#1 "Not only is the thought of such a change in this white-supremacist holiday impossible to imagine, but the very mention of the idea sends most Americans into apoplectic fits..."

Isn't there 364 other days for this guy to perpetuate a climate of collective white guilt? This ranks up there with the anti-war protests on "Veterans Day" and the mayor of my home town who declared "Indiginous Day" on "Colombus Day".
Whatta douchebag!

#2 I am somewhat sympatheic to the plight of Native Americans, but this is too much.

I'm not, anymore.

I don't even blame Indians themselves for my not caring. I blame leftists like the "day of atonement" clown. I'm tired of them acting like the European migration into North America was any different than the Asiatic immigration into North America, like the Europeans somehow introduced violence into a pristine paradise.

I've heard people say -- seriously, to their children, as if they were imparting absolute facts -- that there was no war among the pre-Columbian tribes. My own father -- who grew up watching Gene Autry and whom I'd describe as bigoted in a lot of ways -- believes the British introduced scalping to North America. I won't even get into the idiocy of the "they lived in balance with nature" crap.

You want the truth? Look into the Crow Creek Massacre Site, Cahokia Mound 72, and Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Ask yourself what happened to human gene sets that existed in North America before the Asiatic migration, but disappeared shortly afterwards. Ask why settlements throughout the eastern US sprouted walls with bastions around 1300 AD.

And why is the need for atonement always focused on the US? The Spanish killed more people, with more speed, and tore apart two civilizations. The French were as bad as the English; they even destroyed the last remnant of the Mississippian cultures. Why not ride their asses for a while?

#5 Give 'em a copy of Civilization and Its Enemies by Lee Harris and a tall glass of STFU. The Indians, whatever their plusses and minuses, were a failed civilization. They were unable to protect themselves from foreign invaders and fell, just like so many civilizations before them. End of story.

#8 Can we trade him for the Saudi school teacher sentenced to 3 years and 700 lashes?

#9 BH brings up an interesting thought. The left is always talking about how great Darwanism yet they can't extend that thinking to cultural and societal Darwanism. Cultures that adapt survive better and no culture seems to adapt as well as Anglo-saxon culture.

#10 On the other hand they believe in Darwanism but constantly attempt to subvert it by protecting weak species and such so maybe they are consistant with their moaning about protecting weaker cultures as well.
