It is almost a week after Thanksgiving but these kinds of notions and mindsets didn’t arise from nothingness. If they weren’t handed down by their parents (rather doubtful, especially at a “Christian” college, methinks), it’s by our educational system that has taught this self-loathing of one’s own country.

For America, gratitude is foundational
Thanksgiving is a critically important American holiday. The reason is simple. The survival of the United States as an independent nation of free peoples depends upon gratitude. If Americans do not remain forever grateful for the system we inherited, we will lose it. If this sounds a bit dramatic, take it up with Abraham Lincoln. Preserving … Read more
Southern New Hampshire – Get Ready for Your First BIG Snow
If you’re tired of the lite crunchy stuff we’ve had so far this winter in the southern parts of the state, real winter weather is on the way. The unpleasant cold we’ve experienced will be joined by shovel-ready snow beginning Sunday afternoon.
Surprise Visit: President Trump Spends Thanksgiving With Troops in Afghanistan
Here’s a feelgood story for the day. Your president made a “surprise visit” to troops in Afghanistan for Thanksgiving. A Surprise to them and his first trip to that theater since his election.
Pilgrims, Indigenous Peoples, And Progressive Reprogramming on Thanksgiving
The rewriting of history is a constant process. One we abet by allowing the State to run an education monopoly. Re-Education camps whose propaganda hit the steroids on College Campuses. One of the most grievous offenses is their reinterpretation of Thanksgiving.
No Holiday is sacred for the Left
It’s the holidays with Thanksgiving up first. Now, I don’t know about you but for me and my family, it is a time of reflection on all that God has bestowed upon – and being thankful for all those blessings (even when they didn’t “feel” like blessings at the time), for our friends, and for … Read more
Rage Against the Culture Wars
In case you haven’t noticed, we are living in an age in which the Political Correctness police wage an almost constant battle against traditional American values, culture and traditions.
Speaker Pelosi Wishes Everyone a Happy Thanksgiving…For Valentines Day
I’m sure she’s just excited to have passed a crap-laden, bill filled with Democrat priorities past Mr. Trump. She’s ecstatic to have had the help of Republicans who agree with her. Nancy might even be a bit giddy over having robbed America of more hope for a secure southern Border. And she sure is pleased … Read more
By the way – Thanksgiving isn’t Racist Oppression. It Isn’t Even Cultural Appropriation
As the annual onslaught of “Social Justice hate” against Thanksgiving dissipates in the seasonal rear-view, we have an opportunity to stir it back up. What? Triggering snowflakes is fun. Speaking of which, Trump and Thanksgiving start with the same letter. Right? That’s not what I meant. Related: Decolonizing Thanksgiving: A Toolkit for Combatting Racism in Schools.” The … Read more
Thanksgiving is over – now you may begin!
For decades, I have never allowed TMEW to start in on Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving Day is over. I’ve been known to walk into a store to get something on my “current shopping list” only to walk right out when I saw Christmas sales – in October. Not gonna do it. Now you may proceed; … Read more
And college students believe Thanksgiving is RACIST!
A way to destroy a nation is to destroy or warp its norms, its culture… …and its history. Change them and you’ve changed the culture – and the nation. But there seems to be a few that are catching on and going “whoa, wait a sec!” (H/T: The Blaze)
“Poll Finds Many Americans Hope To Avoid Political Discussions At Thanksgiving”
Yeah, that would not be we Groksters:
Few Americans are eager to mix politics and turkey this Thanksgiving. A mere 15 percent are looking forward to having political discussions, while 40 percent hope to avoid talking about politics over Thanksgiving dinner. There are still 45 percent who don’t care either way…Thirty-seven percent of Republicans and 40 percent of Democrats wish to avoid political discussions this Thanksgiving — a somewhat rare instance of partisan agreement. Forty-two percent of Independents said that they hope to avoid politics.
This year it won’t be a “problem” as the Eldest and his family have ventured south to have Thanksgiving with the Daughter-in-Law’s family this year. Thus, TMEW, the Grandson, and I will be heading to the local “Turkey Farm” restaurant for our meal (depending on the cold because it’s first come, first served and there’s generally a line out the door for a couple of hours – thankfully they normally put up a large heated tent for the waiting overflow). So, no other family to “upset”.
Where A Privileged Dartmouth Student Hates On Thanksgiving
I stumbled across the Social Justice rantings of some privileged (staff writer) for The Dartmouth. The opinion piece is a screed against Thanksgiving. You can’t even get past the first paragraph without realizing what a miserable ass they are. By now the world knows, or at least many of us do, that Thanksgiving is a holiday … Read more
Decolonizing Thanksgiving: A Toolkit for Combatting Racism in Schools.”
