Virtue signaling elites like Markey or the Globe always trash the country, but miraculously never step aside to right the wrongs they bleat about. And there is no one more old white bread than Markey.

The Indians suffered from gender confusion??? Did they have transsexual Indians in those days? They didn’t do the surgery did they?

“Why doesn’t any of these asshats ever talk about how brutal and savage Native Americans were among themselves? “

Because that’s ok it was Native against native. Just like blacks are allowed to use the N-word.

Revisionist historical declarations are a keynote technique used by these communists...

This post brings to mind a couple of truisms that have endured for over a century...

The only good injun is a dead injun...

The only good communist is a dead communist...

LOL

Sorry Natives attacked each other and slavery was common for the victors.

They also chose poorly in wars. French and Indian, Revolutionary War, 1812.

They got their asses kicked because of poor choices and their atrocities on each other and then Americans.

I read two versions of the Pilgrim story on the same day:

And the Malarky one:

Did I misspell his name?

"It doesn’t appear that this self-righteous asswipe is giving any of his land back to the natives." Exactly. In fact Malarky is building a case of reparations where money is stolen from the Massachusetts citizen and paid to the Indians. Of course Malarky will make sure some of that money is funneled into his pockets.

CORRECTION:

‘Zinn-Alinsky-Soros History of Thanksgiving’ Is ‘Atrocities Committed Against Native Americans’

A few years ago there was a Freeper who posted about his ancestors who lived in Deerfield, MA. His g.g...grandmother and other relatives were abducted by indians and taken to Canada.

Many early colonists were enslaved by indians. Maybe we should ask Markey for reparations.

Sen Markey still owns his childhood home in "working class" Malden, MA (left), but utility and other records show he is rarely there....he spends most of his time in a grander, less-than-working-class home in the Rolling Hills section of Chevy Chase, MD (right), where I suspect few of the Wampanoag people can be found.

White guilt-ridden losers like Markey gain a masochistic pleasure in beating themselves senseless for the sin of being white.

Indians were called “Redskins” (but not as racist slur at first) but Markey is called “Commie Red” with jurification. He was always opposed to any US foreign policy to contain communism, to build up our military to at least par with that of the Soviet Union ( now, Red China), and was in the far-left factions in the Democrats in Congress.

Some of his record can be found at www.keywiki.org and possibly www.DiscoverTheNetwork.com

The only part of our flag that he likes are the red stripes.

All good questions. Not positive, but since the Globe stated the Indians “struggled” with “environmental devastation,” “police brutality,” and “genocide,” I figured there must have been some gender dysphoria going on too.

Thanksgiving wasn’t even about native Americans. It was about the constitution. Simply read Washington’s proclamation.

What we’ve all been taught is a part of the history: The Pilgrims came, they almost starved, the Indians taught them how to survive, and they had a big feast. All true. But it’s the tip of the iceberg.

The Puritans were being persecuted in Britain by the Church of England. They decided to get out. They first went to the Netherlands. After several years there, they decided to go to the New World for religious liberty.

They found some sponsors for their journey, who made William Bradford, their leader, sign a contract. It provided that every Pilgrim would get one share in a common store and they would all work for the community. (They would own nothing and be happy.)

They arrived at Plymouth Rock in 1620. Between the journey and that harsh first winter, about 44 of the original 100 settlers died. Including Governor Bradford’s wife.

The Native Americans taught them how to plant corn and fish, but according to Governor Bradford’s notes, even the most industrious didn’t work very hard at it. After all, why work so hard when you’re only going to get the same amount as the ones who don’t? Why expend all that effort for other people’s families when they’re not willing to expend the effort for themselves? So Governor Bradford changed the system.

Bradford assigned each family a plot of land and told them to work it as they saw fit, and they could keep the proceeds or trade it or sell it or give it away, if they chose. (Does this sound familiar?)

Well, they thrived. They produced an abundance of food and goods. Probably more than they could figure out what to do with. In gratitude to God, they had a big community feast to use and share all they had produced, and they invited the Indigenous to thank them for their help (and as a gesture of friendship.)

The original system in which everyone worked for the collective failed. It almost starved them to death. The new system, which incentivized producing as much as you wanted, produced an abundance they had to share.

Accordingly, one of the things I am grateful for today is Governor Bradford’s decision to abandon the failing collectivism of the original Compact and adopt a system based on incentive, which gave rise to an abundance we still enjoy.
