I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Columbus day!

When I was a kid in school we would celebrate today with drawing ships and learning about the fateful voyage of Nina, Pintia and the Santa Maria.

Now Columbus is cursed as a raycist and that this day began the downfall of the Americas(Which it kind of did).

Its amazing how times change and how quickly they do. I was probably taught basically the same thing in the 1960's that was taught in the 1860's and 40 years later BAM......................

I hear phokahantas is pissing and moaning about how we should rename it Indigenous peoples day, That coming from a person who faked being an Indian to get a better job and advance herself. I don't know how she can even open her mouth.

    Back at you Sam, for many of the same reasons!

    We have the racist so called Social Justice Warriors coming out of the woodwork. The same racist type people were alive and well in America during the 1600s. It came to a head and burst under Dishonest Abe's leadership. As always, we have their kind and dirty politicians to blame, and as always the decent folks are silenced. May their kind die and go straight to hell immediately if not sooner.
    What's next?

    Hopefully it will stay this way and not turn into indigenous people's day....

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Christopher Columus!! One of Kathryn Hepburn's favorite expressions! :D

    I personally like Columbo very much. "Just one more thing", :o Leaf Erickson discovered America while wearing antlers on top of his head. Nobody shot him, mistaking him for a deer.

    I will drink a beer today in honor of Chris Columbus! He at least gives the mailman the day off and that means no bills for me to look at! 8-)
