What?
Thanksgiving Proclamation
Issued by President George Washington, at the request of Congress, on October 3, 1789
By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and—Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favor, able interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other trangressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
Go. Washington
You have no idea how vicious modern day Liberals are when it comes to attacking freedom of religion, do you?

Are you illiterate? If so who posts for you? You STILL don't get it. None of this has anything whatsoever to do with "Liberalism".
And your YouTube vid tells me nothing. It appears to be some kind of satire without a reference to what it's lampooning but if that was supposed to be your reference to "stoning to death", then I already have my answer on your reading comprehension.
But you have a nice day and stay ignorant if that's what your comfort zone is. No need to aim any higher when you have your fellow echo travellers to keep you stupid. I'll just keep my sigline.
That video is not satire. It really happen and the scumbag was serious.
I don't think you really even understand the point you were trying to make.
If your point was that classical "Liberals"
should support freedom of religion then you are correct.
However, if your point was that the idiots nowadays that call themselves Liberals support freedom of religion then you are very wrong. They are the ones leading the attack against freedom of religion.
Keep your religion on the sidewalks, or in the churches, where it belongs. This is business.
Al Sharpton, is that you????
No, it's a message from a real Liberal, like those who founded this not-Christian country you live in.
