Thanksgiving, to me, is one of the most important and meaningful holidays on our calendar.

There's a rich tradition for this holiday that dates back, not just through American history, but thousands of years through the history of the Jewish people.

Too often, today, we dwell on the problems we face, on the obstacles in our way, on the hurdles blocking our progress as individuals and as a society. There are certainly many that we deal with in the news business on a daily basis. There are horrors and evils we must confront and expose.

Yet, there is much for which to be thankful.

I'm personally thankful for my wife, Elizabeth, my children, and my extended family for the personal, unconditional love and inspiration they give me to carry on.

I'm thankful for the people who surround me in my work here at WorldNetDaily.com.

I'm thankful for a small group of people who, like me, battle every day to confront injustice - Judicial Watch's Larry Klayman, my good friend and attorney, Rush and David Limbaugh, Geoff Metcalf, Jane Chastain, Chuck Harder, Michael Reagan, Melanie Morgan, Warren Duffy, George Putnam, Ray Briem, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell, Sean Hannity, Ted Baehr and others. These are folks who will never run for political office but make a far more important contribution to our culture through their conscience-driven activism.

I'm thankful for a small group of journalistic colleagues, as well. I think, especially, of Bill Gertz, Matt Drudge, Robert Morton, Doug Thompson, and Paul Sperry - all of whom stand up to the establishment, to the conventions of our day, in their relentless desire to seek truth.

I'm thankful for those who came before us in America and left us with at least the vestiges of freedom - from George Washington to Ronald Reagan.

I'm thankful there are hundreds of thousands of people out there in America and throughout the world who turn to WorldNetDaily for their news every day.

I'm thankful for some of my closest friends who have been with me through some trying times in my life - especially Jesse Corti and Mark Masters.

I'm thankful I'm alive, I'm healthy and I am able to speak out on the issues of the day. I'm thankful I've been blessed with a talent to inform people, to entertain them, and to make them think.

All of these thanks are directed one place - toward Heaven, to God. That's what Thanksgiving is really all about. Don't forget it as you sit down to enjoy your turkey today. This is a very spiritual American holiday - or at least it should be. Remember to invite God to your table today. Ask Him to continue blessing America - to purge it of evil and to shower it with His love.

We don't deserve what we have, America. So it would be a good time to get down on your knees and thank God for His grace, His mercy and His bountiful blessings. That's what I'll be doing today. And I'll be thinking of all of you and hoping and praying you do the same.
