Thanks for sharing your holiday with us.

"Note: Mr President Richard M. Nixon [pbuh] was a Quaker, does that make him a Quack?! Or a Moron??????"

Simultaneously being a Quaker and Richard Nikon certainly would have to take some kind of selective reasoning, but in fact he switched to being a.... Conservative Methodist, (suggest a fact check) I think it was, before he got all Red-scare proto-Neocon wacky.

Happy Thanksgiving, JJ.

Att: A N O N Y M O U S, etal;

Caveat folks: Answering to an 'Anon' Moniker is not good practice on These 'onreligion or onfaith' Blogg herein or thereof in the internet at large THAT:

Voting For Brethren 'Mitt Rom' is not about voting for a Pre-Apocalyptic Superstupidstitious Mormon, which does not make him a Moron!

Me personaly thinks that you meet the 'latter' [Moron] more than OUR former Mormon Brethren(s) does!

Did You Forget about the 'AVIATOR' aka Howard Hughes the INDUSTRIALIST ?,, the Genuine 'Blue-Blood' Red too, just like yours & , yes, me's too, thrice, etc....

Note: Even though 'i'am-not-a-Mormon, but an ECLAI-ON of the "Holy Cosmic Feelings Faith' Philosophy, aka THE-DYNAMIC "NEW-SONG" now as genuine Prophecy/REVELATION (opposite of MYTH) coming from Even Mr. Mitt-ROMNEYS Old-Songs, of he is Deafinately aware, like a potential ECLATi-On , like You ANONY et al!!!!!

Question: If you are the same 'nAonymous' then did not answer the QUESTION: "WHO, or what was the "MOTHERS-NAMES" of Biblical-Character(s) ADAM?, NOAH'S? & ABRAHAMS? Momma's name, and in this order??? Hint:

According to that which was penned & handed down , via Mr. Novel Star MOses et al, from way yonder, aka the Abrahamic 1st "JU"(s) {Of which ALL Christian(s) & Islamic(s), includes the Judeo Vedic Hindu(s) & Judeo-Vediv-Buddhist(s) et al's} evolved from APOCALYPTICALY ! Yep! AND;

We Eclati-Ons can prove that Now for ALL THE WORLD to See, feel & Hear & Know! A/K/A/ ERA of 'TRUTH' [Opposite of MYTH] that is cometh as prophecied!

But, again like 'i' sayth, Mr. Mitt ROMNEY is a Mormon, but surely no "moron" as you mention above?? Note: Mr President Richard M. Nixon [pbuh] was a Quaker, does that make him a Quack?! Or a Moron??????

TRIVIA: Did you know that Mrs. Laura & George G. W. Bush et al & Mrs. Ex-1st Lady & his ex-President Mr. Bill Clinton et al, are also METHODISTS?

SO; Does that make them Metho-Heads or Morons, Blogger Anonymous???? et al????

VOTE: Amolish ALL Pain in the ANONYMOUS-POSTS so to speaketh!

Tonka Shame! < ?: +(

Happy Every Day! < ?: +) Eeeeee Haaaa Ya ole!

Ah, Mitt-ROMNEY any ting is pozible, and no Bull!

you are a good looking lady.

Jacob Jozevz, it's looking bad for your boy.

Pootarack came into the public house and as he sat down Doodle ask him if he was gonna vote for Romney. "Heck no" he said, "I'm not voting for no moron." Butch piped in, "you voted for Bush didn't you."

You gonna need to work hard for Poot's vote.

Hello Sistar(s) N I E Q U I S T, et al;

Greetings from Coney Island , Brooklyn, N.Y.;

As long as 'ALL in the family' have A:

1) Food {Tangerines, Turkey or Sushi or Bread & Water etc..,

2) Cave,

3) Clothes, AND;

4) L*O*V*E,

THEN, all is good, especially when healthy! Hence happy.

Important: These Four Needs above are APOCALYPTICIALY known as the "FOUR-TETRA-NEEDs" of the "Holy Cosmic Feelings Faith" Philosophy, a belief that's like a religion.

Example: No LOVE. Imagine no-one to be there to love or be loved back??? Pets are great companions, but like one cannot live on bread alone, then one cannot live on a Pet(s) alone! Intimacey is exclusive to US HUMATES [each a Citizen & Denizen Of Space-Shipp Momma Poppa Earth possesing an Spirit, aka Immortal HEURISTICao, thats embedded in each of OUR Holy Cosmic Hosts, aka Frontal Lobes, JUSTIFIABLY implanted at the UTERO, only for a TIME [TEMPERATURE] , via the Miraculous FIAT-LUX of the Creator, LORD ECLATi.]

