The True Meaning of Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, it is that time of year again. I was listening this afternoon to Rush Limbaugh's story on the true Thanksgiving. Here is the link.

It was quite refreshing to listen to an accurate portrayal of the original celebration of Thanks Giving to God by the Separitists. I remember growing up just outside of Plymouth and learning the wonderful things about the Pilgrims at Plymouth Plantation.

Something changed, however, from elementary school to high school. In the 11th grade my American History teacher told me how the Pilgrim's had given their disease infested blankets to the Indians in order to kill them (native Americans to modern ears). I also remember being taught how we evil white men ravaged the country side and stole their land.

I have since purchased a book written by William Bradford on the REAL history of the plantation. I have always found, if you want to know the truth, go to the horses mouth, not the rewriting, reconstructionist, left wing, socialistic, environmental tree hugging, spotted owl loving, fool that says there is no God, historian.

America has a great foundation. Let us never depart from our steadfast morings.
