Are you freaking kidding me?

EDIT: Apparently Loyaly Day has roots in the 1920s and then later in the McCarthy Era. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_Day Weird, I don't think I've ever heard of it before.

I am rather alarmed and freaked out by this.

Posting in my own LJ.

Huh.

Apparently there is a long trandition of this day I've never heard of before - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_Day

Wow. Just... Crazy.

Totally freaky.
"Americanization Day"??

We are a scary country sometimes.

Completely.

Damn, those Communists have a day about labor practices and people are dacing around May Poles somewhere. Damnit. We must ... make them fly the flag! That's it!

Sieg Heil to the President Gasman.

He wants people to participate in democracy, but this country isn't a democracy - it's a republic. And the last two elections put paid to any concepts of 'one person one vote' anyway.

Three cheers for democratic republics!

Gee, I'm really glad I was home sick today.

If I had a flag to fly, it'd be upside down.

May 1. Labour Day.

Yeah, I have a vague memory of hearing about this before. We basically created a rah-rah America-is-awesome day to coincide with international Labour Day, in much the same spirit as a "Support Our Troops" rally showing up down the block from a war protest.

*looks at the Americans dealing with flag-waving*

*looks at the Communists celebrating the worker*

This is why being Canadian is soooo much fun.
