If God knows what is good for me, I should die this week, no later than next.
Otherwise, I will be an eyewitness to one of the great tragic reversals in American history.
If you have a child, are related to one, or ever were one, you may have noticed the decline and avalanche-sized fall from grace of Columbus Day.
It has not been noisy, just insidious.
Our under-occupied liberal friends, in their permanent campaign to corrupt America’s true meanings, have scored a huge victory for their side in their relentless drive to flip love for country upside down.
Columbus Day used to be a lighthouse on the calendar. Then the Left began poisoning the well.
Once dedicated, ubiquitous leftists began pouring into the academic world, they dug their bloody, bony fingernails into the history books and executed a complete rewrite of events.
Bad Boy, Bad Boy
Belatedly, we learn that Christopher Columbus was a despicable degenerate who has served as a model for tyrants in the last 517 years. By comparison, Dracula was cuddly, we are informed.
Maybe Columbus, GA, and Columbus, OH, should change their names to something more pleasant. How does Ahmadinejad, OH, strike you? Hitler, GA.
Who knew?
And so, Columbus Day, once an occasion to celebrate a distant but entirely decent hero, systematically has been diminished and delegimized.
Leftist historians cleverly, systematically have downsized Columbus Day to nothing more significant than the Peoria Plumbers Periodic Picnic for Big Plungers.
Starting with a glorious nationwide event that spawned parades, they shrank it to a sub-holiday barely meriting acknowledgement, to its current incarnation whereby Mr. Columbus’s sins have been compared to the Taliban’s.
Without having a chance to defend himself, without one syllable of fresh evidence, the discoverer of American has been transformed into a teeth-baring villain. He has been magically, gleefully turned into a trashy, despicable person with less social value in a Left-dominated world than Rush Limbaugh.
Anything Like the Dead Sea Scrolls?
You may suspect that this deceleration of a genuine hero resulted from a seminal event, such as the unearthing of material comparable to the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Not close. Nothing. Leftists just took over and said this is the way it will be.
For several decades, liberal scholarship has maintained that the remarkably ugly white man stole this land from savage Indians, the last persons without sin before our Dear Leader.
As you know, the savages, in1491,were awarded the future United States of America by Fred Nobel of Norway, patriarch of the latter-day Nobel clan that awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Swish Obama last Friday.
Turns out that the original Mr. Nobel was married to a Kenyan beauty queen. For the last 518 years, the ignoble Nobels have been looking for a latter-day Kenyan to present with their formerly prestigious hardware.
For those of us of a certain age, it seemed surreal several decades ago when liberal professors began telling my children and yours that our land had been hijacked from the savages by the immoral white man.
From there, Leftist confidence in rewriting history has snowballed.
They taught my oldest son that no honest American should sleep well at night as long as the white man remains at the helm of the United States and the latter-day savages are forced to grovel.
With liberal professors driving the bus, a pack of white man-oriented universities and professional athletic teams were forced to mollify contemporary savages by dropping any references to savages from their nicknames.
My wife at the time even forced me to remove an Indian scalp from our living room wall.
But Columbus Day is not a total relic. My wife, who works for the government, was granted a holiday for today.
Thankfully, this proves that Mr. Obama does not yet have all 10 of his icy cold fingers around our country’s neck. Y
