Bonnie and Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Welcome to the e I B Network. Great to have you, sir. Hello, ma'am, ma'am, I'm sorry, that's okay, chum. Today is Columbus Day, and I would like you to talk about Christopher Columbus. Well, I have a stack of Christopher Columbus stuff here. Great. Great, it's not what you're gonna want to hear. Maybe. I think he was a great courageous visionary. I think he's a great role model for today's youth. He was an entrepreneur.
He if he didn't come here, if he didn't bump into America, who knows how the world would be different, but it would definitely be different. I know we wouldn't have cigars, that's right, we wouldn't have all this great food. We wouldn't have freedom because he really laid the foundation for that here. And I'm so frustrated when I hear that he all the only the bad things about him and all the guard which that's being taught in the
schools about him. Um. And so I'd like to ask everybody to put their flag out today and maybe make a good, good dinner for their family and celebrate Columbus Day. All right, you bet, I'm glad. I'm glad you called. From the Rasmussen Reports web page, twenty four percent of Americans believe we should not honor Columbus with a national holiday. This is the result of government and multicultural education winning
from Let's say, where's this? From the Washington Post Voice Rendsburger November one, went back to the archives, So this is uh what seventeen man, oh man, that's seventeen years ago. The chief rival position, called the Columbian theory, argues that there was no syphilis in Europe till Columbus took it there. Advocates of this view agree that what had been called been called leprosy was a mixture of true leprosy with other sexually transmitted diseases, but that none of them was syphilis.
More likely, they argue, the other disease was gonna rhea, which my health teacher in junior high pronounced gungaria. Question, did Columbus give the world syphilis? And they've been debating this, you know, this is part of the multicultural curriculum. Now that that Columbus introduced racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, environmental destruction, syphilis and horses, which brought their own problems, and so they had actually been debating this did Columbus give the
world syphilis? In the year fifteen dred. Not long after Christopher Columbus and his crews began returning from their voyages to the New World, in epidemic epidemic of syphilis erupted in Europe. Shortly thereafter, more epidemics flared and swept across the continent, raging with much the same impact as AIDS
does today. And remember this when this story is from so the theory there is that Columbus caught syphilis from the Indians or whoever it was he interacted with down there, and he and his crew uh took it back to
Europe with him. UH. And there are countless stories in the stack today about what teachers are teaching kids about Columbus, and it's basically the the multicultural curriculum, that he was racist, a sexist, and bigoted and homophobic and brought all of those things to this country, uh, this the New World,
on his uh, on his voyage. This is this is why I say, you know a lot of your kids are in school listening to the traditions and institutions that make this country great get trashed each and every day, and it's now gotten to the point that think we should not honor or have a Christopher Columbus Day.
