I’ve heard a lot of insane arguments today about why the confederate battle flag should be taken down. They were something like: It’s divisive and we are all Americans now. It represents a painful part of our past. It’s time to move on, plus it makes us feel really good to attack things we know nothing about.
There are a few other flags that meet these qualifications. Here is one, it’s from the Crow Tribe, which is just down the road here in Montana. It represents an entity which not only was once a separate, conquered, government, but one which is to this day. How divisive is that? They maintain U. S. citizenship while clinging to their own divisive nation status, thing. And are we to forget how painful this conflict was? Why do we need these reminders? And what was that culture? Well to quote one of the grievances against King George in the Declaration of Independence:
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Yes I know our founding documents are politically incorrect and though we are still legally and traditionally bound by them, most people like to pretend that they don’t exist. But here it is in black and white. Or maybe brown and white, except this was written in a time before Darwin, when race wasn’t really a thing. Most of the early colonists to this land, viewed the Indians, as part of the lost tribe of Israel. They were treated with respect, taught civilization, and many of them were converted to Christianity. They assimilated into our Western Civilization, and you don’t even know when you encounter them. In fact, I am one of them. I have the census records to prove it. But I digress, we are talking about people who are clinging to their backwards past, and refuse to unite and be Americans. There are dozens of flags, and I suggest that they represent anti-American, anti-progress, and anti-unity. They represent paganism.
I know it’s not what you learned in school, and I’m not suppose to say stuff like this. But the reality is, that the first war between the Indians was over Christianity. The praying Indians, as the Christian Indians were called, were hated by the pagan Indians. So they started attacking them. It’s all laid out in the primary source accounts compiled in the Old Indian Chronicle. Today the new pagans like to tell a story about the noble savages that were destroyed by evil white racist patriarchy. But that isn’t true now, nor has it ever been true in the relations of the West. Which actually was the West and East, until Muhammed killed a few million people, but that’s another story. And so that is the war today. What do all these Indian flags represent? Can you name any Indian contributions to humanity in your lifetime? Ever? The numbers don’t lie, they commit more crimes, drop out of school more, and spend a ton of federal money. Of course it’s all blamed on racism or profiling. But they have every opportunity in the world. They get all the benefits of living in the U.S.A. in addition to the freedom to act as a separate country. Which enables them to participate in activities that would be illegal for other people, like building casinos, killing endangered animals, or logging and mining the crap out of everything. College is paid for. Free healthcare. Housing subsidies, and on and on. But it’s never enough.
I say we take down their flags. And their divisive reservations. It’s time we all unite as one and put this hateful past behind us. Welcome to the U.S.A.. Welcome to civilization. Welcome to Christendom.
