If Melissa is so upset about America’s history, she’s free to leave any time.

Oughta stuff a Festivus pole into the orifice.

Harris Perry:”The kindergarten story that you learned about grateful Pilgrims and happy Indians is not even close to the historic reality of how European settlers brought violence, disease and land theft to the indigenous peoples who were already in this land long before it was discovered.”

Yep, for a while I was DVRing her and watching her shows to see what she was up to and this is what she is about.

Before she got her own Weekend show Maddow was pimping her as a brilliant know-everything guest to introduce her to her lib audience. While she is pushing this 'America is evil' stuff she has gives a regular exaggerated smile to try make her look non-threatening..

A few minutes before I saw this post I posted a comment on the Thanksgiving thread that satired this line of thinking :

RE :” How Private Property Saved the Pilgrims”
What?? The (American) Indians didn't get out their vote to elect a leader who took the land from owners and gave out free abortions to the squaws?

the indigenous peoples who were already in this land long before it was discovered

Indigenous people? Baloney. There was a lot of warfare causing moving around of various tribes for many years before white men came.

Does anyone seriously believe the people who live high in the cold parts of the Andes saw them and thought, "Wow, what a great place to live. Lots of rocks!" Of course not. They were likely driven from nicer areas by nastier people. No one was really "indigenous." They ALL might have moved here from Asia. As each wave came through there was a constant forcing of people to move from more to less desirable locations. But if WE do it, that's bad.

Avoid social and elective interactions with drones at all times, including family members. Our efforts should be directed at increasing our ties with conservatives, and outreach to those with an open mind.

Ironically, some neo-Confederates blame Leftism on the Pilgrims (and Puritans).

A percentage of the country's population has acquired a disturbing disrespect for it's forefathers. I wonder how long before it starts robbing their graves.

Shut up old hag. The Indians were called savages for a reason, look it up.
And I'm sure without us and our freedoms given by GOD, they would've invented,
um, the wheel by now. Just look at what the Mexicans have invented with their last 200 years.

(is not even close to the historic reality of how European settlers brought violence, disease and land theft to the indigenous peoples)

No need to bring what they already had..

[SECURE AMERICA]

Every family’s got one...that hardcore conservative who makes every Thanksgiving get-together a nightmare by sounding off, unprompted, on how liberals are ruining this country with their taxing and their spending and their gay-marrying, and how back in my day blah blah blah

Not a problem here. My whole family already understands this staement to be factual.. With the younger ones yearning for back in the day as they watch these asswads destroy America..

They seem to have forgotten one thing - the Conservative family member will likely be the only person in the room who has done any research, knows the truth, and has a brain that can do more than spout banal party line tripe. IOW, the rest of the family will have to shout him down in order to ensure no TRUTH leaks into their mush skulls.

Anyone that tries to shut me up will feel what the Turkey felt.
