I'd love to see President Trump serve another term. The chances of that look very slim. Hopefully, the Senate will remain Republican-majority and, if President, Biden will stay away from Leftism.
There is so much for which we should be thankful.
Personally,
I have so many things for which to be thankful it would take me all day
to list them. I thank Jesus Christ for what He did and what He
continues to do – He's my Lord and Savior. I thank the saints for
persevering in handing down the faith. I thank those brave souls who
established this Union. I thank our military men and women for
preserving this nation. I thank my ancestors for making the difficult
journeys to American soil. I thank my parents for birthing and raising
and supporting me. I thank my wife for marrying me and birthing and
mothering my children. I
could go on and on, but I won't.
Some Leftists go into
their theatrics this time of year, braying about how horrible it was for
Europeans to bring western civilization to the Americas. It makes me
wonder why the ones in the U.S.A. who are European ancestry haven't
moved to Europe.
This idea that the native peoples
living here (who, by the way, were also newcomers at one time) were all
peaceful and noble and that the Europeans who settled here were
horrible, evil people who always mistreated the natives is ridiculous.
All over the world, people have been overtaken and either killed off or
integrated. Yet only in certain parts of the English-speaking world is
the integration portrayed as evil and celebrating anything remotely
connected to it is stopped.
But notice that the Normans
didn't give the Anglo-Saxons any sovereign territory, nor casino
operation exemptions. Such concessions are not typical of victorious
peoples.
Don't let the Leftists take away Thanksgiving. Celebrate proudly.
It
is time for us to pause and consider that there is much for which we
should be thankful, and we should thank Him. If you're not inclined to
do that, then consider all of the people in your life who have been
there along the way, providing emotional support, friendship, guidance,
and goods and services.
The modern American
Thanksgiving meal is an overly bountiful one, a testament to
how somewhat free markets and capitalism have produced plenty. From the
farmer to the importer to the grocer, participants in the market have
allowed us to splurge.
I bid you a safe, pleasant, and reflective Thanksgiving Day.
