DAPL and Standing Rock Veterans
I’ll admit that I haven’t been paying much attention to the Standing Rock protest. One of my main issues is “jobs” and getting America back to work and this protest seemed to be against putting America to work, so I just didn’t give it the attention that I should have. Scott Faith at Havoc Journal, however did pay attention, so that when a group of veterans showed up he wrote something more coherent than I could;
After responding to a (fundamentally misguided) call to action to support the Standing Rock protest, hundreds and perhaps thousands of US military veterans were left without basic necessities, without leadership, and now (after being asked to leave by the protest organizers), without a mission.
After literally rallying the troops through “Veterans Stand for Standing Rock” and raising over a million dollar through GoFundMe, and apparently having accomplished their real mission of calling attention to themselves, far-left social justice warrior Wes Clark Jr. and his compatriots seem to be… absent.
When a Wesley Clark gets involved, my attention span shrinks. This Wes Clark, Junior seems to be a bigger asshole than his father. When he got veterans assembled at Standing Rock, he led them in an apology to the tribal elders for all of things that none of those present had perpetrated against Indians;
Wearing a half-assed Army “dress blues” uniform top and cavalry Stetson, Clark and a rag-tag group of (assumed) veterans gave a half-assed, self-serving, very public “apology” to a Native American leader, kneeling before him and begging forgiveness for things no one in the room had anything to do with.
The apology;
“Many of us, me particularly, are from the units that have hurt you over the many years. We came. We fought you. We took your land. We signed treaties that we broke. We stole minerals from your sacred hills. We blasted the faces of our presidents onto your sacred mountain. When we took still more land and then we took your children and then we tried to make your language and we tried to eliminate your language that God gave you, and the Creator gave you. We didn’t respect you, we polluted your Earth, we’ve hurt you in so many ways but we’ve come to say that we are sorry. We are at your service and we beg for your forgiveness.”
So, soon after this, the Army Corp of Engineers announced that they would stop working on the pipeline and try to find another route, so the protesters declared victory and picked up and left the veterans holding the bag;
It seems like the veterans who supported the call, many of whom had noble intentions and some of whom I know personally, were basically used as “useful idiots” to promote Mr. Clark’s far-left agenda. Now, facing extreme hardship, they’ve been left out to dry. No worries though; after all, according to the protest organizers themselves, the veterans and other outside supporters “served their purpose.” With $1.2 million in the bank, and the national spotlight shining bright, I’ll leave it up to you to decide what that “purpose” actually was.

Yep. The vets and protesters had nothing to do with the past history, and there was nothing they could do to fix fhe past, the present, or the future.
So what was the point, other then abasing themselves and showing what Betas look like?
Sounds like Clark Jr has been picking up pointers from Stein on fund raising mega bucks with no promises of how it will be used, what results or goals expected, or how the remainder (lots and lots of remainder) will be disbursed. Scam, total scam.
I laughed my ass off when Milo Yiannopolous called her out on wasting money on recounts that could be used to clean up Flint’s water supply.
Always, always, ALWAYS follow the money! 🙂 Nothing else is a bigger clue.
“Many of us, me particularly, are from the units that have hurt you over the many years. We came. We fought you. We took your land. We signed treaties that we broke. We stole minerals from your sacred hills…some of our dads tried to start World War III…I mean, mistakes were made, okay.”
A lot of those Vets are fat.
While I understand and can even appreciate their sense of involvement, at least look fucking professional.
You want to be taken seriously, look and act the part. As far as the apology, whatever. I was not around then.
I would also be curious to know how many of those folks have honorable discharges?
And considering my geographic local, I have followed this with some interest as it is usually front page news.
Just an observation.
Hey! Fat shaming is a no-no. We Veterans have earned the right to carry around a little excess.
Of course, if you are a professional veteran, as those folks seem to be, I agree with you. And since they choose to use their status as veterans to further some cause not pertaining to veterans, they can stay there and freeze as far as I am concerned. I will, however, be happy to send them some appropriately sized popsicle sticks to sit their fat asses on.
I am sick unto death of camo-clad special snowflakes.
Cammo does not make you an actual veteran.
Yeah, you at least need a tattoo or a motorcycle vest for that. 😉
Bling, you gotta have LOTS of shiny Military BLING and patches for it to be a REAL motorcycle vest and DON’T forget the do-rag!!!
Cammo does make my butt look big …but then so does denim, khaki etc!!
