    The Thanksgiving Of A Grateful Nation—And The Ingratitude

    The Thanksgiving Of A Grateful Nation—And The Ingratitude Of A Few

    Recently I wrote about a bunch of ungrateful people in Seattle who aren't happy about Thanksgiving. [Thanksgiving–History From The Enemy’s Point Of View].

    The idea is that we're supposed to feel guilty about the settling of America by people from England, because the descendants of the original inhabitants aren’t happy about it.

    The Seattle Public School Board, and some irredentist Indians at Oyate.org say

    [color=darkred][b][i]“Fact: For many Indian people, 'Thanksgiving' is a time of mourning, of remembering how a gift of generosity was rewarded by theft of land and seed corn, extermination of many from disease and gun, and near total destruction of many more from forced assimilation. As currently celebrated in this country, 'Thanksgiving' is a bitter reminder of 500 years of betrayal returned for friendship.â€

    I called a Wampanoag official once and asked what their preferred name for the Third Thursday in November was, Day of Sorrows, Day of Rememberance etc. Their response was ""huh... oh you mean Thanksgiving."
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

    None of us can change history, whether national or personal. Everyone has to make a decision on what baggage he will carry on his journey through life. I think a lot of people are smart enough to tell when someone with an agenda is pushing their buttons.
