    I say, it is an effective message. Some are calling it contriversial.

    As in so many "I find that offensive!" protests, I wish someone would ask the person(s) complaining: "What *specifically* do you find 'offensive' about it?"

    Greeley, CO. resident Kerri Salazar who is a squaw Indian Native American human being (is that p.c. enough) is mad the billboard purchaser didn't get permission from the Native Americans.

    "Have a nice day. What do you mean by that, that offends, me." :sad20:

    Great billboard, great message. Hit's the point exactly. And I'm sick and tired of being "politically correct". Just because you are 1/1000 native doesn't make it a right to have to go through you for approval.

    People just don't like it because it's true & it's effective. If it were calling for more welfare or Obamaphones no one would care about the image used. And eruby is right; these are fellow human beings. They both deserve respect, but simultaneously can't assert censorship over telling history for only when it suits their purpose.

    Screw them. They gave up their arms in the first place so they have no right to say anything.

    Sarcasm meter broken again bossman? :innocent0

    I find this to be a pretty derned accurate message. There's few groups of people that understand how cruel and violent our govt can be than the native americans. The FBI has been essentially terrorizing them solid for the entire time the FBI has existed. There are cases where the cause of death was ruled "suicide" even though the person's hands were cut off and the victim was shot in the head. Going back to the mid 1800's, the natives were routinely disarmed in treaty after treaty, only to have the USA back out of their agreements and continue to dick over the natives.

    I understand that in order for our country to form, conquest had to happen...but it doesn't make this billboard any less meaningful

    Who's mad bro? Elizabeth Warren?

    History, its importance and the intergenerational rhyme is lost upon the masses.

    I agree that the billboard sign sends a strong message. It also makes Progressive anti-gunner's heads spin round because its impossible for them to demonize or label the message, except to call it racist and hope somehow the average person is too stupid to understand the truth behind it.

    So what if Jpfo put up a billboard that showed a photo of a train loaded with jews
    and put under it " NEVER AGAIN"

    SCREW THOSE LIBERAL LAP DOGS! The people who will never understand the message are the ones protected the most by it.
