May 1 is the date for the "Great American Boycott of 2006" calling for the legalization of millions of illegal aliens. Couldn’t a better date have been chosen -- one not tainted with the image of communist May Day celebrations from Moscow to Havana? [Click here for video of recent pro-amnesty demonstrations around the U.S., including video and audio evidence of the role of the radical A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) organization behind the scenes.]
“On May 1, the world working class displays its strength in demonstrations and strikes,” explains communist writer Andy McInerney in the Spring 1996 issue of Liberation & Marxism. “May Day — International Workers’ Day — is a reminder to the ruling classes that their days are numbered.... From 1919 onward, the success of May Day in the United States would depend on the success of the communist movement.”
Though most of the “Great American Boycott” demonstrators would not see themselves marching in solidarity with the communists, the same would not apply to some of the boycott organizers and promoters. The Andy McInerney quoted above writes for the International Action Center and International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism), two of the most active coalitions promoting the May 1 marches. He is also a staff writer for Workers World, the newspaper of the hardcore communist Workers World Party.
Brian Becker, the national coordinator of A.N.S.W.E.R. and one of the official organizers of the May 1 events, is also a member of the secretariat of the Workers World Party.
Another May 1 boycott leader is Macrina Cardenas, who works closely with Becker and McInerney at A.N.S.W.E.R., while also heading Mexicans Without Borders and the Mexican Solidarity Network (MSN). She also works closely with the communist Zapatistas (or EZLN) of Mexico. Cardenas’ MSN announced that on May 1 she would be leading — together with EZLN chief, Subcomandante Marcos — “an explicitly anti-capitalist movement” on both sides of the border. While some Hispanic reformers “want to emphasize immigrants’ participation in the ‘American dream’,” Cardenas and the MSN cadres say they “see this as an important moment in the anti-capitalist struggle for worker rights and emphasize the ‘reserve army’ role that most migrant workers assume within the neo-liberal capitalist system.”
Of course, information of this type sounds silly to many Americans who have been led to believe that communism is dead.
International A.N.S.W.E.R. is involved in this. Picking May Day was not an accident or oversight. They knew what they were doing.
Don't know if it's been mentioned below, but I had read May 1 is also supposed to be Labor Day in Mexico.
This is the start of what the illegal alien mexicans true intent is for this country. Tomorrow they try to shut down Americans economy while defiantly disrespecting everything America.
Shutting down America is a THREAT, which equates to terroism, and these are the p*gs Senators want to give amnesty to?
Give them amnesty and they overthrow the govt.
George W. Bush has also proclaimed it "Loyalty Day."
The illegal alien activists had better be watchful. The same sort of "anti-globalization" nuts who riot outside World Trade Organization meetings are attaching themselves like limpets to this issue as a means of getting more press. I wouldn't be surprised to see them try to stir up some trouble.
You are exactly correct! May Day is a COMMUNIST HOLIDAY.
IIRC, I think it's Lenin's birthday.
I saw that thread - and I'm hoping Rush will be talking a lot about the President's proclamation on Monday.
I'm betting that Monday will be consumed with Rush explaining the deal he cut with the Florida prosecutor. At least the first hour anyway.
These demonstration are out of control!
May Day predates the inception of the USSR, although they did co-opt it.
IIRC, I think it's Lenin's birthday.
You remember incorrectly.
The origins of May Day festivities are Pagan and ancient, having to do with spring, fertility rites, etc.
Well .. if I'm incorrect - at least give me the right birth date.
Here is alert to all legal taxpayers. The schools in and around Houston, TX are telling the hispanic children that there is NO school Monday. This is appalling, the education is on our backs and the school districts are helping them continue to keep the gun to our heads. Please, everyone call your television stations, gov. officials, ect. and let them know of the manipulations they are pulling and that we are tired of paying the bills. We here in my area are raising hell about this and hope you join us in the fight for our money.
Because it's inspired by communists.
"May 1 is Labor Day in most countries around the world and it is celebrated in honor of those who lost their lives to gain the eight-hour work day," Hidalgo said. (Dora Hidalgo, president of South Texas Amigos de Mexico)
All these commies are celebrating an eight hour work day. Don't you feel safer now. :)
Lenin's birthday is April 22nd (Earthday)!http://autarchic.tripod.com/files/earthday.html
That isn't what matters.
The only thing of importance to us in our time, and in this situation, is what the day has come to symbolize.
