Thanksgiving

Today is "Thanksgiving" here in the USA. A day to celebrate all the good things given us.

Rarely do we hear anything negative about this national holiday.

It was different some 50 or so years ago. Back then may Catholic priests would rail against Thanksgiving from the pulpit, claiming it was a Protestant "invention" in opposition to Christmas. I sat through many of those tirades as a child.

At the same time, many Protestant denominations still do not celebrate Christmas.

So, all this "conservative" "War on Christmas" crap is just total bull.

Today various Roman Catholics, Protestants, Mormans, etc. -- groups that hated each other not that long ago -- unite in opposition to LGBT rights and marriage.

Just think how much so many of the "religious" are threatened by gay men and lesbians when they are willing to put aside years of hatred to band with their enemies, absolute sworn enemies.

Oh! By the way. Happy Thanksgiving!
