Michelle Obama started this when during the 2012 campaign when she said Barack has a lot of work to do to change our history and tradition. The Democrats have taken this up s their ultimate goal because young people will be easier to control if they don’t know how this great Republic started and grew.

There’s no war on Christmas, war on Easter, war on thanksgiving, war on columbus day, war on veterans day, war on memorial day, war on independence day, war on America.

Go back to sleep, gay pride marxist woman’s earth day is coming soon

Exactly.

If what Columbus and the pilgrims did was wrong then what the Muslims are doing is wrong.

Columbus Day is a federal holiday though? A state cannot override that.

“The state has a large number of problems that are far more serious than Columbus Day...”

Yeah, the last time I was in Burlington, it reminded me of Communist East Germany in its appearance! The only thing missing was the Volpos and their automatic weapons!

“I know it’s controversial from many standpoints, from many people, but you know, it’s just a day, and we’ll get through it,”

"It's just a day," huh? Obviously your state government thought it merited its attention; the Democrats in the Vermont legislature think it's more than "just a day."

The Indian’s ancestors were from Asia.

They were here first but they are NOT indigenous.

Not the least of which is the roads were better in Bosnia during the war. The commies have instituted 149 welfare programs to draw locusts from all over for the 300,000 taxpayers to support.

P.S. Phil Scott calling himself a republican is an abomination, and I’m not that fond of republicans.

Who cares?

I never thought Columbus “discovered” America. Even in my youth I knew that the Vikings had been here hundreds of years earlier.

Columbus didn't discover America. The indigenous people already knew it was here.

Columbus was the first to bring the word of Jesus our Lord to the Americas. As if the lefties needed another reason to hate Columbus.

“Yep, and the right’s kindness/passiveness is making it pretty easy. “

Suicidal altruism.
