We decided to publish this post a bit early than usual because there  is a movement underway do undermined the Present Holiday of Columbus day and replace it with an American Indian or Latin American Holiday in it’s place.This issue has a now morphed into battle cry 

 We will ask every Politician today….Doesn’t the feelings and sensitivity of all those American’s of European extraction count anymore 

Every one who immigrated to the U.S.A. knew about this Holiday before they came to settle here..This is the American Standard.Columbus day will stay.

Columbus discovered the New World.The Turks had just taken over Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul..They also blocked the trade route making  spices unavailable..He had intended originally to find an alternative route bypassing  the  then Turkish blockcade.We that are from European background honor Columbus for opening up the “New World “for us.

 1.It  remains a great source of pride for Italian American’s  for thier contribution to  America with Parades & Street Festivals that take all place on Columbus day as well as for all American’s going back hundreds of  years .Yes all American’s would honor  Christopher Columbus on his day of birth.

2.Jews also honor Columbus as one of thier own.It is widely believed that his name in Spain was Christopher Colon..He is believed that he was a Marrano (Slang fort the new convero’s )  a name derived from  pork used to describe those who would litterly eat pork in the streets to sort of prove that they are no longer a follower of thier old Jewish faith.Columbus hailed from Geneva a city that at that time frame was well known for the settling  of Sephardic Jews escaping the Spanish Inquistion.Columbus is said to have spoken very good Castillion Spanish but  did not speak well Italian..the debate on this continues to this day.. However We will say this loud and clear..We want Columbus Day to Stay!
