If we can’t enjoy Thanksgiving with out worries of the world, and be thankful what God has blessed us with rather than pig out a full feast we can, we’re going down the wrong road! It won’t be Thanksgiving at all! L.P.L.
If you are in a family that can’t celebrate a holiday like thanksgiving ( sitting down and breaking bread with persons you supposedly love ) and being thankful for the gifts god and good fortune have giving you, THAT is a PROBLEM. If we can’t respectfully opine and give others the opportunity to do the same, as a country we are headed down a dark road. This problem if allowed to continue is the first nail in the coffin of free speech. Without free speech ALL IS LOST.
someone said, “family is God’s way of teaching you how to live with people you don’t like.” When people’s ‘opinions’ are baseless,made up talking points, that involve zero thought, it’s hard to have a conversation. You aren’t going to change their mind. Might s well have fun aggravating them.;-)
STAY away from all political discussions if even one person is likely to disagree.
Makes no sense to discuss turkeys in our political system while enjoying a wonderful Turkey dinner.
I come from a ALL democratic party family. Gotta say regardless of the mess Biden put all of us in. They stick together even if our economy SUCKS, gas prices SUCKS, etc. I didn’t hear them complaining when Trump was benefitting Americans.
It’s the Democrat Way. ;-)
Get real! Our society is functionally hypnotized and literally brainwashed using NLP and other techniques by our educational institutions, our media including the majority of Hollywood and developing since Nixon, our current governing institutions! People use to call blatant untruths, lies. Then it was spinning. Then “They” got so good they openly referred to the lyers as spin doctors. Now even our governing officials just plain lie and if you don’t like it tough shit. We are under the governance of clearly Anti-American leaders. At some point we will tip to one side or the other and we will pay the Devil to get back our United States of America. “Wake up people!”, is all you can say! and Vote EVEN IF IT DOESN’T COUNT !!!
It’s impossible to talk or have any meaningful political discussions with a liberal there’s only two viewpoints thanks to the dumbing down of our schools if you’re white, your privileged and if you’re of color, your a victim. This is pure insanity and stupidity….
Our educational institutions have been training “followers” for decades! Teachers unions should be banned! Won’t happen but it would help our country!
I started my thanksgiving day by going to my Church and thanking my Saviour for dying on the cross for me and all believers and for giving me a believing family. Then celebrated with that family by having a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings. WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!
In the same room with fifteen or so people who have spent over a million dollars on education and not one of them can articulate a rational conviction regarding a man with dementia who was fraudulently-elected. It is just maddening to see this and difficult to be around such ignorance.
No political talk today. We had friends and family over, plus 3 great grandchildren who kept everyone busy and entertained. Our thanks were shared to our Heavenly Father for this blessed day.
We just enjoy being together and appreciate all of our blessings!
That takes less than fifteen seconds, what do you do after that?
I have passionate spiritual and political views, but can express them without demeaning or attacking those with opposing opinions so I am for discussing any topic at the Thanksgiving table.
…until you get a taste of what they ‘bring to the table’…
Just.
Say.
‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO‘…
Each and every human in this country, and around the world, should have an expression of their own opinion, whether it be political personal, and have the right of expression and their beliefs
…and then Ken’s mother woke him up…
Quite so. The problem I find often is the Democrats are so forceful with their rhetoric, they won’t allow other opinions to be spoken.
It is a shame that discussions can not take place without emotion & fear overwhelming the situation.
Yea…it’s also a shame that we have what we have too…
Personally, I don’t care what side of the political isle other people are on. We are all entitled to our opinion’s and beliefs. That’s what makes us individuals! Fortunately our family lean on conservatism. But still during any Holiday gatherings, we try to keep the politics to a minimum and rather enjoy each other’s company!!!
…ahuh…
The late Johnny Carson said it best (paraphrasing):
‘Thanksgiving is that time of the year where you remember why you only get together once a year…’
Many people just echo the crap they are led to believe by the major networks. I don’t want to fight what they believe is “fair and balanced” coverage.
Hence, another reason to save time/money/gas/wear & tear and not go where that sort of garbage is preached…
Thanksgiving has lost so much meaning due to hate and ignorance from every angle. I do not get invited to family gatherings because of my known Conservative values. I do not bring anything political to bear but yet I am chastised. I cannot show my disgust for their ignorance. I just remain alone. I have no children and now in my 70s that is out of the question. I went to Vietnam in 1970 and when I came home the world was against us. I was happy to be home with people I grew up with and thought were my friends. Not so much. One girl I had dated before my service told me that it was too bad that I came home! I reenlisted and served on a destroyer in the North Atlantic, did NOT come home agai for many years. Only my sister talks to me from time to time.
I have so much to be thankful for?
For what it’s worth John, as a fellow military man and a brother in arms, I salute you.
Thank you for your service. The “gubmint” treats so many of its veterans as if we’re nothing more than spent shell casings. Hold the line, hold on to your values, stay strong.
For starters…
I don’t know Miss Donna personally, but from reading her posts, I find she possesses good values, has shown some spunk and she is a woman of Faith. I will gladly have her on my team any day of the week.
(Even you, if you can find it within you to dial back the sarcasm a little)
…and yet you go down the punch list of what you ‘know’ about her…
I’ll take ‘Contradictions’ for $10, Art…
So you believe…
So have I…but apparently that’s not allowed if I don’t toe the company ‘group think’…
So she says…
‘Lonely Hearts’ columns are just chock-full of ‘believers’ like this…
Dial it back to the point that I say whatever the ‘group think’ says?
Uhhhhh…no thanks…
Sorry Dave,
m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mme2Aya_6Bc
Bet you’re more sorry that it doesn’t make any sense…
Do you and Joe Biden room at the same VA hospital?
Made you look. . . .Dave :-)
Yea, blogs are made for that I guess…
One would expect to learn something from a rebuttal post, didn’t realize that you subscribe to ‘Let It All Hang Out’…
Thank you for your service and steadfastness, Mr. John. God bless you.
So sorry your family treats you like that. So shameful. But don’t dwell on that. If you have a roof over your head, shoes and clothes to wear, food to eat you are more blessed than so many people in this world. Thank you for your service. I was NOT one of those that shunned our military that came home. In fact, I wore a POW bracelet for years. Husband and I would shake your hand, hug your neck and take you out for a meal if we could.
John, you are not alone. Hold onto those values as they will reign one day very soon when people will see the outcome of calling evil good
John, welcome home. You are created in God’s image and are my fellow human, fellow American.51 YO, Reagan fan since I was delivering papers at 10 YO…I am no long a Republican but am a Constitutional Insurgent seeking to Restore Our American Republic..no tolerance from much of the Family who have been brainwashed to the point of ignorance or apathy…so I keep the circle tight, thank the Lord for another day to seek Truth and fight to preserve and restore Liberty. Be well John.
I can’t check any of the above. The liberals in our family are so strong in their beliefs that anything we could say, wouldn’t change a thing. We feel in order to maintain good feelings in the family, we don’t get into a political match with them because they are very set in their thoughts and feelings, and we feel it’s not worth it. I think by us not joining in with their side….they know where we stand…and peace in the family remains. If something said couldn’t change their views…not worth the energy. It’s just very disheartening to know they really don’t know what’s really happening…that it’s all about them and their rights…at the cost of losing ALL their rights. Very self-centered society that’s rising up….but there’s also a lot of people waking up as well!

Better to wake up than be woke :-)

CNF….Prayers are on the way.
Stay steady and remain strong.
