he took pride in the fact that he was a citizen of Genoa, Italy. The celebration of Columbus Day is, therefore, an appropriate opportunity to recognize the more than 16 million Americans who claim Italian heritage and to carry forth the legacy of generations of Italian Americans who helped shape our Nation

HE SOLIDIFIED MY VOTE!! :)

not that he had to.

And if Columbus had not “sailed the Ocean Blue”, in 1492, the Americas would have been discovered by Pedro Álvares Cabral, a few years later.

It is good to have again a president who doesn’t have the need to apologize for our civilization.

[Tired of Taxes]

Thank you, Mr. President.

Columbus flew two flags on his initial voyage. He flew the Lions and Castles Flag (the Royal Standard of Spain, Castile and León). The flag’s design is based off the Coat of Arms of Castile and León but without the shield and crown. This flag is made of four alternating quadrants. Quadrants one and four are have red backgrounds with Spanish castles having three crenellations and three windows. The second and third quadrants have white backgrounds with a red colored rampant lion wearing a crown.

The other flag flown by the fleet of ships is now known as the Columbus Flag. He wrote in his logbook in 1492 that we would carry a second flag to go with the Royal Standard and that flag would be selected by his two captains. The Columbus Flag has a white field with a green Maltese cross in the center. On either side of the cross were a green F and a green Y. These letters paid homage to King Fernando of Aragon and Sicily and Ysabel, queen of Castile and Leon. Above both the F and the Y were two golden open crowns.

Personally, I think we should be celebrating Cortes Day. If that is too brutal, maybe Henry Hudson Day, as he actually explored what is now the continental United States.

Columbus? Landed in the Caribbean, mon. Was a very corrupt Viceroy who was brought back in chains.

If you’ve watch Mel Gibson’s APOCALYPTO and you know history the happy go lucky victims, the indigenous peoples were killing eat other and sacrificing their own people to the gods for centuries before the evil Europeans came and ruined their day
