Thanksgiving day in so many ways is about freedom. Pilgrims came here seeking it. It was officially recognized in the midst of the Civil War, a fight about freedom. To be sure it is mostly about thankfulness for the abundance we have received as a nation and as families and individually, from God’s grace. It also reflects humility — gratefulness in spite of tribulations.
As with Columbus Day – America haters want to denigrate the day, disparaging pretty much everything about the remembrance as exploitative, racist, stultifyingly religious, even murderous.
Well in anticipation of a delightful feast and not wanting to sit down with residual indigestion, we will leave the pithy responses to the day’s detractors and kill-joys to three columnists at Townhall. They no doubt wrote their commentaries yesterday in order to avoid the same problem or not have to think of the nincompoops this day.

I Am Thankful For Many Things, Especially The Things That Make Stupid People Sad
Derek Hunter, in a similar vein helps clear the palate
And from Ann Coulter, who can issue some overripe gratuitous comments, nevertheless we thank for setting forth a little reminder as to why the Pilgrims were thankful for their scalps that first Thanksgiving.
