We knew one of the idiots would just have to find something to be outraged over.
I don't think it worked out as planned.

What sort of bullshit is this? Prayer for a turkey?

Seriously?
Eat Thanksgiving meal and offer a prayer for a turkey who gave his life for us? Gave his life for us? Come on, now.
He didn't give shit for us. He suffered a miserable life and was snuffed out. That's it. I must say, I was s******ing with the family right wingers on this one. If it's criminal to eat a factory-raised turkey (and it is, and I didn't), then just don't do it. Don't say a stupid-ass prayer for the hormone-infested bird. Just eat it. Quit trying to make an ugly situation holy. Why is my family so ass-backwards?
For ***** sake.
Amen.

5. Odd how every single solitary poster not only has scads of RW relations
but they break bread with them every single solitary Thanksgiving.
Odd. Yes, isn't it? :lmao:

29. Not odd for me. With the exception of me, one of my cousins and her boyfriend,
my family is full of hard core right wingers. However, I love them to death.
I know that's not the same for every family. I'm just lucky that way. Yup

30. Well, if you are very religious (and curious about ancient religions)
offering a prayer for the animal that gave his or her life for you to eat is proper. I am talking well before the Age of Bronze here. So I guess your relatives are following pre-Christian mores.
That is what I call irony on steroids.

Hey, idiot know it all. There is no irony at all. I would venture many if not most Christians also understand they have some roots in pre-Christian tradition that live on and were incorporated at the time of initial conversions when Christianity was growing. At some point Priests realized it made more sense to move away from the Muslim-like tradition(that continues) of conversion or death and to allow native peoples to incorporate what were long held CULTURAL traditions into their new Christian ideology. in fact, this is probably what helped Christianity grow as it did. I have relatives with direct ties to Europe who incorporate many of the pagan era(Yule logs, etc) CULTURAL traditions into their holidays. As I said, there is no irony in that were the religious significance changes or falls away, the CULTURAL norm may stay--those are called traditions. It's something your side would work on when it comes to our national symbols where God is invoked. if you followed the tradition of Christians who hold on to cultural norms from pre-Christian tradition, you all would stop stomping about every time God was invoked on money, courtrooms, etc and accept it as a cultural norm and traditional of the country you live in if you find the actual religious overtones too distasteful for you.
The entire discussion here is basically one of don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I will ponder you this though oh great dumbass who thinks she isn't:
Perhaps I should find irony at the number of those with non Germanic roots who put up a tree at Christmas too. ::)

Well, it's for certain you ain't gonna break bread with the EBT card users because by the last Thursday in November they've smoked up, doped up and drunk everything on it. Only the RW's eat after the fifteenth of the month.

Something came to mind just a minute ago.
I've wandered over to the island a few times today, just to see what funny sh** I could dig up.
Oddly enough, I couldn't find a single thread were any DUmmie brought up cACA Democare during dinner.
Not a one. No conversions, no flashing lights, no applause. Not a one.
Why is that, DUmpmonkeys?

My guess is that the DUchebags did follow orders from King Barky the Liar and DID bring up the cACA obama democrat health care. They were then faced with universal and fierce opposition to the disastrous Obama Care. Can't report this back to the hive and they are too DUmbfounded. The goons can't even come up with a crappy bouncy about it.

I am just guessing here. But I would say they didn't. They know they have no foot to stand on.

Starts a bit slow, but picks up around the 0:35 mark.
