Socialists, Nazis, Communists, all authoritarians feel the need to tear things down and replace them with nonsense. It is the methodology of dictator-minded people going back for centuries. They must destroy before they build their dictatorships.

Well, so to disappoint all the stupid lunkheads out there, but . . .

Today is Columbus Day, not Indigenous Peoples Day

Columbus Day is a national holiday in many countries of the Americas and elsewhere, and a federal holiday in the United States, which officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492.

Christopher Columbus was a Genovese-born explorer who became a subject of the Hispanic Monarchy in order to lead a Spanish enterprise to cross the Atlantic Ocean in search of an alternative route to the Far East, only to land in the New World. Columbus's first voyage to the New World on the Spanish ships Santa María, Niña, and La Pinta took approximately three months. Columbus and his crew's arrival in the New World initiated the colonization of the Americas by Spain, followed in the ensuing centuries by other European powers, as well as the transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, and technology between the New World and the Old World, an event referred to by some late 20th‐century historians as the Columbian Exchange.

The landing is celebrated as Columbus Day in the United States, but the name varies on the international spectrum. The Dominican Republic, the epicenter of the historical event and where Columbus first set foot, celebrates this day as "The Discovery of the Americas". In some Latin American countries, October 12 is known as Día de la Raza or "Day of the Race". This is the case for Mexico, which inspired Jose Vasconcelos' book celebrating the Day of the Iberoamerican Race. Some countries such as Spain refer to the holiday as Día de la Hispanidad and Fiesta Nacional de España.

Giornata Nazionale di Cristoforo Colombo or Festa Nazionale di Cristoforo Colombo is the formal name of the celebration in Italy as well as in Little Italys around the world.

The Earth's Land Belongs Only to Those Who Can Produce the Most From It

Give the Indigenees the vermin and the vegetation; that's all they ever owned when they were in charge here. White people built everything of value in America, and also gave value to the resources that had been worthless when wasted on the Low-IQ savages.

In the Name of the Fuhrer, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Pope Adolf resigned because he vas promoted. Ex-Pope Adolf and Ex-Governor Arnold vill lead Germany to victory in the next Vorld Var, vhich vill be the first vun to count. Those other vars, they vere only pre-season.

Germans are the most compassionate people in the vorld. Ve felt sorry for you losers, so ve let you vin a couple of practice vars.

On Opening Day, ve vill blitzkrieg Argentina, because they attacked us first. As soon as ex-Pope Adolf left for Berlin, they invaded Vatican City and installed their puppet pope. The College of Cardinals didn't object, because none of them are from Germany. As every sports fan knows, the Cardinals are all from St. Louis and Phoenix.

Because of our famous compassion for losers, ve vill put all the Argentinians in concentration camps to protect them from the Brazilians. Then ve vill remove Pope Frankie and install Pope Adolf II. Vonce a German pope, alvays a German pope.

The Canadians will tell you it is Thanksgiving. Canadian Thanksgiving falls on America's Columbus Day.

And that is alright with me. Others can celebrate whatever holiday they want. Feel free to celebrate Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, Indigenous Peoples Day, or even trump day if you like.
