Happy Thanksgiving!
Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as he has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience.
Now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the day time, on Thursday, November 29th, of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and twenty-three and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings.
–William Bradford

Is this where libruls come from? Is this how librul America haters get trained? Here’s what’s being taught in one of Puget Sound “best” school districts in high school:
I’ll bet you think Thanksgiving was started by the Pilgrims. Wrong. It was started by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War which was fought because Lincoln believed there was no more profit in slavery.
I’ll bet you thought the first Thanksgiving was in 1620. Nope, it was started in 1863 during the Civil War.
I’ll bet you thought Thanksgiving was about giving thanks to God because the pilgrims built some houses and had food to eat and a fire in the fireplace.
I’ll bet you thought they were hoping to cut down on the 50% death rate from the first winter. Nope, it’s about “ethnocentricism” and demeaning the indians as part of a larger program of “waging biological warfare”.
Here are some keywords that are taught about Thanksgiving: “Ethnocentricism”,
“marginalize”, and “ideology”. Essay question: “How does thanksgiving promote “ethnocentricism”.” These questions are on a worksheet that students have to answer per the article and turn in. Students either drink the kool aid or gets a
zero.
The teacher in this class went to Seattle University. SU is arguably one of the most kooky goofball liberal universities around. I know SU and its politics intimately; 3 of my 4 degrees are from SU. I’m educated enough, and informed
enough and mature enough to throw out the liberal bullshit that goes around on campus. But obviously Miss X drank the kool aid in order to get her teaching cert, and now here she is puking it back at innocent kids.
Don’t believe me? Read the source material here:

“Clueless” Glitter is in a heap of trouble.
The faded glam rocker, best known for the ubiquitous sports anthem “Rock and Roll Part II,” was arrested Saturday morning by Vietnamese immigration authorities on charges of child molestation as he tried to board a flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok, according to published reports.
From the Daou report:
“No matter how heartfelt, the arguments in favor of the Iraq war are almost always specious and riddled with fallacious reasoning. On a matter so grave, that should be unacceptable to the American people.”
THE STRAW MEN OF IRAQ: Ten Pro-War Fallacies
1. VIRTUALLY EVERYONE WHO SAW THE INTELLIGENCE BELIEVED SADDAM HAD WMD, THEREFORE BUSH IS BEING UNFAIRLY SINGLED OUT FOR CRITICISM
2. AFTER 9/11, WE CAN’T WAIT FOR THE THREAT TO MATERIALIZE BEFORE TAKING ACTION
3. DEMOCRATS “VOTED FOR” AND THUS “SUPPORTED” THE WAR
4. TALK OF WITHDRAWAL “SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE” AND “EMBOLDENS THE ENEMY”
5. A WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ WOULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES
6. WITHDRAWING FROM IRAQ IS TANTAMOUNT TO “CUTTING & RUNNING”
7. WE’RE FIGHTING THEM ‘THERE’ SO WE DON’T HAVE TO FIGHT THEM HERE
8. DEMOCRATS DON’T HAVE A PLAN FOR IRAQ, THEY’RE JUST ATTACKING BUSH TO SCORE POLITICAL POINTS
9. HISTORY WILL VINDICATE BUSH
10. ISN’T IT A GOOD THING THAT SADDAM IS GONE?
Recognize any of these?

Hey…I resemble that remark.
No, this is not evidence of a “liberal utopia” (whatever that might mean) failing. Instead, it seems to show that people are frustrated with some aspects of their system, which is not unusual in countries providing universal health care, although they remain conflicted about solutions including privatization:
“A majority of Canadians believe it would create a two-tier system (68%), lead to a shortage of physicians in the public system (61%) and increase costs (58%), but more Canadians also believe it would result in shorter wait times (68%) and improve the quality of their treatment (60%).”

I have alway said that we can always learn a lot from our neighbors up north. We can learn how not to do things. They do hockey and ginger ale right though, but not much else.
Rufus – You are correct. No person and no country are ever completely useless no matter how bad they are. Countries like Canada, and people like Ted Kennedy can always be used as a bad example.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Just watch “Black Hawk Down”. An alful lot of Democrat black voters died. Can they still vote for Kerry and Hillary even if they are died and live in the Horn of Africa? If we don’t count their vote we can always scream “racism”!!!!
Democrats: domestic terrorist traitors!!!
If we close the Mexican border, how will the Democrats get new voters? I figure the Libs need to bring in another 10 to 15 million illegals to win the next election.
The parasites soon will outnumber the private sector taxpayers. At that point the system breaks down as the Democrats vote themselves free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Atlas has Shrugged.

