Columbus - Genocidal Genoan
Democrat Ameya Pawar says that if elected Illinois governor, he would work to have Illinois rename Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day.
Balbo - Gotta Go!
When a reporter demanded to know where the mayor stands on the monument given to Chicago by fascist Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, Emanuel got visibly annoyed and started to lose his cool.
“You don’t have to ask me what my position is on fascism. Thank you. I’m against fascism. Take a chill pill, will you?” the mayor said.
Why do Progressives need to insult Italian Americans at every turn? They discovered the Land of the Free and Home of Brave. Italian Americans fought in every American conflict for freedom from the Revolution to today's war on Islamist Terror. Thomas Jefferson formed the United States Marine Corps Band, "The President's Own," around fourteen Italian musicians. Italian Americans, like Brigadier General Luigi Palma Di Cesnola, Medal of Honor recipient, helped end slavery.
Enrico Fermi, Henry Mancini, Joe Di Maggio, Mother Cabrini, Frank Capra and the brilliant Camille Paglia have all added to American culture and its benefit to mankind.
In World War I, 400,000 Italian Americans went to war under our flag, though they made up only 4% of the national population and 10% of AEF casualties were Italian Americans. They came home to Palmer Raids sparked by the great Progressive Woodrow Wilson's anti-foreigner paranoia.
Today, in our goofy Progressive Politically Correct SJW Kutur Kampf which has but erased religion in public dialog, as had the secularist states of Progressive Europe in 1870's, iconoclasm, intolerance and dystopian initiatives to erase history have leaped from the Red Neck Confederacy to Italian American celebrations.
The statue to Balbo has stood on Lake Shore Drive since 1933 (seven years before WWII). Only now, with political skinks like Terry McAullife of Virginia and Alderman Ed Burke of Chicago getting into the iconoclasm business, is Balbo's column an existential crisis. Progressives always seem to be the most energetic when public scrutiny turns their way.
Columbus Day has long been a Progressive whipping boy - He was not the first to sail the Ocean Blue, He was a Nasty Viceroy, he hated indigenous peoples, or so some Howard Zinn contrarians decided Columbus to be.
Balbo is only the latest Progressive assault on Italian Americans, since Jane Addams erased Mother Cabrini.
Italo Balbo was an Italian aviator who flew an armada of seaplanes from Italy to Chicago. No mean feat that, in 1927. However, Balbo's exploit helped make Mussolini Il Duce, or so say the Atticus Finch crowd.
Losers lose history. The Rebs and the Fascists are losers. However, lost in all the fog created by the hot breath from the moral high ground is the fact that AntiFA activists support HAMAS and Hamas is a child of Hitler's favorite Muslim - Grand Mufti.
The United Nations, long the darling of tinpot dictators and psychopaths issued this dire warning on American racism, “We are alarmed by the racist demonstrations, with overtly racist slogans, chants and salutes by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan, promoting white supremacy and inciting racial discrimination and hatred,” said Anastasia Crickley, chair of the committee.
Irish UN harpy Anastasia Crickly forgets that the IRA was armed and aided by Admiral Canaris all through WWII and that the IRA founder of Amnesty International was a Nazi collaborator.
No one is taking down any Shamrocks.
Italian Americans get it good an hard from the hypocrites and weasels, but Italian Americans are better people people than those who insult them
History proves that.