I’ll believe these barking moonbats claiming to be “veterans” actually honorably served in the military and completed an enlistment or full tour of active duty when I see their verified FOIA responses or DD-214’s. How many poser/embellisher/phonies does Jonn have to profile here before the public or media figures out that few of the ones seeking attention are for real? Also, I’ll bet a lot of these protesting so-called “Indians” have about as much Native American blood as Fauxahontas and Ward Churchill. That is why the so-called apology is such a farce. It is nothing but public theater for fundraising.
Don’t forget forget “Instant Indian Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics)!
So, where will Phil be working balls this weekend?
At All-Points Logistics!
Good point. Disclaimer: If you claim to be a Veteran and would like to protest, please show a valid DD-214 upon entry.
Why do I get the impression that there were about as many “veterans” at this gathering as there were at the Burns, OR “Oath Keepers” standoff?
As far as the idiotic “apology” goes, I would suggest these protesters read a few history books. Suffice it to say, there were atrocities, broken promises, broken treaties, and backstabbing that can be attributed to all parties in the settling of the West.
Actually, it’s funny to see military veterans apologizing for what “their predecessors” did. Very often times it was the Army commanders who were siding WITH the Indians and AGAINST white settlers and miners.
This is a pet peeve of mine – treating native Americans like they were “noble savages”, innocent of the evil in the world. That just robs them of their humanity.
Before they fought the U.S. they fought each other. Many tribes were removed from their traditional land by other tribes.
Not only that, many tribes were only too happy to throw in with the US Army if it would help them against their enemies. See, for example, the Crow who provided scouts for the Army against the Lakota/Arapahoe/Cheyenne wars of 1876-77.
In fact, Gen. Crook had his best successes against the Apaches in AZ when he put together irregular units of other Indians.
To put it more simply, “Army” and “Indians” were allies in the old West at least as often as they were enemies.
Many tribes were wiped out by other tribes. And, those “veterans” need to look up the word “nomadic” and understand what it means.
Thinking their exposure to the intricacies of the issues is no deeper than Dances With Wolves.
A farce.
They have all been
“but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.” (Shakespeare, Macbeth, Scene V)
“Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2 KJV)
That is all this group is or has been. Of course, that is applicable to a great number of the left, and not a few on the right.
“All the world’s indeed a stage, and we are merely players,performers and portrayers. Each another’s audience, outside the gilded cage” (Rush, Limelight) 😉
Yeah, I know that Shakespeare guy inspired it, it just seemed to be appropriate.
I agree, SFC D.
SFC, you appear to be a man of letters. Very on point.
I admit I don’t understand the premise behind the apology aspect of the visit.
I have some serious concerns about the pipeline itself, mostly because the company operating it has the worst safety record in the pipeline business and there is some evidence that those concerns led the pipeline location to be moved from where it might poison Bismarck’s water to where it might poison the Standing Rock Sioux water instead…if that’s accurate (and I haven’t read the legal documents yet so I’m not certain) that would be inherently wrong on its face.
We’ve not heard the last of this issue, and hopefully we start to see a more balanced investigative coverage to uncover what’s true and not true about what’s happening and why it’s happening. But I’m not holding my breath for that.
Clark Jr. is shoring up his white-guilt cred for his future in politics.
Publicity and photo op. Nothing more.
From what I understand, the effing pipeline doesn’t even cross the reservation.
It doesn’t. (Ignoring the ‘unceded lands’ argument.)
But let’s say your neighbor wants to build something, on their own lands, right next to your land, and what they’re building has a chance of creating a disaster and, say, poisoning your kids. Presumably you wouldn’t just shrug and say, “Well, it’s three feet into their lands, aww shucks, I guess that’s that!” You’d probably try to suggest they move it a bit further away.
I find the apology stuff pretty crazy, and the all-about-me nature of some of the protesters tiresome… but when you dig down into the goal, it’s pretty understandable. Not necessarily right, or wrong, but definitely understandable.
And later on, Wes Clark Jr’s tax return will include almost 1 million dollars in “administrative costs” for non-profit activities.
At the end of the day, this is similar to so many other “political activist” activities that turn into money making opportunities for others to abuse. “Organic”, “Gluten Free”, “Green Energy”, “Occupy Wall Street”, and so on.
People just don’t get how hesitant they need to be, most especially about the issues they are deeply concerned about.
If there were more actual conservatives instead of partisan sheep we would be united in support of standing rock.
This is rampant disgusting abuse of imminent domain along this whole pipeline. Not for public needs or public goods BUT FOR INDIVIDUAL PROFIT.
