Thanksgiving.... marking America's "honorable" beginning?

Man's humanity toward his fellow man, it never ceases to amaze me. Righteous morals, religious tolerance, common goal. That's a pipe dream worth smoking.

Americas beginnings are not really much different from any other countries in the world today. Research some ancient European history. For every country that exists today, somebody else was pushed aside or killed, or subjected to get the land. Very few countries in the world are inhabited by the original people. Get over it

Do you really think if we had not taken America over that no one else would have? Try getting into the real world! France, Spain, and Russia, all wanted it. If we had not landed, it would be another territory of another country. Most likely like Canada is today. Either way the original Indians were pushed out by the Indians we pushed out. They fought over with each other before anything white landed here.

I get a little tired of the American bashing everytime someone throws an olive branch. We are not the perfect nation, but, we are and always will be the best damn nation you got in this mixed up crazy world. For those who think we should give this country , or pieces of it, back to the Indians, then what ? We cannot undo what has already been done, that goes for the Indians, as well as reparation for the African American. We need all to make it a better country , not slice and dice it into 50 small countries.

I thank God for our country , for better or for worse. God bless our country and all the legal citizens in it.

you're curiously too youthful to save in ideas the strains at gas stations, on even/extraordinary days, to pay for, then overpriced gas. perchance you neglected the recessions of the 80's, or both circumstances disputes over the federal funds presented D.C. to a screeching halt. Chris Dodd and Barney Frank did not reliable arm each person into making risky loans. The banks and fiscal establishments did that on their personal. The heritage of banking contained in the U. S. is replete with playing of investors' money.

"Striking a sound and sturdy relationship with the Indians"?

Talk about spin, you didn't mention the total destruction of the Indian nations that were here at the time. But of course the winners always rewrite history.

If I thought you your being serious, I'd advise you to read original documentation on the real story of the 1st Thanksgiving rather than the current spin from the apologists, but since you're not being serious...

Alcohol for tobacco...one killer for another...who was the winner in that deal?

Do I detect a touch of liberal sarcasm, lets just keep that in academia! GOD BLESS!

No the origins of thanksgiving begin with giving thanks for massacuring American Indians! We call it massacure day
