Banks can actually be open, they just can't process transactions because federal agencies are closed.

Wife's bank had in person training and mandatory volunteering (required by law cause banks are "evil" ya know).

Get with a few more of your liberal buddies and go pull down some statues.He was no worse to the natives than they were to each other.

I didn't read anything in there about tearing statues down. I read let's look at the facts of history, instead of the story of history.

Both sides have their version, and the truth is somewhere out there.

In Canada, its just another brainwashing ploy by the Indians to justify the slavery of the working class to pay $ for every aspect of their lives. They have no interest in their past culture, only to take from anyone in any way possible.

AND, He didn't "Discover" squat! The Vikings were here long since, and the native Americans were standing on the shore to say Howdy!!!!!

Surprised the gay people don’t get a federal holiday yet on top of their month they already get recognized for.

Also, they hate to hear about the killing of Indians by other Indians, the taking of their women and children as slaves or to become members of their tribes. The displacement of tribes as others killed them or moved off the lands they wanted.


True, although we should not forget that the same thing occurred in Europe centuries before Columbus. As always, the strong displace the weak to inhabit land with the best resources. Humans have done it throughout history just as have wolves, lions, deer, ect. The major difference is that certain populations created "civilization" with governments, scientific advancements, and occasionally a semblance of peace. Those scientific advancements made it possible for the spread of Europeans across North America at the expense of the NA's.

Actually, he discovered the Americas for the Europeans. Europeans were not aware of the Americas, thus he did discover it for them not for all.

There has always been Columbus Day. Just wasn't a federal holiday until somebody figured out there wasn't a federal day off in Oct, so they upped the status.

As for those that want to dis on Columbus, do they think the americas would remain undiscovered and pristine even today?

Columbus died in 1506, whoever is still bothered by him probably needs help.
