Jamestown: Celebrate, Don't "Commemorate"
The disease known as moonbattery has so twisted us against ourselves that we can no longer look back on our own proud history without neurotic shame. Alternative festivities have had to be planned to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown settlement this year, because official events will portray the spread of Western Civilization to North America as a tragedy.
The word "celebration" has been banned from use in taxpayer-funded Jamestown 2007 events in favor of the term "commemoration." After all, as anti-Caucasian activist Mary Wade screeches, "You can't celebrate an invasion."
Exhibition galleries will glorify the Stone Age barbarians who preceded the colonists to Virginia, characterizing them as avatars of political correctness whose "advanced complex society" was "in harmony with the life that surrounds them." Actually, these saintly savages murdered 400 colonists — men, women, and children — during the Jamestown Massacre on Good Friday in 1622.
Exhibitions will also include an African queen who fought the Portuguese in what is now Angola. What this has to do with the birth of America is anyone's guess. The first African slave didn't show up in Jamestown until 1654 — and he was owned by another African.
As Chuck Norris notes, the extent to which the Jamestown settlement was a Christian mission will be forcibly downplayed. The countless benefits of the dissemination of English culture will be ignored.
Fortunately an alternative event called The Jamestown Quadricentennial: A Celebration of America's Providential History will be taking place in the Jamestown/Williamsburg/Yorktown triangle on June 11–16. If we let moonbats take our history, it will be all the easier for them to take our future.

On a tip from Chris.

Well, in all fairness, the first few years at the colony at Jamestown weren't the brightest in our nation's history. The only real goal of the people who initially settled Jamestown was to find gold. They claimed they wanted to spread the Gospel to the Indians, but the crew on the original voyage included only one preacher, who wasn't even allowed to evangelize very much. Not trying to offend anyone or anything like that, I just think a lot more celebration should happen over the anniversary of the founding of the Plymouth settlement, that colony produced a lot more stuff worth celebrating (Though I've sure a bunch of loony liberals would protest THAT, too).

Plymouth, SPIT!!!
If it wasn't for the good people of Virginia, the doofuses (doofi?) of the Plymouth collany would have STARVED after the first year!
And after what they did to us in the south after the United States was formed (Threatened to secceed six times, once durring the War Of 1812, for just ONE example) we would have gotten along a lot better WITHOUT you!

Adam: "Brightness" has nothing to do with it, I'm afraid. It's a fack, Jack: In 1607 the English first established a viable settlement in what would later become Virginia (not counting Sir Walter Raleigh's failed expedition of a few years earlier, whose colonists were apparently absorbed into the local Indian tribes, disappearing forever). Thirteen years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock (and even they were aiming to settle much further south than horribly cold Massachusetts!), Jamestowne, for all its difficulties and its imperfections, became the "cornerstone," if you will, for the United States of America.
The fact that the cowards in modern-day Virginia will merely "commemorate" that founding, rather than celebrate it, as it deserves, shows how far down the road of moronic correctness these emasculated so-called "leaders" have come.
By all means, celebrate as well the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's arrival in 2020 -- I hope I'm here to see it! By that time, however, I fear that the liberal idiocracy now running that state will have completely, and intentionally, forgotten that equally momentous occasion, since it's barely taught anymore in our schools, other than as an object lesson on how the white man has raped the Earth and destroyed the indigenous populations living in "total harmony" with nature (What a farce!).
Funny how they never talk about the constant internecine fighting between the many Native American tribes throughout their history, inadequately described by the words "vicious," "murderous" and "bloody in the extreme," not to mention the natives' proclivity to attack, butcher, enslave and generally run amok, just like some of the equally human European colonists in America, in their relationships over the years with those same colonists.
So, people of Virginia, enjoy your Quadricentennial Commemoration this June -- just be damn sure you don't actually "celebrate," lest you bring the P.C. Stalinists running your state, most of the rest of those on the Eastern Seaboard and without a doubt all of those on the Left Coast, knocking down your door to take you away to a re-education camp.

You want a celebration instead of a commemoration, just wait 15 years until they celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Massacre. Lefties will be dancing in the streets for that.

You did an excellent job Van Helsing-thank you for bringing this to your audience, despite that half of the posters were lefty nutjobs. I almost didn't catch this, I thought you would take a few days to post it, but you didn't take nearly that long. This is craziness, and as a person born in Virginia, I am infuriated by this garbage.
