Lincoln started tradition of pardoning Thanksgiving Turkey Comments re article 48446 Background on Pardoning of the National Thanksgiving Turkey Jon Halsey writes: Would have been nice for the WH (White House. CM) Press Release to have mentioned that it was President Lincoln, at his young son's, tearful request, who issued the first Presidential Pardon for the Thanksgiving Turkey.That's a wonderful historical tidbit: Thanks for the reminder. The White House did overlook that similarity between the current and then president, and especially what a wonderfully liberal thinker Lincoln was, coming out of one of the greatest progressive progenitors of any American Political party ever, the The Ripon Society. It's also a reminder of the hope that there may be better days ahead for Lincoln's Republican Party may, someday, soon, again be steered by real progressives the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Marlow Cook, Jacob Javits, John Sherman Cooper David Heskamp, Gerald Ford, Albert Van Zant, Dwight Eisenhower and Tim Lee Carter. Thanks for the reminder. Neither party has a lock on honest to goodness American values, Christian principles of decency and inclusion, and the esssential cement of American society, pluralism. -EW This story was posted on 2011-11-24 05:52:26
