The True Story of Thanksgiving
RUSH: It’s especially relevant now since the original Thanksgiving is so misunderstood and so much of education is mistaught and actually young people lied to about much of the founding of our country. And so our tradition is to set it straight each and every day here.
NY Times Says Charles Manson Inspired Conservatism, Tears Apart Capitalism for Destroying the Earth
RUSH: The problem is that the New York Times readership is a bunch of sponges and they're gonna soak this up, and they're gonna be running around thinking that they're now enlightened and they've learned something. And then there was another piece that ran this week claiming — this is not a new thought. This one does not surprise me they would run. But we're gonna dissect both of these.
Leftists Urge Followers to Ruin Thanksgiving with Arguments
RUSH: There's a tweet here from Chuck Schumer: "Bring this chart to Thanksgiving dinner. It’ll come in handy when that family member who always talks politics tells you the Republican tax bill helps the middle class."

Pixar Founder Latest Charged with Sexual Harassment

Girl Scouts: Don’t Hug Grandma!
RUSH: Fox News. The headline: "Girl Scouts Tells Parents Not to Force Daughters to Hug Relatives Over the Holidays." Now, you're probably saying, "Wait, wait, wait, what?

Outrage Greets Giants-Redskins Game (No, Not Because It’ll Be a Dud)
RUSH: The Nation, the far, far, fringe left wacko news publication suggests — do you know the Washington Redskins are hosting one of the Thanksgiving football games in the NFL? The Nation believes that the Redskins hosting a Thanksgiving Day game is the owners of the NFL showing their true racist, anti-Indian feelings. These people are incapable of being happy. They have to find some sort of ism in everything, even if it's harmless and good.
The Other Side Is Desperate to Rehab Its Reprobates
RUSH: Well, you know, it's an interesting question: What is gonna happen to these people? You know behind the scenes reclamation projects are underway.

The guys on the other side of the glass are shaking their head, "No way, they went too far."
Young Reader: There’s So Much In Rush Revere That They Didn’t Teach Us in School

George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation
RUSH: How many of you have heard that our founders were atheists or were agnostics? So that's the first Thanksgiving, the official proclamation for it. It has traceable roots right back to the Pilgrims.
The Canarsie Tribe Swindled the Dutch out of Manhattan!
RUSH: "In due course, the intruders from Amsterdam who thought they had pulled a sharp one on the locals were forced into negotiating a second, more costly deal with the" people who actually did own "Manna-hatin"! So it was the Dutch who got screwed by the Indians, not the other way around. And I guarantee you, you haven't been taught that.
Rush 24/7 Stack of Stuff
RUSH: No longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program. Now, you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time. It's going to be more of a real-time base feature rather than just a generic list of places that I go to prep the show.
