Enjoy Thanksgiving. After that comes nameless, faceless, P.C. drab “holiday,” formerly known as Christmas. As in have you started your holiday list or holiday shopping yet?

Wheeling WV comes from either an Algonquian or Iroquoian word for “place of the killing, or scalping or skinning or murdered horribly” implication is always that it was people who were killed. I have seen it explained using all those meanings. Clearly its a place where a lot of people died badly! The natives called it that before the whites ever showed up. So who died then, had to be natives killing natives. The were annihilated completely by the Iroquois.

Another case of a stupid, miserable liberal trying to make everyone as wretched as she is.

Is she aware that the first Thanksgiving was an occasion of comity between settler and tribesman? Or is it that she is more interested in fostering resentment than in celebrating us all getting along? Or is He to Whom we give thanks the problem?
Clearly someone is being insensitive here but I don't think it's the people who want to celebrate. It's the same old tired line from the Left: "happiness is complacency, you should be angry and miserable like me." Not for me, thank you. I wonder, can I say "thank you" without getting yelled at?

MA = Romney = 0pansyCARE = Death Panels = Loss of Liberty = the USSKA where Pelosi is your Mom, and Reid is your daddy.
I pray that I never see the day that this happens.
God save our Country.

I don’t know much about Massachusetts, but in my state the school board decides what days the kids go to school.
How can a Middle school principal pick what days kids get to stay home?
If all the kids show up in costume, will she send them all home?

“This crap about Columbus arriving here and destroying some sort of paradise is exactly that- crap.”
Don’t you know that if Columbus hadn’t made his trip the North and South American continents would never have been discovered? Then it would have been all puppies and rainbows for the stone age savages that lived there.

May you and your ‘goblins’ have a Happy Halloween and a very thankful, Thanks Giving. Carve those pumpkins.
Also, my Family, while decorating the tree, I insist, and always win the ensuing fight, to watch the silly movie, Christmas Vacation starring the silly Chevy Chase. I always cry like a babe when he is stuck in the attic. Just a great day and a great tradition.
May God Bless you and yours Allegra. May God Bless you with happy memories. Redshawk.
Happy every holiday.

I always confront liberals with this terrible proposition- what do they think would have happened if Genghis Khan or Tamerlane would have found their way to the Americas instead? Or, perhaps the gentle ministrations of someone like Selim the Grim? Or darlings of the left like Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Mao Tse-tung, Zhou Enlai, Idi Amin, Che Guevara, Robert Mugabe, Jorge Acosta, Pol Pot.......

This is about disconnecting Americans from their history.
Then they will disconnect Americans from the land itself.
The Left isn't protecting the envirnoment by preventing drilling, they're hoarding the resources until the Americans are ousted from the land, and then they'll exploit the oil for their own purposes.

Then they will disconnect Americans from the land itself. I notice the school's calendar of events for November lists "Islamic New Year", right after Thanksgiving. How odd that Principal Dumbass didn't include that in her memo.
