    Thankful, for Congress not being in today to destroy the US HC system….
    Thankful, for another full day to Pray they not destroy the US HC system….
    Thankful, that despite my Father having had a massive Stroke this 4th July last, the US HC system had not yet been destroyed to the point the Democrats would have just let him die….
    Thankful, that while my Father is still bed-ridden, unable to walk, that Democrat HC Panels don’t hold his fate and we can still get assistance in his healing….
    etc….
    etc……
    etc………

    May God Bless you all!!!!

    Since I may not be back later today, let me take this time to express thankfulness for all you RedStaters and your efforts to keep our nation’s “light on a hill” shining in a dark era.

    Hope you all don’t overdose (too much) on turkey and football!

  • USNJIMRET

    Deployed away from family and friends, this time of year is double tough.
    Been there, done that, it’s difficult. Even more so when some turd is trying to kill ya!
    And God Bless America!

    (VIDEO below) not because I am looking to garner any sympathy, but I’d appreciate anyone that adds my Fathers well-being to their Prayers – Thanks….

    The only honest/unscripted moment occurred (and Video picked up by Fox-news Live Desk) when a man (Mike Sola and his wife) there with their Son (Scott), wheel-chair bound (so he was able to get in to the front – where Democrats, no doubt, expect that anyone Disabled would be Pro Takeover and Handouts), demanded his question (on behalf of his Son) be answered. He demanded to know why his son with Cerebral Palsy would NOT be able to receive any aid/help under the Bill.

    Dingell caught off-guard and reeling let slip truth about rationing and/or denial of care with his answer. Dingbat told him he sponsored AN AMENDMENT to the Bill to correct the problem. WOW! If there is no RATIONING of what and/or whom is covered – why would any amendment be needed and why/how was this ?condition? excluded?!?! This was/is in direct contradiction to the propaganda handout item #2 ?Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed.? Their refutation, ?In no way does this section stipulate the rationing of care.? If there are NO DENIALS OR RATIONING OF CARE there would have been no need for an Amendment to the Bill to address an exclusion!!!

    VIDEO NOTE: Important to note that I chose this “LaRouche” coverage for a couple of reasons:
    1) It clearly shows, their own admission, it was/is the LaRouche folks with all The Hitler/Swastika stuff Pelosi keeps trying to play up and pawn off on Republicans
    2) Mike Salo, as discussed above, (3 min 30 sec mark) is the one you’ve seen splashed across all the News cycles and you’ll want to see THE WHOLE THING IN CONTEXT!

    Beyond that, again I saw this not to garner favor but to point out, the Democrats automatically ASSUME that if someone is disabled, or in need of some help with sick Loved Ones, they are automatically going to be in favor of perceived hand-outs of a Socialized Obamaocare system – and that is just FALSE! Even 1/2 baked brained Liberals across this Nation know that this Health-Care TAKEOVER, not Reform, is going to result in the degradation of Health-Care for ALL AMERICANS and not lift up the small percentage of folks without Health-Care Insurance they are trying to pretend this is all about! Everyone knows that there are solutions we’ve put forth that would work to Insuring those without rather than destroy the entire system in the name of a Democrat scheme for more/bigger Government!!!

    The dude who beefs Les Nessman for standing in front of his store looks like Mike Bloomberg.

    Psalm 100 (NIV):

    1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

    2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.

    3 Know that the LORD is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his ;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

    4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.

    5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

    Seriously, this is heartfelt, God’s blessings to all who frequent these pages.

    And for trolls, a special wish for RS forgiveness of all those who have trespassed and been banned. For trolls demonstrate what the collectivists are up to lest we forget that they project all their sins upon us.

  • gazill

    May your day be filled with joy.

  • Dave_in_Fla

    Thanks for the post, BS and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    “I As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly” is IMHO the funniest line ever uttered on TV. I still laugh at it, and hadn’t seen the episode since the 80s.

    Until now :)

  • Dave_in_Fla

    And a happy Thanksgiving to you!

  • navychick1993

    God bless everyone here at Redstate. I am thankful to be part of a wonderful family. =)

    Please remember the men and women in the military who are in harm’s way; they are separated from family. God bless them and the USA!

    Happy Thanksgiving all.
    Plus, secret Winston Churchill (and Thatcher) tv recording released. Nice holiday viewing to remember two of Britain’s finest:

    It’s been a long year.

  • Richard Mullins

    yeah, I’ve seen a few turkey crossing the road and one crossing somewhere in US 87 near Goliad,Tx.

  • shaitra

    I’ve been lurking for a while and appreciate all the wisdom and insight the folks here share with us all every day.

  • jodehunter

    Thank you so much for that wonderful return to a more joyous and simple time. These days, you would have to put all kinds of caveats around the episodes like – “No turkeys or humans were harmed during the filming of this episode” or “Please do not enact this at home. Only professionals should make any attempts such as this” or “these people are mere caricatures and are not mean to represent any individual living or dead” or some such.

    Just simple good scripting, acting and humor. You made my day!

    God’s richest blessings to each of the staff and the readers/commenters. We are seekers, trying to find and re-engage the Truth in this God-forsaking world.

    I just read the story on drudge and the feds have chosen the route of twisting the language of the bill to favor funding ACORN. This is a scandal of enormous proportions, the Government intentionally has twisted the language of the bill to favor the group. This is corruption plain and simple!

  • DONTREADONME

    giving money to there favorite lobbyists all of the time! Gosh darn it, this is the kind of bull s88t that makes me want move to a desert island.
