Columbus was a great man and Christian hero whose reputation and legacy, like so many great Christian men of ages past, was intentionally and unjustly tarnished by lesser men with wicked agendas and a lot of shiny academic credentials. This particular instance of character assassination was carried out by so-called historians like Howard Zinn.

Imperfect though he was, Columbus represents Western civilization itself, which is to say, Christendom and all that was built upon its foundations. He represents the desire that faithful European Christians had to spread the Gospel to news lands and peoples.

And he represents America as an indespensible part of our existence and heritage.

He is worthy of our honor and our remembrance.

I haven't respected him enough

👏👏👏

thank you.

They tore down the Columbus statue in Chicago because he's everything the commies resent.

Really pitting my preconceived notions against me right now, though I could tell off the rip that Zinn was a commie. Never heard of Columbus handing out small pox blankets tho, and it was the conquistadors who were slaughtering people for gold so you could be right.

Zinn would Frankenstein selections of Columbus' journal entries together to make up quotes and remove all original context. Made Columbus sound like a monster. Classic Commie behavior.

Something I didnt mention is that Columbus was partly motivated to find another trade route to India because the Otomons had taken Constantinople and began controlling key trade routes. He wanted to find ways of funding a new crusade to take back the Holy Land.

Super based.

🤔 I knew something was fishy about the way he flip flops back and forth for each instance instead of just laying out a coherent timeline. Trying to map it out is chaos. Indeed, sounds like what the new york times does today.

People want to disrespect Columbus, yet enjoy the fruits of America.

Yes, like the leftists and commies that tear down his statues.

Same logic as pro choicers.
