Thanksgiving Day Links

Happy Thanksgiving to our American readers. Here are two posts to keep in mind on this day of giving thanks. The Bill Black post is meant for progressives but I think is applicable for all of us. The second post is a reminder that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. About this TSA dust-up, some think Americans just need to ‘grow up’. But, in truth, this is the same sort of mentality that led to Mexican repatriations and Japanese internments in the 20th century. Ron Paul said it well: the American people have been too submissive.

P.S. – I am sure the masses can be appeased with some bread and circuses. Skip Black Friday Mobs; Get Great Deals from Your Couch
