THE FIRST THANKSGIVING....
AS TOLD BY AN 8 YEAR OLD:
“THE PILGRIMS LANDED ON PLYMOUTH ROCK BUT THEY WERE COLD AND HUNGRY AND THE INDIANS GAVE THEM BLANKETS AND SHOWED THEM HOW TO PLANT FOOD AND TO THANK THEM THE PILGRIMS HAD A BIG FEAST WITH TURKEY AND SWEET POTATOES AND PICKLES.”
AS TOLD BY A TEA PARTY MEMBER:
“THE PILGRIMS ESCAPED TO THE NEW WORLD TO GET OUT FROM UNDER AN OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT THAT CONSTANTLY RAISED TAXES ON THEM. WHEN THEY LANDED IN THE NEW WORLD THEY INVITED THE INDIANS – I’M SORRY, ‘NATIVE AMERICANS’ – TO JOIN THEM IN A BANQUET FILLED WITH THE RICH BOUNTY AMERICA HAD TO OFFER. LATER, THOUGH, THEY HAD TO FIGHT THE INDIANS, USING THEIR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. AND THEY BUILT BIG FENCES TO KEEP THE INDIANS OUT.”
AS TOLD BY A NATIVE AMERICAN:
“WE GOT SCREWED.”
