They have gone round the bend, now: Fox noise had a guy on

[morningglory]

around Thanksgiving who was saying it is a problem that teachers are teaching the "lie" that the pilgrims shared with the native Americans, and it was a good thing. His thesis is that the pilgrims starved because they shared. That is what should be taught to our children. So tonight I am flipping channels, and on Fox Business channel the guy was on John Stossel's show. The big title below was "The Tragedy of Sharing". Geez Louise!

1. Love how fox news is constantly rewriting history nt

[treestar]

2. Almost sounds like tragedy

And what happened to their so-called devotion to "traditional values?"

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Avarice is a traditional value.

Along with hatred, envy, and the generalized worship of ignorance.

I know I'm forgetting some.

[unblock]

17. sloth, avarice, gluttony, envy, pride, anger, and last but not least, lust.

is that the list you're looking for?

[Frances]

3. Will Bill O'Reilly jump on this anti-Christian guy

Or didn't Jesus share fish with a whole bunch of people?

[Jackpine Radical]

4. I'm speechless.

Anyway, it was the Wampanoag who gave food to the Pilgrims. The tragedy of sharing indeed. They'd have been a lot better off if they had just let the English starve out.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Newsflash: The Pilgrims would have either been malnourished or starved

if they hadn't received survival techniques and food from the Native Americans.

11. Some of that "help" was in the form of stealing grave goods, btw

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Oh how disgusting

These people are insane.

[October]

8. How "Ayn Rand" of them. My God, they are reprehensible. /nt

[freshwest]

20. Nailed it in one.

[lunatica]

9. Must have been home schooled by a self appointed revisionist

[Roselma]

10. Is it this to which you are referring?

[Lefta Dissenter]

12. OMG (n/t)

:wow:

[valerief]

13. I'm waiting for their "Help is a Four-Letter Word" special. nt

[pacalo]

14. Oh, that's goooood! But, yes, it could happen on Fixed News.

[valerief]

16. Yep, give it time. They're that low. nt

[mahina]

15. Want to really watch their heads spin, ask how the pilgrims could communicate w the native Americans

Research shows the indigenous population spoke fluent French and Spanish, and some English. Squanto for sure had multiple languages.

18. Why would you tune in utter bainwashing shit like that?

I make it a point to not have the slightest idea that shit like that is even being produced.

[MisterP]

19. was it Andy Schlafly? that's his thesis

[11 Bravo]

28. Holy shit! Someone actually got sufficiently hammered to impregnate Phyllis Schlafly?

[KamaAina]

29. Or....

[11 Bravo]

31. Of course! I forgot about the the turkey baster!

[Raine]

21. If they really loved America they wouldn't have the need to lie

and change it's history. It's very sad they hate their own country so much ... for shame. x(

26. LOL

*not even gonna bother*

[treestar]

32. How could a group of that size have that problem?

They must have been quite religious. The "strong" didn't force the "weak" to work? What kind of "strong" people are they? :rofl:

1620s, eh? Wow, it will work the same now, I bet! The poor "strong" people, doing all that work!!

[Skittles]

25. WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

:rofl:

[BlancheSplanchnik]

27. god, that's unbelievably sick.

"The Tragedy of Sharing".....


Sick sick sick!

[KamaAina]

30. Leading the way in the War On Thanksgiving

33. Whatever you do for these the less fortunate of my brothers...

You do for me.




I guess what Faux Biz is saying is... starve and die, Jesus!

[Blue Owl]

34. Next: The Joy of Unbridled Greed

n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

35. More Conservative Revisionist History. The first winter they starved, the next fall they feast

and they "shared" with the natives (if you can call it sharing since they were basically just squatters on land they had no rights to).

[Magoo48]

36. What Europeans did share was disease which killed millions.

There is your, "Tragedy of Sharing."

37. E-mail going around: Free markets saved the Pilgrims.

From this 1985 article: http://dailycapitalist.com/2011/11/24/the-real-first-thanksgiving/

4 of every 5 colonists "chose to be parasites" and switching from socialism to free markets saved them!

"Before these free markets were established, the colonists had nothing for which to be thankful. They were in the same situation as Ethiopians are today, and for the same reasons. But after free markets were established, the resulting abundance was so dramatic that the annual Thanksgiving celebrations became common throughout the colonies, and in 1863, Thanksgiving became a national holiday.

Thus the real reason for Thanksgiving, deleted from the official story, is: Socialism does not work; the one and only source of abundance is free markets, and we thank God we live in a country where we can have them, for now anyway."

Reading the entire article may cause nausea....
