11-20 million illegals think America is a fucking ok. Funny how the America hating lib's think it's ok for the illegals also. I would rather keep the hard working Mexicans and send the useless snowflakes south.

There are far more than 20 million illegals.
That's one of the reasons the snake Obama told illegals to go and vote in the election.

That never happened.
But...there are plenty of fools like you willing to believe the worst about America.
Collectively these data suggest that population numbered about 1,894,350 at about A.D. 1500. Epidemics and other factors reduced this number to only 530,000 by 1900. Modern data suggest that by 1985 population size has increased to over 2.5 million.

It was never 'their land.'
Stone age savages never had a concept of property rights until the Europeans brought capitalism to the continent.
1. But didn't the colonists steal THEIR land?
"The implications for the Indian question are straightforward. Namely: In the extremely unlikely event that any particular Indian can show that he personally is the rightful heir of a particular Indian who was wrongfully dispossessed of a particular piece of property, the current occupants should hand him the keys to his birthright and vacate the premises. Otherwise the current occupants have the morally strongest claim to their property,and the status quo should continue.
Anything more isjust the doctrine of collective guiltmasquerading as a defense of property rights."
Do Indians Rightfully Own America Bryan Caplan EconLog Library of Economics and Liberty
2. "One popular history of Manhattan notes that the Canarsie Indians "dwelt on Long Island, merely trading on Manhattan, and their trickery [in selling what they didn't possess to the Dutch] made it necessary for the white man to buy part of the island over again from the tribes living near Washington Heights. Still more crafty were the Raritans of [Staten Island], for therecords show that Staten Island was sold by these Indians no less than six times."
The Straight Dope How much would the 24 paid for Manhattan be worth in today s money
1626 Peter Minuit purchased the island of Manhattan from the Canarsee Native Americans on May 24, 1626. However, the Canarsee were actually native to Brooklyn, while Manhattan was home instead to the Weckquaesgeek,(Wappnai) who were not pleased by the exchange and later battled the Dutch in Kieft's War. Peter Minuit (1589-1638)
3. And because they had no concept of private property, Indians regularly killed the animals that they hunted to the point of extinction.
American Indians were almost certainly responsible for the extinction of many large mammal species:
Until ten thousand years ago an incredible bestiary of mammals roamed North America. These were the so-called mega-fauna, an exotic menagerie that included the woolly mammoth, saber-toothed tiger, giant sloth, giant beaver, camel, horse, two-toed horse,and dire wolf. These were the dominant fauna on this continent for tens of millions of years. Then suddenly and mysteriously they disappeared.
Alton Chase, "Playing God In Yellowstone," p. 100
a. "The Vore buffalo jump site in Wyoming...was used five times between 1550 and 1690,and holds the remains of 20,000 buffalo. That means 4,000 or more buffalo were killed each time the jump was used. Other buffalo jumps in the West display the remains of as many as 300,000 buffalo. These sites were so numerous, in fact, and held such large deposits of bone, that for many years they were mined as a source of phosphorus for fertilizer!"
Frison, G.C., "Prehistoric Hunters of the High Plains," pp.239-44
4. Why were they so cavalier, so thoughtless about the future?
Because the animals were there. Destruction was second nature, not consideration of the future.
That's pretty much the difference between said culture, and civilized examples.

Native Americans had no concept of the wheel. FACT
They had no written language. FACT
They practiced Institutionalized Cannibalism in the regions South of the American Border and well into South America. FACT.
They treated their women worse than they treated their animals. FACT
They had no concept of Animal Husbandry. The only domesticated animals they kept were a few Turkeys and maybe some rabbits. FACT. That is why, when they wiped out all the wild game in an area, they'd turn to Cannibalism. They brought human captives and slaves along with them in their migratory journeys as a FOOD SOURCE. FACT.
They had no beasts of burden. No Horses, no Mules, no oxen, no jackasses (until dimocrap scum came along. Now they've got plenty)
They had no tools to speak of. Stone axes, flint arrowheads.
Native Americans were quite possible THE most backwards group of morons on the Planet before Columbus. FACT.
They were, in FACT, Stone Age savages.
FACT.
While there certainly were some good things about Native Americans, they were as backward and stupid as backward and stupid gets.
And they were NOT nice people.
When you got too old to keep up with the rest of the Tribe, they just sent you away to go die on a hill top or in a cave somewhere.
dimocrap scum invariably romanticize things and people too far in the past to worry about.

