GIVING THANKS ON THANKSGIVING

I REALIZE THAT I OFTEN SOUND LIKE A RAVING LUNATIC AND ON OCCASION MY WRITINGS APPEAR THOSE OF A MORE NORMAL PERSON AND ON THE EXTREMELY RARE OCCASION THERE ARE FLASHES OF BRILLIANCE.

HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER MY THOUGHTS ON THE GREATNESS OF OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, HIS SON JESUS CHRIST AND THE JUDEO/CHRISTIAN FOUNDING OF THE BEST COUNTRY AND PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

I GIVE THANKS TO MEN SUCH AS MARTIN LUTHER, WILLIAM TYNDALE, GUTENBERG,
WYCLIFFE, CALVIN, KNOX, ZWINGLI AND OTHERS WHO GAVE EVEN THEIR LIVES TO THROW OFF THE BINDING CHAINS OF CHURCH STATES WHICH OPPRESSED MANKINDI

I GIVE THANKS TO CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS WHO RECOGNIZED THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH LEAD TO THE EUROPEAN OPENING OF THE AMERICAS, THE PROMISED LANDS.

I GIVE THANKS TO THE PILGRIMS, HUGUENOTS AND OTHER RELIGIOUS GROUPS WHICH CAME TO THE AMERICAS IN ORDER TO READ THE BIBLE AND UNDERSTAND AND WORSHIP GOD AS THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO IN OPPRESSIVE EUROPE.

I GIVE THANKS TO MY ANCESTERS WHO CAME TO THIS GREAT LAND  IN THE MID 1700'S AND HELPED TO PREPARE FOR THE DECLARATION OF INDEPEDANCE AND THE HOLY GOD INSPIRED CONSTITUTUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I GIVE THANKS FOR THOSE WHO SIGNED THE "DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE", THOSE WHO GAVE UP WEALTH, HEALTH, LIFE AND LIMB TO DEVELOPE THE STRONGEST INDIVIDUALLY FREE LAND THE WORLD HAD EVER KNOWN.

I GIVE THANKS TO THOSE WHO WILLINGLY GAVE THEIR LIVES TO ABOLISH SLAVERY AND PRESERVE THE COUNTRY.

I GIVE THANKS TO TRUE AMERICANS WHO HAVE FOUGHT IN TWO WORLD WARS TO KEEP AMERICA AND HER PEOPLE FREE.  THOSE AMERICANS WHO WENT INTO AN UNPOPULAR WAR TO DEFEND A PEOPLE FAR FROM OUR SHORES (VIETNAM), BECAUSE THEY WERE CALLED.

I GIVE THANKS FOR ALL WHICH I ALL TO OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED.  YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE IN HARMS WAY TODAY.  A SOUND ROOF OVER MY HEAD, WARMTH DURING THE WINTER, COOL DURING THE HOT SUMMERS, FOOD UPON MY FAMILIES TABLE.
I GIVE THANKS FOR THE FREEDOM TO SPEAK MY MIND AND EXPRESS MY OPINIONS, THE RIGHT TO OWN A FIREARM.  THESE WERE STALIN'S AND THE RED COMMUNIST GREATEST FEAR.  THE WRITTEN AND SPOKEN TRUTH AND AN ARMED CITIZENRY WILLING TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS AND SHARE WITH OTHERS AND RAISE UP THEIR FIREARMS TO OVER THROW TYRANNY.

I GIVE MOST DEEPLY FELT  THANKSM FOR A SUPERIOR WIFE, GOOD HEALTHY CHILDREN AND 12 GRANDCHILDREN,  GOODLY PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND SIBLINGS.,

TRUE FRIENDS, THOSE WHO HAVE YOUR BACK, WOULD TAKE A BULLET FOR YOU, GO YOUR BAIL AND HELP YOU MOVE AFTER 30 YEARS IN THE SAME HOME.
