First, They Came for Thanksgiving; Now They Are Coming for Christmas
American Thinker ^ | 26 Nov, 2020 | Fay Voshell

Kate Brown, the Governor of Oregon, was rather ambivalent in her approach to violence during the time Portland was torched by radical mobs. In fact, she thanked “Oregonians for expressing their free speech rights largely through joyful celebrations…”

But Gov. Brown apparently did some soul searching since the election. She found a joyful celebration about to be held by unquestionable enemies of the people. It turns out actual domestic terrorists are Oregonians who wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s extremists who wished to dine on turkey and all the trimmings who are dangerous, as they are potential super-spreaders of disease and destruction. Therefore, it’s Thanksgiving celebrations that need to be tightly regulated. It’s Thanksgiving celebrants who need to be fined and sent to jail if they transgress the regulations the governor has established by executive order.

Among those regulations?

Private social events are to be limited to two households or six individuals in a closed group (including Thanksgiving); masks are to be worn in your own home on Thanksgiving, only removing them when eating; and you are not to leave your home during the two-week shutdown. Consequences include a fine of $1,250 and possible jail time. Neighbors should report non-compliance.

It is hard to avoid the suspicion the Governor wants the bulk of citizens locked within their domiciles while radicals once again roam free

The tight regulations during the holidays do make one think about the examples of the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China.

We might recall that citizens of the Soviet Union were not permitted to celebrate Christmas until 1991, when the USSR collapsed. As Emily Tamkin noted in an essay published in Foreign Policy, czarist Russia, which was widely Christianized, celebrated Christmas. But the Russian Revolution ushered in the communists, who were anti-Christian secularists. She wrote:

Well, they’ve been targeting Christmas for quite some time beforehand.

“Neighbors should report non-compliance”

That is straight out of Nazi Germany and literally straight out of hell.

Of course they will.

They are just taking the holidays one at a time, hoping to not enrage the masses by announcing all the lockdowns through inauguration day, at which point, Biden will lock down the whole country for another 4-6 months as he stated he was going to do.

And yet the tools for defense of liberty stay locked up or at the bottom of rivers.

The left has already destroyed Christmas celebration in America - years and years ago. The only thing left now is to cancel any joy associated with the day - which includes separating family and friends.

masks are to be worn in your own home on Thanksgiving, only removing them when eating

The governor of California says to put the mask back on between bites.

These Commies know no limits and need to be smashed.

No. First, they came for me and mine ... now its your turn - holidays are just a part of everyone to be eliminated in the name of the Greater Good.

They hate Thanksgiving and Christmas because:
- they are rooted in Christian tradition
- they spring from and strengthen family ties
- they imply that goodness comes from a source other than government
- they fight the communist idea that all must be EQUALly poor and miserable

The chinese virus has nothing to do with it. It’s us they hate, and want to eliminate.
