In an interview with WAMC on Monday, incompetent New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said we should have “a deeper, more spiritual, more principled Thanksgiving,” where we’re thankful for people like “the seniors who sacrificed so much,” and that “if that’s what you’re thankful for, and that’s what you’re honoring, then you’re respectful in your behavior. Be alone physically, be connected spiritually.”
“I’m trying to say to people now, you know, you watch all these commercials on TV and they’re selling commercial Thanksgiving, right? 20 people around the table, pass me the wine, pass me this. That’s not happening. That can’t happen. It can’t happen,” the totalitarian Cuomo asserted.
“And why don’t we say this is a special Thanksgiving, where it’s actually a deeper, more spiritual, more principled Thanksgiving, where we’re really being thankful for this year, and we’re being thankful for the doctors and the nurses and the essential workers, and we’re being thankful for the seniors who sacrificed so much, didn’t get to see anyone?” he continued. “And if that’s what you’re thankful for, and that’s what you’re honoring, then you’re respectful in your behavior. Be alone physically, be connected spiritually. That’s what this real Thanksgiving would be about, if you took out the commercialization, right?”
Isolating yourself on Thanksgiving is not a rejection of commercialization; it’s a rejection of the bonds of family, community, and nation. It’s not a spiritual, principled gesture of gratitude; it’s compliance to a big-government mandate. It’s not respectful; it’s capitulation to a leftist-induced panic.
