The #ColumbusWasAHero on Twitter has provided great entertainment all day. Trolls vs Leftists

Salon and Huffington Post have both commented on it.

I agree. I would argue even further and say that if it means the abolishing of pagan Indian devil worship and the Catholic faith being established in the Americas, eliminating the Indians who didn't convert was a good thing. Catholicism supercedes any "faith" or culture the pagan tribes ever had.

Let's be honest, if it wasn't for Columbus people would probably still be on the menu in Central America today. While the Spanish were at odds with certain tribes, contrary to what we're told today, the Indians overall thought the Spanish were the best thing to happen since sliced bread having saved them from their bloodthirsty overlords.

Also while the Spanish brought smallpox to America which killed off a great number of the indigenous population, it's not like they transmitted it intentionally like the Protestants did with their infested blankets centuries later.

Yes, he certainly was a hero. Restoration Radio has a history program with Charles Coulombe with some great info I had not heard before. Here is the link, scroll down to find the free episode (aired on 8/24/15).

Absolutely, Columbus was a hero.

Here is the best article I've ever read about the man.
