Hating America, even on Thanksgiving

    You know the left hates America.  Many on the hard left hate any Americans that dare to disagree with them.  They hate those who love this nation and believe that America is a great nation.

    The hard left cannot even accept something as simple as Thanksgiving.

    From CNS News:

    Forget all that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, today should be a day of fasting and atonement for American “sin.” That’s according to Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Jensen, known for his hard-left politics, also calls Thanksgiving a “white-supremacist holiday.”

    Jensen’s opinion piece “No Thanks for Thanksgiving,” appeared on the far-left, Soros-connected website Alternet on Thanksgiving eve. In it, he wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the “European invasion of the Americas.” He went on to compare the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany. “How does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?” he asked.

    According to Jensen, Thanksgiving is “at the heart of U.S. myth-building. “But in the United States, this reluctance to acknowledge our original sin -- the genocide of indigenous people -- is of special importance today,” he explained.

    Jensen has a long career in both working journalism and academia, including work as a copy editor at The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the St. Petersburg Times, as well as “volunteer editing and writing for the Texas Triangle, Austin (weekly statewide lesbian/gay paper).”

    This wasn’t the first time Jensen has bashed America. He does so on a regular basis. Other Alternet pieces include headlines like “The Painful Collapse of Empire: How the ‘American Dream’ and American Exceptionalism Wreck Havoc on the World” or “What White People Fear.”

    I am sick of these hard-core leftists.  If you Professor Jensen, do not like America, then get the hell out.  There are a lot of third world hellholes that embrace the philosophy this clown loves.

    The other issue is why taxpayers have to support idiots like Jensen.  Unfortunately many universities have become little more than full employment systems for leftists.  All a leftist has to do is get a tenure track position then they can go off and say any outrageous thing about America or real Americans.

    If someone like Jensen wants to run his mouth, he has the right to.  The taxpayers do not have to pay his salary.
