Chris rocked! I was kind of surprised though. I thought all the authorities had caved in and cancelled this a while back. White folks are such evil bastards.

Everyone should eat pasta for Colombo! Italian explorer!

You can finish with some fry bread if you like.

I’m surprised this holiday is still celebrated with the PC police being so active. Then it dawned on me— most of the people who actually get the day off are Libs.

Many accuse Columbus of killing many when he came to America. If you look at the Spanish explorer Pizarro he and his diseased army and the diseased pigs he brought over may have killed 2 million form his imported plague.

And if Columbus had not set sail, we would be celebrating Pedro Álvares Cabral day as he discovered Brazil on April 22, 1500.

The New World was going to be discovered no matter what.

According to 99.999% of anthropologists — liberal and conservative — North America had no indigenous people. Only some people who migrated here before others.

But if we’re going to play the “indigenous people” game, why aren’t illegal immigrants considered unwanted interlopers in the United States???

By the way, Columbus Day is no longer a federal holiday. It is a “Regional Holiday,” and most states no longer recognize it. It is not listed as a Texas state holiday, but we still have LBJ’s Birthday (August 27)!

he was the first Democrat. he left not knowing where he was going, convinced he was right. He had no idea where he was when he got there. When he returned, he had no idea where he had been. And he did it all with someone else’s money.

I must be an indigenous person. My ancestors, mother and father’s lines, came to this country in the 1790’s. That certainly makes me a native american.

My ancestry, Scottish and Welsh, makes me ready to scalp anyone who disputes it.

IN 1492

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.

He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.

A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.

Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.

Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.

Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.

October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!

“Indians! Indians!” Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.

But “India” the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.

The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.

Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he’d been told.

He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.

The first American? No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

Always celebrating the victim... The Left truly does love their cult of victimology.

Not being a politically correct person, I think we should change Columbus Day to Wops and Robbers Day.
