    Default Why does the left hate Thanksgiving?

    I don’t mean the actual day per se, but the real spirit and meaning of the day and the REAL history of the celebration and not the lies and half truths taught by union run public schools

    When the Mayflower set sail the passengers couldn’t pay their own way so they enlisted investor’s. In an effort to ensure repayment of their investment these investors instituted a policy of NO private property. So they had the colonists set up a common store where every colonist had an equal share. Think of it as a precursor to communism/socialism. Well, in that first year 50% of the 100 pilgrims perished. Those that were left had little in the way of incentive or motivation.

    William Bradford who had lost his young wife decided to scrap the compact and issued one acre of land to each person to do with as they pleased and more importantly KEEP the fruits of their labor. Well, the effects were immediate and profound. Productivity increased substantially.

    That first feast was to give thanks to God for delivering them from a deadly fate.


    Yes the indians did help the pilgrims in the beginning, but that is only half the story.

    This is why the left hates Thanksgiving as it is a real life testament to the power of private property in increasing prosperity.

    Did they pay back the investors?

    Well said..........

"His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Banned two users from APP from this thread. One for a direct insult and another for thread derailment. Read the rules and follow the rules, they are objective and quite clear, and not open to interpretation. Thank you and carry on.

    That is a good question. I do not know. I do think it is important to understand the real history of Thanksgiving

    I despise that our history has been rewritten by leftist universities.
