WH Call Participants Want To Change ‘Thanksgiving Day’ To ‘Celebrate Immigrants Day’
Western Journalism ^ | 3-7-15 | James Beattie

Posted on 03/07/2015 12:34:14 PM PST by afraidfortherepublic

A conservative political activist who participated in a conference call with the White House said President Obama should change Thanksgiving Day to a holiday dedicated to illegal immigrants.

Susan Payne of Maryland told radio talk show host Joe Miller on KOAN Wednesday this would be happening once this “amnesty mill” is complete. Miller was the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Alaska in 2010.

Earlier this week, the House passed legislation authorizing funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the end of the fiscal year. Inserted in that legislation is a provision to proceed with President Obama’s executive actions on amnesty, a highly contested issue on which the president ultimately prevailed.

“Once this is all finished, there should be another executive order that changes Thanksgiving to ‘Celebrate Immigrants Day.’” Payne said. “I was about ready to blow my top when I heard that.”

The activist told syndicated radio host Mark Levin in a previous interview earlier in the week the call was hosted by Cecilia Muñoz, assistant to the president and director of the Domestic Policy Council.

Payne, a contributor for radio station WCBM in Baltimore, said people called in from various places in the United States including Chicago, Los Angeles, and Vermont. Her impression of the call, as she described it on the air Wednesday, was: “How can we make life better for an illegal alien? And basically kicking the citizen out to the curb.”

Really?

Last time I checked Thanksgiving Day had already been easily usurped by the Chamber of Commerce, walmart, Macys and the rest of the money first brigade completely unopposed by supposed patriots and God fearing men

Hey, lets rename the old Marxist Central Labor Union holiday (labor day) "Go to the range" day!

Then we can rename May Day "Go to the range" day!

Cinco de Mayo? - "Go to the range" day!

Earth day / Lenin's birthday? - "Go to the range" day!

Want to go tomorrow? March 8th, Women's Day - "Go to the range" day!

Want to go again soon? The last Friday in April, Arbor Day - "Go to the range" day!

Ramadan? - "Go to the range" day!

Birthday of Muhammad? This year its 22 May 2016, and now it's "Go to the range" day!

Karl Marx birthday? Forget it, you already went to the range for Cinco de Mayo, same day. But hey, who knew May 5th was Marx's birthday, right? So take a friend.



So you see, two can play the destroy-a-culture game.

But by playing it this way the conservatives will win.

Then we can just go back to Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter...

They’re already talking about changing the currency from the Founders to left-wing activists and leaders. Transformation is underway folks, full speed ahead.

I have always enjoyed Thanksgiving Day.

However, note that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to establish vote-winning national holidays, the modern Thanksgiving Day holiday unsurprisingly signed into law by Constitution-ignoring socialist FDR.

In fact, consider that when it was President Thomas Jefferson’s turn to cave into religious political correctness by proclaiming a national day of fasting and prayer as his predecessors had done that he properly passed the buck to the states since it was a religious issue.

"Fasting & prayer are religious exercises. The enjoining them an act of discipline. Every religious society has a right to determine for itself the times for these exercises, & the objects proper for them, according to their own particular tenets; and this right can never be safer than in their own hands, where the constitution has deposited it.” — Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Miller

So although the traditional national Thanksgiving Day can only be changed by Congress if RINOs don’t cave into lawless Obama again, why don’t we keep the arguably constitutionally indefensible national Thanksgiving Day for the time being. But let's also work with state lawmakers to make 10th Amendment-protected state laws recognizing this holiday.

People had better start organizing to effectively resist the illegal Mexican influx or America is dead. Watch for the Mexican flag to be hoisted over our public buildings and gathering places. Any day now.
