THANKSGIVING
21 Reasons to Give Thanks

This Thanksgiving, progressives have a lot to be thankful for. Here's our list:

We're thankful for 
<http://www.usocares.org/src/uso_home.htm>our country's troops.

We're thankful America 
<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/06/109-congress/>dumped the 109th Congress.

We're thankful Rick Santorum will have more free 
time to <http://thinkprogress.org/2006/06/21/santorum-wmd/>find the WMD.

We're thankful we don’t have to go to war with 
the 
<http://www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/2004/tr20041208-secdef1761.html>Secretary 
of Defense we had.

We're thankful for "red state values," like 
<http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2006/SD/2006-11-08-abortion-ban_x.htm>protecting 
reproductive rights, 
<http://www.missouricures.com/rel_110706.php>supporting 
stem cell research, and 
<http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1108AzGayMarriage08-ON.html>rejecting 
discrimination.

We're thankful Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who 
calls climate change the 
"<http://inhofe.senate.gov/pressreleases/climateupdate.htm>greatest 
hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," 
will no longer chair the Senate environmental committee.

We're thankful that 
<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/06/wapo-new-media/>Matt 
Drudge does not rule our world.

We're thankful Al Gore helped the country face 
the <http://www.climatecrisis.net/>inconvenient truth.

We're thankful Bill O'Reilly does not resort to 
name calling - well, besides labeling the 
Progress Report/ThinkProgress as 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/18/oreilly-oj-simpson-2/>far 
left loons," 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/18/oreilly-oj-simpson-2/>kool-aid 
zombies," 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/28/oreilly-hired-guns/>hired 
guns," 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/28/oreilly-hired-guns/>vile," 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/23/oreilly-thinkprogress-haters/>haters," 
a 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/04/27/oreilly-attacks-tp/>far 
left smear website," and 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2005/10/26/oreilly-character-assassination/>a 
very well-oiled, effective character assassination machine."

We're thankful 
<http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/story.aspx?siteid=mktw&guid=%7B17AFD8BB-152A-4B42-92E6-D9EF48E2D0CB%7D>minimum 
wage ballot initiatives passed in six states.

We're thankful the 
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwc5YSAc-7g>Dixie 
Chicks aren't ready to make nice.

We're thankful Ted Haggard bought the meth but 
<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/03/ted-haggard-admits-buying-meth-from-male-prostitute/>never 
used it.

We're thankful for the 
<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/11/thank-you-for-fighting/>100,000 
readers who responded to our Tell the Truth About 9/11 campaign.

We're thankful for 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/23/bush-says-he-uses-the-google/>the 
Google" and 
"<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/14/hwbloggers/>the 
email" (and the 
"<http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0715-06.htm>series 
of tubes" that make them possible) -- but not 
iPods, which are 
<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/20/oreilly-ipod/>endangering our nation.

We're thankful 
<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/29/foley-reelection/>Maf54

up and Bill O'Reilly's ratings are down.

We're thankful President Bush's secret plan for 
Iraq is 
<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/18/burns-iraq-plan/>safe with Conrad Burns.

We're thankful we won't spend Thanksgiving 
<http://thinkprogress.org/2006/02/12/cheney-accidentally-shoots-78-year-old-man/>turkey 
hunting with Dick Cheney.

We're thankful the 
"<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9wJqvmPfQc>Decider" 
only gets to make the decision <http://www.newprez.com/>789 more days.

And last but not least: We're thankful to the
