Why Columbus Was A Great Man And Deserves To Be Celebrated

Matt Walsh

It is Columbus Day. Longtime fans of my show will know that it is a tradition on Columbus Day to talk about the holiday and why it deserves to be celebrated, despite what the leftist crybabies and historical revisionists might say. I will continue with this tradition for as long as the holiday and the man it commemorates remain under attack, which means that I will continue indefinitely.

Now, if you hear Columbus acknowledged at all today in the media or by any political or cultural figure of note, it will almost certainly be a condemnation. They will tell us, as they have been telling us for many years, that Columbus was a genocidal maniac whose arrival led to the alleged genocide of so-called “native Americans” or “indigenous people.” In the same breath, without a hint of irony, they will also decry what they describe as overly simplistic portrayals of Columbus and his voyages — hoping you don’t notice how no portrayal of Columbus is as absurdly and cartoonishly simplistic as the one you get from these very same people.
