"Make 9/11 a national holiday" So say the freepers.

[KyndCulture]

I was skipping around some of the ugliest right wing blogs today and I kept coming across this statement.. .

"Let's petition congress to make 9/11 a national holiday" seems they are trying to rally up their 33% into a wee tiny lil freeper movement on this idea.

Now, me, I personally think making a holiday out of death and destruction to be morbid and gruesome.

What do you guys think?

1. Is Dec. 7 a national holiday?

[Deja Q]

8. Isn't that the day Reagan called catsup a vegetable?

:hide:



(:sarcasm:)

[KyndCulture]

10. *LOL*

Good one.

Aren't they screaming for Reagan day yet???

[librechik]

2. check your calendar; it IS a national holiday: "Patriot Day"

not sure when that happened...

[KyndCulture]

3. Didn't know that.

But it's not a federal holiday... I was thinking they meant a day they get off work and the banks are closed and such.

But who knows, reading those blogs hurts my head.

5. Here's the proclamation of patriot day (sick)

But I do believe they meant a federal holiday not just a named day.

4. methinks these hard workin' freepers

are looking for another excuse to have a day off from work.

[spag68]

6. holiday

Great plan the idiots have here, make a holiday out of a tragedy.

[Deja Q]

7. It's already one: 'Patriot Day'. And as with Xmas,

many people do work that day.

[KyndCulture]

9. It is a proclaimed day..

but not a federal holiday... like Presidents day or Labor Day... that kinda thing... they just want off work! LOL

11. disgusting and stupid

A day off work for a terror attack now that's disgusting! Am I surprised by this? nope!
Dream on stupid freeps if you think the RepubliCon Corporatistas are going to give you a day off of work.
You are slaves as far as they see, it's class warfare and your just to blinded by the right to see it!

[KyndCulture]

LOL

They don't know their slaves yet! Isn't that the problem with the sheep?

[Mel]

18. you know it-sheep

There are so many reasons for the sheep and unfortunately there is not a quick fix for it and in some cases it's impossible.

Some days I see light at the end of the tunnel and on some days all I can see is the flying monkey right.

12. Kind of convenient that its right in the middle of election season

Now that I think about it.

Yes, it is sick to make a national tragedy a holidy.

[Marr]

13. As if they have jobs.

What? They want mom to let them ignore the lawn that day?

[TheFriedPiper]

14. They want to celebrate when America ceased to be free

And rejoice in their newfound fascism.

Republicans ARE terrorists, they rule by fear.

[EarlG]

15. Ugh, can you imagine?

I can't wait for BLOWOUT 9/11 SALES DAY, BUY NOW, PAY LATER!!!! at all my local car dealerships. Or CELEBRATE 9/11 WITH LOW LOW PRICES ON SOFAS, RUGS AND MORE, AT THE ROOM STORE!!!

Blech.

[KyndCulture]

16. Patriot Day sales in every store.

OMG... I can even see the orange neon signs in my head.

GROSS

17. "Make 9/11 a national holiday" So say the freepers.

Sounds pretty communistic to me. :evilgrin: Typical nazi party wanting more govt.

[NoPasaran]

19. I say go ahead. We can trade it for July 4

Since there's hardly any point in a day celebrating freedom anymore.

[lonestarnot]

22. Yeah and the Constitution is just a gd piece of paper these days.

[kevinmc]

20. I was thinking the same thing .........

Getting Congress to make it a PAID National Holiday ..... the Republicans would go against it ..... cheap fucks.

[ComerPerro]

21. Freepers LOVE 9/11. They treat it like a holiday

to celebrate their glorious leader and their faux patriotism.

Seriously, watch how they act as 9/11 approaches each year. They are like kids at Christmas. They are a sick death cult.

[Connie_Corleone]

23. They want a holiday to celebrate the deaths of 3,000 people??

[Generator]

24. Smells like hot dogs and beer!

End of the summer holiday! WOOHOO!

[AnnieBW]

25. Ick, no.

#1, it would eliminate Labor Day as a holiday, because it's a week later.

#2, can you imagine the sales, like they have for President's Day, Columbus Day, etc.? I'm surprised that the car companies don't have a sale for MLK Day.
