By the 1960s, the invading hordes of Italians succeeded in getting John Cabot erased from history and replacing him with Columbus.dienwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878081733638742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-89156703227330871132015-10-17T03:04:26.864-04:002015-10-17T03:04:26.864-04:00First off, some of these commenters have some inte...First off, some of these commenters have some interesting ideas about history.<br /><br />Second: screw Columbus.

The first point to be made is that these leftist tools don't have any standards to speak of and if some new political tactic required rehabilitating Columbus they would do it without a second thought. The second is that the Spaniards that Columbus led to the new world had just emerged from a 700 year long struggle to rid their country of Moorish occupation. Their victory no doubt imbued them with a sense of rightious invincibility in their cause and religion. Thirdly, although some of the tribes they encountered were peaceful and welcoming most of them weren't and were brutal savages they enslaved their weeker neighbors and hauled their victims to the alters of human sacrifice. I for one have grown weary of all the PC bs about the "nobility" of the native cultures. Yes Cortez and his conquestadors were in awe when they they first look down at the size of the Axtec capital, but their awe soon turned to revulsion at the stench of death and rotted flesh, the fly infested pyramids of human heads and blood staind steps of the temples. There is a reason Cortez and his 500 soldiers were able to make short work of the Aztecs. The main reason was that all their subject peoples were ready for any means to free themselves from the Aztec's savagery. "The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico" by Bernal Diaz del Castillo is a great origional source and eye witness account of the events.

I have seen professional memos were Christmas is written as "Xmas" and this is where no other words in the text are abbreviated.

These other Indian nations were glad (at the time) to make an alliance with Cortes to knock off the hated Aztecs. So much for the idyllic world that existed in the Americas before the Europeans arrived.<br />By the way, regarding the claim that Columbus didn't "discover" America, it is true that others got there first from the Old World, apparently the Vikings did, and Portuguese fishermen might also have in the years before 1492, but the fact is that none of them really knew what they were looking at and didn't do anything with it. Although Columbus thought he was in southeast Asia, he did begin mapping the area, settling it and putting it in constant contact with Europe. This he is most definitely the true "discoverer" of America.Y.

However, to be really accurate, the PC crowd needs to insist that the current remnants of the native populations of the Western Hemisphere should at the very least, insist that these groups show their disdain for Columbus's legacy by renouncing all of the decadent Western "advances." To wit: Need a tooth or appendix out, no anesthesia, no sterilized instrument. A rock or flint knife will do.<br />No electricity, no woven materials. Animal skins and fires built without matches or flint and steel even. Let the Venezuelan leadership move to the forest, live in a hammock, and wear skins or leaves. Catch fish with a net or bow and arrow.<br /><br />As for the Phony Aztecs, their ancestors were probably butchered alive and eaten by the real ones. So, if they show up at my doorstep, I will assume they too are cannibals and will deal with them accordingly. In reality, the current remnants of the native groups from Patagonia to Nunavik should all voluntarily repatriate themselves back to Siberia. I would love to repatriate myself back to my ancestor's places in either Florence or Messina, but they are already crowded.<br /><br />I would have been more than happy to celebrate Columbus day today, but I do not work for the government and had to put in a full day at work. <br /><br />Oh, and I forgot. The PC nativist crowd should also renounce the bourgeois concepts of welfare and money. They can feel free to go to the mountains and smoke all of the dope they have been cultivating there. However, the rest of us need not feel obligated to make sure they have food and water nor firefighting support in case they light up the forest by flinging a hot doobie into the bushes.Just a common 'taternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-21192629812887935472015-10-12T22:03:22.183-04:002015-10-12T22:03:22.183-04:00I was under the impression that he was killed off ...I was under the impression that he was killed off about 23 years ago by the barbarians with Phds and their students. drAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-47971277766655262502015-10-12T17:15:45.214-04:002015-10-12T17:15:45.214-04:00Obama just dropped 50 tons of supplies to ISIS, so...Obama just dropped 50 tons of supplies to ISIS, some schools are doing away with Halloween for those who don't want to participate, which means no one can participate, no pork products in federal prisons because they say prisoners don't like bacon (boy, not hard to see through that one,) and the media avoids Columbus Day.

Columbus brought with him old world diseases unknown in the new world. In short order about 90% of the indigenous population died from pandemics. Which made the importation of black slave labor courtesy of other blacks, and Arabs, an economic necessity in the new world. And since they West African blacks already had immunity to old world diseases AND malaria, they were the slaves of choice.
