Showing Original Post only (View all)Now the Right Wing Extremists are going after Native Americans [View all]
CNN senior political commentator Rick Santorum claimed that Christian settlers from Europe had to build America from nothing, adding that there was nothing here and there isnt much Native American culture in American culture.
Speaking at the right-wing student organization Young Americas Foundations Standing Up For Faith & Freedom conference last week, Santoruma former Pennsylvania senator and GOP presidential candidateinsisted that America was built on a blank-slate continent.
In doing so, he focused his attention solely on white European Christians who settled in the New World in the 17th century while ignoring the fact that there was an indigenous population that had been in America for centuries beforehand...
They won't stop until they convince everyone the U.S is a white nation from day one.
