Soon we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. Do we know what we are giving thanks for and to whom are we giving thanks?
If we go back to the start, the days of the Pilgrims, we would find that they gave thanks for a bountiful harvest and for the new life that they were living. If we look at who they were giving thanks to, we would find that they were thanking God.
And this is what we should be doing: being thankful that we live in a country that allows us to worship freely and have a bountiful harvest, and thanking God for all of this.
The pilgrims were thanking a Christian god, but this year we can thank a god of our choice, whatever religion we believe in.
If you don’t believe in God, then thank your parents for having you. Thank your newspaper deliverer for a daily delivery. Thank your neighbor for being friendly. The main thing is to really be thankful and make this holiday have a real meaning.

“My god told me this was MY land.” - Great American
Yes, because the Native Americans never, ever, fought over hunting grounds, water, ect, ect. Don’t be silly, they certainly did. It appears this “My god” has been busy with making land grants way before the arrival of the evil white man. But hey, it’s always fashionable to hate the winner.

“What about genocide had you LYAO?” - swooth
It’s the CLAIM of genocide that often receives the LYAO. I just can’t buy into the silliness that the Indians were clueless on gambling, drinking and killing one another until the evil white man showed up. If you’re trying to make me feel bad that the white man was better at gambling, drinking and killing one another than the Indians were, sorry, just ain’t feeling it.

“You know that you aren't supposed to snort the powdered kool-aide, don't you?” - Ignore the blue powdered kool-aid on my nose.
[Eye roll]
Red kool-aide. Blue kool-aide. There’s a difference? Seriously?

Swoothie, genocide, please your're trying yourself; like I said I have seen some damn wealthy Indians in several states so give it up. Are you one of those nut cases who protest Indian team names? Sounds like it. Woo hoo woo hooh hooh! Stick a feather up your ass and call you turqois!
BTW take the Hijacker with you and drink your brand of kool-aid your heart's content!

"maybe the First Sista should be thankful instead of playing the victim role and being a racist" NOMO
HUH REALLY?
Posted by: Keith Williams3 | November 24, 2009 at 11:42 AM
Ah yes, let us thank God that we left Europe, came here, took from the Natives what they were willing to share or give to us, and then slaughter them to pieces! Christianity at it's finest!!

Thanksgiving, a harvest feast that the Pilgrims shared with Native Americans at Plymouth in 1621. That feast was a prelude to genocide.

I will be thanking Congress for making us be the stuffed turkey as married, taxpaying, hard working citizens that refuse to expect government to hold our hand and blame those that have for our shortfalls.