Liberals have been wrecking Thanksgiving for years. In the past, it’s been the DCCC annual ruin Thanksgiving guide/talking points. Your racist, sexist, relatives will spout lies comrades (Lies I tell You!) and here’s what you need to know to set everyone in hearing-distance straight (like ideological conversion therapy). Because that’s how you get invited back … Read more
White Meat Equals Racism
In case you didn’t know it having a preference for white meat at Thanksgiving makes you a racist. Warner Todd Huston, on Breitbart, has an entertaining piece about the rantings of one Ron Rosenbaum at Slate, who makes the case that white bread, the other white meat (Pork), and even a preference for white Turkey … Read more

Thanksgiving – a re-acquainting and a reality check
Yes, as those in the mental health field say, I am still processing Mom’s passing – it may take a while and I’m sure that there will be some rough edges that will catch me when I’m least likely to think so – it will continue to hurt until it subsides into a low-level throb. But I can still be thankful that she was MY mom and for all the times this former teenager and full-of-himself early-twenties something said and did things, I realized that in the end, she knew “he’ll come to his senses (mostly)” (yeah, she still had doubts – but what parent doesn’t that truly wants their offspring to be the best they can be and wants to correct what they see wrong?).
But while I say goodbye on one hand, I am still having the opportunity of my life in becoming re-acquainted with the Youngest. My time with him as a “full-of-himself” teenager and early-twenties was no fun at all and there were a lot of times I wondered what the heck I was raising. These last two weeks, however, have revealed a more laid-back son, more willing to smile and showing the signs of our relationship moving from Dad-the-Father to Dad-the-Advisor. Now out of the Army, he has a bewildering number of options as he deals with some after effects of his hitch and service. Before it used to be “leave me alone – *I* can figure it out!”; now it is more often than not ‘Hey Dad, what do you think about…”. It was also fun as he kept TMEW and I in stitches with some stories from his service during our Thanksgiving dinner. Dunno why they came out today, but mirthful doesn’t even come close.
It’s unreal how smart I got in 4 years. It’s also humbling that some things that I wanted to pass on (“You will always be a parent.”) actually seem to have taken root. For that, I am thankful to God for giving me the patience in dealing with is “idiosyncrasies”. The reality check, The reality check, for those that still have young or middling kids at home…
Seasoned Greetings
The Holidays are upon us. It’s that special time of year when atheism gets more Constitutional religious freedom than any actual religion, the lefts devotion to separation of church and state does not prevent union government employees from enjoying paid days off for…religious holidays, and we get to remind ourselves that what believing in a power greater than yourself really means is trusting a godless government that fears no power greater than itself to act as our moral compass.
I don’t have to give you examples, the social and economic decline that has paralleled my life (at least) is evident all around us….but I will anyway.
DCCC Thanksgiving Cheat Sheet
The Morons at the DCCC have done the nation a service this Thanskgiving. They have sent out an email to arm the tin-foil hat army with a ‘cheat sheet’ in the event that they find themselves in this unfortunate situation.
You’re settling in at the table on Thursday and in between shouts of "please pass the mashed potatoes," one of your relatives starts repeating one of Sarah Palin‘s lies, or some ludicrous accusation about President Obama that he heard at a tea party rally or on Rush Limbaugh‘s radio show.
There’s only one problem. The cheat sheet does not equip the Reynolds wrap wearing acolytes of liberalism with anything new. What it amounts to is things they can yell instead of engaging in debate. But the DCCC is not to be discouraged.
That’s why we’re proud to bring back the DCCC’s Thanksgiving Cheat Sheet. The Cheat Sheet will arm you with the real facts so you can answer back with the truth as soon as your Republican relatives start sounding like Sarah Palin.
I think this is the same card they sent out to the House reps to run on for reelection. It really is just crap to be shouted over the Yams and stuffing, a list of so-called democrat accomplishments–only they left one out. "Having policies so unpopular with the voters that they lost 63 House seats."
It’s about the only good thing to come out of that damn party and they left it off the list.
That’s OK. You know what to do if you encounter the cheat sheet. Just ask polite questions. They have no idea how to answer them. They don’t know anything that is not on the cheat sheet.
And my suggestion for democrats this Thanksgiving? This list is a real turkey. Pretend to be an independent.
The Cheat sheet is on the jump. Don’t drink anything while you read it or it’s coming out your nose and all over your computer. You have been warned.
