the people who want to see Columbus Day banned...

I’m Italian and LOVE the Columbus Day parade. Dignitaries from Italy even show up.

Recently, an acquaintance sent me a video of “Native Americans”, whatever the hell that means, slandering and insulting Columbus.

The email I sent back pretty much ensured no chance of a budding friendship.

Poor babies. Good Lord that was more than 500 years ago. Stop the @#$ing whining.

You didn’t invent gunpowder fast enough. You lost. It’s life. It sucks sometimes. tough.

And yes, of course Italy comes a very very distant second to the US, my country of birth. Not even close. But a great parade :0

Ohio Gov. John Kasich recently argued for promoting America's "Judeo-Christian" values of tolerance, equality, free speech and pluralism. NBC's Chuck Todd fretted that such rhetoric sounded "anti-Islam."

Islam's "values" do not include tolerance, equality, free speech and pluralism.
