Yesterday was Columbus Day in the
United States. Well, actually, many states and towns celebrated “Indigenous
People’s Day.” The drive to replace Christopher Columbus with Native Americans
and rename the day in honor of the latter is picking up momentum.
This
continent, you see, was a pristine paradise free of alcohol, European diseases,
capitalism and, well, white men,
before the old seafarer arrived. It was teeming with game and unfettered by
fences and Christian ideas of morality. No factories polluted the land, water
and sky. And then, HE came along and
ruined everything. Suddenly sweat shops, meth labs and Wal-Marts were popping
up everywhere, like dandelions in an unkempt yard.
Funny
thing though, every time I hear the libs fantastical fabrications of
post-Columbus devastation, I am reminded of how welcoming they now think American citizens should be of
all immigrants, legal or illegal, no matter their reasons for wanting to be
here. (Get them across the border, onto food stamps and into a voting booth, post haste!).
Columbus
haters, I thought diversity was good,
no? Does everybody have to stay within a few hundred yards of where they were
born? I thought the “Indians” themselves
came across a land bridge from Asia? They weren’t Native Americans, then, were
they?! By that “logic” civilization should just have contained itself to Mesopotamia
and Egypt, forever and ever, amen. (Some radical professors at colleges around
the country would probably have been in favor of that. “The rest of the world
reserved for the indigenous animals, yay!” Of course, that would mean that they wouldn’t exist, but, hey, they’re
typically pro Planned Parenthood, too, so they are not necessarily logicians).
Can’t
you progressives stop bullying Columbus, stop hating on him? Shouldn’t you be more welcoming and less judgmental? Should the Indians have simply excluded all Europeans?
Perhaps
they should have built a fence.