I mentioned these 4-Essentials before or recently to Dr. S.T. Wolins blogg, from Washington University. and Seq Passim.

But if one already has "LOVED-ONES" but no "FOOD" then LOVE is not enough! And If One Has LOVE + FOOD but , "NO" Roof-Over-Head aka CAVE or house, then that Love + food ain't gonna get-it, so to speaketh. But

if one has FOOD + CAVE + LOVE, then thats good but, when your in a Desert somewhere or Alaska somewhere then CLOTHES is gonna happen or one has ZERO Love, zero food & zero Home! See what I See Sistar???

The POINT is: Be Happy, no matter whereever if each and everyone of you got all them TETRA-NEEDS: Food + CAVE + LOVE + CLOTHES!! Ofcourse some people do not realise what they have. And thas called selfishness!

Note: Psychologically this is the CRUXOLOGY of what involes each and every one of US HUMATES, until TRANSFINITE DEATH, not BIO-CARBON Death, leaves all these behind, so to speaketh here for now!

Interesting: Alot of people do not know, that the tetra needs is what Humates Live , enjoy & die for! So

1) FOOD, "glorious food", (Like a Peanut Butter jelly sandwitch & a glass of milk to keep from Disappearing) +

2) CAVE (to keep away from unhamte creatures & enviroment +

3) CLOTHES (To 'Protect-Body From Elements', and not because to be naked is some superstupidstitiuos 'Biblical Sin' nor shame! +

4) LOVE (Where this makes the world go round, not Money! Note: SEX is not LOVE either! But that's another Story!

< ?: +)/ Ya Ya, HAPPY EVERY DAY! Goble Goble!

TRIVIA: Did you know that Turkey meat is more Healthy than Sushi?

IMPORTANT: OUR Oceans are being severly depleted of certain species of FISH that goes into making Sushi!

Think Globally act Locally O.K.?! Ya Ya!

VOTE: (((Peace Love Rockn Rolln Rap, Mitt-ROMNEY for Prez Yea! Thankya Humates. )))))

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Thanksgiving - to Native Americans

Maybe we can catch them out of the country and "secure our borders" get rid of the European misfits that came sneaking into our country.

America for Americans I say. English like Spanish is a foreign language.

I wonder how the massive financial institution failures will effect "rich white folks" don't you? One of those Harvard trained bankers got 131 million "to soothe his jangled nerves" when his bank found out how well he had managed it and "fired" him, (fire me already if that's the punishment). I guess the beach will stay rather crowded, for a while at least.

The smart money in dollars is being converted into reals. Brazil never had an integration or immigration problem and addressed their energy needs head on.

We can be like Brazil, energy independent in about a thousand years at out present rate. Actually 220 billion in government sponsored and operated, (like Apollo) research and development, (no private patents on processes etc) is all it takes. And about 7 years. How long can you set in a gas line? The "earth warmers" wonder how long you can tread water.

All our money is going to Allah who operates money heaven. Allah sho is hungry, on a steady diet of dollars. There's a rumor He's switching to some other diet, dollars getting vitamin thin. Allah's Thanksgiving is to the Bush administration.

We still got a lot of nuclear weapons. What would we be without them? "On The Beach" is a really old movie and hardly the place to give thanks.

.

Oh, well... Happy Thanksgiving Day!

But, even for a few moments, include the "Indians" outside in the cold, in your thoughts and prayers? For a fervent hope that families all over the world have the chance to celebrate a thanksgiving day like yours? Your family will be twice blessed!

Hope Thanksgiving Day's spirit does not go where Christmas Season's spirit has gone!

Salud!

This essay's "overindulgence" wasn't what struck me, it was that she was together with her family and friends.

In today's world, where family and friends are spread all over the globe, holidays are a sadly unique opportunity for everyone to be together.

Personally, I never cared for turkey and the stuffing made me sick (I'm allergic to wheat) so the food does nothing for me. But, watching my uncle and Dad debate politics, my sister dramatize the latest life-changing event and being with my mom as she spent hours over the meal that made all of us crash out afterwards in the den is what makes the day for me.

As we all get older these constants never change....even if the location does.

I have to comment that rich white americans over-indulging themselves IS the traditional Thanksgiving experience.
And this is supposed to enlighten us, how???
