, but that is what I don't understand. If things are so bad on the reservation, why don't they leave? Are they guaranteed welfare as long as they live on the reservation? What good is welfare if the result is that you are living in the equivalent of a third world country?

If you compare that reservation to the ones here in the Palm Springs Ca. area where the members are probably millionaires, the biggest difference is tourism.
The tourists bring the money in to hotels, shops, and casinos, etc. These places sit on Indian land, the members get a rental payment several times a year. They have re invested in their assets, the major tribes have good managers.
They have sent their kids to college. they sit on city councils, they are lawyers, politicians etc. In other words they are assimilating, slowly.
Are they genetically superior the the S Dakota tribe. I doubt it, they are just fortunate enough to have had some good managers over the years that weren't in it for themselves. (white managers)

A couple of realities about the Sioux, or the Dakota, as they call themselves. Culturally, they have been totally dependent on handouts since about the time the buffalo were nearly wiped out in the late 1800's, and with the loss of buffalo, they lost their identity. And people without a focus in their lives, tend to turn to alcohol and drugs. So there have been a few Tribes that have been extraordinarily successful in establishing gambling and casinos, with a huge turnover of cash. But successful casinos are not evenly distributed among all Indian Tribes. And the presence of a casino is not an unquestionable good. In fact, another layer of problems is added, with the attraction of easy cash, and a further inducement for addictive personalities to indulge in fantasies. There is also the sullen resentment that boils just below the surface, of the "white man ways", and a general willingness to adopt lifestyles that submerge and further erode the few sources of unique ethnic distinctions. Life on the prairie is a lonesome and tedious thing at best, made worse by apparently institutional poverty. Just giving them money only provides them with the means to buy better quality of alcoholic beverages. Yet, they would not relocate from where they are, because of a belief in spirituality that is tied to the land. And because of this same belief, they resist bringing in the improvements and developments that would make an economically viable community. Thus, the cycle repeats and repeats. One could almost believe that they know very well that the Democrats will never change the status quo very much, and they fear that Republicans will get busy and eventually erase every vestige of whatever culture they still retain, while dragging them, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century. Serious problem when you have adults who get into charge.

Take the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, which, along with several other reservations, is now being investigated by state and federal authorities because of criminal allegations of massive voter fraud tied to local Democrat Party operatives.Fraud bump...

Republicans don't want to mess with culture. Unless you're talking about
the Culture of Senseless Depravity brought on by Hopeless Dependency.(pushed by Democrats for votes) You're right about dragging them kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. That Republicans do want to do. And the sooner the better.
