What about Thanksgiving?

I stayed home from work today to do a little preparation for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Between bouts of scrubbing, dealing with Mount Neverest and polishing wood floors, I got to thinking about the Christmas issue again.

'What', I wondered, 'if Thanksgiving is also an assault on the unwashed masses masquerading as a benign traditional holiday?'

A quick look around the blog-sphere and there seem to be blogs everywhere making reference to Thanksgiving and what they are thankful for. Thanksgiving and Christmas, Thanksgiving, It's All About Name, Amy's Humble Musings.

RuthLace devotes an entire post to Thanksgiving traditions from her youth compared to now. She and Daddys Roses have referenced a forum asking about Thanksgiving traditions and what we are thankful for.

Lone Pawn writes in his Thanksgiving Special Post:

Thanksgiving is the day when the dominant white culture (and, sadly, most of the rest of the non-white but non-indigenous population) celebrates the beginning of a genocide that was, in fact, blessed by the men we hold up as our heroic founding fathers.

In my quest for enlightenment, I realize that the term 'Thanksgiving' undoubtedly refers to 'giving thanks' which refers to 'prayer'.

Of course the next question is: 'Who are we giving thanks to?'.

Well, we ALL know the answer to THAT!

This can not possibly be good for our families and children. Especially if it is being mentioned in schools and public government buildings.

More brainwashing, more molding of little vulnerable minds. And those of us in the ill-informed fly-over space of 'Middle America' are dupped again!

After the next load of laundry I'll look into this more.....
