With a Thanksgiving under attack, a lesson Socialism from the Pilgrims

Hey Stupid!!! Thanksgiving isn't under attack. Trump made that up.

As a secular with no connection to religion, Thanksgiving is the ONE holiday that ALL Americans of every faith, race and creed love, even if it does mean spending time with family members like you who are idiots. The Thanksgiving weekend is the biggest travel weekend of the year, and a holiday all Americans love.

Along comes the Divider in Chief, with FAUX News in tow, trying to divide the American people and create fear and paranoia where none exists, by creating a phony "War on Thanksgiving". This is even dumber than the phony War on Christima. And the right wing loons are parrotting this idiocy.

My post has nothing to do with Trump and was not aware he made such a statement. My take is on the people who feel compelled to emphasize the negative origins of Thanksgiving - real or imagined. In my liberal county in Maryland, the local elementary svho banned the celebration at school.


meanwhile my grandkids all celebrated it at school this week.

one of whom goes to a liberal charter school.

As a sane and rational lib-prog who is


1. absolutely right about everything he believes
2. fiercely opposed to modern conservative right wing theocratic fascists

I am thankful we have holidays like thanksgiving!

I care not at all about any religious aspects....

just food and family and football

Wow, what a weird coincidence that you and Trump both think that Thanksgiving is under attack....

he didn't think that until trump mentioned it.

conservatives are easily triggered.

Agreed! Which makes me wonder why anyone would have issue with it.

I thought of it when my local school pulled the celebration and the articles popped up in the weeks leading to today talking about negativity on the roots of Thanksgiving. Why? It’s 2019 and a great American Tradition. Oh, wait, speaking of triggers, “great American Tradition” is certain to get some lefty panties in a bunch.

The Pilgrims were overrun by the Puritans (who they are often confused with).....the Puritans who brought us religious intolerance and witch trials.

The mores of the Puritans persist to this day in those who believe that women who have abortions are heartless sluts who don't want to pay the "consequences" of their behaviour. Or even that women who have sex are sluts at all. Witness the attacks on Kamala Harris.

Good thing the Puritans and their intolerance are no longer a threat today. I look aground the globe and see Christians still taking a beating in the name of intolerance.

Actually there are Progs who want to end it. Joy Reid the prog Socialist Communist broadcaster was the one who said it last week. She can't keep her own in check. But wants others to do her ways. And there is a war on Christmas. Has been for decades. Corporations involved also. Christmas was a bit crass but its meaning was still relevant. Today it is buy, buy, buy!

No, your intent is to propagate a ridiculous lie and hasty generalization fallacy – what happened in one school is ‘representative’ of nothing and no one – ‘liberals’ in particular.

And yet another lie – the strawman fallacy that ‘liberals’ are hostile to American traditions.

The idiocy of this is demonstrated by the fact that millions of ‘liberals’ are currently celebrating Thanksgiving.

That on this day of National unity you and others on the right seek to divide the American people and vilify your fellow Americans illustrates just how reprehensible most conservatives truly are.

Show me where a Conservative has attacked American Holidays by seeking them to be renamed or abolished? I’ll show you intent where it is Liberals seeming to change American Holidays.

Ha Ha... Liberals concerned about unity and avoiding division????

The Pilgrims had no choice but to adopt common ownership

They were few in number and were starving.

They were starving because of collectivism.

Learn to read, Comrade.

And again you're lying. No one is changing the name of anything. It is FOX News and conservatives who are constantly looking for some grievance to stoke so they can claim victimhood, and show how evil liberals are for acknowledging and showing respect for others.

Again, why are YOU stoking hate and phony grievances? Oh yeah. That's what Donald Trump wants. Just because his family hates him and no one wants to spend Thanksgiving with him, he's trying to spoil the holiday for the rest of you.
 
Back in 1966 a certain teacher brought that same message about The Pilgrims first years to her class of 3rd graders.

She asked the class if they thought people really would act that way.

They said "no". People aren't like that at all.

So she took the next step.

For 2 school weeks gave quizzes as usual and graded each student as usual so they saw what they had earned. But then, together, they averaged all the scores and everybody got the same grade instead of the one penciled on their papers. Yup, the "earned" scores were erased and replaced with the "common" scores. Some loved it. Some didn't like it.

About the fourth day the scores (individual and common) were falling and fewer were happy....even those with low individual scores...because the common scores were going rapidly to Hell.

Halfway into the second week the kids, asked if they wanted to continue, dropped it like a hot french-fry (they didn't understand what actual "potatos" are).

She was pressured never to do that again.

She didn't.

She left teaching and got into private industry, expediting international shipments. For more money, better benefits and fewer actual working hours.

Would any indoctrinated teacher even think to try that now? Let alone dare!

Don’t say “no one” is trying to change the name when I showed you a school in Maryland doing just that. This did not come from Fox or Trump.... it came from Montgomery County, MD. Further, the name change at the school for the event was spurred because someone felt victimized that the Thanksgiving celebration was taking place. How is myself calling this out stoking hate? It’s intolerance on the part of the family that made the stink about it because they don’t like it. It is concerning because the the reaction was to appease and capitulate to an intolerant minority voice that does not feel the event should be celebrated. You keep trying to shift the hate sticker on to
Myself simply because I called it out. Do you shoot messengers when you can’t retort?
 
One school...not any reason to even worry about it. One lousy school has no effect. Non story non issue.
