What would Columbus Day be like without denunciations of white people?

People my age already know because the racist attacks on Americans by the left did not become common until after the Vietnam War, by which time far too many people had read and taken to heart Howard Zinn.

People born after that war may find out today, since the left wing noise machine is as fixated as the right on the current Republican effort to extort important policy changes they cannot otherwise obtain by threatening to wreck the American government and the American economy.

At every previous such episode the Democrats have succumbed to pressure from frightened people and their enemies, and given in.

Doesn’t look like it’s going that way, this time.

Given the Republican demands would all do harm to me, my wife, and my entire extended family and previous concessions were contrary to our interests, it would be nice to see the Democrats show some guts.
