So all union members don't a Muslim holiday off in midweek October instead of OUR NATIONAl Labor Day, and Muslim workers get their own poultry prayer room...this is how it starts. If this is allowed to stand we will be just like Britain in time.

By the way, don't use the word "crusade" it offends them.

I quit buying Tyson long ago. It's Pilgrims Pride for me.

Time to strike "Tyson" from my list.

We had ed il fitur (?) as a holiday when I was a kid twenty years ago.

I guess MA was ahead of the curve with the kneepads!

Don’t buy Tyson chicken.

Don’t buy fast-food chicken, either/

Butcher your own, if you can.

If you live in the country, there are plenty enough folk who butcher their own and you can buy from them.

In fact, there are a lot of folks going into the small-farm poultry business around where I live.

Pay the extra $0.50 a pound. It’s worth it.

My wife knows I won’t let Tyson into our home. She finds other things to by.

I explained it to her like this. The owners hated everything you believe in, and have tried to destroy those things as best they could.

Don’t fund someone who wants to destroy your beliefs.

I do my best not to buy Muslim, but Nancy Pelosi insists.

Exactly. And those of us who don’t oppose it and loudly, we’ll get what we deserve, just like the Brits did for being either too apathetic or too cowed by the PC police to speak up.

I haven’t eaten Tyson since 1991 when I found out how tied up they are with the Clintons. I even got one NW distributor to stop carrying Tyson. In their pocket books is the only way to change this.

Fascinating how a union throws “their” holiday (Labor Day) overboard for something like this.

“Union leaders said implementing the holiday was important for the nearly 700 Muslims, many of them Somalis, who work at the plant that employs a total of 1,200 people.”

700 out of 1,200 are Somalis? This is what they call diversity? That’s a takeover. I’m surprised LaRaza will put up with this.

What passes for “chicken” nowadays is woefully lacking from the real thing a generation ago.
