How The Muslim Stole Thanksgiving

Shorter Rich Lowry, America’s Shittiest Website™
Thanksgiving Dumbed Down

  • You know, I was reading Obama’s Thanksgiving Proclamation and I wondered: Do Muslims even do Thanksgiving?

I suppose it comes as no surprise that Mr. Starburst a/k/a Rich Lowry isn’t up to any good when he wanders over to WhiteHouse.gov to read Obama’s Thanksgiving Proclamation.  And it’s also no great shock that reading the proclamation didn’t cause any starbursts to shoot out from Lowry’s tablet screen all over his living room or cause him to imagine that Obama winked at him. No, it made him mad, madder, in fact, than Thomas Sowell after an unsuccessful effort to turn on a fancypants hotel teevee set.

According to Lowry, the proclamation was too much socialism and not enough God. And by socialism, Lowry means an un-Thanksgiving-like expression of concern for the welfare of anyone other than the CEOs of the Fortune 500 who, by their munificence and unparalleled generosity, make Thanksgiving possible for the rest of us in the first place.

Not surprisingly, President Barack Obama’s Thanksgiving proclamations have been particularly pedestrian and perfunctory. God is lucky to get a mention or two.

Sadly, No! In the 2012 Proclamation, God is mentioned in three of the proclamation’s five paragraphs, which isn’t that much less than the number of times (seven) that Lowry mentions God in his much longer post.  In fact, my guess is that the RDPS (references to a deity per sentence) is about the same for both Obama’s proclamation and Lowry’s, er, declamation.

But what really gets Lowry’s goat is that Obama talks about Native Americans:

What God has lost in prominence in Obama’s statements has been gained by the American Indians, in a bow to multicultural pieties. His 2010 proclamation described how a spirit of Thanksgiving “brought together the newly arrived Pilgrims and Wampanoag tribe — who had been living and thriving around Plymouth, Mass., for thousands of years — in an autumn harvest feast centuries ago.” His proclamation last year urged the country “to remember the ways that the first Americans have enriched our nation’s heritage, from their generosity centuries ago to the everyday contributions they make to all facets of American life.”

What the fuck do Native Americans have to do with Thanksgiving anyway? Is that something Obama learned in his madrassa in Kenya or Singapore or wherever it was? Every true American knows that if any redskins had shown up at the first Thanksgiving, the pilgrims would have whipped out their muskets and blown each and everyone of them into that pagan hell where all idolatrous, non-Christian savages belong.   Next thing you know the liberals will be claiming that there were Jews present at the Nativity of Our Lord.

Nice to know that at this point, even the rote, textbook-level of mentioning the existence of native Americans’ presence at Thanksiving is enough to make these assholes terribly uncomfortable and pissy.

Is it the fact that without their existence, all of your primitive Calvinist ultra-reactionary ancestors would’ve been dead in weeks because they couldn’t do shit on their own? Thus even at the start of your fucking fantasy of bootstrappery and individual achievement, someone had to fucking bail you out and make sure you didn’t hurt yourselves?

 
 

It’s the thin end of the slippery slope. Next thing you know, Obama will be mentioning The Workers on Labour Day.

 
 

Color me surprised that Lowry isn’t tickled pink that our Preznit upheld the tradition of rubbing it in the faces of those folks whose “generosity” resulted in the genocide of their people.

Woo Hoo–let’s hear it for the Murkin knack for fucking over folks who naively offer to help, calling it “boot-strap enterprise,” and then spending centuries taunting them.

Lowry’s head would assplode if the President said what I would like to hear–an official recognition, maybe even apology, for the numerous atrocities committed against native peoples by our government. (or at least a clear expression of regret)

 
 

Next thing you know the liberals will be claiming that there were Jews present at the Nativity of Our Lord.

Oh, oh, I know this game!
Barack Obama’s 2012 Thanksgiving proclamation:
Total: 567 words
God: 2
G-rate (TM): 2/567 * 100 = 0.35%

GWB’s 2008 Thanksgiving proclamation:
Total: 448
God: 4
G-rate (TM): 4/448 * 100 = 0.89%

Oh. My. God. A decrease of 0.54%.

 
 

… that’s obviously a decrease of 0.54 percentage points. Like Rich knows the difference.

 
 

Muslims not celebrating Thanksgiving? Since when? Many Muslims even do stuff for Christmas … after all Muslims do believe Jesus was in the top three prophets and such. They just don’t believe he’s the Messiah (yet) and anyway the Messiah ain’t the important one, the Mahdi is … really … to whom would YOU kiss up? The King or the Prime Minister?

Anyway, don’t let the righties learn that we Jews DON’T celebrate Christmas. They might rethink their support for Israel. Heck, some of us don’t even observe Halloween…

 
 

Labour Day

WE DON’T DO THAT HERE.

