Re: Columbus Day 2020: “The Columbian Exchange”—Columbus Did Nothing Wrong, The Geneva Convention Says So!

James Fulford's article on Columbus was excellently timed. Yesterday there was an op-ed in the Washington Post stating it was time to demolish the grand statue of Columbus located in front of Washington Union Station in DC.

The Christopher Columbus fountain is broken, @LopakaPurdy writes. So is his story. https://t.co/7nuZVemUSV

The SOBs won't be satisfied when there's nothing left of Western civilization, because after the statues, etc., are gone, they'll move up to the destruction of our very existence.

James Fulford writes: I've visited that station, and admired the Lorado Taft sculpture group. The dedication says:

TO THE MEMORY OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS WHOSE HIGH FAITH AND INDOMITABLE COURAGE GAVE TO MANKIND A NEW WORLD
BORN MCDXXXVI DIED MDIV

(1436–1504)
