"Friendsgiving" seems to be the buzz word amongst the liberal crowd these days.
Sheesh, a local News 5 anchor, when doing a story about this kept saying "Thanksgiving".
Mods you can pull if you wish.
The problem is who you are thanking. Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas interfere with their desire to enforce atheism.
I don’t think it has anything to do with political persuasion.
You've nailed it.
I also find it annoying to see an ad for something substituting the word "Christ" in "Christmas" with something else, the name of some product they're trying to push This Holiday Season.
I love Chex party mix, but honestly, "Merry Chexmas"?
Thanksgiving?
You mean that troubling holiday celebrating the beginning of the genocide of Northeast First People’s by white supremacist colonizers from Europe?
The one pushing the now disputed narrative that there were friendly, cordial relations between the Puritans and the local tribes and that they came together that first Thanksgiving to share their harvest bounty and express appreciation to God and each other for surviving that first difficult year?
So the Marxist/Left/Liberal cabal want to repurpose Thanksgiving to serve their spite-filled narrative. So, of course, it has to be renamed.
“Friendsgiving. “ Sure. Add it to Festivus and Kwanza. And whatever atheists are proposing for Christmas.
Yeah, Christmas. The literal “white savior” holiday. Except, of course, he was a Jew. Which makes it a “white Jewish savior” celebration, which is even worse.
< /sarcasm>
Friendsgiving is a new thing people are doing, where they get together with their friends to celebrate this holiday, it is in addition to, not a replacement for, Thanksgiving with their family. My kid just went to one of these last weekend.
it is in addition to, not a replacement for, Thanksgiving
That’s how it starts. Then it slowly starts replacing. These are marxist movements to brainwash you to to hate you, hate your faith, hate your country.
MOST YOUNG AMERICANS PREFER FRIENDSGIVING OVER THE REAL DEAL

Actually, we had a “friendsgiving” party among the leaders of Reopen Maryland last year. We were just distinguishing it from the other celebrations that each family would have.
We did it first and meant no dishonor or correction to the holiday.

My kids, who are hardly leftist, call it Friendsgiving, because they invite all their friends without children over to celebrate Thanksgiving. Not a bad thing, actually I consider it charity from my kids toward their friends who would otherwise be very lonely on that holiday.
(I haven’t been blessed with grandchildren yet and won’t travel to them because it’s halfway around the world to get there. A lot of their friends don’t have children yet and parents are too far away l
“Friendsgiving” (in my experience) isn’t a bad thing. Many young people no longer live near family like years ago. They may have a “friendsgiving” for all of those who can’t get “home” and their vacation time is limited. It is also an “addition to”... type of event. Some will have the traditional meal at Mom’s or Gramma’s and then have a party for similar aged friends that weekend. The festivities may be more “young oriented” but the idea of people getting together to have some fun.. I don’t see anything wrong with it. Just like some young people will have a “Christmas party” during the summer... a half way to Christmas party. Let the young be young. IMHO.
My wife and I noticed it on the Food Network when all the shows talked about "Friendsgiving" and scarcely mentioned "Thanksgiving". I had to look it up. It is supposed to mean Thanksgiving with friends rather than family. Sounds like BS to me. I think that Thanksgiving celebrations have almost always involved friends as well as family. It can be "Thanksgiving" whether one is with one's family or friends (or both).
Gratitude is not a value on the Left; which is what this uniquely American commemoration is all about.
LOL!
As Mr. Burns would say: “Exxxxcelleeeeent!”
Based on the way various persons in the illustration are dressed and what they are doing, I’m assuming this is an 18th or 19th century illustrator’s imaginative depiction of the destruction of say…the Jamestown settlement?
Do you have a link to the source?
Interesting user name. I was at An Hoa in I Corps for Tet ‘69. Yeah, sort of tame after ‘68; they just mortared the ammo dump. The subsequent fire couldn’t be controlled and exploded the dump. Pretty spectacular.
Yeah, they hit the dump in 67 too.
I thought it was a nuke big mushroom cloud, you could
see the bigger bombs being carried up and going off.
I was a mile away and the shock wave knocked me into a
fox hole.
Luckily it was hit on the third round and the ordinance
guys were already under ground. They went around in
skivvies and boots for a few days as everything above
ground was wiped off.
Sin Loi as they say.
God Bless, fifty years ago. I never thought I’d
live to see what the democrats have done to this
country.
t.
I was on perimeter guard just south of the dump but
was on during the day so was not close that night.
The next day when I went on duty, the sand was covered
in jagged bomb fragments, looked like gray spikey bushes.
We took no casualties that night but several of the large
hangers were damaged and had to be brought down.
The EOD guys did it pretty smooth only some pogue
was standing too close and got killed by a flying bolt.
