Are you an Indian?
NH
I am an American, born and raised, as proscribed in the Constitution. My parents came here from Punjab, India, which, like America, used to be a British colony.
Cow Face
How can you be a Native American if your parents are from someplace else?
Small hat big head
India broke from England because their leader was a naked guy. Why did we break away from England? Washington always wore clothes and the British spoke English.
NH
King George and the Parliament were taxing the American Colonists exactly like President Biden and the Democrats are taxing the American people today.
Pillow Butt
Didn’t we have a war on the southern border before the Civil War?
NH
Yes, it was the Mexican American War which for over a hundred and fifty years we thought we had won. Then under the direction of President Obama and more recently President Biden that conclusion we had made turned out to be just not true anymore.

How did we get mixed up in European War War Two?
NK
Japanese tourists trashed our then protectorate now 50th state Hawaii so bad one weekend that fires broke out and a large number of buildings, docks and ships were damaged or destroyed.
High Cheeks
Hitler won’t Japanese.
NK
No, but he was friends with the Japanese.
High C
How come Hitler hated Jewish people?
NK
He didn’t like their hats.
HC
Nobody does. I don’t think even Jewish people don’t like their hats neither.
NH
Just one of the reasons it was never easy to be Jewish.
Razor Eyes
How did we get hooked into Korea?
NH
We got involved in their civil war.
RE
Why did we do that?
NH
We were fighting an idea.
RE
What idea?
NH
Communism.
RE
Is the Korean civil war over?
NH
Civil wars are never over. Just look at our own.
RE
How bout the idea? How about Communism? Putin’s a king. China’s more capitalist than we are. Nobody gives a shit about Vietnam or Cuba.
NH
Ideas are never over. You can burn books, close libraries, politicize education but once an idea gets out there it never really goes away. Bad ideas travel the fastest. Fear and Hate have their own fuel. Good ideas have to slug it out every goddamn inch of the way. And maybe some don’t make it. Maybe because they demand immediate pain or giving up something we never earned.
Flat Face
Like the right to own human beings?
NH
Good example.
Flat Face
What caused our civil war?
NH
The south didn’t like the Lincoln’s hat.
