    I haven't seen one RWer on this thread not all up in arms, meanwhile, all the liberals here enjoyed their thanksgiving.
    See what is reality here?
    You are all upset over, per your links, 6 people.

    The First Nations man Squanto (Tansquinetum?) was the actual FOUNDER of the Thanksgiving Feast, which was largely made up by the First Nations people who helped the Pilgrims to survive and prosper. Much of the later conflict between FN and Pilgrims was due to the FN recruiting them as allies in their ongoing struggles with other tribes

    I consider it the major feature of an active mind but then again you are conservative and conservatives consider an active mind to be subversive . If the entirety of any nation were just like you or anyone that nation would be the worst shithole on Earth.

    Really? I said myself that I enjoyed mine just fine. I can multitask just fine - enjoy my Thanksgiving AND point out how the left seems hell-bent on guiltifying people for trying to enjoy theirs.

    Your turn: Overgeneralizing groups - you use it yourself but at the same time say it's bad if I do it. What is it - used or no?

    But you are all up in arms over a fake war on Thanksgiving.
    There hasn't been a rightie yet who hasn't whined about the 6 people who said thanksgiving is racist.

    Meanwhile, most every liberal on this thread thinks the concern over 6 people are a joke and enjoyed Thanksgiving.

    Since you enjoyed yours obviously there is no war on Thanksgiving.
    Since liberal NYC had their annual Thanksgiving day parade, there's no war on Thanksgiving.

    Why wouldn't the entire Leftist Liberal Progressive movement Hate Thanksgiving and Christmas, they already support Critical Racist Theory and believe White People are born Racist oppressors, so why should Christmas and Thanksgiving be any different.

    Overgeneralizing groups: Good for you - not for anyone else. Got it.

    Well, those who think America shouldn't exist can walk their talk and leave. The natives aren't the only ones who don't want them here. Our pact is with God, not them.

    I haven't heard anyone say the ENTIRE left hates Thanksgiving. What is being noted is that those who do and want to cancel it are on the left. Do you condemn those leftist efforts?

    I think some white racist and black racists use Critical Race Theory as a tool in their push to divide the races

    I think CRT itself is just a theory on racism in the USA - not good or bad, just a theory

    Lol, such BS.

    I see both sides of this one, am liberal, but ultimately think it's time to lighten up. I like Thanksgiving for its own sake. But it is BS to think of it as celebrating some kind of reciprocity between colonists and natives. In short, we destroyed them and called it gods will.

    I also like Christmas, more for the lights and trees than consumerism, but won't pretend it is about Jesus or his birth to me (he wasn't born in December). We have fun holidays that bring families together. Leave it at that. And while it may be liberals being against holidays that celebrate an unfair past, most of us are fine with Thanksgiving other than the weight gain.

    Golly, look at many of those links in that article. Why, you'd think there's like some kinda huge collective that's really bitter about the holiday season or something. I wonder how they lean politically? Hm.

    I guess we have to be mad at YOU @Space_Time for pointing that out. Surely not at all those other folks at the links! Why, I bet you didn't even enjoy Thanksgiving!

    Hahaha! Hilarious! Libs whine about people from other countries invading the land of Native Americans yet embrace people from other countries invading the land of the modern day Native Americans!!!!

    Anyone born in America today IS a Native American!

    Did God appoint you to judge who is and isn't a Christian?

    You are aware that God condemns the left in the Bible, yes? There are numerous lines of scripture that make this as clear as day.

    To borrow your phrase, I'm pretty sure they agree with riling up the RW up to a large degree... It's their entire reason for existing these days...

    Says the guy who thinks there’s these evil far right wing extremist groups that are the ACTUAL threat to our country. Even though like less than .000000000001% of all right wingers are actually in any group like that and then blame the right for it.

    Then you have the audacity to get faux appalled that righty’s do it to you leftist when your idiot lefty extremists are used to represent you.

    You don’t like it? Don’t do it to us.
