It is late, but I recently became aware of Rush Limbaugh’s rant on President Obama’s Thanksgiving expression of respect and gratitude to the Native Americans.
The article below contains Mr. Limbaugh’s comments:

Mr. Limbaugh seems to deny that the European Pilgrims were in any way imperfect or that the Native Americans were/are in any way admirable. After calling President Obama’s expression of appreciation to the Native Americans as a “wildly distorted” view of the historical significance of the holiday, Mr. Limbaugh summed up his own beliefs about Thanksgiving. He explained that the “true story of Thanksgiving is how socialism failed.” He added that “the Indians didn't teach us capitalism" and "we shared our bounty with them… because we first failed as socialists."
How nice of Mr. Limbaugh to set us straight. Previously, I had always believed the point of Thanksgiving was for us to express gratitude to our omnipotent, loving and every-faithful God for the gifts he has bestowed upon us.
Philippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Colossians 4:2
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.
I am sorry you are having trouble seeing your point and his point in this story. Both are accurate and welcomed views. Christ was born in a manager because there was no room for them at the inn. Do you know why they had to stay overnight in the stable? Are you aware of the other part od this most important story? Why were there no rooms in the town for them to stay in? I am interested.
