You do understand your addressing one issue, not the entire native American issue relating to treaty's.

The Osage tribe(I live on the reservation) at one time was the richest group of people in the world until the Saudi's took first place?
The oil fields dry'd up, but they have recently started coming alive again.

I have 9 or so casino's within 30 minutes of the house. All sovereign territory. Tribes across America are getting their lands back.

Just to address this comment. Your not correct. The supreme court has honored most of the treaty's that were signed with Native American Tribes.

Hence the tribal soverenty, casino's, lands, vehicle tags etc.

Don't forget hunting and fishing rights.

They shouldn't. We have a country, we don't need independent and sovereign tribes.

We're all Americans, and we should seek to enrich ourselves as a community and not separate ourselves based on our past heritage.

As I explained to your sweetheart, it's not the pot calling the kettle black because I've never verbally supported an armed revolution and denounced and insulted non-participants in said revolution while simultaneously continuing my mundane mediocre ass life in an Oklahoma college town and keeping the guns in the safe.

Who insulted "non-participants" other than you and your liberal buddies? That's ok, keep typing away at your anti-conservative diatribes to make yourself feel better. 8,000 posts - you're much better at this keyboard warrioring than I am, so just stay here where you are one of the "cool" kids. I'll check back occasionally and see how you're doing.

Oh yes, we're already on the path to imperialism. Might as well just start annexing sovereign nations sooner rather than later.

You don't have that option. The US government signed treaty's with the Native Americans. They are binding for the most part.

Lets get back to the Bundy's issue vs Native Americans.

There are several communist countries that I'm sure you'd fit right into. Go ahead on now, we like ours the way it is.

Thank you - finally someone who gets it. The Founding Fathers were also called "radical" by loyalists at the time.

What were the guys who claimed to be revolutionaries but stayed home to work called?

Possibly the same folks that stayed home when the founders signed the Constitution?

Its always amazing to see what a small group of "revolutionary's" can do no matter what side they are on these days.

With the media taking sides, the Wall Street fungus were champions, and the Bundy's are terrorists?
