Houston City Councilman says "American Indians got whipped in the war. Hello?"

[johncoby2]

Yesterday Houston City Councilman Michael Berry got punked about signing his young 36 year old ass up for the war after he was pumping his fist in the air on his radio talk show.

And yesterday he continued his war theme, this time against American Indians:

Councilman Michael Berry was saying American Indians don't deserve the federal assistance that they're getting because they “were whipped in a war.”

“We conquered them,” he said. “That's history. Hello?”

1. "We slaughtered them, then trashed their land with pollution..." - Berry

"So that their children and grandchildren will have only toxic air, water and soil for generations. I guess we showed them, didn't we. Good thing our Holy Christofascist Children have no need for clean water, air or soil. They will prosper on our stolen land by consuming genetically mutant cloned irradiated chemicalized food product facsimiles, and shit like that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I guess we showed those Evil Redskins a thing or two. Up with Genocide. Hiel Bush. Hiel Bush. Hiel Bush."

3. Conquering a people means never having to live up to your treaties, I guess.

4. The USA has broken or violated every single treaty -- every one, no exceptions

The US entered into about 480 legally binding treaties with the various native nations of Turtle Island (North America), but has -- and the Congressional record shows this -- broken or violated every single one.

KRAPPY TREATY KARMA, fer sure.

8. And a Treaty is "The Supreme Law of the Land"

We are indeed a nation void of Law...

They are a shameful cowardly lot if so....He can take a place of dishonor with Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney, Hannity, O'Lielly, Libaugh, and Commander AWOL: the republicon Pantheon of chickenhawk heroes, happy to send others off to war to boost oil and munitions profits for corrupt republicon cronies.
