Have a Historically Accurate Thanksgiving!
Townhall ^ | 11/25/2020 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 11/26/2020 9:13:54 AM PST by simpson96

As every public school child knows, the first Thanksgiving took place in 1621, when our Pilgrim forefathers took a break from slaughtering Peaceful, Environmentally Friendly, Indigenous Peoples to invite them to dinner in order to infect them with smallpox, before embarking on their mission to fry the planet so that the world would end on Jan. 22, 2031. (Copyright: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)

Consider this description of the Pilgrims' treatment of the Indigenous peoples:

"They were the worst of conquerors. Inordinate pride, the lust of blood and dominion, were the mainsprings of their warfare; and their victories were strained with every excess of savage passion."

Except that's not a description of the Pilgrims' treatment of Indigenous peoples. It's a description of some Indigenous people's treatment of other Indigenous peoples, written by the late Francis Parkman, Harvard professor and the world's foremost Indian scholar.

The Wampanoag, who joined the Pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving, had a lot to celebrate. Contrary to Hollywood's American-hating rendition of "Pocahontas," in which the Indians feared the "White Demons," the Wampanoag were thrilled with their well-armed white allies, who helped them repel the hated Iroquois and Narragansett.

The whole reason the Wampanoag were clustered so close to the coast where the Pilgrims encountered them was that the Iroquois had "pursued them with an inveterate enmity. Some (Wampanoag) paid yearly tribute to their tyrants, while others were still subject to their inroads, flying in terror at the sound of the Mohawk war-cry."

Parkman describes a typical Iroquois celebration following one of their attacks on their fellow "Native Americans" (an absurd term, inasmuch as no Indians were "native" to America because there was no "America" until white Europeans got here and created it):

"(M)en, women and children, yelling like fiends let loose, swarmed out of the narrow portal, to

Coulter is actually to the right of Trump.

She likes very much what he promised, she soured on him that he didn’t as much of what he promised as she thought he could especially on immigration.

I totally disagree with her on that. Given the incessant hounding by the Rats and the media and the lack of support by his own party he did a herculean job and got a lot done. No other person would have lasted a year under such a barrage. It’s rather sad that she has no appreciation for that.

Yes, but I think her basic argument is that he could have went about it in a more positive, effective way, in terms of bringing more folks in from the center and even left of center. Although his policies immensely helped people of all categories, including blacks and hispanics, he likely scared away many due to his style and manner. I think he could and should have done everything that he did do, in terms of outing the biased leftist media, Lord knows they’ve gotten away with their crap for decades, but do it in a more serious and mature manner.

Likewise, his frequent exaggerations of the many accomplishments were totally unnecessary and even damaging. Why exaggerate at all when you’ve had so many genuine major accomplishments? It just gives his enemies the opportunity to jump on what he says and claim he’s not telling the (complete) truth, ignoring that most of it was in fact the truth. Why give the leftist slime balls ANY such opportunities.

Forgot to add that that was something I and probably lots of other people received via email some years ago. I didn’t write it myself.

Coulter is trying to take out Trump.

She’s not what she presents herself to be.

Trump is for America. Coulter is against Trump.

Got it?

That has absolutely nothing to do with your Coulter equals Soros statement. If someone says something against Trump, that doesn’t equal Soros. Binary thought is for animals and babies.

As for what I said earlier about her just basically wanting and hoping that Trump would tone it down a bit on the rhetoric, she herself has said more divisive and/or insulting things over the years than he ever has. And he at least aims it at the deserving fake news Leftist media and radical Dems.

Why did she come out publicly for Trump in 2016?
I recall her being openly mocked for saying Trump had the best chance,
Is that the 18-D chess you delusional folk speak of?

You mean you think Ann Coulter supports Trump? But that’s not true.

The right-left spectrum is obsolete.

The battle lines are MAGA vs nonMAGA.

Coulter, in opposing Trump, is nonMAGA. Otherwise known as globalist.

What I mean she’s nothing like Soros. As I mentioned earlier she supports the Trump policis (Trumpism), she’s just disappointed that he didn’t implement those promises as fast and as much as she wanted.

I think she’s a fool to think that anyone else would have done any better, or that Trumpism can be implemented without Trump. There isn’t anyone in the republican political horizon with the balls to do what he did or would have put up with what was thrown at Trump.

I think you and I generally agree about both Trump and Coulter, but I disagree that Coulter and Soros are the same - they’re polar opposites. One if for shutting down the borders the other for no borders.

I don’t believe Coulter really cares about any principles or policies, other than being paid.

Her public comments are more consistent with wanting to blunt the tip of the MAGA spear. His name is Donald Trump.