The government being used to steal land and handing it over to crony private interests would be outrageous to conservatives…if we had more genuine conservatives in this country.
Additionally the abuse of police powers in forcing people off their lands – both private US citizens and tribal members you be outrageous to you.
It should be outrageous to everyone who believes the government shouldn’t be taking land for private corporations, or placing pipelines run by companies with questionable safety records near public water supplies.
Yes, except for one VERY important thing: this started during THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WHICH IS STILL IN BUSINESS UNTIL JANUARY 19, 2017.
Has nothing to do with conservatives at all.
Looks like Piuperdink screwed his own poochie on that one, didn’t he? Yeah – he did.
I think we should all know it started under Obama, I’m not certain he was implying anything else at all.
If folks are upset about land rights and the Feds grabbing land in the west why not here as well might be a better question. The Bundys are national heroes to some and criminals to other and their battle was over land rights and access…I wonder if this pipeline was going to poison Bundys ranch if liberals wouldn’t care and conservatives would show up with rifles again.
It is somewhat interesting to see how each side stacks up on an issue depending on who the perceived injured parties might be.
VOV. Did you ever consider how many airports came to be? How about railroad lines? Interstate highways? Pipelines for water, natural gas, and oil? How about electrical and telephone lines? Access roads for public utilities and bridges? All of these things and more required the taking of private property, with just compensation, as determined by a court or agreed to buy the owner. It is explicitly in the US Constitution and, I can guess, each state’s own constitution. Outrageous? Not at all. It is an essential need and one that, ideally, provides adequate compensation for the owner and benefits the public.
I will now add, the land for some colleges and universities, including 2.8 acres for UC Berkeley, as noted below.
Eminent Domain precedes the US Constitution by centuries, going back to old English common law.
I also have to LOL when people bitch about eminent domain being “Unconstitutional” when it’s right there in the 5th amendment (sort of like after Trump was elected and a few ignorant lefties were whining that the Electoral College was unconstitutional.)
Well, in all fairness to Commissar, the learned one, he referred to imminent domain. I can’t argue that because he’s the only one who knows what that is. My guess is that imminent domain is the state or condition of closing on a house.
Noticed that too. Imminent domain….yeah, that’s something to protest. But then I figured, you know, it’s Lars after all. You can’t expect toooooo much folks.
Abuse…? That sounds like an opinion, no charges have been filed that I know of.
Here is a little wake up call for you, you pinko Bolshevik tree-hugging half man-boy, most people in the US enjoy the comforts of modernity, namely cheap gas, ergo a lack of fucks given for these stank hippy types that stand in front of firehoses in freezing temperatures…
Oh yeah, the ONLY reason that these little cry babies got their way is because they insisted on acting violently, which i might add IS the DEFINING characteristic of leftist “diplomacy”.
Dick.
Idiocy emanates from Lars like shit from a goose.
And once again, Las had no interest in the facts.
Like the ones where the tribe blew off literally DOZENS of public hearings. Where when they were specifically invited to sit down and air their grievances, once again, they blew everyone off.
Only when they could get TV time did they bother to show up.
a , ?
What they wanted was the pipeline to cross land they own, or something, so they could get some of those sweet petro dollars. They are almost as sweet as those “money for nuthin” casino dollars.
They are…but conservatives are not single issue voters like DNC sheep.
Not that any of those issues concern you at all.
The real issue with the pipeline is not the Reservation, not the tribe, not the safety record, and not the faux outrage of the idiot left. No, the real issue is the fact that the entire protest was nothing but an economic move to protect someone’s rail monopoly on shale oil movement.
Someone like Warren Buffet, owner of BNSF Railroad? I’m sure he hired a few platoons of lobbyists to bribe the current klown krewe in DC to keep the Keystone Pipeline in limbo as well.
Manifest Destiny. No apologies. And it’s eminent domain not imminent unless you agree with Manifest Destiny.
Oh, Commissary Piuperdink does it every time, doesn’t he?
Could you BE any more incomprehensible today? I’m beginning to think you can’t even write a cogent sentence.
You don’t really come here for the subject matter, do you? No.
Well, since engaging in self-abusive behavior includes repeatedly showing up some place with the sole intention of picking a fight over nothing – because you DO know what will happen every time — you need to go see your shrink again. Spend some time on the beach, contemplating the ebb and flow of the tides, the spin of the Universe overhead, and perhaps pick up some seaweed that you can wear in a parade or something.
Or you could get a job shoving coffee across a countertop.
In sure that little puppy turd considers work like that below him.
