Leprechaun here~
The Dragon is already busy stuffing himself (big surprise there) under the guises of supervising the meal prep so it falls to me to write our Thanksgiving message (another BIG surprise right?).
Just HOW busy and concerned was he in his supervising and tasting? Well SO busy in fact that he forgot I had placed this message in the drafts folder yesterday and when pointedly reminded of the fact I was told he was too greasy of claw and full of maw and belly to attend to it as he needed a nap to digest his supervisory tasting before dinner. THEN he told me to send out for more pies as we were already out of them!
So here goes:
“Two hundred years ago, the Congress of the United States issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation stating that it was ‘the indispensable duty of all nations’ to offer both praise and supplication to God. Above all other nations of the world, America has been especially blessed and should give special thanks. We have bountiful harvests, abundant freedoms, and a strong, compassionate people. I have always believed that this anointed land was set apart in an uncommon way, that a divine plan placed this great continent here between the oceans to be found by people from every corner of the Earth who had a special love of faith and freedom. Our pioneers asked that He would work His will in our daily lives so America would be a land of morality, fairness, and freedom. Today we have more to be thankful for than our pilgrim mothers and fathers who huddled on the edge of the New World that first Thanksgiving Day could ever dream. We should be grateful not only for our blessings, but for the courage and strength of our ancestors which enable us to enjoy the lives we do today. Let us reaffirm through prayers and actions our thankfulness for America’s bounty and heritage.” —Ronald Reagan
Today is Thanksgiving. we here at DragonLaffs have plenty to be thankful for, including our wonderful families and staff. You readers make our labors worthwhile every day. We will always be thankful for your attention.
Since it’s Thanksgiving, We’ve decided to give our great staff a break. Instead of going to the office, they’re coming to my house. They will cook a huge meal, wait on me and then, wash my car! Naaah, that’s a joke. They’ll be off Thursday (saves on the payroll gold for which I’m personally thankful as Thanksgiving dinner for a Dragon is near to financial ruin).
We hope you and yours have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Day. Let’s not forget to be thankful for all the brave men and women at home and abroad who are at their posts to protect us military and non military alike. Say a prayer for our troops who are in harm’s way. Enjoy your holiday, and thank you for your continued loyal readership again this year.
Irish Thanksgiving Prayer
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
About lethalleprechaun
I believe in being the kind of man who, when my feet touch the floor in the morn', causes the Devil to say "BUGGER ME! HIMSELF IS UP!"
========
I'm a White Married Heterosexual who fervently believes in the war(s) we are fighting, the Second Amendment which I plan on defending with my last breath and my last round of ammunition as well as Arizona's stringent law on Immigration and the need for the border wall.
I'm a right of center Con-centrist with Tea Party & Republican sympathies who drives an SUV. I am a Life Time Member of the NRA, a Charter Member of the Patriots' Border Alliance and North American Hunters Association. If there is a season for it and I can shoot one I'll eat it and proudly wear its fur. I believe PETA exists solely to be a forum for Gays, Vegetarians, Hollywood snobbery to stupid to get into politics and Soybean Growers.
The ACLU stopped protecting our civil liberties sometime after the 1960s and now serves its own bigoted headline grabbing agenda much in the same way as the Southern Poverty Law Center. I am ecstatic that WE the PEOPLE finally got mad enough to rise up and take back the Government from WE the ENTITLED and reverently wish the Liberals would just get over the loss and quit whining/protesting all the time. After all they're just reaping what they've sown.
I am Pro-choice both when it comes to the issue of abortion AND school prayer. I believe in a government for the people, by the people which represents and does the people's will. Therefore I an Pro States rights and mandatory term limits but against special interest group campaign contributions and soft money. I think that sports teams who allow their players to sit or take a knee during the National Anthem should be boycotted until the message is received that this is not acceptable behavior for role models for children.
I believe Congressional salaries should be voted on bi-annually by the people they represent and not by themselves. I think Congress should be subject to every law they pass on the populace including any regarding Social Security or Healthcare. Speaking of the Healthcare bill (or con job as I see it) I hope Trump will overturn it and set things back to normal.
I oppose the building of an Mosque or ANY Islamic center at or within a 10 mile radius of Ground Zero in New York. I will fight those in favor of this until hell freezes over and then I will continue to fight it hand to hand on the ice. Further I think the ban on immigrants from certain nations known to harbor and promote terrorism is a justified measure, at least until we can come up with better methods of vetting and tracking those non citizens we allow in the country. We did not inflict this measure on them those who refuse to point out, denounce or fight radical religious terrorism brought this upon themselves.
