Now this is priceless. Here’s page two:
“The Mormons’ interaction with Native Americans remained friendly until they clashed over limited resources. [In the Salt Lake Basin] Young had purposely selected the arid Great Basin as the Latter-day Saints’ new home due to its ruggedness. He wanted church members to grow closer as they struggled to build Zion, and he wanted outsiders to pass by on their way to greener locations. But Young’s plan failed to take into consideration that Native Americans already were using the Great Basin’s resources to capacity.
As Mormons poured into Salt Lake City, settlers appropriated rivers, streams, and springs. They fenced off productive land and used up raw materials such as pine-nut bearing trees. This caused no immediate conflict, but upon discovering their loss, members of the local Ute tribe demanded access to their resources and, when denied, simply did what they had long done and took what had been theirs.
As the Mormon population grew, tensions escalated. Infertile soil and a lack of water made it impossible to quickly create dense, sedentary settlements, so Young sent newcomers farther from Salt Lake City. Unwilling to change plans, he advised against provoking the Native Americans, but soon allowed ruthless punishment of any Indian caught stealing or harming a settler or his property.
In a short time, church leaders authorized attacking American Indians who refused to give up their resources without a fight. Church leaders argued that Native Americans who resisted were actually rejecting Christ’s message and, by refusing, justified retribution.”*

Cannibalism Day, to celebrate the practices of many “noble” savages.
See Jihad Watch today. Columbus’ trip was because m*slims blocked the route, and civilized people needed a safe route to India.
Next will be Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays.
But don’t mention MLK Jr’s birthday as that would be racist.
Columbus Day is gone only if you want it gone. For me it is and will remain Columbus Day. NOBODY can change it in MY mind. Saying the new name is about the same as voting Democrat.
Every person that speaks SPANISH while complaining about Columbus doesn’t understand irony.
But, killing progressive heroes and possibly the most progressive nation in human history is what the new Progressives are all about.
“WANTED FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF A CULTURE”
Isn’t that what the left is trying to do to OUR Western, American, Christian, Culture?
