All four of my Jewish grandparents arrived here at the turn of the 19th/20th century from Russia and Eastern Europe.
But I was born here and have lived here my whole life.
So I think “Indigenous Peopls’s Day” is a great idea.
There should be a day on which we Indigenous Americans celebrate our native American culture and heritage - from Baseball to jazz to all the inventions and prosperity that our culture has created and bestowed on the rest of the world — as a counter offensive to all the unjustified attention and special privileges bestowed on the illegal aliens who have invaded us over the past several decades.
So here’s to “Indigenous People’s Day.” I hope it catches on nationwide next year, as a way of reclaiming our true American heritage.
I’ll start the celebration with a nice cold bottle of Sam Adams. How will you celebrate?
I should add that display of the Mexican flag ought to be outlawed on Indigenous people’s day, just as the display of the American flag has been outlawed on Sink O’DeMaio.
Funny how the left never attacks MLK or MILK despite their failings...
Why don’t we petition Congress to change the name of Columbus Day to Government Subsidy Day? After all, Columbus left Spain for the Indies (the East Indies) because the Mohammedans controlled the trade routes to the Indies. He stumbled upon the West Indies. While he was here, he did not know where he was. He found is way back and fourth a total of four more times. When he finally realized he wasn’t in the East Indies, the King and Queen of Spain were upset and had him imprisoned for failing to deliver the spices he had set out to deliver and imprisoned him. He had the last laugh. He did all that traveling on someone else’s money.
The Age of Discovery was therefore launched to find a way around the threat of Islamic piracy. Yet these journeys had another, more military, purpose in mind. In his representations to the Spanish King and Queen, Columbus made it clear that the discovery of a “short” route to China might open the possibility of an alliance against Islam. The main purpose of the projected expedition was, in the words of Louis Bertrand, “to take Islam in the rear, and to effect an alliance with the Great Khan — a mythical personage who was believed to be the sovereign of all that region, and favourable to the Christian religion …” (Louis Bertrand, The History of Spain, p. 163) Bertrand was very insistent on this point, which he emphasized in half a dozen pages. The voyage of discovery was to begin a new phase, he says, in “the Crusade against the Moors which was to be continued by a new and surer route. It was by way of the Indies that Islam was to be dealt a mortal blow.” (Ibid.)
