WELL I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR NEW TRIBAL OVERLORDS

Honestly, I suggest aluminum shortages may be in our future due to the sheer volume and thickness of the tinfoil hats that must be donned to believe the latest fetid product out of the Obama Derangement Testing Facilities.

The good news is that the right-wing isn't talking about President Obama being a secret Muslim right now. The bad news is that they're now concerned that he's going to use his honorary status as a Crow Tribe Indian to return the United States to Native Americans.

The outrage began after the President announced on December 16 that the U.S. would reverse course and support the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. The Declaration was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 2007, but the U.S., under President Bush, opposed it. 

"The aspirations it affirms -- including the respect for the institutions and rich cultures of Native peoples -- are ones we must always seek to fulfill," the President said of the Declaration at White House Tribal Nations Conference where he announced the reversal. He went on to describe efforts to improve health care, education, and unemployment rates in tribal areas.

Bonus for the wingers, an all-new (all old) group of people to hate in Native Americans.  Combine the specter of "Oh noes, reparations!" with the fever dreams of  "He's not really one of us", add a layer of "One World UN Gubment!" and stir in a big sticky glob of good ol' racism and you get "Obama is gonna give Manhattan back to them!"

But why stop there?

Last week, the "Director of Issues Analysis" for the Christian conservative American Family Association, Brian Fischer, wrote a blog post claiming that "President Obama wants to give the entire land mass of the United States of America back to the Indians. He wants Indian tribes to be our new overlords."

"Perhaps he figures that, as an adopted Crow Indian, he will be the new chief over this revived Indian empire," Fischer wrote. "But for the other 312 million of us, I think we'll settle for our constitutional 'We the people' form of government, thank you very much."

Ahh yes, Bryan Fischer again, the wingnut gift that keeps on giving.  Whatever Fischer's on, it must be absolutely great stuff.
