It's good that Prof. Limbaugh drags out this story and dusts it off every Thanksgiving, since it's a lesson that oft bears repeating.

Rush really just paraphrases what Governor Bradford had to say on this subject. Bradford was much stronger in his denunciation of socialist practices than Rush lets on.

I'd suggest that everyone go a Google Search on "Bradford", "Massachussetts", "common", and "condition".

You'll find the whole thing. It's a good read.

"Those who challenged ecclesiastical authority and those who believed strongly in freedom of worship were hunted down, imprisoned, and something executed for their beliefs."

That would have been some merrily executed for their beliefs if it had been Islam that was challenged

As a matter of fact this is what we were taught in Catholic School back in the fifties. Now of course the Church would be teaching the evil of Capitalism and the joys of Socialism.

I have never heard this history lesson. I do know that guilt trips were laid on my grand parents and yours about charity, and the liberals use to say please.

Now they have had it their way for far too long, so long that they don't say please, they say, you stole it somehow, and you owe it. Americans should be rejecting them at every turn, spitting them out like bad milk, and probably do, but now government ignores them and plays around with their votes.
