The Righteous Rant Of The Day…
…is awarded to Smitty, America’s favorite sidekick, for his justifiable anger at something Barack Hussein Obama said [and which is something a lot of people in this country unthinkingly believe][this is worth quoting in full]:
Here is an example of a divisive argument:
“Most of ‘us’ used to be ‘them,’” Obama said. “Unless you were one of the first Americans — a Native American — you came from someplace else,” he added, listing off waves of immigrants. “All of those folks — before they were ‘us,’ they were ‘them.’”
The Native Americans–did they not come from somewhere, too? Or does the doctrine of Holy Progress subscribe to spontaneous generation?
- I’m from here Mr. President. 100 years on mom’s side, 150 on dad’s. At what point do I get a pass where I’m considered ‘native’ enough that I’m free of your resentment farming, sir?
- How can you possibly claim to be anything like a uniter when you’re deliberately setting people against each other?
I sure hope the idiots who voted for and support you come to understand that you view them as meat, Mr. President.
Right on, Brother Smitty, right on.
Obama is the great Balkanizer.
SIDENOTE: Interestingly enough, it now appears that American Injuns were not here first.
From The Independent, David Keys reporting, we learn [tip of the fedora to DaveO]:
New archaeological evidence suggests that America was first discovered by Stone Age people from Europe – 10,000 years before the Siberian-originating ancestors of the American Indians set foot in the New World.
A remarkable series of several dozen European-style stone tools, dating back between 19,000 and 26,000 years, have been discovered at six locations along the US east coast. Three of the sites are on the Delmarva Peninsular in Maryland, discovered by archaeologist Dr Darrin Lowery of the University of Delaware. One is in Pennsylvania and another in Virginia. A sixth was discovered by scallop-dredging fishermen on the seabed 60 miles from the Virginian coast on what, in prehistoric times, would have been dry land.
Put that in your solar peace pipe, Barry, and smoke it [you know...like you used to do in your old drug-dealing days, dopehead].
I’m certainly native American. My DNA has been onshore since 1649. I have no idea if Claude liked Bourbon, however.
Proud to be an American.
Norwegian Colony since 1000 AD!
I have ancestors who landed at Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. So my DNA has been here a long time, also.
My ancestors had a togh time trying to get here. I’ll let my ancestor Fiorello explain:
