Why the Left loathes Thanksgiving

[surada]

What doesn't the Left hate that is truly American?

It's a load of BS that Democrats don't like Thanksgiving. What an asinine thing to say.

lol no, they weren't. They were just weakened by disease to put up a decent fight at the time is all. The 'Civilized Tribes' wiped out other tribes all the time and were doing so long before any white people ever showed up. A few survived to tell the stories, most didn't.

No, they were not.

Are you not even aware that the waves of plagues that swept through the continent were well over 200 years before? And the groups like the tribes in the NE were never very warlike. The Iroquois alone were around 20,000. They could have wiped out the Pilgrims and other European settlements with ease if they wanted to.

No, all I see from you is clear racism, and an almost complete lack of knowledge of any of the tribal groups, or how they lived.

And the Algonquins, like the Council of Three Fires, Illinois Confederation, and over a dozen other such groupings did not "wipe out" other tribes. They had already largely settled into agricultural communities, and were not warlike. You seem to have them confused with groups like the nomads. The Lakota, the Crow, and many others that were still warlike and nomadic. And yes, they did fight those nomadic groups, just as tribes in Europe fought nomads that entered into their areas. But they did not "wipe them out", they simply had them move on somewhere else.

But since you are so adamant, what were the tribes that the Iroquois wiped out? The Miami? The Three Fires? What tribes did the Shoshone wipe out?

Come on, you made the claim. Now put up or shut up.

Wait, what am I saying. Racism needs no reason, they just hate. Must be all the inbreeding.

For the demonic Left,IMO, it's not GOD that they thank.

They thank their own god, Satan.

The Left loathes Thanksgiving.
But I have never heard one of them say that they are leaving the US.
They enjoy the fruits of living in America too much to leave it.
The truth is that the Left loathes the "Colonizers".
The "Colonizers" were the European Wasps who settled and founded the country and who wrote our constitution.
The Left has been using the term "colonizers" at lot lately.
You can hear Democrat Politicians using this term.
They are who the Left hates.
The Left's antipathy for Thanksgiving is really just thinly veiled cultural hatred.

Nov 21, 2018 · Thanksgiving is a patriarchal ritual in which white men and their subjugated marital slaves commemorate the mass execution of Indigenous People by consuming the living flesh of innocent animals. It is frankly shocking that any decent person still celebrates this “holiday” in 2018, but I suppose that’s to be expected.

[EvilCat Breath]

Actually, The Massachusetts Bay Colony (AKA, the original "Pilgrim Fathers") never had any armed conflicts with Wampanoag people.

They never had any conflict until 1638 when the Pequot came under attack from the Monaghan and Naragansett tribes affiliated with the Iroquois. The Pequot begged for help from their friends the whites. AAAANNNNdddd, we're off to the races.

No, they were not.

Are you not even aware that the waves of plagues that swept through the continent were well over 200 years before? And the groups like the tribes in the NE were never very warlike. The Iroquois alone were around 20,000. They could have wiped out the Pilgrims and other European settlements with ease if they wanted to.

No, all I see from you is clear racism, and an almost complete lack of knowledge of any of the tribal groups, or how they lived.

And the Algonquins, like the Council of Three Fires, Illinois Confederation, and over a dozen other such groupings did not "wipe out" other tribes. They had already largely settled into agricultural communities, and were not warlike. You seem to have them confused with groups like the nomads. The Lakota, the Crow, and many others that were still warlike and nomadic. And yes, they did fight those nomadic groups, just as tribes in Europe fought nomads that entered into their areas. But they did not "wipe them out", they simply had them move on somewhere else.

But since you are so adamant, what were the tribes that the Iroquois wiped out? The Miami? The Three Fires? What tribes did the Shoshone wipe out?

Come on, you made the claim. Now put up or shut up.

Wait, what am I saying. Racism needs no reason, they just hate. Must be all the inbreeding.

The Iroquois wiped out many tribes through warfare: the Hurons or Wendat, Erie, Neutral, Wenro, Tionontate, Susquehannock, Mahican and northern Algonquins whom they defeated and dispersed, some fleeing to neighboring peoples and others assimilated, routed, or killed.

I suggest you look into human migrations, and the collapse of the Mississippian Culture. I have already mentioned that in the past.

But to start with, the Iroquois did not "wipe out" any tribes. They forced any that tried to migrate into their territory to either return home or move elsewhere. Because just like the "waves of barbarians" that moved into Rome thousands of years earlier, the same thing was repeated in North America. One tribe pushes against another, which then pushes against another, etc, etc, etc. Although that time it was ultimately the Huns that started the pushing, and possibly even the Mongols before that (anthropologists are still arguing over the "Index case").

But we know that the major waves of migration was kicked off by the collapse of the Mississippian Culture. That is what caused a group from the lower Mississippi to eventually end up in the Dakotas. And predominantly most of the tribes on the continent were fairly peaceful, unless they had come into contact with one of those tribes from the Mississippian Diaspora. The farther you get from the center of that culture, the more peaceful the tribes were.

You are discussing tribes that were affected by that diaspora, as at least one tribe is known to have been nomadic and hostile, and after the Mississippian Culture imploded did go to the Great Lakes area. And as always happens, one tribe pushes another, which then pushes another. You talk about 1638, this started a couple of hundred years before that. And none of the groups you talk about were "wiped out". Simply encouraged to return to their home area and not push into theirs.