God: 2

Also one “Creator” and one “Lord.” But Lowry’s real complaint seems to be that there’s not enough Hellfire, not that there’s not enough God. Frankly, if Lowry feels the need to repent of his sinfulness he should just do it rather than wait for presidential exhortation.

 
 

Not just Jews, Tintin, even animals!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness his Popeness the Rat has written the authoritative biography of Jesus- a figure never before written about or studied.

 
 

FFS, that Thomas Sowell piece is so “goddamn kids get off my lawn” that I thought it was parody at first…

 
 

Lowry quotes presidents’ Thanksgiving proclamations going way back. They should include dire talk of “national failings” and “sins and perversity,” etc. and they do, through Reagan and Bush the Elder.

But there’s a fine line and of course hippies dragged their filthy asses all up and down it. Some guy, “in rebutting the new Left of the 1960s, whose sense of the nation’s sinfulness exceeded all reasonable bounds, stated it nicely.” Nevermind how, the point is that Lowry likes when presidents badmouth the nation (Lincoln: God “dealt with us harshly for our sins,” etc.), hates when the Left does it … which brings me to Obama, who keeps it pleasant.

Read between the lines here: Lowry would really like Obama to carry on the tradition of saying dire things on Thanksgiving, because then Lowry and a wingnut army could excoriate him. If Obama stole an old speech with a bit of fire and brimstone about God’s judgment on the U.S., they’d go nuclear.

 
 

And that’s why Lowry’s on about, moreso than mentions of God. He can afford to be retrospective and measured, because Obama has not put him in the position of joining a tribal shit-fit:

The words “sin” and “perverse” would set off the Left as overly judgmental and embarrassingly archaic. The Right would bristle at national self-criticism from the country’s commander-in-chief (at a time of war, no less).

 
 

They might rethink their support for Israel.

No. How else would they immanentize the eschaton?

Christmas. Thanksgiving. 4th of July.

Libs have ruined everything. I predict the National Anthem before ball games will be gone in two years.

Go on. Have some of that gravy. It’s really good. I’ll just sit here and watch you try some. No really, it’s good! Go on…

 
 

Yep. When liberals and especially liberals named B. HUSSEIN Obama (even if they aren’t all that liberal, their very names mark them as socialists) don’t talk about sin and evil, they are being pandering pc atheistic wienies. But when they do talk about national sins and failings, that’s evidence of how they hate America.

As I’ve said here before, today’s reactionaries are the bullies that tell you “heads I win.tails you loose”

Well, what did you expect, Lowry? We’ve been waging war on Christmas for over a decade now. Did you REALLY believe that we wouldn’t come after Thanksgiving, too?

*irony alert: if anyone is destroying or waging “war” against Thanksgiving, it’s big retailers like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc., who are trying to turn the holiday from an obscene food orgy into an even more obscene consumer-spending-and-camping-out-in-parking-lots orgy. Yeah, Thanksgiving is under attack, but not by the taker-moocher liberals, but rather by the “job creator” titans of retail.

jim2011 • a few seconds ago

Hair-shirts make lousy band-aids.

Dire Calvinistic remonstrations in regards to collective failure have have only a scarce chance of producing much social improvement or renewal post-2012 – & there’s not much concrete evidence that they ever have. Human nature equates a Mea Culpa with a karmic IOU or a mulligan often enough to – at a minimum – neutralize any beneficial results.

That exact same cultural Calvinism ruled the roost in the industrialized world almost overnight at the start of the 1970s. The rising momentum of social progress, experimentation & cultural evolution that threatened to make humanity into a true unified Space Age society was simultaneously snuffed out, also almost overnight. Correlation is not causation – but only a fool would consider them mutually exclusive, especially in this case.

It so happens that hair-shirts are also a suberb vector for willful ignorance.

Obama’s invoking of God in his Thanksgiving address is about the same frequency as in Lowry’s critique of it – irony or parable?

Yes, surely going from a nation vigorously butchering its best & brightest by the scores of thousands to one polarized but at peace is indeed “a long way down.”

Perhaps some thanks are in order that such a tragic decline yet continues on apace.

Spent & panting, the lemmming basks in a typical refractory miasma.

In Lowry’s defense, his mom averages a very high RDPS, what with all her screaming “oh god oh god Oh God OH God OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.”

 
 

Also too, just wondering how you yanks can do it. Black Friday – midnight sales followed by a whole day (if not extended into a week) of mass-hysteria consumeristic orgies. And that after a massive turkey dinner. Aren’t you guys sleepy at all? I’m glad that us Canuckistanis don’t engage in that kind of craziness.

Ironically, and maybe pants-wettingly for the wingnuts, the only time in my life I’ve actually done American Thanksgiving was last year…

…and I was in Jerusalem at the time!!

