As you begin to come out of your tryptophan-induced coma, here’s an easy bit of Thanksgiving trivia.
Thanksgiving is:
A) A day to celebrate the coming together of Puritans and Indians to give thanks to God for a successful harvest.
B) A time of mourning and cultural self-flagellation.
The answer may seem straightforward. But it’s not, according to the activist Left. Having done all it can to turn Christmas into merely a winter retail festival and to scrub Easter of all its religious meaning (that is, all its meaning), the Left has opened up another front in the culture war by taking dead aim at Thanksgiving.

The left hates American cultural icons, especially those based on religion or European identity. So they hate Columbus day, Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all!

On the other hand, phony balony "holidays" such as Cinco de Mayo and Kwanzaa are becoming more and more popular with each passing year. Now we have a bunch of white boys wanting to give us National Obama Day.
Don't do drugs.

Screw the left. We should just ignore them.
Let them wallow in their own self-loathing and misery and the rest of us can get on about our lives.

We have three holiday banners decorated the streetlights in Pompano Beach. The first one shows a pair of dreidels and says, “Happy Hannukah.” The second one is decorated in brown and green and says, “Kwanzaa Bountiful Harvest.” The last one has a picture of a caribou and says, “Happy Holidays.”

Thanksgiving is when we invite all our Indian friends to a feast to thank them for all their wonderful tech support.
