How soon until Columbus is renamed to Floydsville?

Sickening. At least offer to send it back to the people of Genoa.

If they even want it.

Isn’t it wonderful how our enemies show how much they hate America and Americans .... wonder how long the politicians will wait before asking us to line up for re-education ?

So now we are going to just do whatever a mob tells us to do? Then why are we spending all of this money on legislators and judges and executives?

...just don't forget to stock up on gasoline. Mad Max won't be there to save you..

Mark Steyn played a clip of crowd in Iran chanting, "Death to America!" after a speech by some Ayatollah.

demonicRATS and other Lefties in America are agreeing with them.

Is there a list anywhere of all the statues which have come down in recent years because of mob rule or civic capitulation to mob rule?

Damn them! Did they get input from the entire city? Or just a few rabble rousers.

“For many people in our community, the statue represents patriarchy, oppression and divisiveness” — Mayor Andrew Ginther.

Yet, for MANY MORE people in the community, Columbus represents brave people setting out to explore the unknown and accomplish great things such as opening up new continents, people looking to escape the stifling religious culture of 15th century Europe, people willing to leave all behind to start new lives, the conquest of new lands, the subjugation of primitive stone-age aborigines, and the spoils that go with being the victor.

“For many people in our community, the statue represents patriarchy, oppression and divisiveness,” Ginther said

Obviously a Misquote!

“For many peopleThe Mentally Deranged Far Left Lunatics in our community, the statue represents patriarchy, oppression and divisiveness,” Ginther said

I’m wondering if all of this anti-Columbus activity, virtually all of it coming from the left, will have an effect on the political opinions of Italian-Americans. There are over 17 million of them, and a lot of them vote.

This action, like thousands of other similar actions, was taken out of irrational hysteria. Emotion, not reason.

Another victory for lies over truth. The Khmer Rouge marches on. Can the red scarves be far behind?
