Thanksgiving

[bigrebnc1775]

Exactly what you lefties do best, take something out of context in order to delude yourselves, however, it seldom works for long. As previously stated, "the "first Thanksgiving" in 1621 has little in common with the modern-day celebration. It began when some colonists at Plymouth went out "fowling," probably for geese and ducks rather than the harder-to-catch turkeys, since they reported they "in one day killed as much as... served the company almost a week." Other items on the menu probably included fish, eels, shellfish, stews, vegetables, and beer.

After the successful hunt, 90 or so Wampanoag made a surprise appearance at the settlement's gate." Although this may have been initially alarming to the colonists, who numbered about 50, the groups socialized peacefully over the next few days. The Wampanoag contributed venison to the feast and joined the Pilgrims for activities like shooting guns, running races and drinking liquor. The end result of the rather disorderly party was a treaty between the two groups that lasted until King Philip's War in 1675."


All I can say to you is praise God comrade and enjoy your government sponsored religious holiday.

Dude stop it your killing me what you lefties do?

I am aware of your links and the history that is just what you lefties want; paternalism and babying from government so much so that you need to have a religious day set aside to be told to worship and be thankful. Wonders will never cease, apparatchik.

Excuse me but I hate obama don't care to protect faggots marrying each other pro life abortion is murder so how am I a leftie again? How exactly does that go?

You can say all you want but that doesn't make it true.

just as you can say thanksgiving is a christian holiday...... doesn't make it true.

It was a day set aside to give God thanks, that is a fact.

so again.... you are backing off and backpedaling on your claim that it is a ...... christian.... holiday


gotcha.... thanks for playing.

Our modern Thanksgiving came from Lincoln who set aside a day to give Thanks that the union was preserved.

All in all, there's not much to be thankful for.

and washington used it as a celebration of winning the war of independence... seems like a war thing if you ask me.....

You don't get it started by Christians to give thanks to their God. and Presidents agree.

really? Their god? I was under the impression that you agreed that which god was not specified. You seem to change your story a lot in this thread.

Thanksgiving is a national harvest holiday celebrated primarily in North America. In Canada, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In the United States, it is celebrated on the last Thursday in November and commemorates a meal shared between colonists and Native Americans in 1621.

Although it is rooted in the history of the Pilgrims (who were Christian "Separatists"), the American Thanksgiving is no longer generally considered a religious holiday, but a day to gather with family, eat an astounding amount of food, watch football and parades, and be thankful for the blessings of life.

Thanksgiving would be a day for thanking God, I suggest you do that.

Thanksgiving is about giving thanks for family and friends in my opinion regardless of what the first thanksgiving was about. Now, the alternate and more important issue in my opinion concerning thanksgiving is the inhumane killing of thousands upon thousands of turkeys so that people can simply stuff their face for an hour or two, but that's a topic for a different day.
