SEATTLE– The vote to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day in Seattle has been postponed so the Mayor and other elected officials can hold a signing ceremony next month to mark the change.

Columbus Day has been celebrated throughout the United States for decades, but the Human Rights Commission pushed for the name change. The proposal is being sponsored by council members Bruce Harrell and Kshama Sawant...

How about muslim awareness day? Because Columbus found a way around the muslims to re-establish trade with Asia.

Christopher Columbus probably wishes he had sailed east to go east instead of west in search of the east. He is not popular with the American people any more.

Seattle is a Marxist cesspool. Who could live in that feces-pit?

What does it mean?

It means that know-it-all liberals, not unlike relentless viruses that foment endless vomiting and diarrhea, aren't happy unless everyone is lying on the bathroom floor in a cold sweat wishing they were dead, 'cause that'd be more fun.

Wouldn’t “día de la Raza” be more appropriate?

The grease man would refer to them as “indigent populants”.

Idiots. If your that darned concerned about honoring Indigenous Peoples, why don't you change the name of Seattle to honor the name of the Indigenous Person it was named for Chief Sealth?

I don't know what the Indigenous Peoples' word for "dumbasses" is but whatever it is, it would fit.

To be morally consistent all who support this should go back to where their ancestors came from.

"Indigenous Peoples Day. Has a nice ring to it. What does it mean?"

It's a relabeling of a day to honor moronic, brain damaged Democrats, nationwide.

I say nationwide because Seattle quite naturally assumes everyone in the world is as smug and stupid as they are.

I keep returning to the concept of gassing all registered Democrats, as a way to save trillions of dollars annually, eliminating social strife and 90% of urban crime and increasing the national IQ average by 50%.

What?! Have we run out of days? Do we have to recycle and rename an existing holiday in order to humor a few leftist whackos? Pick a day; ANY day, assign it to them and let them name it what they want.

No, they don’t WANT that. Nobody would pay any attention to THEIR crappy day. But if they can hijack an existing holiday that is already being observed, they think they can steal a little recognition and have a half-assed holiday of their very own.

I say let them start a new holiday and make the most of it, or go pound sand!

Rename Seattle - it’s named after an indigenous people like the Washington Redskins.

I think another of the problems the heathen democRATS have with Columbus Day is his name. Christopher means “Christ Bearer”.

Columbus clearly stated in his writings that when he began his voyage with all around him believing the earth was flat, that he had the definite guidance of the indwelling Holy Spirit assuring him that his voyage was no fool’s errand, and that he was doing the Lord’s work., viz, preparing a place for the subsequent founding of the greatest, free-est, godly-est nation on the planet. Sadly, the same heathens who hate the holiday, also hate God, hate America and its Founding, and are diligently working on its destruction.
