What a difference a man makes!
I never liked the turkey pardon thing. No matter who was doing it. If I was President I would use it as a time to give thanks to God for providing us with a bountiful nature and the food it provides - like this turkey.
And I would use it as a time to be straight-forward with the public. Just like all politics should be. Yes - we would still have turkey on the table in spite of me pardoning this turkey. What a farce. And instead of some unknown frozen butterball, this will be our turkey - and I give my respect to it, and thanks to God for providing it.
I’m sure it would make a much more meaningful meal for the first family.
Flame away!
Oh - and Happy Thanksgiving whether you are the Turkey, Ham, Goose or whatever variety!
