Leftists, who have renamed Columbus Day “Indigenous Peoples’ Day”, are not fit to criticize Christopher Columbus.
Columbus Day. Say it over and over — and agitate a leftist. Leftists are inherently fragile. Why? Because their entire “ideology” is actually psychopathology, resting on intellectual quicksand. Psychopathology is, by definition, unstable.
Columbus was a hero. He was an achiever. If it hadn’t been for him (or someone like him, and they come along very rarely), then life as we know it would not exist. There would have been no United States of America. There would have been no discovery of individual rights. There would have been no Industrial Revolution, and there would have been no Information Revolution, because the system of capitalism most embodied by America was required for life to move beyond the horse-and-buggy and outhouse era.
You are NOT entitled to disagree with me — UNLESS you’re prepared to renounce (in practice) all the creature comforts of modern life that Columbus set into motion. Columbus was the first American innovator and achiever. In many ways, his courage and achievement made all the others that followed possible.
You like your smart phone? Your computer? Your Internet? Your automobile, video games, cheap clothing — even your electric car, if you’re a super rich leftist who can afford one? Then thank Columbus. Because without his kind, there’s no America. And if there’s no America, you’re living like your ancestors did (or worse).
You leftists out there who condemn Columbus: You’re not nearly so quick to condemn the fruits of a free, rational and productive society which require some individuals (only a few are needed) to take risks.
Columbus didn’t take risks so you idiots out there didn’t have to take risks. He took a gigantic risk because he was that kind of man.
You snowflakes are not fit to criticize him.
