I did not, nor do i, need Rush to tell of the original Plymouth experiences.
No doubt it was a great event, his reading.
My ancestors, one who was Edward Winslow, passed down the stories to his descendants.
Am heartily sick and tired of these banshees and narcissistic children looking for attention.
And BTW, the whole Plymouth experience had a political tint to it.
As for the first Thanksgiving. It was a gathering of both indian and settlers that lasted a few days and they ate largely what was gathered round about.
Yes, Rush was doing a service to the previously un-educated unwashed masses (who still are uneducated on this topic thanks to their “education” propaganda).
Definitely not needed by descendants who can recite the history. Rush always prefaced the reading by describing the then current whining and moaning and misrepresentation of the actual history in our country. Said whining and moaning in this article from 2021.
In our family it is re-written Revolutionary War history, followed by the wholly avoidable civil war conducted by Revolutionary descendants (more on one side than the other) who worked for two generations to reconcile the new politics, and also serve in two World Wars.
The recent pbs release of a joke of a narrative on our Revolution is based on the moronic Leftist/Communist Howard Zinn (and of course constant reference to the quite false 1619 Project of the NY Slimes). As you say, those who came before lived this, and relayed it to descendants— but these clowns keep trying to re-write their drivel.
