Irrespective of Columbus I love how the proponents of this crap try to pretend that so called ‘indigenous people’ were really happy-go-lucky glorified hippies of the day just love, peace and happiness! Which of course is a big lie and also shows the true anti-West, anti-white and anti-Christian agenda.
Hooray for Christopher Columbus!
When Columbus landed on an island in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492, all the Indian people who greeted him were walking around stark naked. They produced virtually nothing on their own.
The natives were pre-historic primitives living in huts. Aside from hunting and fishing and perhaps farming they had virtually no skills. Indigenous people around the globe lived like this.
Europe represented the height of civilization. Spain, in particularly, had driven out the Moors (the Muslims) who had conquered their lands.
It was a glorious day for the world.
Spain and Portugal would go on to colonize and civilize all of Latin America, while England and France would do the same in North America.
This insured the spread of Christianity both in the New World (and also the Far East and Africa). This simultaneous spread of Christianity and civilization acted as a bulwark against the expansionist primitive savagery of Islam which had spread by the sword.
Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain rejected the idea of slavery in their colonies and considered its inhabitants part of Spain. It was a big step forward for all humankind. Islam, wherever it advanced, spread slavery.
Widespread death from disease was a horribly unfortunately side effect but certainly not intended as such.
To make the case that Europeans set out to decimate native populations is a deliberate smear. It defames the courageous and brilliant explorers who discovered the New World.
I for one will celebrate with vigor Columbus Day this year and every year.
In 30 years, we will have zero holidays. Liberals will get rid of Christians, thanksgiving, Columbus Day, Flag Day and Fourth of July. Fake Christians will get rid of Labor Day, May Day and halloween, among others. Were screwed by two idiotic groups destroying our country.
