This is a short week, so I’ll keep this week’s offering short and sweet.  Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day.  The usually accepted, that is to say, artificial story of the origin of Thanksgiving is that in 1621, the Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony celebrated their first harvest by inviting the Wampanoag Indians to a feast.  The part of the story that was left out was retold by the late Rush Limbaugh on his radio show.  Rush recounted that the original charter of the Pilgrims called for the colony to be administered as a commune, in which no colonist owned any private property.  The Pilgrims survived, but remained near starvation until William Bradford decided to trash the commune system.  Bradford realized that people could not be expected to do their best work without incentive, so Bradford unharnessed the power of free enterprise by introducing the capitalistic principle of private property.  If people had a stake in the outcome, they worked harder.  Hard work in one’s self-interest led to prosperity, and the prosperity that was created by capitalism is the engine that made the United States the envy of the world.  That’s the story they don’t teach in school.  In fact, that’s the story that the Socialist’s who’ve been running our schools for a hundred years have been suppressing.  Because the truth is that, but for the capitalist system embraced by William Bradford so many years ago, America wouldn’t have the wealth that the Woke imbeciles are trying to steal from us today.  Early on in our republic, presidents declared days of thanksgiving.  In 1817, New York adopted an annual Thanksgiving holiday.  In 1863, Abraham Lincoln set the Thanksgiving holiday as the last Thursday in November.  It stayed that way till 1939, when the last Thursday in November was November 30.  A group of retailers, worried that the late Thanksgiving would hamper holiday sales, asked FDR to move Thanksgiving up a week to extend the holiday shopping season.  FDR agreed, and since 1939, Thanksgiving falls on the second to last Thursday of the month.  As with most of our holidays, we’ve largely abandoned the original meaning of Thanksgiving, which involved thanking God for providing what was necessary for survival.  Nowadays, we have the 99 year old Macy’s parade, followed by multiple football games and the conspicuous consumption of thousands more calories than we need, or are good for us.  Regardless of the fact that we’ve lost the true meaning of the holiday, we still have many things to be thankful for.  We should be thankful to have our families around us, or at least  the ones we can stand to tolerate around the table.  But most of all, we should be thankful that next year we’ll have an opportunity to remove the Woke imbeciles from office and rededicate our government to sanity, where the truth is the truth and the law is the law.
