Americans ought to be ashamed that today is a National Holiday dedicated to Christopher Columbus.

Columbus Day has it’s origins in the archaic and discredited myth that Christopher Columbus was a brave explorer who “discovered” America and initiated widespread contact between Europeans and Native Americans. The fact that Columbus Day is still a national holiday suggests that we, as Americans, are collectively ignorant about certain facts:

1) Christopher Columbus never actually set foot in America. His four voyages took him around present-day Cuba, Haiti/Dominican Republic, and miscellaneous Caribbean and South American countries.

2) If it is possible to discover an inhabited place, then Christopher Columbus “discovered America” 500 years after the Viking Leif Ericson.

And this is the overlooked fact that should (but evidently doesn’t) cause us National Embarrassment:

3) Christopher Columbus Tortured, Murdered, Kidnapped, Enslaved, and attempted to forcibly convert thousands of natives, many of whom died from exhaustion, disease, or starvation.

So what are we really celebrating on Columbus Day? What we’re celebrating is an unnecessary excuse for the Government and the Economic Sector to have a 3-day weekend.

Yes, you read that correctly… against INNOCENT… MUSLIM… CHILDREN.

According to an article in Ohio’s Dayton Daily News, a Mosque was the target of a non-lethal poison gas attack during that took place during a evening prayer services. This gas was sprayed into the room where the babies and children were being kept while their mothers were praying, according to one eyewitness account available at Dailykos.com. No suspects have been arrested and Dayton Police are declining to comment because of an ongoing investigation.

This chemical attack comes at the same time as the The Clarion Fund and has been has been using the mail and paying newspapers to distribute DVDs of Obsession, a fear-mongering, anti-muslim “documentary” to voters in swing states. The Clarion Fund, as reported by NPR, is a New York-based 501(c)(3) charity of dubious financing that has strong ties to Radical Zionism.

It is interesting to point out that one of the dvd’s promoters is Joe Wierzbicki, an active member of two anti-Obama Public Action Committee.
