Those who look at the past with an emphasis on causing division and problems rather than gleaning insight and wisdom need to be collectively told to shut the fuck up. This is the only way to deal with divisive assholes like Warren.

Give them enough time, they'll try to take away Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain's MOH.

Well if we are going to judge the past by today's standards then we should judge today by the past's standards and hang Leftists for treason to the constitution.

^^^^^^^^Let’s get creative, shall we.

The full punishment for a traitor could include several steps. First he was drawn, that is, tied to a horse and dragged to the gallows. A so-called hurdle, or sledge, is sometimes mentioned in this context. Although such a device may have been a means of mercy, The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I (2nd ed., 1898; reissued 1996) states that it was more likely a way to deliver a live body to the hangman. The remainder of the punishment might include hanging (usually not to the death), usually live disemboweling, burning of the entrails, beheading, and quartering. This last step was sometimes accomplished by tying each of the four limbs to a different horse and spurring them in different directions.

I seem to remember hearing that one of Fauxahontas Warren's ancestors was a soldier who participated in the "Trail of Tears" forced relocation of Cherokee Indians from GA to OK. That should be reason to CANCEL her. What a hypocrite

I think the next conservative President should rescind that Medal of Freedom Biden gave "Admiral" Levine recently.

Hold on a minute. Doesn't Warren have first hand knowledge of what happened? Perhaps she was on scene.

They appear to be after the soldiers who got the medal in the action we now call the "Wounded Knee Massacre."

Is there some way to access what those particular medal citations refer to?

Edited to correct typo mentioned below. ↓

This is why we cant elect Democrats, especially remember this when they come after one of the Republicans during an election, ..., Roy Moore, Greitens, The Herminator, etc.!

Vote the "Innocent till proven guilty" Republican in then we can sort it out after the election!

All this playing with honor and being above the fray has to come to end, we are fighting against Marxists, look at the conversations we are having now, comedians must be woke, Trans people, no bail, defund the police, non-citizens voting, Illegal immigration, new speak in general, ministries of Disinformation, now removing Lincolns statue, military recruitment down, etc..

We need to wake up and get some back bone, and put some adults back into the room.

As much as I hate to say it Thank the lord for Democrat Manchin having a backbone.

The idea of finding myself in agreement with Democrats on any subject is abhorrent to me, but…
I’ve known for quite awhile about the 20 MOHs awarded as a result of actions at Wounded Knee. It was a massacre, not a battle.

BTW, the bill to rescind was first introduced in the House, not the Senate, by Rep. Deb Haaland (D. NM), who is Laguna Pueblo.

From the Wikipedia article it does look like there were a number of US casualties, which I was not expecting to see in an action called a massacre.

I am far from an expert in this aspect of US history but it sounds like an accidentally provoked fight, the results of which were, unsurprisingly, one-sided.

It seems reasonable to believe that there were acts of valor in that sort of action. The Wikipedia article lists a summary of what the medals were for here. Some of the citations sound kinda blah, compared to recent citations, but if I recall the criteria for the medal has changed over the years.

Looking at this, my call would be to leave things as they are. Repealing them (or making the public attempt to do so) for political correctness seems like pure election-year nonsense.

There were between 250-300 Miniconjous killed at Wounded Knee, many women and children. It’s speculated that “at least 25 U.S. soldiers also died, many likely fallen to friendly fire.”

Don't get me wrong, I think the action is a stain on our past, but we keep heading down this path that only leads to everything from the past being replaced. All our founding fathers being wiped from today's existence.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.




I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up.

The rescinding of soldier's MoH for Wounded Knee has been an on-going demand for several decades. I've always viewed it as a ham-fisted grievance that's low-hanging fruit; its an unsophisticated argument where various academics have tried to articulate its action. There was no valor or, heroics in that action, however its in the past and if this is a sticking-point, than those crying for it, will never find solace, because it doesn't change anything.

Issues like health care, law enforcement, entrepreneurship/finance and education are all mountainous bureaucracies that have to go through the Federal government seeking approval of a single appointed individual or, via a burdensome review process. The efforts of these congressional members would be better served to either re-make or, abolish the Bureau of Indian Affairs and create an agency(s) that is less patriarchal and more responsive to the issues on the Rez. If they truly cared about native cultures and conditions, this is not the hill worth dying for.
