Have a Cute and Happy Thanksgiving!   

Thanksgiving roots

''Humility demands that we understand that we owe everything we have - from straight teeth and good or bad health to social and religious traditions or roots - to our ancestors.''

Thanksgiving is about roots. Have you ever thought about it that way? I don't think I have. Not until this year.
When you look at the various attacks by secular progressives against American and Western European societies, isn't our roots what the attacks are designed to destroy? The feminists and gays want to do away with traditional marriage which eliminates family roots. The ACLU and secularists want to do away with religion which does away with the moral roots that have made our societies strong. One Worlders want to do away with national borders and that does away with the roots of our nation's sovereignty.
We need to hold on to our roots. They are the thing that keeps our society upright. A tree without them falls flat on its. trunk.

Evil does

''There is a fine line between faith and foolishness, between tolerance and timidity. The left's rhetoric of acceptance, charity and justice is every bit as fraudulent as it was when Lenin and Castro were spewing it. In 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul advises Christians not to be "unequally yoked" with nonbelievers. Neither can Americans afford to do so pertaining to villains and fools for one more day.'' It occurred to me that the Thanksgiving holiday might be an appropriate time to consider those things for which Americans have to be thankful in light of the many that we are, at present, in danger of losing.
Many younger Americans have a somewhat different take on Thanksgiving and its origins than do those who are older. In education and popular culture, there has been a de-emphasis on religious overtones and an introduction of multicultural, generic "harvest festival" concepts concerning those celebrated at this time of year, throughout history and around the world. Although the "first Thanksgiving" (celebrated by the Plymouth community and Native Americans of the Wampanoag tribe in 1621) was once related to grade school students as a festival of gratitude and brotherhood, contemporary academic edification now carries implications of attendant massacres, genocide and the seeds of later indoctrination into the innate evil of Europeans, capitalism and the American paradigm in general.
There are very few on either side of the political spectrum who believe that those whose destiny it was to shape this nation were wholly virtuous people; however, millions of Americans still acknowledge that they were participating in something bigger than they were and something that was, in the greater part, good.

The administration of President Obama, folks such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Rep. Barney Frank and the Democratic leadership in Congress are participating in something bigger than they are as well – but it is anything but good. They are currently engaged in the process of dismantling the superstructure of our nation, which has been the most fruitful, dynamic and just system yet devised, and replacing it with a soulless monolith that has proven itself to be morally, spiritually and economically stultifying everywhere similar structures have been erected. In it, people such as the above and their collaborators will rule rather than govern, and those who are now seeking positive change and competent leadership from them will discover that they have chosen nothing less than tyranny. It is both heartrending and horrifying that they have around half of America's electorate convinced that their intentions are good, but that in which they are engaging is patently evil.
Yes – evil. I've said it before, and no doubt I'll say it again – a term which the aforementioned half of America has been conditioned to believe is a relative one. The evil of which I speak is illustrated by, among many other things, the wholesale degree of deception and the conspiratorial method by which these parties are operating.

A Thanksgiving prayer

 

''If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.''

Thank You, Lord, for allowing me to live in the greatest country in the world – one where we as citizens are permitted to live in freedom, to speak our minds, to debate the great issues of the day openly and without fear, and, most of all, to worship You and to tell others about You and Your Gospel of saving grace and redemption.
We as Americans take all this for granted too often.
Yet, from the earliest commemorations of Thanksgiving here in America, this was the common denominator that brought people of the New World together.
I'm so thankful to be part of a country where worshipping You is not a crime – yet.
I'm thankful we have the opportunity to tell others about You.
I'm thankful You have blessed this land in so many ways.
I'm thankful for the way You chastise this land and judge it with leaders unworthy of this nation's great heritage but who are, in Your wisdom, necessary to correct us and reveal our iniquities.
I'm thankful for Your patience with Americans, who, despite their countless blessings, do not often recognize from where they come.
I'm thankful we have abundant food today – that we get to celebrate this solemn occasion in the warmth of our homes, with our families and friends.
I'm thankful we have such abundance that we can share it with those less fortunate, not just here in our homeland, but around the world....I'm thankful for all the people who hear and read this prayer of gratitude and understand what I am trying to convey. I'm thankful for all of them who remember You today – the meaning, the reason for Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for all of them who put You first, who humble themselves, and pray, and seek Your face, and turn from their wicked ways.
I'm thankful to You today, Lord, that You honor Your promises.
I'm thankful today, Lord, for You.

Black Friday Is for Suckers You Fool

Netbooks, e-book readers, and other post-Thanksgiving bargains to avoid.

Black Friday is a treacherous time. Lured in by the promise of fantastic bargains, you flock to local big-box retailers, facing the threat of injury or even death to grab unbelievably cheap "doorbuster" gizmos. Even if you manage to get through the day-after-Thanksgiving shopping bonanza without physical harm, there's a good chance you'll suffer financial damage if you don't plan ahead. As I pointed out last year, the biggest worry on Black Friday is that you'll buy stuff you don't need. For retailers, that's the entire point of Black Friday—they're hoping that, in your quest for bargains, you'll buy an electric toothbrush or radio-controlled rubber rat just because it's on sale. Aside from that general warning to keep your head, there are some categories that you should avoid entirely on Black Friday. Keep this list handy when you're fighting your way through an early-morning stampede...
