Thread title corrected...

So to sum it up, mudwhistle, your definition of a liberal is some strawman invention to which you can attach any negative attributes you please. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm thankful for my family and friends and the quality of life that I was fortunate enough to have by virtue of being born into a western nation.

How many of those you listed cruise airport restrooms or harass male pages? OK, George Michael, I'll give you that one.


Yes poor persecuted American Christians. How do they survive the never ending hardship? If you're trying to be funny, you're doing a great job.

This entire thread is fucking retarded...

The term liberal is so horribly over used and misused.

It is not the liberals who partake in insanity such as this - it is the "progressives"...people who hate themselves, their country and anything and everything that could be perceived American or Christian.

Thanksgiving to me is a day where we reflect on how terrible we are as a people and how this country is founded on genocide and blood baths. It's a day to take notice of how we're an extremely materialistic society that is quickly being converted to a Christian Fascist nation, led by a small political elite, oppressing the masses.

Is that what you were looking for, mudwhistle? You're obviously looking for the stereotypical (but oddly enough, non-existent) liberal reply.

I spent it being thankful that I still got Turkey in Argentina.

A flock of about 30 wild turkeys just strolled through my yard. You can drop by and have as many as you want as we consider them, like stereotypers, pests.

Thanksgiving to me is being blessed with friends, family and life.
IMO it doesn't matter if you are praying to God while giving thanks or not.

Many times I believe Americans will have to take back the country and start a new government.

Funny you mention a Latin American nation. Yesterday, and every Thanksgiving or any time I feel down in the dumps, I remind myself of something I saw when I was in Brazil. I was in the dumps one day due a cumulation of things that weren't going well. I took a walk to get rid of some of that frustration. Brazil, like many other Latin American nations I've visited or studied, is full of poverty you never see in the First World. I saw this poor guy on a Rio street with no legs and only one deformed arm sitting on a small wooden car mechanic's dolly (what they can lie on when going under a car) pulling himself along the streets begging for money with the people on the streets of Rio just walking past him as just another beggar. No one seemed to give a crap about him, and by watching him I knew this was just normal for him. He made barely nothing and then I could tell he had to pull himself out of the downtown area and back up the mountainside into the favela (slum) by his own deformed arm.

There is so much to be grateful in one's circumstances when I think of that, even the most essential, priceless and basic things that hide in plain view that so many take for granted.

(I did not just walk past him myself.)

Classic bummed about no shoes until one sees a man with no feet. It's always good to be reminded of this perspective. Thanks, I needed that. Also, it's good to recall a terrible time one may have experienced in their life and be thankful that one had the strength to go on and that the present is not so bad. Perspective.

I am an American. That's the way most of us put it, just matter of factly. They are plain words, those four: you could write them on your thumbnail, or sweep them clear across this bright autumn sky. But remember too, that they are more than just words. They are a way of life. So whenever you speak them; speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully. I am an American. ...a tradition

Until I see evidence to the contrary my assessment won't change. It is not my invention. It is a reaction to the demonizing by Democrats and the press and scare tactics I see in the news every day. Bird Flue, Staff Infection, Global Warming, what's next? I just read a story today that man is causing the Universe to come to an end just by looking at it.
Mankind 'shortening the universe's life' - Telegraph

It's beginning to get ridiculous. I take that back, it went beyond ridiculous years ago.

Liberals know their beliefs aren't the same as most of the country, but they are a persistent group. Many of them will force it down our throats and make us like it.......or else. If they can't get it at the ballot box then they'll sneak it through the courts. The biggest problem I have with Liberals is if you don't agree with them they'll attack you. For a group that is supposed to believe in live and let live they sure like forcing their crap into people's lives. Just check out all the bans in San Francisco.

Liberal, Socialist, Communist, Facist, there is little difference. JFK would be a Republican compared to the Democrats of today. That's how far left they are now.

Thanksgiving is a time for non-natives to give thanks to the original Americans for failing to enforce their illegal immigration policies.
