Hmm. it must be October.

If Columbus had not discovered the new World it would have been found by the Portuguese a few years later. It was going to be found!

If the Indians had made a voyage of discovery East they may have found Europe and still contracted the diseases for which they had no immunity. it is not the Europeans fault that they were not immune to disease.
Life is tough! besides they gave Europeans Syphilis.

Columbus found Indians killing and eating Indians. His men found and saved some captive women who were pregnant. Their captors loved fresh cooked baby.

Columbus’ voyage west was to get around the Islamic countries blocking the way to Chinese goods.

Columbus was also sent to spread Christianity, oh yeah we can’t mention that either.

Too bad Columbus didn't bring his GPS, or did he but it was Made In China so it probably broke. Has anyone checked the crews' emails to see how mean and bossy 'lumbus was?

“Columbus’ voyage west was to get around the Islamic countries blocking the way to Chinese goods.”

And that dear FRiend is exactly why the liberals hate Christopher Columbus. He didn’t suck up to the peace loving Muslims.
