In a presidential action issued on Friday, proclaiming Oct. 13 as Columbus Day, President Barack Obama noted that a new history launched by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus discovery of the new world included the history of American Indians, which he said is marred with long and shameful chapters of violence, disease, and deprivation. In a new world, a history was written, said Obamas proclamation, required by a 1934 Congressional Joint Resolution. It tells the story of an idea that all women and men are created equal and a people´s struggle to fulfill it. And it is a history shared by

And now, US history is marred with the Obamas.
Those wonderful indigenous peoples!

Aint Diversity grand!
On the socialist networking sites (faceplace, etc.) people today are posting lists of the many other people who “discovered” America. What did they DO with it?
If “Europe” hadn’t developed the Western world, Asia may have. Or somebody else.
It’s hard to think that it would’ve remained backwater and undeveloped for hundreds of years. If it had, think of Africa. Or at least South America.
Would the world be better off?
So much anti-American rhetoric from ‘muricans today. Feh.
Love it or leave it. Converting us to Communism does NO ONE any good except Imperial Communists.
The next time some “co-exister” (like President Obama) proclaims the greatness of Islam, tell them that its history is marred by violence, slavery, deprivation, genocide, misogyny, and intolerance.
Yes it was and LONG before Columbus showed up.
Nobody ever talks about the great depopulating of North America that happened before Columbus. They say at one point it had a population like Europe - maybe even just a century or two before Columbus. Then something happened. They devolved basically
The Great Spirit would never allow such a thing! White racist propaganda! Lewis & Clark were revisionists!
History is a record of humans oppressing others, usually through the “authority” of government.
America was an exception in history. Was.
“and to the republic for which it stood”
Tecumseh couldn't even get them to agree to stop the white man from going beyond Indiana.
And Obama is here to bring this violence,disease and depredation into the 21 century and make sure everybody suffers!
Prepare.
Gotcha, thanks.
An apt description of the 0bama era.
As stated in the book, “Animal Farm”:
“some animals are more equal than others.”
Barry Barack Hussein Obama Soetero is one of those PIGS!!!
IOWs a recurring pattern of cultural rising and falling that has occurred throughout history on every continent on the planet.
The only real talent 0bama has is petty demagoguery.
Since pre-Columbian America was a peaceful paradise of nature worshippers one must suppose having hearts ripped out and offered up to the Sun God was just a harmless religious ceremony, something like a certain religion’s fetish with beheadings, slavery, and rape. Speaking as someone with ancestry from two different North American tribes, were the aboriginal inhabitants of this continent treated horribly? Yes, absolutely. But guess what. There’s not a damned thing anyone can do about it now and bringing it up to try and lay a guilt trip on people whose only association with it comes by virtue of their skin color is racist in the extreme and solely intended to gin up hate. Sow the wind, Mr. President. The whirlwind has your name on it.
violence, disease, and deprivation... all greatly decreased by Western civilization.
That was priceless
now I need to go find and follow Steve
Minus that history Obama would still be in Africa right now. Or perhaps he would have come over here and donated his scalp to his haloed indian friends.
While Columbus was Italian .. he came under the Spanish flag.. it was Spain.. and Hispanic culture for both good and bad that first open the new world. .. you can see the pc agenda in the left leaves the truth out and try to blame all the ills on the one non hispanic...
