Great article. Thanks for posting it!

Excellent article. I knew in my heart all along it was right to honor Christopher Columbus, so I did. Now I know in my head as well and will use these facts to defend my choice to celebrate a great man and his achievements.

Thanks Salvation.

[dp0622]

He was a good Christian Italian like me!! :)

And A LOT of this and his writing I did not know.

Thank you Salvation.

Happy Columbus Day!

Everyone eat a cannoli today!! :)

[dp0622]

I remember fondly the emails we sent to our rep and deblahblahblah letting them know that the Columbus Statue would not go gently into that good night.

If they tried to take it down, MANY, MANY Americans of Italian descent, would have showed up.

And we’re FAGtifa.

He finally shut his mouth about it.

[OrangeHoof]

Columbus also did not discover Ohio.

[Salvation]

Wow! Thank you for all the links.

[SunkenCiv]

I wonder if the rather large Columbus monument in Syracuse NY is still there?

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure.

[matthew fuller]

Great post- Thank you, Salvation.

[dp0622]

I believe it’s there but some faggot tribe from God knows where is b.tching about it i think.

[Jeff Chandler]

Thank you for this article.

Is it possible that columbus knew about the vikings? I have heard he sailed to iceland in 1477 he could have heard about them then. Any references would be appreciated
