Shortly we will be celebrating the THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.
The history of the Thanksgiving holiday is the act of a brilliant politician. It was Abe Lincoln who made thanksgiving a national holiday at the end of the civil war.

Think about it. America had lost almost 10% of our people.
Every person killed was an AMERICAN. Wounded and maimed citizens were a too common sight. Who on EITHER SIDE could object to a chance to gather our families together and give thanks.

Our country is clearly wounded. Our citizens are at odds.

THINK ABOUT IT. ALL DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE AMERICANS. THINK ABOUT COMMON GOALS. YOU WILL DISCOVER THEY ARE NOT TOO DIFFERENT.

THE ELECTION IS OVER. WE HAVE A LOT OF HARD WORK TO DO. MCCAIN SAID AMERICANS ARE UP TO THE TASK.
TRY TO PROVE HIM RIGHT. THESE POSTS AND FAR TOO MANY LIKE THEM HAVE MADE ME WONDER ABOUT MY FELLOW CITIZENS.