I suppose next, Poodle Commie, you will be telling us you are an “actual conservative.” Only ideological fools like you believe “the party line.” It is rule one for being a commie, crypto or otherwise. If you’re so dedicated to this “cause,” why aren’t you out there in a tent right now?
A commie concerned about private property rights? Whatever tool is needed for the cause, I guess. Anyway, eminent domain has been abused at various times and in various places all over the country. This, however, isn’t one of those times and the pipeline route through multiple states isn’t one of those places. This is a classic case of the appropriate use of eminent domain, an easement to build and maintain something that will serve a public need and a public good.
As I suspected, eminent domain was used to acquire property for (drum roll) that commie school UC Berkeley! I guess Commissar is okay with that. It was only 2.8 acres of prime land. My source? One Sam Davis, professor emeritus who says that he has spent “over 50 years at the University of California, Berkeley, as a student, professor, department chair, dean, and architect.” So, I’ll trust that he did the research and knows what he’s talking about.
So, did the tribal leaders also apologize for the massacre at Little Big Horn?
Hey, I will cut them some slack on that one. Custer engaged, and got his ass handed to him. Proper planning would have prevented that piss poor performance. Custer said come fight me, and the Indians brought their A game. He didn’t.
Hey, be fair; he wasn’t planning on over 5,000 Indians from 5 different tribes in one location. Also, planning wasn’t the problem. Custer refused to the believe his intel from his scouts. They warned him the village was too big, but then he divided his force into thirds, thinking he would be fighting a few hundred braves, if he could catch them. The execution was the problem. You also have to ride the battlefield on horseback to really see the scope of what he was dealing with terrain-wise.
Well, they haven’t apologized yet for kidnapping my distant ancestor Hannah Dustin and her brand new baby, so I don’t give a crap.
I’m still waiting for the USA to apologize for all that “IRISH NEED NOT APPLY” stuff. I want my reparations, dammit, I’ve been aggrieved!
Or the suspicion and hostility toward those of German ancestry in WWI…
All of my Civil War Ancestors I know of fought for the Union and I’ve still yet to hear a “Thank You” from lefties, I’m not holding my breath.
Ditto.
I have German and Irish in my background. I also have slaves and slave owners in my ancestry. I keep apologizing to myself for it, but it doesn’t seem to work…..
So Wes Clark Junior is as big of a turd tosser as his daddy!
Yes the acorn landed really close to this tree apparently…
Better analogy ” The turd didn’t fall far from the asshole”
Kind off like when John Kerry showed up in Paris for the peace talks.
Yep, double douche tag team.
BTW the Indian wars are a special interest for me, since I live in Colorado and am close to a lot of these sites. Here are a couple of references for those who want to know what happened. Both are written by a former director of the NPS and are pretty even handed in terms of how they present history:

Ambrose’s Crazy Horse and Custer is also very good. Like Ambrose’s other stuff, it’s very easy to read. https://www.amazon.com/Crazy-Horse-Custer-Parallel-American/dp/0385479662/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1481306414&sr=1-1&keywords=crazy+horse+and+custer
I have read the first two and have them. Plus, if you want to read about the noble, benevolent Indians and their real history, read “Captured by the Indians.” It is a series of first person accounts by settlers who had the misfortune of being captured by our red brothers. Of course, they are a rather select group, since most of those similarly situated didn’t live to tell the tale.
Today’s theme seems to be fathers and sons who are assholes
When I moved into fly over country, I was fascinated by their attitude about things like this. “Stay out of my yard, and I will stay out of yours.” They have a real THING about strangers getting underfoot in what they perceive is their personal business. I have picked up that philosophy since I’ve lived here.
I feel that way about Standing Rock. Not my backyard and not my business.
What I hold sacred is gas at $1.83 a gallon. Huge mistake to even give these so called “Native Americans” and their ilk any quarter.
Most reservations in that part of the country are environmental disasters in their own right. Prairie slums.
I could care less if the plowed up every ancestor along the pipeline. That would be the sound of progress.
This particular veteran isn’t going to apologize to them for shit. Phuk em.
Dave, I’m with you on this one. Anyone who has ever driven through an Indian reservation can see their “respect for the environment.” Also, have any of our leftard commenters here bothered to look at a gas and oil pipeline map of the nation. Where are all those leaking pipeline disasters we should have had over the past 100 plus years? But I can recall many train disasters from derailments. What this is all about is the proggie moonbats that want to impair the use of any fossil fuels because they are certain it will save us from AGW. Too bad we can’t force them to become old order Mennonites or Amish so they have to harness or saddle a horse to go anywhere, plus shovel some real horseshit.
