Thanksgiving is a typically American holiday. In spite of its religious form (giving thanks to God for a good harvest), its essential, secular meaning is a celebration of successful production. It is a producers’ holiday. The lavish meal is a symbol of the fact that abundant consumption is the result and reward of production. Abundance is (or was and ought to be) America’s pride—just as it is the pride of American parents that their children need never know starvation.

Rational Jenn presents Tattling and the Virtues posted at Rational Jenn, saying, "I realized that sometimes I use tattling incidents as a way to help my kids redirect their attention from what others are or aren't doing and back toward what they are (or should be) doing. It's an opportunity to help them know to do what they know is right even if others aren't."
Edward Cline presents Ashes for Allah: New Calls for Censorship posted at The Rule of Reason, saying, "Politicians, generals and pundits do not become overwrought about the burning of bibles, Torahs, or other religious documents. Only about Korans. This is because Islam is always in the news, in some form or another, and that is because Muslims are always being “provoked” by the least criticism of them and their creed to throw bloody tantrums. Islam is another “culture,” another religion, another “way of life,” and by the criteria of political correctness and an affinity for dhimmitude, it must be protected from all forms of offense."

Scott Connery presents Tea Party Leader Calls for Compromise?!? posted at Rational Public Radio, saying, "If the Tea Party is going to be of any value, they have to stick to the principle of small government.
