You’ve Crossed the Line!
For many years I have applauded (to many people)AR’s seemingly unbiased acknowledgment of the holidays and important dates of many nations and religions.

But, today’s very open political “jab” in the Thanksgiving acknowledgmen....was both uncalled for and “not” totally accurate !

A correction without political bias would be welcome! Thank You, memtb

Political? How is a factual remembrance of the Pilgrims political.

My wife goes all the back to those original immigrants and I can tell you they would have starved had it not been for Squantum and his tribe of Wapanoags. In fact, our house is on the land owned by Myles Standish back in 1620s.

Happy Thanksgiving all.

The only thing that I think is strange about the banner is that in both of the first hand accounts of the first "Thanksgiving" there is no mention of turkey being served. There was however notations of venison being served.

Definitely makes you think, if the people living here had a legal immigration system, would they have been slaughtered, as they were, everything taken from them, and left with the miniscule worthless lands they were corralled on, in the hopes they would be silenced forever. Hmmm

Happy Thanksgiving

Great banner. Really makes you think! Of course the original immigrants really WERE terrorists! Look what they did, and they weren't any good at mowing grass, picking strawberries or tomatoes, or even roofing!

Don, thank you for sharing that family history. My Wood ancestors came to Plimoth about 1630, so they missed the first terribly lean years. They married Mayflower children and grandchildren -- and yes, they owed a debt to the Wampanoags!

It made it to an Australian forum. The "undocumented aliens" although also changed to "undocumented Muslims"

Lie it or not there are political overtones in these times in which we live.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND NOT FOR THE BETTER.

I wonder just how many of you will be screaming bloody murder when those "immigrants" are taking YOUR and your families jobs because they will work for almost nothing, bringing in THEIR ideas of how things should be run in OUR COUNTRY, bringing in rodents and other vermin, insects and diseases from other countries and doing their best destroy YOUR way of life.

China is trying to bury us militarily on one side and TOTALLY BURYING US at Walmart and the other marts with cheap clothing, Harbor Freight with cheap tools and Americans are loosing jobs to overseas and across the border cheap labor and YOU bastids are lapping it up and screaming at a computer screen or some Chinese piece of garbage with buttons on the front.

The MINDLESS crap that humans come up with and mindless blindness to reality NEVER cease to amaze and sadden me...absolutely NO SENSE OF SELF PRESERVATION and TOTAL MINDLESS S.F.B.

You better bend over and kiss you ass goodbye because your brains are already gone. Lawrence had the right idea..."NO PRISONERS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for Thanksgiving...that has been bastardized by Hollywood, Madison ave and politicians so badly, as has Christmas and all the other holidays, and the story has been twisted so badly that politicians take note of it and use it to the "screw the populace" in ways NO ONE ever imagined...and the dates we use are nothing but a fabrication to boot.

Apparently I missed the "banner".
Let me guess, Saeed and his merry band of leftists went off suggesting that Thanksgiving is a celebration of the Natives feeding the pilgrims?

Here is a more accurate depiction of the truth. Written by a Harvard leftist. But even he fails to mention the FACT that the "Mayflower compact" was the proverbial "social contract" that the leftists love so dearly. And that the first Thanksgiving, AFTER that idiotic first American experiment in Socialism failed so miserably, was actually a celebration of the success of rugged individualism and every man for his self. The Bradford party suffered miserably from their socialist experiment and nearly all perished, then when they had enough they threw the Mayflower compact out the window and thrived. But keep re-writing history you leftist frauds. Eventually the truth always catches up.

If your and your family's jobs can be done by illiterate, untrained immigrants than you have a lot more to worry about than immigrants ideas of how the country should be run.

A lot of us have, some of us never went to sleep and have been trying to point out what was happening, but very few have wanted to listen.

Too many folks over the past 4 or 5 decades or so have been more concerned about their families futures than our countries future asnd are now awakening to what that has cost them and America.

Our nation has became too divided along the lines of Political Ideology to the point that it will never be United again, unity has went out the window and rabid partisanship has taken its place.

America's moral and societal values have decayed to the point that they cannot be salvaged, so a lot of folks reallyu do not see that banner as being all that important!

Crazyhorseconsulting, I “respectfully” disagree. We were a “very” divided nation during the 1860’s.....many thousands of Americans died as a result. Yet, we eventually came together as a nation....consequently building the greatest (in many ways) nation on earth.

It can happen again....though, it will be a very difficult transformation. Possibly, will require another shedding of blood! Whatever is required..... to save the Republic as it was created! memtb
