And the pledge of allegiance was written by a socialist, should we stop saying that too?
Just go flip a burger and shaddup
If someone wants to throw rocks at Labor Day for being "socialist" they should at least wait until the jobs that have been exported during the past thirty years come back to the US. Otherwise they just look like a Myna Bird that repeats the word "Socialist" for the Hell of it.
At least we don’t celebrate May Day.
The Soviets also had a labor day, that was the day
you labored for the State for nothing.
It’s past time to think up a new name for the first Monday in September.
And so we, a nation made both the greatest and wealthiest in all of history through the free-market principles of capitalism...
We are currently losing our middle class again to unethical and turn coat corporate globalism. The same ole unethical capitalists, detached from the ideals of freedom are on high. They need to be knee capped again. Start with Target, Facebook and Google. They like to play politics, after all.

In all fairness, it has been proven that the display of the US flag causes feelings of patriotism among most Americans, and these feelings can last for two weeks.
And patriotic feelings reflect entirely on Republicans and conservatives, *not at all* to Democrats and leftists.
So every person here needs to display the flag more and more in the lead up to the elections. And it is a great “protest” of sorts against the “leftist holiday” of Labor Day.
As a personal observation, leftists are behaving more and more like vampires when they see the Christian cross displayed, when they see the flag, or the Christian cross displayed.
They shun it, and at least now, in a small way, it causes them self induced discomfort.
So wave the flag in their faces, and proudly display signs of your faith.
But remember, if they think they can get away with it, they will try to tear down the flag or the cross. So plan accordingly.
In response to article author Matt,
There IS an all-American, born, bred, and bled red, white, and blue ‘union’.
It is a union made up of Americans from all walks of life, all levels of education and ethnicity. All working for America.
To be a member of this ‘union’, you must work in one of many career fields, after some class trainiing, OJT, and further apprenticeship till you attain, at least a journeyman level, under a minimum contract of four years.
You will have some ‘shopwork’, and be sent into the field, either on assignment, or to hone your skills for other divergent careers. Some of the work might be difficult or dangerous. You might become injured ‘on the job’, with lifelong reminders. But, fear not, your ‘union’ benefits and membership are now guaranteed, for life.
What is this ‘union’ I speak of?
It is the ‘union’ of my brothers and sisters, all military veterans. This is the only ‘union’ that is not Communist, but pure American.
Enjoy your ‘Labor Day Weekend’, Matt, while my brothers and sisters on duty make it possible for you to do so comfortably!
What an imbecilic thing to say. Cleveland had already run for President three times. He never ran again. The author is making sound like he tried to get re-elected in 1896 but lost the vote. William Jennings Bryan was the Democrat nominee that year. Even the "Gold Democrats" didn't run Cleveland for a fourth time.
