(NEWSER) – It's Columbus Day, kids, and that means it's time to honor a man "who, if he were alive today, would almost certainly be sitting on Death Row awaiting execution," writes Eric Kasum for the Huffington Post. Kasum commemorates the holiday by recounting the true tale of Christopher Columbus, who set foot on a sandy Bahamian beach in 1492 and promptly enslaved the hospitable islanders (who rescued the crew and cargo of the shipwrecked Santa Maria). Within two years, half of the 250,000-strong population was dead. Yeah, you just TRY to get those DC liberals to give up their National Paid Day Off While the Rest of Us Work to Foot the Bill.

"50,000 Native People... died within months of the establishment of the first Spanish colony on the island of Espanola." Mexicans did this and you want them in this country ?

Muhammed was a murderous, pedophile, piece of shit, but there are 1.5 billion people who worship him as a prophet now. Columbus at least got Europe to recognize North America was here. Muhammed didn't do one good thing...

Actually, Columbus taxed the natives of Hispaniola to death, imposing a tax in gold every adult had to pay or have their hands cut off. Ruinous taxes? Enslaving part of the population? Reducing the human population? ..... isn't that right out of your agenda?
