In The United States, this is the week of Thanksgiving, a time we once set aside the fourth Thursday in November to give Thanks and remember those who risked everything to flee religious persecution and sail on three ships across The Atlantic to find the New World.

But, like many things in our great country, Thanksgiving has been warped, thanks not only to the liberal direction taken over the past 50 years, but as well as greed, into just another day to go out and shop.

On Thanksgiving Day not too many decades ago, you could go around town and not find many businesses open.  Aside from Convenience Stores, which there were much less of, Pharmacies, and restaurants within hotels, most all other businesses were closed, so their staff could be off for the day, usually with pay, to spend with family and friends in celebration of this great day.

But alas, this great day to give Thanks in our nation has been destroyed.

Not just by Walmart, but by all other merchants that follow Walmart’s lead.

Since the economic depression of 2009, the retail stakes have been raised greatly. 

Walmart’s competitors open earlier and earlier to offer so called “bargains” to kick off the holiday season.

These raised stakes come at a great cost. 

Our retailers greed for sales has destroyed what was our day to give Thanks.

What will these greedy merchants do next? 

Start opening on our holiest of days, Christmas?

Our liberal media and along side of it, the liberal leadership of our nation has for over 50 years turned us from a nation that realized there were consequences to our actions, into a nation that thinks there are no consequences for our actions, among minions of other things.

Unfortunately, there are severe consequences to our actions.

Most seriously, the employees of these greedy companies are being forced to make the choice between having a job or having to work on Thanksgiving Day.

Christmas season begins earlier and earlier each year. 

Once upon a time, not all that long ago, you could walk into a store in September and with the exception of craft and hobby stores or departments, you would not find a sign of Christmas.

This year, we were not even past Labor Day before Walmart’s so called Layaway (which is the subject of another article soon to be re-released) started up again.

It is time for Walmart’s liberal leadership to turn back the clock.

Christmas Shopping Season begins on the day after Thanksgiving, at 5am, period.

If Walmart makes this one step, we will return our nation back to what Thanksgiving is intended for, giving Thanks for all we have!

We hope our readers will this year spend their time home, with family and friends, giving Thanks instead of going out and spending money in stores. 

Any “non-essential” merchant that is open on Thanksgiving Day, is truly “non-essential” the other 364 ¼ days each year.
