Thank you!

I’m sick of this constant idealization; this is a group that invented SCALPING for pity’s sake. They have enough. Enough paychecks from casinos and enough of a free ride.

I don't like the drug scene at all but this sure looks like a slam dunk equal protection case.

Hell yeah, they won’t have to pay the taxes.

I have Micmac ancestors. Can I grow pot on my land?

Yes, scalping was a wonderful contribution. But they couldn’t figure out the wheel.

As for having enough…the chiefs have enough but the do not spread it downward in anything like a fair manner…most Indians are dirt poor, addicted, and afflicted with fetal alcohol syndrome, which means low IQs. Which means stupid, manipulable voting blocks, like the Sharpton bunch.

We did not do that to them, the chiefs did and do.

Then why don’t the Indians go and live a better life elsewhere? The mainstream is nothing like pioneer days and these people are not making an effort to maintain their heritage and culture, while making a good solid living. I’ve been stuck in bad surroundings/environments and to me the best way to get out is to walk away. No misguided loyalty.

Even better, open coal fired plants and sell the electricity to the dumb sucker whites.

They should go even further and establish an alternative system of medical care that allows people an escape from obamacare. It would be a lot more convenient than traveling abroad to acquire quick access to desired treatments rather than struggle with the rationed care and death panels mandated by demRATs.

As I said, it’s going to be a tough choice. More much needed JOBS in that part of Wisconsin, or satisfy the ‘treaties’ signed under a ‘Rat administration, which basically gave the Tribes cash to the the Moon and back - and SCREWED the Taxpayers.

It’s not going to be a win/win in ANY scenario for governor Walker.

Of course it’s not their land, but that’s the deal they have accepted. There are plenty of indians that don’t like the arrangement, who leave the res and go build their own life without government interference, but then they cannot get as much government assistance either.

“As America gets hooked on pot, watch for the pendulum to swing back to the more conservative side.”

I don’t think this is a big danger. Most people have already tried pot in their youth and decided whether they like to use it or not. I think the majority still won’t like to use it, even if it was as legal and available as booze.

I do think you see a “bump” in usage after decriminalization, as some people who haven’t done it for years will try it again just on a lark, and others who only do it occasionally because of legal fears start using more regularly. Still, I think we are only going to see a very small long-term change in the stats.

Nah, that was tobacco. The indians had never seen cannabis until the Europeans brought it here.

It won’t be Indians growing pot.

...this is a group that invented SCALPING for pity’s sake.

And Europeans invented football by kicking severed heads around the streets.

Tobacco. The Cannibis genus is native to Asia.

Weed is a black staple. It helps the ghetto thugs assuage their guilt about being worthless. Obama is all for weed. He doesn't care that he destroys his own people. He's still a founding member of the Choom Gang.

Obama is a good little negro, doing the work of the Great White Liberal, which is keeping all the negros stupid and unproductive so they will continue to vote as a block.

If the black community rose up out of their Liberal-enforced sloth, they would have much more natural voting patterns... and the Great White Liberals can't have that. So the good little negros, like Sharpton and Obama, work full time to keep their people stupid.
