Ah yes, another Columbus Day is upon us, which always means looking forward to plenty of kneejerk anger.
Today is that wonderful day when we get to read complete distortions of history about Christopher Columbus from the left. Oh joy.

Columbus was on his search for gold, made a wrong turn, found land, and wiped out an entire indigenous people. Merica. Happy Columbus Day!

I suggest to all who would like to know the true history of Columbus, to read his diaries & letters. Straight up true history. No spin.

Last but not least, people are free to say what they want about Columbus Day, but at least the holiday can inspire folks to put their differences aside and reach across the aisle:
