According to the left there were never any conflicts between American Indians. They lived in harmony.

My daughter keeps saying we stole land from the Indians. It’s pretty well known that the Indians would “sell” their land to the white man because it was inconceivable to “own” land.

They thought they were being clever.

It just shows that they had no imagination.

Sure give them a day. Who cares.

The liberals have hated Columbus day for a long time. The recent crap just gives them an excuse to eliminate it.

The liberals should support changing Martin Luther King Day to Civil Rights Day. There were many heroes in civll rights, black and white, who gave their lives for the cause. There is no reason to justify a single person for that holiday.

I’m a bona fide defined by The Ol’ West term ‘half-breed’.

I’ve been a half-breed for 65 years and still tickin’.

In 2nd grade, I had to use a #3 pencil to draw the good ships Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria for Columbus Day. My father told me that America would not have come to be as it was, on that day, if Columbus had not made the voyage. I, would not be who I am, and might not have all the fortunes of life awaiting me.

So, with all those confused folks out there, I am standing on principle, and claiming it Columbus Day.

(My drawings won second prize that day in school.)
Katrina ate them.
