“Bedford: Thanksgiving Is About The Founding Of Self-Governance And A New Nation”

FTA:Federalist Senior Editor Christopher Bedford railed against Democratic lawmakers Wednesday cancelling their constituents’ private Thanksgiving plans over rising cases of the Wuhan coronavirus as an assault on American liberty.

“There’s a huge amount of symbolism that’s been lost on a lot of these government officials,” Bedford said, calling the Democratic attacks on Thanksgiving next week ironic. “This is the 400th anniversary of the pilgrims arriving in the United States … This is the beginning of self-governance. This was when the country was founded, not the 1619 Project stuff we’ve been being fed.”

To celebrate the 400th anniversary month of the Mayflower’s monumental passage across the Atlantic, The Federalist launched “The 1620 Project” featuring essays from intellectuals, academics, and historians to put in perspective the significance of the pilgrim voyage. It was the Mayflower Compact, signed by 41 adult male passengers while sailing to the new land, that famously applied the idea of law established by the people, not the king.

The first year that the pilgrims were in the New World they tried socialism. No one individually owned any of the farmland that everyone worked together. They almost starved to death so the second spring the governor allotted each family a small plot of land. What a difference it made. People worked their little piece of land hard. For example, if a storm was coming and something needed to be done quickly, everyone in the family got out there and helped instead of some sitting home saying .... that’s not my job.

Socialism does not work. Private property enables an economy to thrive. I wonder how many young people even know about the first two years that the pilgrims were here.

LG~BTW Ted did test Twitter with 3 test tweets about election fraud, which I posted yesterday, and they didn't dare label them "This claim about election fraud is disputed." That's what twitter puts on all of Trump's tweets.
