No more Columbus reverence in Venezuela



The executive government (Chavez) acting through Fundapatrimonio this week after so much talking decided to remove the statute of Cristopher Columbus from el Calvario Plaza in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. The rationale behind the removal of Columbus was that Venezuelans could not continue to honor him. Columbus according to Chavistas did not discover the new world but came to the Americas to kill, loot, rape and plunder.
