Lakota nation secedes from union

The Lakota Indians have seceded from the United States of America, declaring they're withdrawing from treaties with the US and issuing their own passports and drivers licenses. News.com.au:

"This is according to the laws of the United States, specifically article six of the constitution,'' which states that treaties are the supreme law of the land, he said.

"It is also within the laws on treaties passed at the Vienna Convention and put into effect by the US and the rest of the international community in 1980. We are legally within our rights to be free and independent,'' said (activist Russell) Means.

The Lakota relaunched their journey to freedom in 1974, when they drafted a declaration of continuing independence — an overt play on the title of the United States' Declaration of Independence from England.

"We have 33 treaties with the United States that they have not lived by. They continue to take our land, our water, our children,'' Phyllis Young, who helped organize the first international conference on indigenous rights in Geneva in 1977, told the news conference.

This is perfect! Robert Redford doesn't have to go all the way to Ireland to get away from the country he loathes. He can just go to North Dakota and live in a tipi.

Ward Churchill has been a consistent liar about his fake Indian heritage -- I'm sure the new Lakota country would take him despite the enormous whoppers.

I expect left-wingers to emigrate en masse. Their Great Climate Change Swindle is designed to revert us to a life of hunting and gathering -- like Indians -- without benefit of industrialization. They should really like life up there. I hope they send a post card, or at least smoke signals to let us know they're okay.
