As for the 3 little pigs, it wouldn't surprise me. They already destroyed the Cat in the Hat with their stupidity.
Columbus was clearly Christian
Jews have lived in the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, belonging to Spain. These are situated to the east of Valencia, the three principal of which are named Majorca (Spanish, Mallorca), Minorca (Menorca), and Eivissa or Ibiza. The group first formed the Kingdom of Majorca; later it became a Spanish province under the domination of Aragon. According to the chroniclers, there were Jewish inhabitants in the Balearic Isles as early as the 2nd century. In the 5th century, at the instigation of Bishop Severus, a persecution of the Jews took place in Mahon (Magona), the capital of Minorca. As a result, a number of Jews, including Theodore, a rich representative Jew who stood high in the estimation of his coreligionists and of Christians alike, underwent baptism.
The mystery begins with Cristobal Colon, “love child” of Prince Carlos IV of Viana, Spain and Margarita Colon of Mallorca, Spain, born circa 1460.
Someone else, called Cristoforo Colombo, was born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy. This person was poorly educated and a dealer in wool, not a sailor much less an explorer.
Cristobal Colon (the real “Christopher Columbus”) had extensive seagoing experience. At the age of 12, the unacknowledged offspring of Prince Carlos IV, who was by then dead, had crewed for the Mediterranean pirate Rene d’Anjou. By the age of 14, Colon knew enough to be allowed to navigate. Colon sailed far, eventually to Iceland and to the African coast.
Just some info I found. Herb who knows .....
How it is used is the difference maker . If he had to change his name to avoid some type of persecution so be it. It is a shame that after all these years too many pick evil in the choice of good or evil.
To Captain a ship with 50 men , setting sail for a undetermined time to a unknown location with limited resources that is a leader. The confidence to lead has to come from ability and expirience no matter the lineage.
I enjoy reading Moby Dick, Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, the sailors knew that danger was ever present and lived with a reckless behavior.
Daring and courageous or knuckleheads and muscles or skill and fortitude all characteristics
That are necessary to sail away another day.
Many years ago I took a one day trip on a Columbus type ship. I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't survive a week. Those guys had moxie.
That boat was hardly bigger than one of Columbus's "ships."
I did catch one whole fish, though.
I offered it to the fish butcher on the Panama City Beach pier where the boat docked. He said it was too small.
I've eaten large bream that small but I was staying at a beach side motel room without a stove.
No matter. When the fish butcher turned his back, I tossed it onto his pile of fish and left.
Oh, I have sinned! Bwahaha!
Government doing its best to break the supply link. SACRED COD

Anyway, that other character with a father is Polyps, son of Colon.
Shalom, Herb

And promptly bumped into Santa Domingo."
that gun control was part of the story.
The greater the indebtedness of the Christians to the Jews, the more inimical became their attitude. As a result of this state of affairs, the governor of the islands forbade (1390) all Jews to carry weapons, even in their own quarter, or to leave their homes two hours after sunset without carrying a light. After the outbreaks in Valencia and Barcelona (1391), the governor had to interfere for the safety of the Jews' quarter in Palma de Mallorca. On August 24, 1391, the long-dreaded calamity fell upon the community of Majorca. Jewish homes were sacked; and even the houses of Christians sheltering Jews in concealment were not spared. About 300 Jews were put to death, 800 saved themselves in the royal castle, and the rest underwent baptism. When Queen Violante was informed of the outrage, she condemned the inhabitants of the islands to pay a fine of 150,000 florins (or, according to some authorities, 104,000 florins). A year later (1392), however, Juan I granted full amnesty to all who had practised violence against the Jews or "the Calle," because they had done it for the welfare of king and state; and he further declared all debts of the Christians to the Jews to be null and void.

What I find appalling is that the left wants to erase history. I do believe they dream of a socialist society in the future which no one knows anything about our Founding Fathers and the U.S. Constitution.
Me dino with my one vote views the future to be the luck found in the toss of a coin.
Libs are trying to turn that into a heads I win tails you lose kinda thing.
Unfortunately, self-serving professional politicians are not patriots.
It's hard to find even one good man in a swamp.
Mewthinks swamps drown those kinda guys.
Age 30 Lib Guy Vandalizing Columbus Statue Gets Chased.
Arrested When He Falls Off Bicycle! LOL!

Me dino took the letters back inside.
I do not agree with vandalizing monuments and trying to erase history to advance the lib cause, but that's about all Columbus Day means to me.
The mail does not run.
And why, would anyone blame anyone for unknowingly bringing new diseases to a new land when no one in those times had any clue about such things.
Columbus made friends with indigenous people where ever he went...but we can't say the same for the spanish crews on those ships. Columbus dealt with Them harshly.
Will be learning more in the future and will provide links as I learn.
My son said he read that Columbus punished slow-working Indians by having their hands chopped off.
What am I doing? I'll look it up myself.
Ta ta! This article is really bad~
http://www.phillymag.com/news/2012/10...
Here we go again with the liberal's refusal to accept the authority of the original author.
The spanish crews were vial creatures, much to the horror of of Italian Columbus...I am sure he punished them...not the non flesh eating indians.
Today? It sure isn't lib thugs who want to erase history by tearing down monuments and beating up people who don't agree with them.
For those things of which the outcome is unknown, may we have the chance to change the missteps of today, tomorrow.
Always the guilt with them...as Yoda might say.
Karl Marx didn't!
Just think of him as the bernie sanders of the past.
He just did not live to see his Communist Manifesto implemented.
By the way, I do not blame you, an allosaurus, for for all carnage done by your ancestors some time ago. Predators must eat and reproduce until some space thing wipes them out. Human predators, though, can learn to mend their ways, especially with the help of conservatives and others who believe that there are never enough incarcerated persons.
Sound mystical?...not really, that too might be quantum physical. Think, reconciliation of two previously entangled local quantum particles.
Is this common knowledge?
I also don't know if everything in that article is accurate, but it is a fact that Europeans tended to look down on anyone of another color and particularly pagans back then.
The conquistadors who followed were very cruel.
None of this alters the fact that Columbus led the gutsy expedition that discovered "the Americas."
