Historic Jamestown 'Celebration' Banned

Charlotte, NC (TLS). The 400th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown settlement, 13 years before the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, cannot be referred to as a 'celebration' but as an 'invasion,' according to event organizer Mary Wade and the other members of the 'Jamestown 2007 Organizing Committee.'

Event organizers refer to the historic founding of the settlement as a 'holocaust.'

And that has some experts in history upset, since the advent of Jamestown provided what later became the United States with important introductions to Christian common law, a republican representative government, the first Protestant Christian worship service, and its first interracial marriage.

But, the 'pc' police, as usual, has rained on the parade of normal, uniquely American celebrations. Apparently, none of the great accomplishments listed above can be celebrated.

Is it just me, or is it fairly obvious that every single time someone in America sets out to celebrate freedom, human progress in liberty, Constitutional representative government, and the like, the politically correct crowd finds a way to crash the party and turn it into a downer...another reason to lament over our supposed 'collective guilt.'

I have a message to the Jamestown 2007 organizers--you are an embarrassment to your country and to the founders of the settlement.
