A DEPICTION OF OUR INNOCENCE CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING

Analytically I look from the bottom up.  A sign someone is not an analyst is in their comments they use top-down analysis one day and bottom up the next day.  This means random thoughts not based on any theoretical base.  OMG top to bottom analysis is always wrong.  You cannot judge yesterday based on today.  You must look to the path of yesterday if you want an insightful understanding of today - without judgment.

I AM SO TIRED OF THE SIMPLISTIC MEME COMMENTS WHICH SEEM TO PROMOTE VIOLENCE

It is not that these simplistic meme comments directly promote violence, they just take away the need to understand why things are as they are. I hate the comment looking at Nazi Germany with, "and they said they were just taking orders."  Pure simpleton BS.

Order requires compliance with the command.  I learned that in the military.  If you want to know chaos, tell every soldier to decide if every order they receive is legal.  Our Republic will die.  Having said that I believe as part of our freedom everyone has a right to direct our soldiers to not follow illegal orders.  It is truly an empty statement by simpletons.  It only becomes dangerous when we have enlisted personnel claiming a war is illegal and they will not follow orders.  As if an enlisted person knows international law well enough to know when a war is legal or illegal.

I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AT ANY LEVEL WHO PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE TO PROTECT US

I know firsthand what a spouse feels like when they night after night wait for their spouse to come home after their shift on the NYPD.  They never get used to it.  They suffer not knowing if their spouse will come home after the shift.

What happened yesterday in DC with the national guardspersons was terrible.  I have no use for Trump's national guard policy, but that does not mean I do not support our national guard.  They were given orders to be in DC, and they were keeping the oath.

I wish Thanksgiving could be as innocent as Charlie Brown sees it.  But it is not.  If we believe in Ordered Liberty, Thanksgiving becomes complex.  Law enforcement may not make sense to us at times, but we must be thankful every day they do their best to keep us safe.   It is for this I am thankful.
