    With the confederates one has to acknowledge that they were fighting for more than just slavery....the civil war is nuanced. Which is why i support an individual towns desire to do with a civil war statue dafuq they please. Keep it or get rid of it its none of our business. 

    Columbus tho was a sociopath who smashed babies over rocks of parents who refused to work in his gold mines. He sent 9 ye old giirls back to spain to be sex slaves. I could go on but a quick google of his atrocities is enough to question ur childhood

      Columbus gathered up the jews being kicked out of Spain by the "catholics" in order to bring them to the new world 

      http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/columbus-sets-sail-judaic-treasures

      and many biblical scholars point to this as one of the reasons this nation was blessed by God  

      becoming a refuge for those who were mistreated....

      I know you are a Christian so I will post this to you knowing others will not understand. I have always believed the best way to be blessed is to treat Jewish people well and the bible says exactly that in Genesis 12:3. God says He will bless those who bless His people and on the other hand curse those who curse His people. The best way for our nation to be blessed is to support Israel.

        Of course the Vikings butchered raped and enslaved the people they conquered, the American Indians butchered raped and enslaved not only white captjves but members of other tribes. The Union Army committed unspeakable atrocities under the stewardship of Honest Abe Russian soldiers in World War II Turks Mongols Greeks Romans, the list really does go on forever. And at the end of the day to those of you who want to whitewash this history and remove it from the history books and the town squares all over the world, well I just think you're idiots. And I don't think you care. I think you just want to be assholes and piss somebody off.

        "Those were the days my friend
        We thought they'd never end
        We'd sing and dance forever and a day
        We'd live the life we choose
        We'd fight and never lose
        For we were young and sure to have our way."

        In South America Columbus' name is Colon, so technically he isn't an asshole, but relatively close😛

          I'm curious as to what history of Columbus' has been whitewashed?  Again, he didn't discover America and he was insanely barbaric.       I'm focused on the singular topic here.

              Sure. Whitewashed means eliminating whatever little piece of History we had from the books so we can be completely politically correct. But keep in mind if the Vikings actually discovered America they have their own list of misdeeds which we must certainly Purge from the books correct? I suppose  it would be righteous to change the name of our state capital, correct? If not why? I'm just asking if any of these Union Generals or their leader who in effect ordered the butchery (or war crimes as we would call them had they not been Victorious) the Indians who were barbaric etc etc should have all their memorials removed? Maybe change the names of rivers cities and states named after the natives? Or just the ones that offend your own particular favorite voting blocs?

                I have no voting block.  Your misattempts to label as such are... Cal-esque.  Further you slip.  I even noticed you started picking up the 'knee jerk' phrase.  So I ask again because you pose questions not related to mine.   Why do we celebrate a man with literally no ties to the entirety of North America?    

                I'm also well aware of war crimes and autraucties committed from those on differing sides of war, conquest and defense.  I make no excuse for it but every known country in the world has been shaped by said conquest.   Columbus, whether for good or bad, has no historical impact on America.    

                As for renaming our capital - fair point.  I'm not certain how that could or would be handled.  However monuments honoring the man?    I don't care if they stand but I'm not going to complain if they fall either.

                      "During the wars with the Indians, many European settlers were taken prisoner and held within Indian tribes. After a while, they had plenty of chances to escape and return, and yet they did not. In fact, when they were “rescued,” they fled and hid from their rescuers."

                      feeling less ignorant and uninformed steve?

                        Hey dumbass nobody is eliminating anybody from any books, they're removing honorrific tributes to men who were demonstrable monsters. What does a man have to do to not get honored by smerican society? Cause chopping peoples hands off and butchering their children because they refused to mine gold for you, gets you a statue and a fucking holiday nsmed after you. God ur a real scumbag steve

I have always believed the best way to be blessed is to treat Jewish people well and the bible says exactly that in Genesis 12:3. God says He will bless those who bless His people and on the other hand curse those who curse His people. The best way for our nation to be blessed is to support Israel.

                                  I have no voting block.  Your misattempts to label as such are... Cal-esque.  Further you slip.  I even noticed you started picking up the 'knee jerk' phrase.  So I ask again because you pose questions not related to mine.   Why do we celebrate a man with literally no ties to the entirety of North America?    

                                  I'm also well aware of war crimes and autraucties committed from those on differing sides of war, conquest and defense.  I make no excuse for it but every known country in the world has been shaped by said conquest.   Columbus, whether for good or bad, has no historical impact on America.    

                                  As for renaming our capital - fair point.  I'm not certain how that could or would be handled.  However monuments honoring the man?    I don't care if they stand but I'm not going to complain if they fall either.

                                    They are "literally" compelled to quantify anyone that opposes their narrow secular beleifs as their dianeyric opposite on the political spectrum. Their infantile minds cannot process vomplex nuances such as people who simultaneously hold left and right views, ie normal people

                                      Not familiar with the book but I will look it up. I was praying one time though (when Bush was president) and wondering why things were going so bad for Bush and his pushing Israel to give up land for peace was the answer I got.  I was disappointed Trump didn't follow through with his campaign promise of moving our embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

                                        That seems awfully convenient. I bet I would write it that way too if I started a cult and wanted people to kiss my peoples' ass for eternity.

                                          It is also convenient history has born this out. Those who have tried to stamp out this small group of people have come and gone but the Jewish people remain. Hitler did inflict major pain on the Jews in Germany but in the end his 1000 year Reich lasted but a few years and ended in ruin and disaster for him. Also out of that pain inflicted on the Jews came the birth of the nation of Israel.

                                          The Essay

                                          "If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvellous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?" (God OBF)
