Another wasted holiday





"In any event, if you are celebrating President's Day, good on you. For those who feel like me, enjoy your day at work. The taxes you will have to pay on your wages will help pay the salaries of the millions of government workers who are NOT working today." 




Anybody doing anything special for President's Day? The day we honor ALL presidents. I bet the thing most folks are doing is trying to find daycare for their little darlings who are OFF of school (again). Can we be honest for a minute? Is there ANY value in having this day off? Tell the truth now. My vote is NO and NO again! When I was young, and the presidents honored were Washington and Lincoln, the day made sense to me. But this mishmash of all presidents? No way, Jose! 

For example, do you want to celebrate Jimmy Carter? Remember what happened on his watch? The turning of Iran to crap and the destruction of our economy. Or Bill Clinton - do we want to celebrate the president who redefined what a little blue dress is used for? And then lie about it under oath? Or the worst of the worst - Barack (Barry) Obama. The president who promised to bring us together, but instead put us as far away from each other as the east is from the west. Finally, we can't forget grandpa. Whatever damage Obama did to our country, grandpa is doubling down on it.

I know, I know. Many on the left have a list of red presidents they choose not to celebrate either. See what I mean? MOST people DO NOT want to celebrate ALL the presidents. They would rather just go to work, Wait - most people ARE working today. It is just government types which get ANOTHER paid day off! What a scam!

Why not have a diversity day as a national holiday? Or Cinco de Mayo as a national holiday. Or Lenin's birthday? There is an endless list of equal worthless holidays we can celebrate. Which reminds me - the two weeks off Congress is taking - is that due to President's Day? Just wondering.

In any event, if you are celebrating President's Day, good on you. For those who feel like me, enjoy your day at work. The taxes you will have to pay on your wages will help pay the salaries of the millions of government workers who are NOT working today.

  2. I've seen the claim more than once: The day's still officially *Washington's Birthday*. Not being official, I can't say much more. Not sure, though, that it's meant to honor *all* presidents. Anyhow--there's news that Dems posted something about their living ex-presidents but failed to include JEC, who's not quite dead yet!