The concept that aboriginal people lived a more honorable life because they were closer to nature is a myth. As with any groups in history they overused resources and committed atrocities against each other. Instead of advancing language and tools their cultures stayed stagnant for 10s of thousands of years. As far as stewards of the land they have overfished two walleye lakes in Minnesota with spring netting.

While the programs are great for colleges — they have enabled an astronomical increase in tuition — they contain few measures holding the institutions accountable to their students. As a result, only 59 percent of students graduate from four-year colleges and universities within six years.

13. According to the 2016 Index of Economic Freedom, an annual publication by The Heritage Foundation, America’s economic freedom has tumbled. With losses of economic freedom in eight of the past nine years, the U.S. has tied its worst score ever, wiping out a decade of progress. Since early 2009:
• Government spending has exploded, amounting to $29,867 per household in 2015.
• The national debt has risen to $125,000 for every tax filing household in America—a total over $18 trillion.
• The government takeover of health care is raising prices and disrupting markets.
• Bailouts and new government regulations have increased uncertainty, stifling investment and job creation. America’s Economic Freedom Has Rapidly Declined Under Obama

The recession officially ended more than 6 years ago. Wages and incomes have always grown in recoveries, not declined. Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery. The economy is supposed to boom in a recovery to catch up with its long term economic growth trendline. But over 6 years after the recession ended, that still has not happened.

Looks like some may want to read a little more about the archaeological findings over the years. Tribes all have variables throughout the world. Many Indian customs came from ancient religious customs. Some of those tribes retained pagan sacrifice others retain peaceful teachings about the great white spirit. Some of my family historically came from more peaceful tribes.
The Saga of Ancient Hebrew Explorers -- Who Really Discovered America?
"There is archaeological evidence, in fact, that the fleets of Solomon and Hiram of Tyre circumnavigated the globe, sailing from Ezion-geber, a port at tne terminus of the Red Sea, near modern Aqaba or Eliat! Hebrew customs, discovered by the early English settlers in the Americas, were found among some of the Indian tribes, including the wearing of phylacteries! Minoan and Phoenician coins have been found, and inscriptions of ancient Phoenician and Minoan scripts, in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and the Star of David was even found in an ancient ruin of the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico! In the middle of the second millennium, B.C., and down to the time of Solomon, circa 1000 B.C., oceanic travel by maritime powers in the Middle East seems to have been fairly common."

dimocrap scum are fond of claiming that GW 'wrecked the economy'. But when you ask them exactly what he did to 'wreck the economy' all you get is a blank stare.
Which is an improvement for most dimocrap scum. They're usually standing around, drooling.
How did the Lying Cocksucker wreck the economy? By turning loose the EPA. By allowing -- No; ENCOURAGING environMENTAL groups to sue the EPA while having a pre-arranged settlement all written that, just by happenstance, favors the environMENTAList group. Then they'd go before a Court, have a Judge okay it (the EPA wouldn't fight it), thereby giving it legitimacy.
The Lying Cocksucker (he IS a cocksucker. Literally. Everybody in Chicago knows it) wrote more pages of regulations in 2016 than laws were passed by a margin of 20 to 1
dimocraps are scum
They defend the indefensible. When cornered, they double-down. When proven to be wrong, they get worse, not better. When defeated, they fight back using dirty tricks.
People, we may be witnessing an historic event before our eyes. I firmly believe this could be the end of the democrat party.
If things hold true to course and we take 12 or more of the 23 Senate seats dimocrap scum have exposed in the 2018 midterms.......
It's over. They got nothing. They got no one. Their current leadership, their highest ranking members, Nazi Pelousy, Biden, Pocahontas, Bernie Sanders, Ubercunt -- AVERAGE over 70 years old.
Who they got? Nobody.
A cornered rat will fight and bare its teeth. To the end.
That's what we got in the dimocrap scum Party right now. Hopefully, it will be their last fight -- EVER. And maybe someday we can actually have a choice instead of the way it is now -- Vote for the scum of the Earth dimocrap or for someone just because he or she isn't a dimocrap.
That's not much of a choice.

Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery.

Peace in the country. I might mention that he left office with a 65% approval rating which is basically unheard of. Guess what Bush did? Tax cuts for the rich in 2001 and 2003.

