500+ years ago.
« on: October 11, 2010, 10:55:16 AM »
500+ years ago the white man discovered the land of the red man and proceded to steal all his gold and land....now days liberals who didn't get in on the "Great Theft" seem to be complaining that  they're not getting paid time and a half for not working this holiday.

Happy Columbus Day...and when do the racist threads start at the DUmp?

Well, I would argue that Columbus discovered America. There is documented evidence that the Vikings were here in 900 AD. There is also evidence that the Welsh were here  around 1100 AD. So..... in that vein, I do NOT celebrate "Columbus Day"..... :fuelfire: :tongue:

Well, it is one of those many holidays I worked all those years I was self employed. Thanksgiving and Christmas were the only holidays I took off for sure.
