Chuck Norris Dares Obama to Mention God on Thanksgiving – Cue Fox & Friends Smear

First, Chuck Norris complained in an op-ed about President Obama’s lack of public expressions of faith, a lie, since Obama has made many public expressions of his deep and heart-felt Christian faith. Fox & Friends picked up on this new opportunity to bash the president – seemingly the show’s raison d’être – and criticized Obama for it as well.

Then, two days later, when Obama appealed to the Bible with regards to his executive order on immigration, Fox & Friends threw the “Friends” thing under the bus and called his use of the Bible “repugnant” and “out of bounds.”

Now Chuckie is back with a new op-ed on WND called, OBAMA VS. GEORGE WASHINGTON ON THANKSGIVING Exclusive: Chuck Norris dares president to do 1 thing before holiday meal.

And yes, you guessed it, Norris is upset that President Obama doesn’t seem Christian enough on the Thanksgiving holiday. He charges:

In 2013, President Obama’s Thanksgiving Address didn’t give a single mention of the pilgrims, their Christian devotion or thanks to God. He did, however, share his gratitude for the Native Americans and their “generosity during that first Thanksgiving.” He gave a litany of “We give thanks,” but none of them included faith.

A specific group of immigrants who were for the most part religious bigots, intolerant, involved in radical superstition, and well known for harsh authoritarian government. Said immigrants did accept charity from Native people and delayed exterminating native people. The immigrants were also not invited did not have permission to immigrate by native land owners had no documentation or green card. Yes, let us celebrate Thanksgiving which was mostly Native American generosity to people most people would never want as neighbors.

I grew up with a lovely story that I now am extremely skeptical about.

So I'm going to reject the story while maintaining the tradition of getting together with people I know and don't know and being thankful for everything that I have.

No religion involved.

13. FACT: Chuck Norris doesn't fight Bruce Lee. He serves as Lee's punching bag.
