Rosebud Sioux Declare House Vote in Favor of the Keystone XL Pipeline is an Act of War (gallon, highway)

[cb73]

I'm personally aware of a BUNCH of charity groups that exist solely to support the people on this reservation--everything from clothes to food to anything they need. This is in addition to the government check and food stamps.

I wonder if they realize that all that could stop if they actually try to declare war.

The Leftists' in this Country have gone complete around the bend.
This entire Victimhood concept that the Left has crammed down the throats of America is Dangerous.
The "stupid" Left actually believes this garbage. They have all been Gruberized.

“The House has now signed our death warrants and the death warrants of our children and grandchildren. The Rosebud Sioux Tribe will not allow this pipeline through our lands,” said President Scott of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. “We are outraged at the lack of intergovernmental cooperation. We are a sovereign nation and we are not being treated as such. We will close our reservation borders to Keystone XL. Authorizing Keystone XL is an act of war against our people.”

"HA HA! It's oil! You lose!

We go to war...I'll be on the side of the Sioux. I have a compound bow that I'm a terrible shot with, and a bicycle. Give me a minute to get down there.

I am sure the people who backed the Bundy Ranch guys are just lining up to help out against this example of Big Government overreach.

How is it a handout if it's their land?

Exactly. toymans the sort who sees someone being shot, and yelling for someone to call 911, and says "Why should I, you're just playing the victim card to get some of the hard earned services I paid for!"

This bears repeating.

Oh - the outrage! How dare the gubment take their land. Oh wait.... Native Americans? <<<crickets>>>

Would sending in the military for a long term protection of the pipeline require an act of war? Or just another police action?

Would it be a posse comitus violation?

Or would we get the state government to defend the canadians pipeline?

They can be bought off with firewater.
