Glad that Columbus came along

Silvio Canto, Jr.   "In 2017, President Trump signed a proclamation for Columbus and it did not blame Christopher for a darn thing. Let’s see the text: . . .    

 ..."The Europeans brought a lot to the New World, such as the rule of law and eventually the Bill of Rights that allows uninformed people to protest Columbus’ monuments.   

"Blaming Columbus for every native woman raped or village destroyed misrepresents what actually happened after he landed here.  After all, most of today's Columbus critics would not last a second under Moctezuma, Geronimo, or the others.  The "indigenous people" crowd has created this romantic view of what was here before Columbus.  

"As for me, I’m delighted that I was born in a New World discovered by Columbus.  In the meantime, the attacks continue."


No, Columbus did not say this:  Migrant Caravan Activist Says They Are ‘Ready For War’ 

...And what is Kamala Harris doing about the situation, as Joe Biden placed her in charge of the migration crisis? This week she avoided an important meeting about it as she played politics in New Jersey.... 

 Why The Left Tells Lies About Christopher Columbus  "For over a decade, Columbus has been painted as a mass murderer, committing all sorts of crimes in the New World, including genocide. 

"So far, though, he has not–at least, not yet–been accused of not providing transgender bathrooms in his ships.

Those accusations are complete fabrications, unsupported by even one shred of historical evidence. Let me repeat that because it is very important: there is no historical basis, no contemporary documents, nothing, that indicates that he engaged in all of the “crimes” that present-day activists have promulgated. None! Zip! Nada!

"The “accusations” (which often sound more like insults than rational accusations) range from the gruesome (claiming he chopped off Indians’ hands for not bringing gold or carrying out genocide—total fabrications) to the infantile (ridiculing the fact that one of his ships sunk—he was not the captain of that particular ship and they were sailing in uncharted seas abounding in hidden reefs), to the stupid (Democrat politicians and Native Americans claiming that Columbus carried out genocide in North America, where he never set foot nor sail).

"Nonetheless, we can expect the usual posturing and sloganeering on Columbus Day by historically illiterate leftists and “indigenous people,” some of the latter being about as Native American as Elizabeth Warren.". . .
