Tell
someone about a separatist Thanksgiving these days and an excitable citizen
might just turn you in as an un-American subversive to the "human
rights" thought police at the Justice Department.
After
all, Bill Clinton has gleefully prophesied the end of a white majority in the
But
as the melting pot begins to appear more and more as a witches' cauldron, the

This
is perhaps most apposite during our national Thanksgiving holiday which, when
contemplated beyond the culinary silhouette of "Turkey Day,"
furnishes us with at least a nodding acquaintance with the Pilgrims of Plymouth
Rock.
And
there lies the difficulty for our neo-Bolshevik mandarins of media and
government, because everything about the Pilgrims runs counter to the modern
philosophy of deracinated homogenization, including their very name.
One
aspect of the modern disease is the refusal to name a thing. Weasel words are
substituted, neologisms are coined and origins are thereby suppressed. We live
in the age of compression and abbreviation. We are in too much of a hurry even
to call our states by their actual names, so that

the same token we have dubbed those stalwart visionaries who in 1620 peopled

the first Americans used the dirtiest pejorative in the slambook of political
correctness to describe themselves mocks the activities of contemporary liberal
hysterics who seek to squeeze our nation's two-fisted history into a cosmetic
strait-jacket of prissy conformity to doctrines the Plymouth Fathers would have
execrated.
The
hidden truth is that those responsible for creating the first American
political entity in history were Separatists who were opposed to the
establishment and suffered affliction and exile. Yet today our rulers have the
gall to tell us that we have no right to be separatists.
The
sickly One World hybrid promoted by Comrades Bill and Hilary and their alleged
Republican rivals, bears no resemblance to the world the Pilgrims made. Let us
give thanks for that fact and for the fact that it is those who hold aloft the
tattered banner of separatism today who are the true emulators and rightful
heirs of the Separatists of Plymouth Rock.
