Obama's Disgusting Columbus Day Proclamation
RUSH: Obama wasn't through, by the way, when he starts blaming Fox News and conservative media for people thinking he's scary. "In his proclamation for Columbus Day, President Obama said Friday that European explorers to the New World ushered 'previously unseen disease, devastation, and violence' into the lives of Native Americans. Obama acknowledged that Columbus 'inspired many and allowed for generations of Italians to follow,' and referred to the explorer as an 'ambitious navigator' with an 'insatiable thirst for exploration that continues to drive us as a people.'
"He continued: 'Though these early travels expanded the realm of European exploration, to many they also marked a time that forever changed the world for the indigenous peoples of North America. Previously unseen disease, devastation, and violence were introduced to their lives -- and as we pay tribute to the ways in which Columbus pursued ambitious goals -- we also recognize the suffering inflicted upon Native Americans and we recommit to strengthening tribal sovereignty and maintaining our strong ties.'"
Doesn't Obama preach strengthening tribal sovereignty all the time, when in fact what we need is for people to assimilate rather than engage in tribal sovereignty? But, anyway, look at what Obama does here. He praises Columbus as an explorer and as an adventurer, but the results of Columbus's arrival here are all negative. There isn't one positive. Columbus ushered in the western Europeans, ushered in disease, devastation, and violence. You can't find a positive aspect of western Europeans arriving on this continent in Barack Obama's words or in his mind at all. And it only became the biggest, greatest, best country in the history of humanity.
But how does he see it? Disease, devastation, violence. And that's what's being taught in public school today, folks, and that's why, that is exactly why I'm writing these children's books. The fourth one we just announced, Rush Revere and the Star-Spangled Banner. It's in pre-order now and goes on sale on October 27th.
