Most people would say that Thanksgiving means giving thanks for what God has given us.

Because the Politically Correct answer can't have God in it, what does Thanksgiving really mean to us.

Most would say that the Thanksgiving story was about the kindness of Native Americans to White Settlers hundreds of years ago.

Was it about Pilgrims who escaped England in the 1600s who were starving and needed the help of an Indian named Squanto? That is the popular version.

Turkeys weren't part of the feast then. Some say it started when Lincoln pardoned their turkey from the feast or that it could have started when Truman pardoned a turkey in 1947. Who knows for sure because turkey evolved over the years into being the traditional dish for Thanksgiving.

Abraham Lincoln designated that Thanksgiving would be held on the finale Thursday in November. FDR changed it in 1939 to the second-to-last Thursday in November.

Now, progressives are trying to tell us that Thanksgiving isn't a happy holiday for Native Americans. I think they just want to make us all feel bad about yet another holiday similar to the way they've tried to destroy Christmas.

well in Seattle media, it now appears that thanksgiving is being bandied about as an "oppressive" holiday being somehow tenuously connected to the native American genocide.....sorta like holding Columbus responsible for genocide as well...there by deconstructing Columbus day...

If it has anything to do with Native Americans, according to Liberals, it must have something to do with theft of land and mass murder.

Sometimes I just wish I had a Louisville Slugger in a locked room full of Liberals.

Good. Let's abolish them as national holidays and get more productivity from the declining work force. Feast days are the last thing obese Americans need.

I'll take that as sarcasm...

Part or all?

I'm pretty "Libera" and I generally use Thanksgiving to reflect upon all the great things that I have in my life.

Of course, given my quasi-atheism, it's hard to say exactly to whom I should be thankful, but...

Careful, that's a Christian God holiday, traditionally celebrated to thank that god, with the original date changed to provide merchants with more shopping days between that retailer bonanza and the big one.

I tried correcting the spelling and for some reason it didn't take. Excuse the hell out of me.

Thank whomever or whatever you want.

The amazing thing is that so many Liberals feel they have nothing to be thankful for, yet they live in a country where they can say anything they want and not be thrown in jail for it. Be thankful for that.

Be thankful that you still can murder the innocent unborn yet refuse to kill murderers.

Be thankful that Democrats are running this country and still are able to blame their screwups on Bush.

Be thankful that Lesbians are all over the networks because it's nolonger fashionable to discriminate against them. We've got Ellen, Oprah, and maybe some day Rosie will be back on the air. Maybe Hillary will get elected so then you'll have a lesbo in the White House.

You have so much to be thankful for. Learn to appreciate it.

You dont have to believe in god to strengthen your family ties and thank those around you, or even to thank the world for what it has given you.

What liberals have you been talking to?

The outspoken ones.

Usually they hate me for my beliefs and they usually think they are more intelligent because of it. They often feel that their I.Q. went up 50 points just because they voted Democrat in the last election. They also feel that anyone who is against abortion must be a Bible-Banger and that anyone who believes in God must be retarded and that Christianity is a malignant disease. They should be thankful that they had parents that didn't take advantage of Roe v. Wade.

Athiests tend to be Liberals. They also tend to be morally loose which means they usually have no problem with homosexual lifestyles being taught to children. I just think that kids, and I'm talking about grades K thru 9th grade, don't need the stress that sexual education of any kind causes. Is there any wonder why there are so many turning to Homeschooling.

I have no problem with Gays. My sister is Gay. I usually can spot someone who is Gay pretty easily, but not always. Hillary is Gay, Al Gore is Gay, Oprah is Gay, Elton John, The Rock, Neil Patrick Harras, Lance Bass from NSYNC, Richard Camberlain, Melissa Etheridge, Rupert Everett, David Geffen, Johnny Mathis, Sir Ian McKellen was Gandalf in LOTR, George Michael, Boy George, George Takai better known a Sulu on Star Trek is a flaming homosexual, all of 'The Kids In The Hall', Barry Mannilow, and the list goes on. If you walk like Hillary Clinton, love 'Grey's Anatomy', or listen to K.D. Lang records you might be Gay. Almost every one of the above hates Bush for one reason: because he is a professed Christian. This is Ancient Rome all over again. The rich and powerful (In Hollywood) are persecuting Christians once again.

I can't lump everyone into classes and stereotypes because that is what Liberals do. People are people. Some Liberals give others a bad name. Rosie O'Donnell, and those who think 9/11 was an inside job give all of them a bad name. I have a problem with their judgment when it comes to politics because they keep pushing phonies for political office. Al Gore, John Kerry, Bill Clinton, and now Hillary. Some day they will stop acting like they don't see that their candidate is a liar and find someone who is worth voting for.

Hillary is dangerous because she has too much to hide and she can be tricked into doing something that purely self-serving which will end up bad for this country. She's taking money from the Chinese and she has too many flaws to be an effective President. She has a Lebanese girlfriend who could easily be a spy. If Hillary gets in the Oval Office you might as well say our enemies will be running this country.

Hillary lived with Donna Shalala for five years. Donna Shalala is currently on the board of directors for Gannett Company which owns USA Today, ARMY TIMES, and various other papers and magazines. It is a terrible situation when a political candidate has the inside track on that large a segment of the news media.

Harry Reid is a traitor and an idiot, Nancy Pelosi wants to be Hillary but she hates her guts. Both of them are corrupt and incompitent leaders. Nether of them is truely Liberal but they play the part in Congress just to get money and votes.

Liberals in Hollywood and the music industry are professing their anti-Bush beliefs just to get rich or get a better gig. Kanye West, George Clooney, and Sean Penn fall into this group.

Liberals seem to think that man is the cause of every problem on Earth. Most of the time Nature goes haywire. Man isn't always the cause of it.

Sorry for the rant.

These are examples of Liberals and sorry to say they are the ones who are giving the rest of them a bad name. To many of them winning in Iraq would be terrible. They want this country to suffer for our ancestors evil deeds. They only hold this country in contempt. They are too quick to point fingers yet never willing to accept blame themselves because they are the ones with good intentions even though they couldn't do a better job themselves.

I have met too many of them on sites like this.