A nice thought rgr769, but let’s not forget that liberals are VERY allergic to work, and making them live like the Amish? Their heads would implode after the first five minutes sans farcebook or twitter! DITTO what you said about pipelines, I still remember tree-huggers saying in the seventies and eighties about how the Alaska Pipeline was an ecological doomsday waiting to happen and so far the only leak in it came from some nutjob shooting into it with a deer rifle. Crude by train usually arrives safe and sound, but tell that to the people of Lac Megantic, Quebec, a runaway trainload of crude oil wrecked there and incinerated most of the downtown area as well as hydrocarbon contamination of a larger area.
I can recall two train disasters in CA. The first was a trainload of bombs and other ordinance for the old RVN. The explosions decimated the railyard in Roseville. Then there was a derailment north of Redding that killed all the fish in the river-no fishing for about 3 years. Plus that bullshit about their “sacred lands” it just that. If they could make big bucks putting a casino on an Indian burial ground, they would do it. As for the Alaska pipeline, I’ve heard the caribou love it. They hang out next to it when it’s really cold because of the heat it gives off.
From what I’ve read lately, Indian “sacred lands” seem to be any plot of ground where a couple of Indians died, or were killed, and planted in the ground. The Native Americans were never big on property ownership, so, how does one reconcile the claims?
Is the sacred land sacred because a buffalo was buried there? Or, because a couple of warriors were buried there?
Only white buffalo. Had a place in Ky that raised them, they were unfortunate enough to have a white one born. All hell broke lose with “indians” on the war path over it.
Claimed it was some kind of god…I would have shot it. I forget how it was all settled, probably traded and train load of government cheese for it.
Thanks for reminding me that it has to be a white buffalo. Or, at the least, a rumor of a white buffalo.
Its time to Boycott some casinos North Dakota. Their some Mel Brooks lines from Blazing Saddles trying to escape my mind, maybe later.
p.s did anybody check DD-214s at this?
“its alright, go ahead….”
“Thank you!”
“Ai yai yai. Dey darker den us!”
I don’t know squat about a pipeline but I studied the pic and I have no fear of rational contradiction in saying that the curly chick has a seriously nice set there. I mean, that’s not a flattering sweater and those still look good.
Perhaps, you would like to lay some pipe for her.
She might soon be sporting a sign saying, “will phuck for return flight.”
“Ass, grass, or gas.” Don’t see that bumper sticker any more.
It is one of my favorites. I first saw that phrase on a little metal placard on the dash of a car owned by a guy I met in Phoenix when I was on leave after returning from ol’ RVN. He couldn’t understand why I thought it was so funny. His sign also added “…nobody rides for free.” I gave him some cash for gas.
As quickly as all of them were ready to get on their knees to please anyone, I’m sure you’d have your shot with any or all of them.
Though I agree with 2/17 Air Cav about the curly chick, I couldn’t make it through that video; good grief. I read another article today (that I cant find now to reference properly) that said a lot of these misguided Vets bought one way tickets thinking they would be there for months and are now stranded and abandoned.
Three of my step kids are part Native (enough to rate IHS health care)so I am not blind to the issues being brought forward by the ND Sioux but they laid out their case using misinformation and outright lies and they lost any sympathy I may have had towards their cause. Like someone said earlier, follow the money because that is what drove the protest, not some noble environmental or justice for the historically oppressed movement.
Now as for these Vets, I have zero sympathy for them other than being led astray by a failed former Army Officer who is nothing more than a charlatan and embarrassment to the officer corps. I dont know about anyone else but even though I am retired I have a job, commitments and bills not to mention a family so if these dribble dicks can just buy a one way ticket for the cause they obviously didn’t have much going for them in the first place.
And by the way, I am a second generation American and none of my family came to this country until the 1930s so no apology will be forthcoming.
Stranded and abandoned? What a shame, in the Dakotas with winter coming on, and all.
Oh, yah!
Yah, and I hear from the comfort of my desk (next to the furnace register) that there’s an nasty cold spell coming right out of Siberia, headed that way. Should be there by Sunday at the latest. Also, 4 to 12 inches of snow are on their way, maybe more. North Dakota’s already been hit good and hard.
I feel a teensy weensy smidge of sympathy for them, but on the other hand, there’s that scene in ‘Fargo’ with the funny-lookin’ guy (Steve Buscemi) trying to bury the loot near a fence post off the highway, and looking in one direction and then the other… and it’s infinity in both directions.
