RUSH have some kind of grudge against native Indians,[I wander why?] I listened to his radio program daily. he was mad as hell when obama got a blessing from an Indian chef when he was running for president.I can’t say more about pilgrims and native Indians all I can say is read college history books and decide for yourselves which history is right.

I always wonder what those natives whom still retained some aspect of their ancestral culture and language think of thanks giving day, as Americas gorge themselves silly on the bounty that was……

Whatever some folks want to come up with their own version of history such as trying to justy their “Thanksgiving “by refering the Bible does not the what happened at that particular moment of history.European Settlers went to differene parts of the globe not to work and develop together with the natives and bring about justice and equality. On the contrary, they made kind of pilgrimages under the cover of religion/Bible and later they enriched themselves by evicting and dehumanizing the indigenous people. That is why we can safely say there was/is acrime behind the sucesses of the settlers. I really do not beleive that this ‘Thanksgiving’ tradition has anything to do with the real sense of religious values. How can one say “thanks God” for being satisfied while he evicted and make the natives less humans ? I do not think God is happy to accept this kind of gratitude .

#5/6 (Amare), are you serious???

Did you READ the article????? Rush Limbaugh is talking about the history of Thanksgiving in the United States of America — Not about Ethiopia. In fact, if you listen to Rush Limbaugh, he could care less about Ethiopians because Ethiopia is in AFRICA!

And oh yes, I could care less how much money Rush Limbaugh makes–I too am a college degreed professional, with a career, and living within the means that I have carefully chosen to live within; however, the difference between Rush Limbaugh and I, is that I travel to Ethiopia and support the livelihood and/or economy of many Ethiopians whereas Rush Limbaugh has yet to set foot in Addis Abeba or anywhere near Ethiopia or (East Africa for that matter) to help or assist with enriching the lives of Ethiopian children and/or families, to help with schools for the promoting of life-long learners, or to eridacate poverty.

Million???? Why are you parading his millions around for him? I seriously doubt if he’s contributing his millions to you or to anyone in Ethiopia. Why??? Because Rush don’t care about Ethiopia–that will be the day!

Reread the article from the POV of to whom Rush is speaking to and speaking about–Americans!

And for the record, Rush is a dope-addicted-hot-mess that stirs up hate through his radio program…get a clue!

#4 ,please wakeup. What makes you upset about this article?
Rush explains about Socialism. Ethiopia is still in Socialism, the land belongs to Woyanne. The farmers are not putting to much effort on their land , because they don’t what will come tomorrow. Today the land belong to theirs , next day Woyanne will take away from them and give it to somebody who is the member of EPDRF. Are you denying that farmers are loosing their land and given to the Arebs, Indians , etc. The Ethiopian farmers are not the owners of their land.
Ethiopia is still under Socialism, anybody can kick you out anytime with no reason.
Belford fiind out about Socialism 400 years ago.
Read the rest, please.

I feel sorry for Rush Limbaugh.

What does Former President Bill Clinton or President Barack Obama have to do with “that” version of Thanksgiving?

Rush needs to get help for not only his drug habit, but for his hate — they both have left a deep void in his soul.

Finally, America has a man full of wisdom for President — Rush Limbaugh, get over it!

It is not a perspective. It is based upon the historical documents of the time. So it is the truth.

The Virginia Thanksgiving was the date of arrival observed in perpituity. The Pilgrim tale is a triumph of human spirit in overcomming an oppresive set of rules and setting the tone for these united states.

Mr. Limbaugh,

The first Thanksgiving was held at Berkley Plantation on Virginia’s James River years before that at Plymouth, Massachussetts. It has been continued since that time, even this year. The Virginia colony was established seven years before that at Plymouth. Too bad that publishers in the northern United States produced the nation’s first textbooks. They have held to that story since that time. We in the southern states know of the other Thanksgiving.