History somehow disagrees with you.
the Iroquois destroyed several confederacies and tribes through warfare: the Hurons or Wendat, Erie, Neutral, Wenro, Tionontate, Susquehannock, Mahican and northern Algonquins whom they defeated and dispersed, some fleeing to neighboring peoples and others assimilated, routed, or killed.

Christmas Queens and Disrespect for Marriage The Criminalization of Christianity Continues Apace​

Illustration by Alexander Hunter / The Washington Times. By Robert Knight We’ve had a very serious setback this past week in the cause of freedom, courtesy of a dozen “woke” Republican senators. But first, we’ll begin with a bit of pop culture that speaks to where we are as a nation. Sad to say, Mariah Carey won’t be able to trademark “Queen of Christmas.” Yes, in time, we will get over this. The ubiquitous songbird, whose “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is piped everywhere, tried to monopolize the title legally. She wanted to use “Queen of Christmas” and even “QOC” on a wide range of products, from skin care to dog leashes. Alas, Ms. Carey’s plan was foiled when fellow singer Elizabeth Chan, who focuses exclusively on Christmas, objected to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Those grinches told Ms. Carey last Tuesday that she couldn’t be the only Queen of Christmas. Somewhere, Lucy Van Pelt of Peanuts fame, who identifies as the Christmas Queen, is probably celebrating Ms. Chan’s victory. Since we live in an age of excess and gender confusion, Ms. Chan’s attorney, Louis W. Tompros, exuberantly declared that the “‘Queen of Christmas’ on radio stations can be a new person every year. Man or woman, whatever they want, anyone is the ‘Queen of Christmas.’” Anyone? How about the late Jimmy Durante, who memorably voiced “Frosty the Snowman?” Or Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole or Andy Williams? Making a man “Queen of Christmas” doesn’t even raise eyebrows anymore in a culture that is in full rebellion against nature and nature’s God. It’s why we saw a U.S. Senate vote this past week that would have been unthinkable even a few years ago. The Democrat-dominated chamber, aided by 12 Republicans led by Utah’s Mitt Romney, voted Wednesday to end debate on the oxymoronically named Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404). The bill, which overturns the federal Defense of Marriage Act and codifies the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, had already passed the House with 47 “woke” Republicans voting yes. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer permitted no debate or discussion before the vote but allowed a fake religious “exemption.” It apparently fooled leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which inexplicably endorsed the bill. Mormons bankrolled campaigns to protect man-woman marriage but have now joined the cultural wrecking crew. The selling point is that nonprofit institutions (read: churches) can opt out of “solemnization or celebration” of same-sex nuptials. That’s it. So, for now, your pastor, priest or rabbi won’t go to jail for declining to officiate a marriage made in Sodom. But they had better not talk about what the Bible teaches. And what about people who hold traditional but non-faith-based views of marriage? Under this profoundly misleading and dangerous bill, the government can bring the full weight of the civil rights enforcement apparatus down on people merely for supporting man-woman marriage or failing to support same-sex unions. The Attorney General will be empowered to “bring a civil action in the appropriate United States district court against any person who violates subsection (a) for declaratory and injunctive relief." All that Merrick Garland’s goons will need is a complaint from an offended LGBTQ complainant. This will immediately imperil Christian schools, and anyone with a business related to weddings. We’ve already seen legal attacks on cake bakers, photographers and florists. An army of ACLU lawyers will be unleashed to harass hapless people who thought they lived in a free country. No wonder Mr. Schumer wanted it rushed through without examination. The bill has to go to the floor for final passage and then back to the House for a final vote. Senators need to be educated that this is not about love, compassion, tolerance or defeating “hate.” It’s a blunt instrument for totalitarian control over people of faith. All human beings are created in God’s image and human life is sacred. Everyone should be treated with respect and compassion. But this isn’t the same as forcing people to bless and promote all behaviors or lie about what they know to be true. As part of the deception, the bill also bars discrimination against mixed-race marriages, a non-issue since the Supreme Court’s Loving v. Virginia ruling in 1967. By wrapping the same-sex marriage claim around the legitimate takedown of miscegenation laws, the bill hijacks the moral capital of the civil rights movement. In addition to Mr. Romney, Republicans voting to advance the bill were: Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Thom Tillis and Richard Burr of North Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Todd Young of Indiana and Joni Ernst of Iowa. How many North Carolinians will be happy when they figure out that their two Republican senators are helping to set in motion a persecution machine aimed at them? How about in deeply conservative West Virginia? I can’t help but think that if the “red wave” had actually materialized on Nov. 8, that some of these Republicans would have thought twice before helping Democrats pull in this Trojan horse.​

The double standard and intellectual dishonesty is amazing actually. The same people who turn a blind eye to the millions illegally swarming over our southern border, who are totally unconcerned about the very real dangers for those people as well as the dangers to the American people from some who are coming in as well as depletion of dwindling resources, now are the ones who condemn the Pilgrims as evil 'colonizers.'

Those Pilgrims arrived with insufficient supplies and no help from the British government. Almost 50% of them died of cold and starvation that first winter. They sought liberty, especially religious liberty, from an oppressive and authoritarian British government and intended no harm to anybody in this mostly unpopulated new land.

After their first bountiful harvest that allowed them and those who survived that winter and who followed to survive and thrive, they held a Thanksgiving Feast to give thanks to God. Trying to destroy that symbolism and legacy is one more way the fascist Marxist opportunists use to destroy American culture and re-establish it in their fuzzy and unworkable concept of a new world order.
