BLACK FRIDAY: Shoppers started camping out last week

Seems two shoppers in El Cajon are so worried about losing out on Best Buy deals, they began camping out this past Wednesday. That is, before security gave them the boot.

I have a feeling that inventories everywhere are going to be quite a bit lower than years past. Maybe these campers are on to something. Decided lack of cheer, no?

When you don’t have a job but have plenty of free government cash and benefits flowing in, you have the leisure time to camp out for a few days to get a discount on your next HDTV.

Many years ago....I would run to a sale....

After many runs...I finally realized sales occurred all the time.

Black Friday...Big deal....Just another sale!!

The point is that Black Friday has become a holiday of its own.
Only to the relatively small number of whack-jobs, freaks and losers whom the MSM and greedy retailers exploit.
For the overwhelming majority of Americans, Thanksgiving, and the ensuing weekend, remain a time for family and friends.

It used to be about turkey and stuffing, now it's all just about getting more stuff. Having the family together, having a special meal, actually thanking God for your blessings, that's all so 20th century.

Get with the program, you iPhone and iAgra are what's important, not your family and thanking God for anything.

Now who do you suppose they voted for??? The one who thinks those who actually work should pay “their fair share”?

The battle against the family is edging out Thanksgiving.

Try not doing anything but rest on Sundays (like we are commanded to do), just for six weeks, and you will discern very well, the push to tear the family apart.

Thanksgiving used to be the quintessential American holiday. However, we have become a nation of whiners, ingrates, malcontents.

It would take an absolute idiot to camp out just to wait for some stupid store to open its stupid doors so stupid people can spend their money on stupid material items. What a stupid bunch of people.

Those scumbags have totally no idea of the meaning of Thanksgiving OR Christmas! Of course, they voted for BO.

I’ll stand down by the door and catch the grey men when they dive from the fourteenth floor.

Gonna wear no socks and shoes, with nothing to do but feed all the kangaroos

Yes, it has. “Black Friday” is not alone in moronic sales behavior. Did you miss the TV ads for “Veterans Day Weekend Sales”? Did you notice, that on Veterans Day, the cable-supplied music channels, in their ‘seasonal’ section, ONLY played Christmas music?

Thanksgiving Day, once set aside as a national, if not conducted privately, day of giving thanks for all the blessings afforded, to our nation, to our family, and to ourselves.

Now, in the day of Obamaphones, and in the time when the Democratic Party made it their “policy” to omit God from any and all published material, in the words of those of us who USED to live in New Orleans, and know what a ‘Schwegmann’s’ is (local version box store, but with more family atmosphere): “Ain’t d’ere no mo’!”

Fools. Sacrifice Thanksgiving with your family in order to save a few bucks. I’m sure the kids will understand in the future, how Mom or Dad missed Thanksgiving every year because they had to wait to go shopping. Plus, with a little searching, you can find almost the same exact “deals” online.
