What I Think About The Kids Dressing Up Like Puritans & Indians For Thanksgiving!

We have done away with kids dressing up for Halloween in most schools. So, to avert accusations of stereotyping people,I think kids should not make these "costumes" because of the true story behind Thanksgiving. We should concentrate on making it a day of appreciation for all that we have here in America thanks,in part, to the American Indians. I know that some of the descendants of the Puritans want to remain insensitive to the fact that their forebears committed great acts of genocide against the American Indians. That part of the Thanksgiving tale is often omitted which makes the American Indians upset. They are Native Americans,meaning this was once their land. It's hard for them to see those who took it from them in such a brutal fashion be glorified on Christopher Colombus Day & Thanksgiving. We must find a way to present history in the truest light possible. Until we do,African-Americans will continue to be incensed by the pride some have in the history of the Confederacy & the Confederate flag and so forth & so on.You can't distort the past & not acknowledge the pain & anguish that so many different racial groups have suffered in America.

Anderson Cooper Is Less Impassioned Than Keith Olbermann About Prop. 8 Even Though He Is Gay!

In this video, Anderson Cooper of CNN interviews S.F. Mayor Gavin Newsom about Proposition 8. He seems to be totally indifferent to the subject even though he allegedly has a live-in boyfriend for almost 2 years now. According to Jossip:

"More than two years later … and Anderson Cooper is still dating the same guy? Though we've heard rumors about different paramours in between, 27-ish wine importer Julio Cesar Recio was just spotted leaving LAX with a passport-equipped Cooper."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here:http://www.jossip.com/anderson-cooper-jetting-off-for-lovers-escape-20081125/

Now, look at Keith Olbermann's very enraged rant about the passage of Proposition 8. I just wonder how honest Anderson Cooper is with himself since he's "keeping them honest". And so does Keith Olbermann. This is an excerpt from AfterElton.com:

"He's repeatedly taken on the Bush Administration, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and pretty much anyone else he suspects of being a hypocrite. Turns out Olbermann's outspokenness extends to his fellow news anchor Anderson Cooper of CNN. In a recent interview with New York Magazine Olbermann has this to say about Anderson (recently "outed" so to speak by Out magazine):

"Don’t tell me you don’t want to talk about personal life when you wrote a book about your father’s death and your brother’s death. You can’t move this big mass of personal stuff out for public display, then people ask questions and you say, ‘Oh, no, I didn’t say there was going to be any questions.’ It’s the same thing as the Bush administration saying, ‘We’re going to war, but you really aren’t allowed to know why."

Don't hold back there, Keith! But that isn't all. Olbermann goes on to say:

"Don’t tell me you can’t talk about your personal life and then, when they send you overseas and you do a report that consists of your voice-over and pictures of you in a custom-made, blue-to-match-your-eyes bulletproof vest, looking somberly at these scenes of human devastation—like a tourist—and that’s your report. Your shtick is your personal life."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://www.afterelton.com/blog/michaeljensen/msnbcs-keith-olbermann-takes-on-anderson-cooper

The Indian Mujahideen Threatened Mumbai With Terror Attacks Back In September!!

The group that is now claiming responsibility for these attacks had threatened to attack Mumbai back in September through e-mail.Here's the excerpt from the September edition of Deccan Herald:

"Accusing Mumbai Police’s ATS of harassing Muslims, Indian Mujahideen said in its email that it was closely watching the ATS.



"If this is the degree your arrogance has reached, and if you think that by these stunts you can scare us, then let the Indian Mujahideen warn all the people of Mumbai that whatever deadly attacks Mumbaikars will face in future, their responsibility would lie with the Mumbai ATS and their guardians – Vilasrao Deshmukh and R R Patil,” the email said. “You are already on our hit-list and this time very very seriously.”


The terror outfit also threatened to target a senior Rajasthan police official. “All the Mujahideen who shook Jaipur are absolutely safe and secure, and are preparing for our next targets, one of which is A K Jain – the DIG of Rajasthan,” claimed Indian Mujahideen."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here:http://www.deccanherald.com/CONTENT/Sep152008/scroll2008091590090.asp?section=frontpagenews

This video is an Australian woman's eyewitness account which is quite detailed. She says this terrorist act in Mumbai is "10 times worse than 9/11"!