Comment by Dr. E— 11/22/05 @ 9:06 pm
Dr. E they have the same system in France, Germany, England, Belguim, and other countries. The problem is the customers are in the unemployment lines looking for a job, because the corporation out source their jobs due to high Taxs. Now the customers have lots of time to wait for their care. Idle countrymen can provoke trouble, like cars burning in the streets. Right now the Germans and French are running scared that the indigenous folks will revolt and remove their heads. Pink countries are having some real challenging times on how to fix out of control society. Dr E they could use your help, why not plan a trip to France and provide them some great advice.
Seoul, South Korea – A North Korean dissident yesterday spoke of the horror of life as a political prisoner in the communist dictatorship. Kim Chol-soo, who survived the prison camp at Yodok, about 70 miles north-west of Pyongyang, said he saw a former defector beaten to death for contacting Christian representatives in China and also witnessed the deaths of many inmates due to hard labour and lack of food. [This is a lie, as North Korea is the perfect Hillary Village. Lots of government health care, housing, and government controlled food distribution.] [hehe]

Raise your right hand if you like the French … raise both hands if you are French.
Comon Mr C. The French have produced some of the most tastiest tarts ever. You can take that to the bank. Wait a minute we are talking about France here. You can take that to the unemployment line.
The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced after the London bombings that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to Hide. The only two higher levels in France are
Surrender and Collaborate. The rise in the alert level was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.
French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney
> (AP), Paris, March 5, 2003
The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris, caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists.
> Steve Fredrickson
Just think if that pilgrim had shot a cat you would all be eating pussy on Thanksgiving.Just food for thought.
“Dr E they could use your help, why not plan a trip to France and provide them some great advice.”
Actually, the French have a health care system that is more cost-efficient than ours while still delivering a similar level of care, so I don’t think they need our help.
“No person and no country are ever completely useless no matter how bad they are.”
You’re right Mark. North Korea and Dick Cheney are both bad. Really bad. Really, really bad. And they make excellent bad, bad, and evil examples.
What is it with the right wing’s fascination with France?
Dr. E, I suppose that since now the right wing is going down the toilet faster than PuddyBud’s wife’s last dinner, they are deperate to find a new “enemy”.
And also the French are very sexually open, and the deep seated homosexual urges that all the right wingers have, and (try to) keep bottled up, just makes for a dangerous cocktail of cognitive dissonance.

“I know SU and its politics intimately; 3 of my 4 degrees are from SU.”
Gee Mark, when did you figure out you don’t like SU? Did you have an epiphany while working on your 5th degree?
P.S., it sounds like you were a professional student in addition to being a gambling debt welsher. Did you sit out Vietnam at SU? How many deferments did you get? Can you beat Cheney’s 5 deferments?

WTF are you and WTF are you talking about?

“Ah, Mark the Redneck is back”
Does this mean Goldy didn’t whack him for welshing on the bet?
When MTR disappeared for a few days, I assumed his feet were in a tub of concrete, and he had 6,000 feet of Pacific Ocean over his head.
Rog–
It’s probably not too wise to provoke MTR too much.
He has a killer Rabbit Stew recipe…and all the fixins’ except for the meat!
Hey Mark the Redneck,
Did you send in $100 contribution to Maria Cantwell in fulfillment of your bet with Goldy?
If not, don’t come back until you do!
Ah Neo-Cons… Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without… Er. Scratch that.
Ah, Neo-Cons. Can’t live with ’em.
Cynical,
You jest about the French and their mistresses, but they are serious about them. I spent on time on a airfield in Tirana, Albania and the French Army was there doing humanitarian assistance. The French Army has great field rations, very tasty, much better than MRE’s. The French men looked great too! Especially considering the fact that we were in BDU’s, flak jackets, LBE, Kevlars, rifles, and they were lazing around in cut-offs and sleeveless T-shirts, and did I forget to mention that they have prostitutes in their camp with them??????? Oh yes, they did! They didn’t leave home without them!
Stuckonstupiddon@47: The wife said ignore the stupid one. So we are. IQ and commonsense rating double yours.
Sgmmac, were the prostitutes French or Albanian? If they were Albanian, was payment in Francs? I bet not. Typical cheap bastards French Men.
DR E., My older sister and family lived in Paris for 4.5 years. They moved to England for the next four. They said the British medicinal system outshined the French hands down. Since she lived through it, what’s your experience from afar?
Ah, Puddly one. I knew the post about rightwing repressed homosexuality would really push your button! Remember to lock that closet door!
Goldy,
Why not tell your readers about a Tim Eyman vs. Rep. Ross Hunter (D-48) debate coming up on Dec 2nd in Bellevue? The topic is the Role of Government in Our Lives. More info is on: http://www.fccbellevue.org/news/forums/

A: But sir Frog, that is part of our religion!
F: This is France and French do not wear head scarf. C’est Tout!

Bullshit. The web site works just fine. You are either too stupid to follow directions, or are willfully not filling it out correctly.
In either case, you have not discharged you betting debt. There was no clause in your bet giving you an out for having “problems” with a web site. Nothing is stopping you from mailing in a contribution (see the address at the top of her web site).
Don’t be an asshole about it. Just be a man and pay up!
