thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we should give thanks for fossil fuels – and promote them for rest of world.

John Nothdurft and Donny Kendal present episode #116 of the In The Tank Podcast. Today’s podcast features work from the American Council on Science and Health and the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Donny is rejoined by John in episode #65 of the In The Tank Podcast. Today’s podcast features work from the Heritage Foundation, Reason Magazine, the American Farm Bureau Federation, and the Heartland Institute.

This year, when we sit around our dining table with our family and friends, let us also remember that what we are really celebrating is the birth of free men and free enterprise in that New World of America.

Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and many of us will spend time with our families eating too much food and strategically waiting for couch spots to open up so we can sneak in a quick catnap when our unsuspecting relatives abandon their posts for another slice of pie. It’s a time when we are thankful for the friends, family, and food. We should also be thankful for fracking. Although many people may not know it, fracking has lowered the cost of energy and other goods and services, makes America more energy-independent, and it is done in an environmentally responsible way.

Once again, government will get to decide which industries, companies, workers and families win – and which one lose. We just get to pay.

Turkey: Thursday is, of course, Thanksgiving. A holiday which celebrates our inconceivable good fortune and tremendous bounty. Most of us celebrate our good fortune – by joining with family and friends to consume massive amounts of bounty.

In episode #13 of the In The Tank Podcast, Hosts Donny Kendal and John Nothdurft look forward to 2016. This weekly podcast features (as always) interviews, debates, roundtable discussions, stories, and light-hearted segments on a variety of topics on the latest news. The show is available for download as part of the Heartland Daily Podcast every Friday.

We are grateful for many things on this Thanksgiving Day, but we are especially grateful for the freedom we still enjoy in America to vigorously advocate these principles and to espouse our perspectives and policy prescriptions. And, we are grateful that, if you differ, you still enjoy the same freedom

This time of the year, whether in good economic times or bad, is when Americans gather with their families and friends and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together. It marks a remembrance of those early Pilgrim Fathers who crossed the uncharted ocean from Europe to make a new start in Plymouth, Massachusetts. What is less appreciated is that Thanksgiving also is a celebration of the birth of free enterprise in America.

Depending on where you’re from — and how you were raised — that wonderful accompaniment to the turkey is either called stuffing, or it’s called dressing. Let’s get beyond the usual stuff,…
