STUPID LIBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liberals have so indoctrinated our country with their multi-culturalism crap that our young kids in school are taught a load and taught that the white European discovery of the Americas was an evil thing! I had the opportunity to review with my 7th grade nephew his American history book. OH MY GOD!! You would think that America is non existent in the world as a source of good. The book only talked about how the discovery of the Americas led to the death of the indegenous indians. It read with out mention that the courageous men that discovered and settled the new world and that from that modest beginning in 1492 that the europeans that came to found the greatest force for good that the world has ever seen...THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
No where in the study had the students learned that only in the new world does more original democracies remain than any other region in the world. All though poor in Latin America they love their freedom. And no mention that the US and its American neighbors produce over 2/3 of all the fruits, vegetables and beef that the world consumes. No where in the text did it say or imply that more people live under freedom in North and South America than any other part of the globe. And of course no mention that Americans scientists and medical researchers are responsible for over 98% of all of the life saving drugs invented in the last 150 years. That more countries send their students to the Americas for education than any other part of the world.
And undoubtedly they forgot to mention that all of this got its start because of one little man that ventured across the ocean and dared to go where no man had even dreamed of going...and his name was Columbus. He was in my mind the original HOT BOAT DUDE! Our kids are taught to be embarrassed of him! According to all the special minority groups of this happy horse shit multi culturalism bullshit we should all be ashamed of him.
WELL I SAY SCREW THAT! THANK GOD HE HAD THE BALLS HE HAD OR NONE OF US WOULD BE HERE TODAY!

Since the Vikings were here long before Columbus, I just wonder why we have a Holiday for him, and not Leif Ericsson, or some other Scandanavian?
Especially since Columbus never set foot on the American Continent. It was Amerigo Vespucci who "discovered" what now bears his name?
PC is running rampant in Arizona. Several years ago, the NFL held us hostage and didn't consider Phoenix for a Super Bowl site, since we didn't celebrate "MLK" Day. (Not that we've ever had a "Professional" Football Team or anything.)
The state bowed and declared a MLK State Holiday, and the next year we were selected as a Super Bowl Site.
But in creating a new state Holiday, they had to take one away. Which one, he inquired? Columbus Day, what else. Put in a PC Holiday and take out a Non-PC Holiday.
Now all the State Workers have to work today, while almost everyone else (Federal, Postal, Banks, County, City, etc.) has the day off. Even the Arizona Schools are in session.
Non-PC or not, I didn't hear any of the Indians that work with my wife at the Indian Hospital (Federal Public Health Service Facility) complain about getting today off with pay, nor did any of them show up for work out of "Principles".

Alan, you're not trying to descredit Christopher now ,are you wink ? . Amerigo was HIS navigator and he WAS the captain.
Chris was way ahead of his time , he left not knowing were he was goin and returned not knowing were he had been and to top it off he did it all with borrowed money!!
It is ridiculous the garbage that is put out making Columbus a villian that began the exploitation of the native americans. Do they really think that if he hadn't someone more PC would? BTW, Amerigo Vespucci did not discover anything. It is not even certain if he set foot on the continent. A long time after Columbus and many others, he chartered the coastal area. His reports were so engrossing to the people back in Europe that they began to refer to it as Amerigo's land.

I didn't know Leif Garrett was a Viking.
