The Cherokee are on the warpath

While not quite calling for Elizabeth Warren's scalp, the Cherokee (or at least some of them) take her to the woodshed for an extended session.

They also remind folks that in order to say you are Cherokee it is necessary that they claim you, as opposed to you claiming to be one of them.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I don't care that Warren is a Democrat, as far as I'm concerned this is a nothing case, less than a tempest in a teacup.

As far as I'm concerned, if .gov or any organization receiving taxpayer funds is giving special consideration to people based on ethnicity - thereby discriminating against others based on THEIR ethnicity - I see nothing wrong if someone manipulates the system to foil institutional discrimination directed at them.

(When I was in college, a lot of students listed "Native American" as their "race" on various enrollment and financial aid forms. Anecdotal evidence was that it made a difference.)

As someone of thirty-seven twenty-fifths Cherokee ancestry, I call upon my Native American brothers and sisters to foster a more inclusive attitude. Like many Americans, Sister Warren embraces an alternative understanding of ancestry and genetics. Let us embrace her.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
