In this special Thanksgiving Edition of the DUmmie FUnnies we shall observe how the DUmmies celebrate, or rather NOT celebrate, Thanksgiving this year. As you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “No Thanksgiving This Year,” the DUmmies, with a few exceptions, are refraining from celebrating the holiday this year. As usual, the hungry comments of the DUmmies angrily glaring at the Thanksgiving tables they will not sit at are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, stuffing himself with turkey and all the trimmings, is in the [brackets]:
No Thanksgiving This Year…
[Speak for yourself, Dummie 5X.]
The celebration of the fall harvest and in some areas an almost religous giving of thanks does not quite seem appropriate this year. The harvest this year consists of war dead, civilians and soldiers, fascism and corporatism instead of democracy, and four more years of huge profits for friends of george. I won't be celebrating thanksgiving or any other holidays this year but instead will avoid any shopping except for necessities. I will be actively boycotting republican owned and supporting businesses. I will speak out when ever possible against the war and the theft of our democracy. This will be my gift to family and friends for this holiday season.
[Since you won’t be eating any Thanksgiving dinners this year, DUmmie 5X, wouldn’t that mean you would need to downsize your name to 4X?]
We stopped celebrating any holidays religious or otherwise after the 2000 coup by the bushit crime family. This will continue as long as a single repuke lives!!!
[Welcome to an eternity of holiday boycotts!]
The Christian Reconstructionists applaud your decision. One of their minor issues (beneath the subjugation of women & the return of slavery) is the abolition of the Godless Popish/Pagan holidays. Which means nearly all of them.
[Hmm…. Methinks you are thinking of the Jehovah Witnesses but since those folks don’t vote nor participate in public affairs in any way, your angry thrust is a bit moot.]
I am thankful that my husband was able to find work within a week after being laid-off. I am thankful that I am able to attend college full-time. I am thankful for my family and for my health. I am thankful for my 4 cockatiels and my cat. I am thankful for having such generous friends who help us at the drop of a hat. I am thankful we can pay the bills and aren't drowning in debt anymore. I am thankful that I can finally afford to buy christmas presents for my family. I am thankful for my marriage and my husband. I am thankful for everything I have. Thank Goddess and God for giving these to me.
[Your reverent praise of the Twin Deities is quite touching.]
I don't see the point in celebrating two of the most over indulgent holidays of the year. While our troops are away from their families and malnutrition among Iraqi children has doubled since the war of aggression started, I really don't feel too festive.
[And yet if Kerry won you would now be stuffing your face with turkey and trimmings. See, Bush has done some good for you after all. It is because of him you won’t be suffering from the typical holiday weight gain.]
I can't give up the holidays. My Democratic family and I need some cheering up. However, I still plan to actively participate in demonstrations about the stolen vote. RedefeatBush.com has a counter-inauguration planned.
[Your Counter-Inaugural Ball tickets are in the mail.]
Holidays have never really been important to us. They are just pagan rituals..
[Your Goddess will be VERY ANGRY with you.]
Postponing Thanksgiving Fest 'till there is a recount, the rightfully elected president sits at the oval office, fascism is ebbing and sanity has returned to our democracy, or until GWB and his goons are out of office!
[Psst! Come around to my back door and I’ll have a few slices of turkey available for you in the doggie bag.]
Honestly, I think the freepers would be just thrilled if they thought they had ruined even family holidays for us. Not gonna let that happen. I still have plenty to be thankful for. Pass the eggnog please.
[Hmmm…. Should I allow you to have a Thanksgiving? Okay, I won’t ruin it for you just this one time. Happy Thanksgiving, DUmmie!]
Did you forget the new name? It's the Karl Rove College of Business and Political Science. Shhhh! Your not supposed to tell them it's a reeducation camp.
We finished our Thanksgiving dinner rounds 1-3 (LOL). Nobody said a word about politics. "Pass the stuffing" "I want dark meat" were the kinds of issues that came up around our table. We just arent into the DUmmie thing.
Actually, its' "winged intercourse with a round mobile pastry"
In a related story, the ACLU applauded the decision saying, "We are glad that Maryland has the foresight to remove this instance of establishing religion in the schools. We must continue to work for a society which is tolerant of all faiths, but that will not happen until all vestiges of Christianity are removed from the government. This includes abhorrently deist documents like the Constitution and Declaration of Independence."
They constantly toss around the word "democracy", as they actively seek to defile it.
These pagan idiots wouldn't know democracy if it slugged them in the mouth.
LOL!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Jim. It's been a great year! Thanks for being part of it for so many of us.
Happy Thankgiving, sweetliberty!
Not all leftoids are equally vile. There's hope for some of them. For the worst, though, I'm thinking of the chorus from a hit from before your time: "No sugar tonight in lefties' coffee, no sugar tonight in their tea..."
Honestly, if the DUmmies swallow some of there pompous pride and say we love America and all American you will find would happily sit down and share a festive dinner with you, but as long as you spew venom toward us will just laugh at you and enjoy ourselves.
Anyone for another serving of Turkey?
Happy Thanksgiving all
Actually I had a good Thanksgiving dinner but no politics discussed since I didn't want to ruin things for them by openly gloating about the election results. However, I always read back issues of the New Yorker there and I got a kick out of an article about SF mayor, Gavin Newsome. He instituted Gay marriages earlier this year in San Francisco. Then later, when he met President Bush, he thought Bush was an idiot for acting friendly with him despite his promotion of gay marriages. What that clueless idiot Newsome didn't realize is that Bush was happy that Newsome handed him a great election issue. How many Bush votes did Bust get extra just because of Newsome's dopey gay marriage promotion? No wonder Bush was so friendly to Newsome.
But if you had an aborted turkey that would be ok though. It was never really a turkey in the first place, just meat and tissue. /sarcasm
Happy Thanksgiving to you, PJ.
Kind of scares you to think of them in power.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Jim. It's been a great year! Thanks for being part of it for so many of us.
(repeat greeting)
Happy!
Happy Day to you too!
Ok - even though I told you earlier not to add me to the ping list - because I always searched you out...I'd like to change my toon.
Please add me to the fastest growing ping list, would you please.
LoL - you got the funniest thing going! I'll bet your "blog" will take off!
Poor BABY!

I am boycotting the family thanksgiving today. There have been too many words between us, nasty insinuations about my liberal beliefs have been left on my coffee table for me to read later after they have visited (e.g. we liberals are actually tittering with glee with each G.I. death in Iraq). Last time I visited with the folks it was painfully awkward because we really had nothing to say. Somehow we limped upon a discussion of news, they claiming that fox news is fair and balanced.
I, of course, politely disagreed and was soundly thrashed, and before I knew it my step-mother was spewing some nonsense about how gay marriage would produce a backlash of divorce amongst both gay and straight couples.
My time off is like gold to me, my family more like tarnished copper at this time. So I plan to fast and take a hike.

Sounds threatening to me! And WE are the criminals are we?
