America’s founders mean to Indians, smoked
by Warner Todd Huston
In another sad example of self flagellation by Western elitists, the Guardian Newspaper in England published a column on how we Americans (and our English cousins) should not celebrate the founding of Jamestown, the first Virginia colony, 400 years ago because of… you guessed it… slavery.
Here we have another elitist congratulating himself that he is “informed” enough to know that slavery makes the founding of the USA a blight on humanity instead of the great event it truly is. Another leftist who cannot bring himself to be proud of anything the west has been responsible for because there were some bad things mixed in with the good. In fact, the bad things make us such hypocrites, goes this type of thinking, that all the good should be discounted. (It is always in fashion for Europeans to look down on the US, isn’t it?)In the Guardian, Historian Benjamin Woolley, is wooly headed enough to say that the Queen not being around to celebrate the doomed Virginia colony is “understandable” because of how evil the USA is.
