Italian-Americans are the only bulwark against political correctness still keeping Columbus on the calendar...

DAMN ####ING STRAIGHT.

I spit on every state that has renamed it.

“Native American” day can #### my ####.

Political Correctness is tyranny .. with manners
But it remains tyranny !

If our nation cannot purge itself of libtards in twenty years the 4th of July will be Che Guevarra Day.

[ If Columbus is to be stricken from the history books in favor of ideological thugs like Malcolm X or Caesar Chavez, then America must soon follow. ]

A nation that elected Barack Hussein Obama is in serious danger of ceasing to exist. All according to plan. As if once wasn’t enough, they had to do it TWICE.

One thing Trump can do is drastically cut back social welfare benefits from all but the worst hardship cases, so that the usual suspects you see at various leftwing ‘rallies’ and poltical demonstrations that have all this free time on their hands actually have to work for a living, and also build more prisons for those who can’t adjust to that new paradigm.

I love the term “native American.” My family are white Anglosaxon native Americans.
A NA is a settler, someone whose ancestors entered an unpopulated land and began homesteading.
Just as settlers from the Russian land bridge settled in this land, my ancestors came through the Jamestown colony, migrated north to the central Chesapeake Bay eastern shore and settled near Cambridge, just outside Church Creek in a little spit of land known as World’s End. They were the first people to ever inhabit that area. They established an unbroken claim to the land for me and my clan as true native Americans.

I’m sure Hillary Clinton will stop this from continuing

[imardmd1]

Is this from Columbus. OPhuo, or is t from the home of the glorious Queen of Battles?

[Catholic Canadian]

Congrats, you’ve now become just like us America, squashing any history in your country deemed unsavoury by the ‘educated’ PC shitheads. I wonder how much better off our respective countries would be if we just shut down all non-Stem education in our universities and colleges.

If only we and dems had the same interpretation.

All I see is that my heritage’s holiday is being smacked in the the face across the country when Italians kept moving forward while indians cried and still cry like b.tches and get drunk.

You lost. It’s over. Move the #### on.

I was born here, I am a native American, and so are my forbears back to the 1600s. I'm not any less native than the displaced aborigines who scalped my pioneer forbears that were imposing some form of discipline on the existing hand-to-mouth degenerates, the pre-existing inhabitants who lacked inventivenes, and only kept moving on from their camp sites after filling them up with excrement rather than burying it.

We made it what it is, up to the point where Emma Lazarus invited the huddled masses yearning to be free from the czarist tyrants of eastern Europe, and the wretched refuse of the teeming Mediterranean shores started coming and screwing up the plan for a truly free land under Christian government. They've almost completed the job of destroying our Pilgrim religion and our Puritan principles. They've almost won out. I guess it's too late to send Lazarus and all these other bilge-drinkers from southern and eastern Europe back to where they came from. Eh? /sarc

My mom was born here and so was I so I’m a Native American!

My nephews and nieces don’t speak Italian, won’t carry on our traditions once we’re gone, and the vowel at the end of their name will be the only reminder of where they came from.

And that’s OK. That’s how a 3rd generation should be.

My generation (48) is the last of the Italian speaking, custom keeping, Columbus parade going, REAL italian food eating people from the boot.

And that’s just fine by me.

[imardmd1]

And that’s just fine by me.

If you're moral, law-abiding, vote, support the 2nd Amendment and your local church, pay your taxes, and feed and house yourself and your family, that's OK for me, too. You've been acculturated and assimilated into a viable society.

For the English, Scotch, Swedes, Germans, and Polish--they brought it with the first generation. Still do.

[dp0622]

Currently law abiding going on 20 years :)

You’re right though. No problem keeping tradition in the house or going to the Feast or the Columbus Parade.

Or St. Patrick’s parade.

AS LONG AS your are an American first and by far.

In a number of cities Columbus Day was transformed into Indigenous People's Day, which sounds like a Marxist terrorist group's holiday.

The indigenous people of Europe and the UK are being told that they must blindly accept the colonization of their lands by Islamic supremacists who seek to control the territory by theocratic rule.

The Left is anti-West, they are not consistent on these matters.

There is dating site that has fake accounts set up by foreigners (to phish for personal information or otherwise run scams).

The statements are flowery and contain cut and pasted text that can be readily found elsewhere in web searches.

Many of these foreigners do not understand what is meant “locally” by the term “Native American” so they use it for profiles of blonde white women, Amerasian women, black women, etc.

How many generations does one need to be living in America to be a “native born American”?

[a fool in paradise]

They were the first people to ever inhabit that area.

Oh, they DESTROYED pristine old growth forests!

Libs are going to hate your family for their Original Sin. You can't wash it off of you but you can eternally pay your sin taxes to aggrieved parties.
