(27,310 posts)International Workers Day with base jingoism, its not going to happen. The vast majority of laborers around the world do not forget our American foremothers and forefathers bravery and I am proud that they celebrate it. And am proud that pro-labor and pro-union (as beleaguered as we may be), reject "loyalty day" in the good ole US of A.
(As an aside... foremothers shows up as a misspelling; forefathers does not... interesting.)

(68,868 posts)nefarious agenda in doing that rote loyalty day declaration per the statute?
More likely that he doesn't give a shit and just does it because it would cause him political problems to become the first president ever to not do it ex post the stautute's enactment--a lame tradition that serves as its own justification.
Loyalty day is a creepy concept, just to be clear where we agree.

Not only does he not give a shit but he catapults the propaganda of not giving a shit by promoting a government created "day" of not giving a shit.
