Matt,

The left indeed has that POV, their ideology demands it. I long ago reached that conclusion of Saturday Night Live’s writers, producers and ‘creative artists’. I haven’t watched it since before John Belushi died.

@Geoffrey Britain

I was watching a “best of” Saturday Night Live and was struck that all of their portrayals of family Thanksgivings were dysfunctional. Sure, they’re going for the funny but I can’t help but think the left sees these gatherings as hotbeds of hostility.
That may have been the writers’ experience, but I would guess it doesn’t match most Americans’.

In my youth, I can remember plenty of Thanksgivings that agreed with Rockwell’s painting.

No, it was never universal but it was once the norm.

And the norm cannot be mere ‘propaganda’.

What IS propaganda is the left’s incessant claims that the social norms of the past were wildly exaggerated or never even existed.

The social cohesion that allowed America to respond so magnificently in WWII could never have happened had those ‘imaginary’ norms not existed.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Freedom from want is socialism.

Get a job.

I agree that freedom (more accuarately protection) from want and fear are impossible ‘freedoms’. There is no possible guarantee that we shall not want or fear. Under the laws of a just society we are instead required to be responsible to protect ourselves (and our families) from want and fear to the best of our abilities.
