    Scary thought: many of the same arguments used against Columbus Day will be turned toward undermining the Thanksgiving holiday.

        Because thanksgiving disproportionately honors the myth of an historical figure who was flawed even by the standards of his own time?

        You must live a pretty good and safe life if that's what scares you with everything that's going on in our country.

        Difference is that we would welcome any excuse to avoid our relatives. America; creating family conflicts since 1765.

        Imagine the horror... people not allowed to have a gathering with family and friends. Everyone knows it's only legal on holidays.

        Lincoln's thanksgiving proclamation, which established the modern holiday, doesn't mention pilgrims or Indians http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/thanks.htm …

        You have to know that Columbus Day can't compare to the economic powerhouse that is Thanksgiving...I think it is pretty safe

        Slowly & methodically. Same as: how do you move a people to not admire their heritage.

        I mean, what actions are taken that alerts you a holiday is being undermined? What does that even mean?

        Unlike most pundits (who tend to be BULLIES), you're willing to hear an opposing point of view. Good quality to have.
