Salon: 'Stop Eating Thanksgiving Turkey!'
NewsBusters ^ | November 27, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

Are you about to enjoy your Thanksgiving turkey? Well, Salon writer Lindsay Abrams wants you to stop. Stop right now! Not content to give liberal ideology a rest even on this holiday, Abrams attempts to guilt trip her readers into giving up turkey for Thanksgiving.

Her arguments against turkey are pretty much what we've heard before. That modern Thanksgiving turkeys are not natural in that they are too fat to fly or breed. Also we get hit with guilt trips about their living conditions. Of course, such turkeys would never even exist in the first place if they were not so ideal for the Thanksgiving table in terms of weight and cost. So here is Abrams doing her to dissuade us from enjoying turkey today:

Thanks for the heads up, Lindsay.

I certainly do plan on stopping eating Thanksgiving turkey - as soon as we finish the leftovers!

For this year, anyhow...

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he/she/ does not eat meat. If a DemocRat is a vegetarian, he/she/it wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican does not like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a DemocRat does not like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a DemocRat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. If a DemocRat is down-and-out he wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican does not like a talk show host, he switches channels. A DemocRat demands that those they do not like be shut down.

If a Republican is a non-believer, he does not go to church. A DemocRat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. If a DemocRat decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his health care.

LOL, you sound like my sister. She despises any mayo, miracle whip or other egg based sauce. I’m not sure why, but I think it has something to do with a home-ec teacher in middle school < BG >.

” too fat to fly or breed. “

Who wants to bet that this is an accurate description of Lindsay Abrams?

I’m having slow-roasted turkey with sage stuffing, and also a mesquite-smoked turkey breast. The Thanksgiving doomsayers can sod off, baissez my cul, and kuss my arsche.

I like mayo just can’t stand the taste of Miracle Whip. Awhile back I was in Arkansas visiting family and we had our usual family get together at a local park. Everyone brings food and it is a pig out. I filled my plate up and took a big bite of potato salad and started gagging and spitting. Who in their right mind makes potato salad with Miracle Whip?!?! lol

Are we supposed to eat plants? Hell, they can't even fight back, run away, or anything. I feel guilty every time I eat corn or an apple . . . they can't defend themselves? You gotta' be cruel and mean to eat veggies!

PLANTS! They are totally defenseless!

Now, I gotta' go and begin carving a big 23+ lb. turkey. At least it could run away. But he didn't!

I'll meet you halfway, Lindsay dear. I've stopped voting for them, m'kay?

I checked my turkey just now and the meat thermometer in the thigh section just popped up and the breast section thermometer just started rising. I’m just minutes away from taking it out of the oven.

God is too bourgeois for them. They believe TOO much in redemptive suffering... they can never stop it for the sake of smelling the roses.

Miracle Whip has a higher vinegar content and lower oil content. IIRC it was a Depression era answer to the more expensive mayonnaise. My family ate nothing else, being frugal. Later I could afford better, but there’s nothing like being able to appreciate both kinds of “salad dressing.” In fact it took a while before mayonnaise appealed to me.

I wonder how she’d feel about our turkey? We shot it in the back yard. :)

And now all the angry souls of departed turkeydom are after you... (well that’s what the liberals wish, they never think about what it’s like to die in nature most of the time).

about 4 people read Salon. 2 of them are stoned.

Only 50%?

Several years ago we quit the ham and/or turkey habit for our family assemblies this time of year. You get it everywhere anyway, it's not like we're giving it up.

Now we do a Korean meal at Thanksgiving & Christmas. Usually grill marinated beef at the table with the traditional sides.

Don’t tell me what to eat, you leftist bastards, and don’t assume that I eat turkey at Thanksgiving.
