There’s another statue of Lenin in NYC.
Red Wing, Minnesota did the same thing. Seems to me Minneapolis did it too.
When I debate these people they say the indians, or whatever they are to be called, were here first. Baloney. They didn’t grow out of the ground.
I always laugh when these historians pick a certain point in history and then expound on it. This is a good example. They still haven’t figured out who the people of that time period were.
Am I right, Mayor DeBlasio? Up high!
Say, Comrade Mayor, since you brung it up, why don't you follow the Sealth City Council's lead and change the name of Columbus Day to Indigenous Dependents Day?
I'm sure your Lib citizens of Italian descent would applaud the move.
Go for it, Comrade, I'm behind you 100%.
LOL, funny how that seems to happen all the time…
Actually, pre-Commie Russians have more of a claim to that area than the ones their fellow travelers who now infest that city embrace.
So...Redskins Day instead?
Yeah, well, history is easily revised.
Ain't that right, Sealth City Council?
Idiots like Juan Williams spew that “there was a country here before Columbus.” Really? Well, there was a land mass, for sure, but it wasn’t a country until much later.
If only the Sealth Seahawks could've played the Washington Indigenous Peoples tomorrow night instead of last week.
Skinning their fellow Indigenous People alive. Slowly dismembering and making family members watch them being boiled or roasted one body part at a time. Scalping each other. They should thank Cristobal and others for bringing civilization to them.
Yeah, Juan? What was it called?
You would think that after the way his Libturd friends at PBS treated him, he would’ve seen the light.
Liberals: 30% self-loathing, 30% historical ignorance, 30% arrogance, 10% sawdust
Well, based on their statement Squanto is screwed
“Supporters of the action said it will recognize the rich history of people who have inhabited the area for hundreds of years...”
That would be yoi, whitey.
Bunch of idiots.
The pacific states cause that must be something in the water.
I wish that Roger Ailes (and many Freepers, by the way) hadn’t shown him so much luv after NPR dumped him. Some were fooled into thinking he’s a fee-thinking liberal, but the fact is he’s totally in lockstep with the left. And not very articulate. (His “native American” name is Deer Caught in Headlights)
According to American History professor, Dr. Philip W. Powell,in Hispanic America flourished a sophisticated European culture since the very beginning of the conquest.
According to Dr. Powell, “the American students find it disconcerting when they learn that in the Spanish American lands of Catholicism and Inquisition, a sophisticated European culture flourished, almost from the moment of the Conquest itself. This included everything from complex municipal and regional government, vast projects for Christianizing (i.e. Europeanization), and protection of even the most savage aborigines, to encouragement and successful establishment of all kinds of schools and universities, hospitals, and the production of scholars and a very respectable literature-a far more exciting and plentiful literature, by the way, than colonial English-America produced. This is to say nothing of economic and commercial activities on the grand scale. Students are invariable surprised to learn that, for all its weakness, the general system and aim was that of ‘ennoblement’ (ennoblecer) rather than destruction.” (50) (*)

I went to “Red Square” at Mandalay Bay and imbibed several rounds of “Wodka” as I stood in a glass enclosed freezer and the bust of Lennin in the middle.
It had been taken from a statue of Lennin and caused me to think “Wish I had one of these” as I grinned.