Boy howdy but is this post full of some historical ignorance. Sure, you can find some atrocities scattered around here and there. But when it comes to the kidnapping of children, well let's just say that when the earliest settlers went to get their kids back from the Native Americans most of the time the kids refused to go. They were treated better, and lived better, among the Native Americans than in the colonies. Roger Williams lost his daughter to the Native Americans, and despite his well respected status among them, could not get her to return. Even the Comanche have their Cynthia Ann Parker.
But most certainly your description of the children and women naked by the camp fire was not about Comanches. Those had to be Karankawa, the described activity is typical of their treatment of prisoners and captives and they were often mistaken as Comanche. They are also the source of the "cannibalism" myth of Native Americans. See, almost all the evidence of this cannibalism comes from Spanish. Queen Isabella had forbidden the trading of Native Americans and Africans as slaves UNLESS they were cannibals. The evidence was more than likely manufactured or embellished in order to rationalize the taking of slaves.
The truth is cannibalism was no more prevalent among Native American tribes than among Europeans. You can no more call Native Americans cannibals because of a few isolated incidents than you can call white Anglo-Saxons cannibals because of Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer.

The Census Bureau reports that since Obama became President 7 years ago, real median household income has fallen by $1,300 a year. Heritage Foundation Chief Economist Steve Moore explained in testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, “At 2 percent growth the economy doesn’t spin off enough jobs to increase wages, and tax revenues grow much too slowly to balance the budget.”
The recession officially ended more than 6 years ago. Wages and incomes have always grown in recoveries, not declined. Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery. The economy is supposed to boom in a recovery to catch up with its long term economic growth trendline. But over 6 years after the recession ended, that still has not happened. Instead, what we have gotten under President Obama is the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression." Realizing The Super Bowl Of American Economic Growth

Especially in economically depressed states and job-starved upstate New York.

That makes boosting economic growth a life- and- death issue. But you wouldn't know it listening to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. President Obama whitewashes reality, claiming the "American economy is pretty darn good right now."

b. has left the world in the worst turmoil, and closer to nuclear chaos than any President in memory.

Peace in the country. I might mention that he left office with a 65% approval rating which is basically unheard of. Guess what Bush did? Tax cuts for the rich in 2001 and 2003. Started two wars...one totally unnecessary. Left the country with a crashing economy which had it not been handled right would have led to another depression.

"The truth is cannibalism was no more prevalent among Native American tribes than among Europeans."
Take notes, you dunce:
Craig Childs wrote in the NYTimes “A Past That Makes Us Squirm,” “children killed the same way, human sacrifices to an ancient water deity, their bodies buried under pre-Columbian ball courts or at the foot of pillars in important rooms,” “archaeological record of the Americas read like a war-crimes indictment, with charred skeletons stacked like cordwood and innumerable human remains missing heads, legs and arms.
In the American Southwest, which is my area of research, human tissue has been found cooked to the insides of kitchen jars and stained into a ceramic serving ladle.
A grinding stone was found full of crushed human finger bones. A sample of human feces came up containing the remains of a cannibal’s meal.” Childs also refers to the accuracy of “ Mel Gibson’s movie ‘Apocalypto.’ “ How do we rectify the age-old perception of noble and peaceful native America with the reality that at times violence was coordinated on a scale never before witnessed by humanity? The answer is simple. We don’t.”

What an over inflated ego. You merely confirmed what I said. Did you miss the part about "isolated incidences"? Yep, the Aztecs engaged in ritual sacrifice and sometimes the warriors ate them some human. Hell, I even admitted as much to the Karankawa, an isolated tribe from Southeast Texas. And then you go and post something from 2007, an expert in, you guessed it, isolated tribes of Southeast Texas.
But I tell you what, them white people did some pretty weird shit back then too. And in some, isolated incidences, there has been record of cannibalism. Hell, they found a bunch of bodies underneath Benjamin Franklin's residence in London. All little boys and all dated back to when Franklin was living there. Cut up in pieces too. Does that make Franklin a cannibal? Hell, at the time there was a whole industry built around digging up dead bodies.

The white man has certainly shown his proclivity for war. This nation has been voted as to be the single nation most responsible for the unrest in all the world. We just simply have to meddle in everyone's affairs while unable to solve our own problems.
