Thought for Thanksgiving

The holiday was born from a cooperative effort between the native Americans and the colonists. The colonists were unable to grow crops or adequately live off the land. They were dying in large numbers when one native American and his tribe decided to help the colonists by teaching them how to survive. After the colonists learned to grow crops and were no longer threatened with dying off for lack of sustenance, our November holiday was born. The colonists and the native Americans got together in the fall to celebrate the harvest.

Imagine, if you will, that you could go back in time and explain to that one native American what we'd become. Can you imagine the perplexed look on his face as you explain to him what a Democrat would be? "They'll believe in celebrating 'diversity' and will constantly point out to you that your skin color is not the same as someone else's, therefore they will need to treat everyone differently in order to treat everyone equally."
