CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 12, 2022
NORMALLY – A WORD THAT HAS FALLEN OUT OF FAVOR – NORMALLY OCTOBER 12 WAS OBSERVED IN OUR SCHOOLS CULTURE AS COLUMBUS DAY, THE DAY CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DISCOVERED THE NEW WORLD IN 1492.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE WOKE CROWD HAS TURNED IT INTO “INDIGENOUS PEOPLES” DAY. THEY CLAIM THE LAND WE CALL AMERICA WAS PEACEFUL BEFORE IT WAS INVADED BY WHITE EUROPEANS. NOTICE THEY DON’T FEEL THAT WAY WHEN IT COMES TO THE INVASION BY PEOPLE FROM 41 COUNTRIES ACROSS WHAT USED TO BE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER. THEY ALSO SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT INDIANS FOUGHT EACH OTHER.
STATUES HONORING COLUMBUS HAVE BEEN REMOVED OR COVERED UP AS SPINELESS OFFICIALS BOW TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACHIEVED LITTLE OR NOTHING IN LIFE.
COLUMBUS, HIS CREW AND HIS ASSOCIATES ON THOSE OTHER TWO SHIPS TOOK RISKS. THEY PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER, ALONG WITH THEIR CARGO AND THE INVESTMENTS BY THEIR UNDERWRITERS.
IF THOSE UNDERACHIEVERS WHO WANT TO TEAR DOWN OR COVER-UP STATUES OF COLUMBUS ACHIEVE ANYTHING IN LIFE APPROACHING WHAT COLUMBUS AND THE OTHERS DID, THEN THEY MIGHT GET A HEARING. OTHERWISE THEY SHOULD KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
