Obama steals a town and gives it to indians

[Asclepias]

Here's a less hysterical version of the story: EPA reservation boundary decision sparks controversy in Riverton, Wyo.

The American way. Make a treaty. Break it. Rinse and repeat. Whine when caught.

Obama Kicks Wyoming Residents Off Property And Gives It Away To Indians // Mr. Conservative

I really, really hope it doesn't end well for this asshole of a pResident we have now.

"It appears that Obama’s habitual abuse of his executive action is beginning to rub off on the rest of his administration. His EPA soldiers are now telling a town in Wisconsin that they no longer have the right to live there. And what’s worse? They’re giving away that land that the residents rightfully bought to other people.

"The town of Riverton, Wyoming has been an issue for quite some time with regards to Indians and the “white man.” According to local Indians, the 1 million acre plot the town sits on should rightfully be added to their reservation"

ROTFLMAO at your source. Do they check all their facts as well as these first two paragraphs suggest?

It's no surprise that the anti-Obama crowd is wrong so often, funny but no surprise.

The native Americans here turned all their land into casinos. They are richer than crap. Ruined some of the most beautiful country out here. In true American style.

Good for them. They are surviving the best they can and laughing all the way to THEIR bank.

For those who in support of the natives in this situation, what are you going to think when the day comes when the law gives back large parts of Mississippi, Florida, Georgia and Alabama to the Choctaw, Seminole, Chickasaw, Creek and Cherokee people?

The removal of these people from the lands, and their displacement to Oklahama on the "Trail of Tears" was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court back in 1832, but was openly defied by then President Jackson.

I think most people, me included, can see the terrible injustice in that. But to make amends now would be well nigh impossible without crippling those states.

They should have thought of that before they stole the land. Actions have consequences.

Um...talk to the elders and make some kind of agreement? One that cannot be BROKEN like the government did to the Native they originally kicked off their own land?
Catch more flies with sugar than you can with vinegar.

The question is who governs the land - the Reservation, or the city, state, and federal governments.

Not the ownership of the property. No one's property has been taken, and everyone who lives there is still there.

No one is being forced out, as the OP claims.

But where the OP is wrong is this is still a solid land claim. Hells bells I've always been an activist and yes I'm a conservative now but still doesn't stop me from kicking ass.

It's a solid land claim. And I wish those on the conservative side would learn a thing or two here.

These were real deals. And First Nations have every right to fight for their property rights. AND WE SHOULD BACK THEM.

I tend towards assuming that the tribes are in the right here, but I don't know enough about the claims to really judge.

Most land claims are bang on the money solid. And we are talking going back to parchment paper. You know? That old stuff before email.

So their claims are the real deal. I really was in shock when I rolled out here (long story had to do with Katrina) and I found out the Manitoba government had been fighting this one tribe for sooooooooooooooooo freaking long like over 20 years for just a plot of land. Millions of taxpayers dollars spent.

And all along it t'was a no brainer the land was Metis. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh crap. That puts me into a whole different realm. So in the end the property was Metis.

The details in this "article" are, at best, scant.
I wonder how many people bought houses in that town knowing years ago that this might happen?

Obama desperately wants to escalate our ongoing civil war into a shooting war. These are the kind of act that force Americans to employ arms.

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

Well I'm sure the White House is built on ancient Indian soil...why not kick them out as well?

Well what I don't understand and let me preface this with I AM A KICKASS CONSERVATIVE I don't understand why we treat these souls like they are some third class peoples? Me too up here. I'm freaking out over this because this is wrong. And not addressed.

 

[tinydancer]

Look guys fucking tell Rubio to fuck off. ok well we shouldnt do that but for crying out loud why don't we address First Nations issues compared to Cuba?

IF there is a legitimate land dispute, then the proper venue to sort it out is the courts.

The EPA is NOT a legitimate means of resolving such questions. Obama is attempting to provoke the townspeople.

How about inner city? Lets work on the real deal here.

I'm with you and I find it more than disturbing. I can fight the good fight. But I don't like the EPA making a decision.

A less vitriolic read: Wyoming, EPA feud over Indian reservation In an interview with the Caspar Star Tribune, Mead said the agency hadn’t given the state proper notice of the decision, and that a court decision was necessary.
