O’Reilly was a history teacher before his careers in journalism, TV and co-authoring.
“Yes, some native tribes were enlightened societies but many were not.”
Where were these libertarian utopias and why have I not heard of them?
No matter his pedigree it’s just cool and the “in” thing to bash people. I dunno maybe for some it’s to make them feel good about themselves
Including, among indigenous peoples.
So was human sacrifice. Again, no excuse for people who were nominally Christian, but again, it was a brutal world they lived in. They had just finished a 700 year war against the muslims and were pretty rough around the edges themselves.
Over time she devolved into vapid radical lesbian.
All because Dobie wouldn’t date her.
There’s a lesson there somewhere.
Humans migrate for many reasons. The “indigenous” people in America migrated. When two groups of people run into each other, many times the inferior culture disappears or is absorbed into the superior one.
The Europeans were superior in technology, science, weaponry, social organization, organized religion, laws, governments, building, medicine, transportation and so on. The people who were here were overrun, as the europeans population increased and needed more space and resources. Wars were fought and land settled and the people with seniority lost out. Those are the facts of life.
This anti-columbus movement is anchored by leftists and Mexicans in the US who forget they have Spanish blood in them.
Columbus was brave and a great explorer. As a person of European descent, I am thankful he came here. I know his voyages lead to the greatest nation in the history of the word. That’s why I celebrate Columbus day. If you want a day get your own.
He was, I presume, also still a self-obsessed jerk.
thanks, but I won’t be reading anything from that pompous blowhard as long as there is anything else on earth left to read.
The liberal progressive narrative is that the indigenous peoples of America were fun loving peaceful people. Far from it they were warring against each other and committing atrocities in their own right
Seems to me I read somewhere 0’Pinhead has a degree in history...no wonder he doesn’t know $h!t ‘bout history!
ALL Indoctrination/No history!
Real Education is self-education, NOT edu.

Political correctness? No, no. Political destruction!
True, for both sides. I sometimes ask people to think about the cliff dwellings:
People did NOT live in these because of the high price of land, nor for the views. They scrambled up cliffs and built dwellings because they were SCARED - and the folks they were afraid of were NOT Europeans!
Even then, the Zelda character as an a**!
And many "indigenous peoples" took SLAVES.
A few tribes in North America were peaceable. Iirc from my grade-school history, the Mandans of the Dakota region were one of the less war-like groups.
But for the most part, yes, the "indigenous peoples" of North America committed terrible atrocities against each other. And they did so long before Columbus set foot in the Western Hemisphere.
After Europeans began to settle here as farmers, many "indigenous peoples" also committed horrible atrocities against them. Eventually this became a two-way street.
“The legacy of America is in big trouble”.
They want to erase as much of America as they can so that in the future there will be nothing to compare their hell hole with. People will not know what they lost.
Its so islamic to weaken and remove the history of the victim. It aids the destruction and helps insure the victory.
Every American institution is under assault today.
Actually, we can look across the ocean and see the same march going on.
THEY fully anticipated a Hillary win as evidenced in the dovetailing of other events.
Yes, some native tribes were enlightened societies but many were not. After inter-indigenous battles, torture and enslavement were often on the menu for the losers.
...
Everybody is an immigrant in the Americas. The only indigenous humans are in Africa.
BOR had a platform to discuss the societal problems we face - what happened to his TV show?
