Thanksgiving Greetings:
To celebrate this season, gather around a cozy fire
with all your loved ones, especially the little children, and read
to them a heartwarming story of this great day.
A fine choice is: THE
GREAT THANKSGIVING HOAX by Richard
Maybury.
In this story, you will learn the TRUTH! That: "The problem with...[the official Thanksgiving story]... is that the harvest of
1621 was not bountiful, nor were the colonists hardworking
or tenacious. 1621 was a famine year and many of
the colonists were
lazy thieves."
And more! Who knew?!
Yes, a good stirring story about the true meaning
of Thanksgiving - that socialism sucks! Brought to you by the website of Austrian
economists, and they should know. [I have to warn you, this Maybury fellow seems to flap a wee bit to the right.
Some of you may be offended. I, for some reason, am thoroughly entertained.]
Also, for those of you who are fresh immigrants, don't
forget:
Thanksgiving is all about immigrants coming to America, having
a nice meal or two with the natives, and then taking
over.
Don't
let anyone tell you otherwise. Especially those former immigrants who did this in their turn and now want to change the rules around.
And not just Thanksgiving, the whole American dream is about facilitating immigration!
Why, the founding
fathers themselves
went to great lengths
to highlight this in the hallowed Declaration of
Independence, even as they
spelled out their grievances against that evil George
of yore.
Surely you're familiar with the Declaration of Independence?
No? OK, here's how it
starts [and be patient, there's a bit of a set up before we get to immigration]:
"When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary
for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected
them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth,
the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions
of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the Separation."
(Yes. It's stirring. Heck,
read the whole thing here.)
The next paragraph
starts "We hold these Truths to be self-evident..." In
other words, "We assume..."
This is an excellent way to
start out. Lay it on the line. What is the assumption that drives
you? The thing that requires no proof, that is self-evident, that
you Will to Be by Declaring It, that you make a stand for, that
defines who you are?
You flaming AMERICAN!
To start with, the Founding Fathers
assumed "all men are equal, that they are endowed by their
creator with certain unalienable rights, among these are Life, Liberty
and the Pursuit of Happiness."
Then they went on to criticize government
and prescribe overthrow, and in so doing, revealed further assumptions: "But when a long Train of Abuses and
Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a Design
to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is
their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards
for their future Security."
The Government at that time was the administration of King George, and the declaration lists each
car in the train of his abuse, prefacing it with the assurance that these are all facts: "The History
of the present King of Great-Britain is a History of repeated Injuries
and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of
an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts
be submitted to a candid World."
You may be thinking "So what.
An old geezer king and those colonists with their panties in
a twist over stamp taxes. Not my
problem. Plus, they hadn't seen nothing yet."
But behold! There's something in it for EVERYONE! Immigrant
Iranians (and other nationals) whose access to the states is being
curtailed now through immigration restrictions, rejoice! Your struggle is tres Americain! In the list of heinous things done by
the
tyrant king George we have:
"He has endeavored to prevent the Population of these States;
for that Purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither,
and raising the Conditions of new Appropriations of Lands."
There you have it. Straight from the pens of our Founding Fathers. Those who would prevent your population of these States are injurious and
tyrannical and anti-thetical to the American way. Immigration is the very essence of the American way!
Of course, once you get here, the
idea is that you want to be AMERICAN! FREE! And so on. You're supposed
to be happy to throw off the yoke of your old country's turgid
government
and gleefully go about colonizing and imposing yourself on your
new home and Appropriating land, gobbling up real estate and industry and whatnot. And yet you
whine
about giving up the old country and losing your language and such.
The English settlers who came here also lost their language. Do
you see them whining?
Oh wait a minute, you're right. They didn't lose their language. They imposed
it on everyone else! So, if you want to follow in their footsteps,
make sure to get all your English-speaking friends a set of Persian-English magnetic word play kits! And keep the tradition
of language imposition going strong! Yay!
I guess it goes to show, a lot of people want to have their cake
and eat it too. Well you can! Because it's Thanksgiving! And we
have not yet begun to colonize! Pass the cranberries. [The karmic cranberry go-round!]
