Just as the Fourth of July is an important day to celebrate the birth of the greatest nation in the history of the world, Columbus Day celebrates the lifting of this hemisphere out of Stone Age barbarism by the spread of Western Civilization.

Free speech is for liberals only. That is why they yell and scream and charge conservatives when they try to exercise their constitutional right to free speech.

I'm not sure if most Native Americans are liberal or not. Hard to generalize. However in this particular instance the M.O. is very liberal like.
I'm curious who would've "discovered" America if it hadn't been Columbus? Do you think things would've turned out any different had it been someone else? I doubt it.
The native population of North America before Columbus were no strangers to violence and slavery. There was plenty of territorial squabbling going on between the different "tribes". So I don't think it accurate to imply that the Europeans brought violence to the peace loving inhabitants. I'm sure it was no help from a Native American standpoint, but I fear it was inevitable non-the-less. It's a fallacy to inject modern sensibilities into an historic event. That was then. It would certainly be different if it were taking place today. Societies learn and grow.
Sorry-I got off track.

Acutely, I believe that they where a majority of Native Americans who protested. Native Americans have protested Columbus day, They protest the unfair treatment of the white man. They where moved from there homes, forced to live in shacks and eat government cheese etc,,etc,ect... To them,Columbus day is a sad day ,A day of morning there ancestors, that where killed off by the white man. a few liberals w/ guilty conscientious joined them. A throw back to the Hippie days of yesteryear.

Maybe its the genocide of 2 million indigenous inhabitants that followed as a consequence. Shortly after Columbus arrived the Carribes and the Arawaks became shortly extinct due to imposed slavery and diseases. I am not so sure Columbus was a good thing ... but if you want to have an Columbus day parade...go for it.

More so than anyone else, Liberals do. I'd like to know why you hate liberals to the point you must make up lies, there was nothing in that article that identified those arrested as being liberal. It must be tough being a bushtard and have to resort to bottom feeding. Looks like you hate native Americans as well.

Don't accuse liberals. They wouldn't do such a thing. But dating back to the mid-sixties, there's been an active radical left that likes to style itself as liberal, although they're far from it.

It boggles my mind to see such divisive comments expressed as factual news. It seems that each person is in a race to see who can say the worst thing. Neither the right nor the left are as bad as you people are trying to make them. It makes me wonder who is "running" each one of you.

I thought it was the Native American activists who pulled that one off. Seems lately that everyone has an axe to grind.

Oh, they respect the right to assemble, with two caveats: the first is that you agree with their viewpoint. The second is that you conveniently forget the "peaceably" bit.

Liberals dont like what what USA stands for all they like to do is get mad because they don't have the answers. They fear the truth they don't like our constitution if they had thier way they would do away with the second amendment and throw the people that don't agree with their agenda in prison. We need to fight for this country more than ever before but I fear we will loose the battle in the near future because their are to many Americans who are watching by not doing anything about it.

Anything that has to do with the Foundation of this country which is giving 'God' and our Lord Jesus Christ due respect, Liberals will do anything to stop it, because they know that God's people are a "threat" to their agenda of hate and evil.
People need to wake up and realize what Liberals are doing and are trying to do, to this great Nation of ours before it's too late.
God's people need to take a stand and fight back!!!
God help America!!!
