THIS DAY – AT 8:44 A.M. ET:  It is Thanksgiving, and we wish you all the most pleasant and reflective of days.  As usual, we will be driving to Virginia to celebrate the holiday with our family's Southern wing.  Okay, they don't fly the stars and bars or lament the "lost cause," but they're Southern just the same. 

We have much for which to be thankful, but I worry.  I worry that in ten years we might not be celebrating Thanksgiving at all.  No, Americans won't have their freedoms taken away.  We are not about to repeal the Bill of Rights.   I worry that we will simply give up our freedoms as we bow at the altar of political correctness.  Will we be "embarrassed" to celebrate Thanksgiving ten years hence, told that the holiday is evil, a symbol of oppression and European colonization?  Some people will yield to that absurd notion, as we watch their eyes switch from side to side, eager to learn whether their obeisance to the left will win them an invitation to a desired cocktail party. 

Americans are becoming more and more aware of political correctness, something that used to be called "the party line," and they are becoming aware of its costs.   On this day let us be thankful that we have the right to fight back against this new form of mind control, to defeat it, to commit it to the dustbin of history, where it belongs.

Exercise that right.
