Perhaps lefties can pry open their imaginations and imagine what it would have been like, if it had not been European (Spanish first, then Dutch, English, french and so on, no wait, Erikson was first) and was others, instead, to be the first to colonise the western hemisphere, instead.

Let’s look at the other “powers” who couldn’t but would’ve, if they could’ve, shall we?

Islam- already in deep decline by 1492, but they would’ve slaughtered everyone in their path, as they are wont to do. In fact, because they lost to the Polish army in Vienna, the pathetic, beaten, hulk fixed its sights on India, where they thought resistance was less of a risk. And guess what? They slaughtered and destroyed everything in their path there. Do a google search of Islam 1499-1750 and behold the carnage there in Asia.

Russia- Peter the Great said that if he could conquer all the way to the Persian Gulf for russia, he would then rule the world. He didn’t succeed, and soviet union was keenly aware of Peter’s strategy, russian republic of today (such as it is) is too. Look at history of Eastern Europe under Soviet rule, Romania, Moldova, Yugoslavia, etc. Bloody fripping repression.

China- Colonized most of Asia, but were starting to decline by this point. They measured their influence culturally, and could not enforce it militarily after a while. Chinese, with their frugal, hard working ethic, were and are to this day resented in places such as Indonesia, Malaysia. When Geithner crashed the Indonesian and Malay economy in 1997, much anger and resentment toward ‘ethnic chinese’ there spilled over into outright violence against ethnic chinese there, based on centuries of ‘ethnic’ chinese presence there.

So, who’s left?

Japan, Japan unified in 1700′s, but would have to wait until 20th century to begin their reign of terror, after their defeat by U.S., Soviet Union would try to annex what Japan controlled in Manchuria, and were driven out.

No nation or empire was able to do what they wanted to do in 1492, except disparate and competing nations such as Holland, Spain, etc in 1492.

That competing nations in Europe held no single monopoly on colonisation in 1500′s: they fought for influence in the Americas. If there was such a thing as a ‘Europe’, beyond the geographical designations, then they were poised to expand based on the progress they had made specifically for having fought expansionist, Imperial Islam for centuries, and defeated them decisively the very year Columbus set sail.

I’ll take European progress and influence over the evil empire of Islam any day, and the casual, lazy leftist, who cloaks his european, marxist ideology in a finger-pointing exercise directed at “all things” “europe” and “america” [read U.S.] conveniently omitting all things, I emphasize all things historically Islam in favour of europen marxist expansionism is just so much Ward Churchill and the Gnome Chompski. Specious, irrelevant, lazy, slacker, vapid, morose, vacuous, nihilistic, pagan, psychotic, projective, deceptive, disingenuous, propagandik, racist, totalitarian, Imperialistic excrement and dogma. Lacking any real, plausible context whatsoever.

Perpetrated by those of no imagination, who never created anything of value whatsoever. and their toadies.

There are roughly 300,000,000 millions murdered through the use of athiest totalitarian socialist regimes. Under the despotic rule of names such as Pol Pot, Whore Chi Men, Mao (70 millions murdered), Stalin (“One murder is a tragedy, 1 millions murdered in a statistic), Lenin, Hitler, Castro, Chichescu, Castro, Chavez, Chirac, Blair, Mussolini, Wilson, FDR, Mufti of Jerusalem, Saddam, Bashir Assad, Gamal Nasser, Mullah Omar, Ayatollah KKKhomeini (he is (was) 1/2 scottish and 1/2 Indian, not Persian) and so on.

Some with a bullet to the back of the head, but the vast majority worked and starved to death.

American Indian tribes murdered each other, in centuries old revenge cycles for centuries. american Indian tribes continually allied themselves with European colonists with the intent of obliterating, or at lest severely harming their (other) rival Indian tribes: Even the Apache were terrified of the Comanche: the comanche would wait until the men left the village to hunt, and kill and steal everything in the village, and then eat the bodies of those they slaughtered, women and children. Noble savages. Yeah right…

the leftist paradigm is a nihilist, cult of death, with infant sacrifice as its sacrament. No wonder they have so much in common with other, superstitious cults of murder and death, and their proclivity for specious argument, and Sophistry.

How else to put themselves in charge, in power, in “control” of that which they did nothing, nothing to earn? And by doing so, merely con the weak and blitzkrieged into guilt and surrender of those things they worked honestly to gain.

I won’t apologise for European or United states heritage in the face of psychotic, pathological liars posing as “academics” with absolutely no scholarship under their belts, other than the trojan horse propagandikkk brainwashing ruse of european atheist marxism as their contribution

And 0 is a europeed’on, marxist oreo cookie. Raised on that Sheid, by europeon ideologist Frank Davis and others his white europeon grandparents brainwashed him with. And he throws them under the bus, or evokes their war service, when convenient, as the opportunistic coward he is.

“Brown” University academics can kiss my hind, and suck up all that europeon marxist death cult nihilism, since that’s where it all originates, in the first place.
