On October12,1492, the indigenous peoples did nothing out of the ordinary. On that same day, Christopher Columbus who had risked everything to fund this voyage, went where no one in Christendom had ever gone.Do we celebrate those who dare or those who simply exist?

[I want the USA back]

The hate-America left has eliminated Columbus Day in many areas. Their real target is love of this country. By accusing Columbus of genocide, they attack the very root of this country, the man who discovered the New World.

“Indigenous Peoples Day”

NOPE!

[Don Corleone]

The Columbus Day observance was started by none other than a vote seeking FDR, the liberals go to icon.

Columbus thru sailing. Get on the vehicles for outer space.

Poor Columbus sailed all that way, just to find the Banks and Post Offices were all closed.

In the context of his day Columbus was a very moral man. Columbus Day and his canonization was an effort to make Italians feel more accepted in American culture. You have to strain HARD to delegitimize this great man.

I’ve never been interested in Columbus Day. He’s got a tenuous connection to the United States at best.

As a general rule I oppose secular holidays for particular people whether it’s Columbus or MLK or Caesar Chavez.

I oppose some other federal holidays as well but that’s for another time

[Leaning Right]

So Columbus might have set in motion some rather nasty things. Well, okay. And what about those indigenous peoples? When they weren’t making war on each other, they were cutting out the hearts of their captives.

I wonder if that will be mentioned on Indigenous Peoples Day.

And Leif Erikson Day....Hinga Dinga Durgen!

By definition “indigenous” people never got off their ass and went anywhere, let alone sailed to any new lands.

“Hey, I think I see Ohio, Columbus!”

“That’s Columbus, Ohio!”

Proposal- Let’s make Columbus Day another day of national fireworks.

The American Indians have two perfectly good days to call their own.
Aug 20, 1680, when the Pueblo Revolt took place,
and
June 25, 1876, Custer’s Last Stand.

But no-0-o! They have to hijack Columbus day for their own even though they did nothing remarkable on that date!

[InvisibleChurch]

Take away the paid holiday.

[Tired of Taxes]

The anti-Columbus viewpoint is based on lies.

Indigenous Peoples Day = 1984 Day

[Lafayette County]

I just celebrated Columbus Day yesterday. The joy of working in the financial industry. It’s also a federal holiday so I’m not sure what Trump would bring back.

Yes—reaffirm COLUMBUS Day!!!!

Mexicans celebrate Columbus Day as Dia de la Raza—Day of the Mestizo People. No Columbus—no mestizos! And no USA, either! It’s that simple!!!!

just because pedojoe proclaims indian peoples day does not mean it is or ever will be
