There is not a statue on the face of this earth free of sin other than Jesus and his mother Mary! Like Mary Magdalene identified as “ “The Sinner“ was forgiven ‘ Who are we to judge! We are all sinners! The Day has come! If we believe in Worshiping our God, cherish our family and love our country and all that they stand for, we are screwed! The politicians have no back bone and throw all the voting, hard working citizens under the bus for a few radicals because if they stand by us and what we believe in They will be criticized and lose their power in office! God help and save us all

Columbus never stepped a foot on USA. Bunch of ignorant selfish cry-babies!

Everyone should try to read the commentary in the 7/16 edition of the Post Standard written by Mary Grabar, who holds a doctorate, and wrote a book "Debunking Howard Zinn". Apparently Mr. Zinn is quoted frequently from his book "A People's History of the United States". Ms. Grabar discovered many untruths attributed to Columbus, and that his book is "rife with misrepresentation of sources, deceptive quotations, and plagiarism." Please take the time to read this. You'll understand why we, as Italian-Americans, want to keep this monument. It is our heritage!

History is a valuable teaching tool, good or bad. If you ignore it it’s bound to be repeated. The results could be far worse the the original.