And then I start laughing, because that word ‘SUCKERS!!!’ keeps coming up in my head.
Oh, yah!

I love Fargo, the movie. In June, 1999 I was in Hardin, MT for the Custer days/Little Bighorn battle reenactment. In a bar, I met two gals from Fargo, ND. This movie came up, and they told me how much they and most everyone in Fargo hated it. They claimed they did not talk or sound anything like Marge. But dontcha know, they sounded just like Marge. Yah, they were a hoot.
I know they don’t think they have that obvious a regional dialect and speech pattern – not quite an accent – but they do.
“A charlatan and embarrassment to the officer corps”? Like Lars?
No, not that. The bottom pic!
Pffftt….
Cocksuckers.
A little weather update from North Dakota, by way of Accuweather.
Brutal cold lingered across the northern Plains thanks to an invasion of Arctic air. On Wednesday night, Dickinson, North Dakota, experienced an AccuWeather RealFeel Temperature® of minus 39, while in Casper, Wyoming, the actual temperature plummeted to minus 33.
It’s going to get chilly here in my kingdom, also, but not that bad.
I’ll bet those silly twits now wish they’d thought a little further ahead.
Playing outside around here in winter isn’t for sissies…or the unprepared. Exposure is a true killer.
When I checked the weather map this morning, you guys are getting more snow than us flatlanders.
Now I’m sad. It does help insulate the base of the house against the effects of wind chill.
Three years in Grand Forks, ND; four years in Omaha, NE; and four in Cheyenne, WY. Anymore, anything below 45 degrees is too darn cold for me. So I’m in WA State and it’s 41 degrees right now. Guess I’m a slow learner! But the wife can’t take too much heat (MS), so here we rest.
I definitely don’t miss the winters in the Midwest.
Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.
Do a liberal a favor by whoring out your service, freeze your ass off while they laugh all the way to the bank.
The entire idea of reservations is fucking stupid. Assimilate.
The Native tribes themselves don’t give a fuck about each other.
There are small tribes in Ca where the Casinos give each member about 300,000 bucks a month. That’s $3,600,000 a year.
The average family income for Soiux Families on the Pine Ridge Reservation is $10,000 a fucking year.
Natives butchered each other before Europeans came and showed no mercy whatsoever to white settlers or soldiers they attacked.
If anyone can please cite one source where the natives took US Soldiers as Captives and treated them with anything remotely considered humane.
They didn’t.
When the Natives won a fight they tortured and mutilated any poor soldier left behind.
After Little big Horn the Native Women helped finish off the would and used Mallets used to crack Buffalo Bones to flatten the skulls of several troopers. Custer was found with thorns shoved in his eyes and ears and an arrow shoved up his dick.
Sacred ground is pretty much where a buffalo shit.
Anyone I ever met who lived near a Reservation said it was a shit hole.
Moreover, in some towns, such a Hardin, MT, there is a drunk Indian on every other block where there is a bar or a liquor store.
[…] Special The Political Hat: From Sexual Privacy To Sexual Police This Ain’t Hell: DAPL And Standing Rock Veterans, also, More Liberal Insanity Weasel Zippers: Obama Says “I Absolutely Faced Racism In The […]
I am mystified AS TO why these twits decide they’re going to do their ‘protesting’ just about the time the weather is destined to go sour on them.
I could understand it in the summer. Let’s go have a protest, party hearty, smoke some dope, camp out for a bit, trash the place and go home. Kind of like what those ‘Oafsqueakers’ did at the nature preserve last year, but again, those morons decided they were going to do that in the very late fall into early winter.
All the protests I ever saw in the 1960s were held in the spring and summer. Warm weather, no cold issues – that sort of thing – except for that one at the Pentagon across from the old Quarters K barracks in Arlington. That was in October and the weather was quite nice.
So perhaps someone can enlighten me about the moronic idea that holding a protest in -33F temps with a wind chill in the minus 60s is even remotely a good idea. If anyone asked me to do that, I’d take a pass and go find friends who were sane.
And these are the simpletons who fall for that AGW crap. Okay! Sitting here laughing. I’m going to make chili today, and cornbread, and with every bite I will giggle when I think of them.
Perhaps the “veterans” went at this time of the year because their “scouts” suck at what they’re supposed to do? Hell, they apparently couldn’t even read The Farmer’s Almanac. You can’t expect them to pay attention to a weather forecast.
When you are a progtard, dumbfuckery never takes a holiday.