(A surprising number of American ex-pats there do Thanksgiving. The coworker at whose house I was last year was thrilled this year because she found a pareve green bean casserole, so she could finally have it again, after having started to keep kosher after moving to IL 30 years ago. Being from Soviet Canuckistan, I don’t get American Thanksgiving, and green bean casserole isn’t a thing.)

This year, I was seriously tempted to post “Birushalayim l’shana haba’a” on her Facebook page. 🙂

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Is not _about_ anything really, except for gathering together, being gluttonous and getting drunk. What’s not to like?

FIE on you! When you make a mushroom sauce with leeks, wild mushrooms, cream and such good stuff, mix in lightly steamed and refreshed haricots vert, then top with thinly sliced red onion dredged in a mix of rice flour, AP flour, semolina and paprika, freshly fried in peanut oil it very much A THING I assure you.

The Breitbarterites don’t like pie.

As food pantries across the United States are overwhelmed by the newly poor and food stamp use is the highest it’s ever been, the Obama first family is enjoying a Thanksgiving meal with six different types of pie.

 
 

Mitt Romney, meanwhile, settles for shoe-leather in brine.

 
 

And urine-soaked cornflakes.

 
 

Just an apology for a comment I made on the last thread. I said that I would prefer it if people dressed like the 1950s and got rightly jumped on for it. It was an off the cuff remark and I didn’t consider the ramifications of it.

In my defense, I wasn’t at all thinking of the uncomfortable undergarments of the period. You can wear retro clothes without the girdles and cone-bras. But even then, my statement wasn’t even an accurate representation of my own views. I love suits, hats and dresses that are from, or evoke the periods from the 20 to the end of the 60s, but that’s not the be all and end all of being well-dressed in my eyes.

Honestly, one of the best-dressed dudes I know wears vintage band t-shirts, black pants, and steel-toed boots. It sounds funny, but I’ve talked about clothes with him a lot and he actually puts a lot of thought into what clothes to buy and how to match them. What he wears is a personal statement. And, really, that’s what I wish more people would think about when deciding how they dress. Instead of just going with what’s hip and trendy, or what the celebrities are wearing, or, in the case of most guys, what’s easiest to put on, I wish people could be a little more playful and experimental with their wardrobes.

I’m also big on colour coordination. I wish colour theory was at least touched on in school outside of art class because it really can change how you think about aesthetics.

And once again, this is just a personal wish about what I’d like to see. I don’t think anybody has to do anything. Just like saying you wish certain kinds of music were more popular and others were less popular doesn’t mean you actually want to control anyone’s taste in music.

As an artist (pretentious fuckface), I’m often struck by how many people don’t know anything about color–even other artists!

 
 

Spear, I was in no way piqued by your couture commentary. I’d like to have some cool suits. I’m not excited about the clothes I can afford, though, or find without much effort. Clothes that fit well would be awesome … As a young guy, I tried to show some retro style, slightly sleazy and flamboyant for gigs … well, to whatever degree it worked it depended on being much thinner than I am now. Now that I’m forty and fat, I could dig some tailored classy duds, but can’t or won’t buy and learn.

OTOH maybe I could work looking good into my midlife crisis. Now that I’m 100% jazzer with no rock pretensions at all, suits would be the logical thing.

I’ve gone out of my way to avoid getting so much as near a big-box store or mall today.

Oh, I can go you way better than that: I have a tradition, dating back over 15 years, of not going to any big box store or mall from Thanksgiving until after Christmas. Why? Because I fucking hate people – especially people in the midst of consumerist orgiastic frenzy.

My rule of thumb is that I won’t go to any store between Thanksgiving and Christmas, unless it’s Kroger, my local bookstore, or if I have to, Walgreen’s (for shampoo and other shit that I’m not willing to fight the Christmas-shopping moron hordes to buy at Target). I might pop into a small locally-owned joint in the neighborhood, but the general rule is Kroger, bookstore, Walgreen’s only. I tell my family every year to have their list ready for Thanksgiving; by this point, they’re so well-trained they already know the rules: I’ll be happy to get them something they want, as long as they tell me about it early enough for me to order it online or through a catalog. Otherwise, they’re getting something from the bookstore.

It has worked out really well for me for lo these many years now.

Me too, Spear. I vastly enjoyed watching Poirot because of the attention to period wardrobe(s), automibles, and splendid art-deco sets and exteriors.

I so agree with attention to color coordination. Also texture! It’s wicked-fine when a sharp-dressed person manipulates color AND texture together.

We bought a mattress today. That was the extent of our Black Friday shopping.

I comfort myself thinking that it was not an Xmas purchase, and also that part of our Sears was not mobbed at all. Though there was gunplay at a Sears in San Antonio.

I got no gunplay, just chit-chat with a woman who claimed to have bought four TVs that morning. In part because, you see, the family is fucking up her living room by watching TV there, sitting on the white couch and staining the carpet and whatnot. She solved this with a 40″ TV for the family room in the basement, plus 3 more unexplained TVs.
