Bryan Fischer: Obama Wants 'Indian Tribes To Be Our New Overlords'

[RandySF]

Top social conservative Bryan Fischer is outraged that "President Obama wants to give the entire land mass of the United States of America back to the Indians. He wants Indian tribes to be our new overlords."

Fischer is the Director of Issues Analysis for the Christian conservative group the American Family Association, and appeared alongside top Republicans at this year's Values Voter conference.

Fischer, who also wants to get rid of the "curse" that is the grizzly bear, writes on his blog: "President Obama likes the 'U.N. Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples.' He says it can 'help reaffirm the principles that should guide our future.'" Fischer points to Article 26, which says that "Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired," and "states shall give legal recognition and protection to these lands, territories and resources."

1. Fischer is correct to be worried

Especially if our new original American overlords treat us even one-tenth as nastily as we treated them.

Really AFA? Is this what you're reduced to scaring your subscribers with? Indian overlords? Why not mutant bugs from Kotex 9?

3. "Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have tradition

"Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired,"


My state came to a land claims settlement with three tribes back in 1980.

5. As a person whose grandfather was an Osage, I thank our President

for his common sense and want to say that I will be a tough but fair* overlord when this takes effect.

*Except to conservatives...

6. Pin a twenty dollar bill to your lapel and report to the nearest concentration mall!

No, I'm not even sure what the hell my comment means either. But it has something to do with the prisons we imagine versus the prisons we build and happily build for ourselves, or at least accept.
