Open thread for Sunday, October 7th: Columbus Day edition
October 7, 2012
Here is the open thread for Sunday, October 7th; please feel free to post links to interesting articles and discuss whatever issues arise during the day.
Tomorrow is Columbus Day so I dug around You Tube hoping to find a ‘Schoolhouse Rock’ video of Columbus but apparently they never made one. So instead I give you this Columbus Day cartoon from the ’70s. Enjoy and have a great day!

America's Watchtower 
Christopher Columbus, aka Cristobal Colon, was made a persona non gratis in the history of the New World by Hugo Rafael Frias Chavez some seven or eight wears ago. Cristobal Colon’s crime was stealing the Americas from the indiginous indians, which led the Spanish and the Portugese amd the Dutch and others to bring to these continents black slaves from Africa. So, all statues of Cristobal Colon were torn down and replaced ny statues of indians and of Che Gavarra. Chavez, of course, never told his people that had it not been for Cristobal Colon there would be no modern civilization in this part of the planent, there would not exist the mixed race of peoples who live here today, there would not be the oil riches for him to plunder, and there would not be a Venezuela, or Equador or Columbia or Bolivia, or ect, ect, ect. There would only be a few small tribes of indians living hunting and gathering; including the tribe known as Caribes who were canibles and who were probably responsible for the murder of the crew that Christopher Culumbus left behind when he returned to Spain after his first voyage.
Stupidity knows no bounds!

Great history lesson Jim, thanks for sharing this! Columbus has become a villain to many on the left who try to look at history through a prism of modern thinking which isn’t applicable.

We must celebrate it while we can, the left is doing all they can to vilify Columbus and our founding in general.

Here we go, for our “safety”! Once again we are being told this is for our own good. We need drones and blimps over our cities? What do most people not understand about this crap that is being forced on us? Are they that complacent that they find it acceptible to have someone watching us 24/7 now?.

I saw this earlier Lou and it makes me even more worried about these drones. Between this, the ammo buys, and the NDAA I have to wonder what they have planned for us.
