Labor Day -- burgers, brats and Bolshevism

How’s about some commie ketchup on that burger? It’s extra red. A little Marxist mustard for your dog? What about a pinch of socialist sauerkraut on that bubbling bratwurst?

Didn’t you know? That’s why you get the day off on Monday. That’s what your Labor Day barbecue commemorates: socialism. Delicious, juicy, smoky socialism with a side of potato salad (German, of course) and a game of Cornhole (everyone’s a winner!) – frills made affordable to Americans, American businesses and big government waste-fraud-and-abuse mills by, well, capitalism.

I know, I’m a killjoy, and, call me a hypocrite, but I’m grilling out Monday anyway. Still, fellas, while you’re sweating over that sizzling Weber this three-day weekend, just be sure to tip a stein to old Karl, Vladimir and Josef. Without those genocidal schmendricks, you’d be stuck in your cubical Monday, just like every other day, playing Candy Crush and checking fantasy football.

Just yankin’ your chain. I’m sure you’re a hard worker, and, I mean, isn’t that really what Labor Day is all about? Hard work?

Actually, no. Not at all. Hard work has nothing to do with it. Labor Day is about “labor,” and “labor,” since the 19th century at least, has been, and yet remains, one of the primary “progressive” euphemisms exploited by leftists (aka, Democrats) to further the redistributionist goals of the global socialist movement.

If it wasn’t for the labor movement, we would be working 6 days a week in bad conditions. That’s a fact, jack. I wish I had the day off, but I gotta labor. The OT will be nice though. Another labor benefit.

I bought several copies of Thomas Dilorenzo’s book, The Pro lemme with Socialism”.

It is small, short, the best book on socialism ever written. It makes all your arguments for you. Give them to your friends you have trouble convincing...or family members.

Bkmrk.

Not necessarily. YOU might be working 6 days a week in bad conditions.

And if I were working on Labor Day I'd be told "you're and exempt employee...suck it up."

[cherry]

first of all, many of the most important people of this nation WILL be working on Labor day....we nurses, we cops, we farmers, we doctors, we firemen, we pilots, etc....

we are a 24/7 nation there are those of us who's employment is vital and essential and important...even urgent...

[W.]

I've called it 'Day Labor' for years, just as an inside joke.

But now, lots of folks are working day labor, one day at a time, and no promise of work tomorrow.

Let's hope and pray this situation gets reversed soon...

And those of us who keep the lights on too

People will say you're a commie if you object to slave-like labor conditions. Despite the fact that labor conditions in, say, commie China is slave-like. But if you object to American business involvement in Chinese slavery, you're objecting to free enterprise so you are also a commie.

Funny that way, isn’t it?
