Can’t do that. Martin Luther King was so much more important than our Founding Fathers...

Gage mme.

Look, I think King did some important things and deserves to be recognized for it. A whole day dedicated to him? I’m not buying it.

Bring back George Washington’s birthday.

Relegate King to his proper status.

Absolutely agree. There are so many presidents who don’t deserve a holiday, but George certainly does.

Wolf's only halfway there. If you recall, back before "Presidents Day" we had an individual holiday for both Washington and Lincoln. Bring 'em both back!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

And while we’re at it, let’s push for the other great president’s February birthday to be recognized, Pres. Ronald Reagan, born on February 6th.

Indeed if anyone should have a holiday it would be Washington. Certainly not Michael King, aka MLK, the poster child for Socialist everywhere.
