Many observant people will take the day and fast, or, attend a Noontime Mass.....




I am only saying that it seems to me, a cynical attempt to use an existing condition to bolster the numbers.


After all, they could have used Thursday.

We may get out of the economic slowdown if these liberals keep calling in sick to work!

[ewing]

(Gasp!) Do you mean this is a cynical opportunity for liberals to boost their protest numbers?

[mountaineer]

their latest protest idea is set for Saturday: drive the speed limit. I'm not kidding. Here's the link.

The protestors are so stupid it is awe inspiring, sometimes..

Most of these jokers probably dont work while they are there under "normal" circumstances anyway
Liberals ...
Those who believe that their "convictions" entitle them to disrupt anyone's else's lives who happen to be in their line of fire..
Their "convictions" are so sacred...that they would stand by and watch others suffer rather than violate them (convictons) including their own children (who they arent so opposed to violating)..
Especially just before they are born....

Have you noticed that these folks always opt for the skip work, don't honor your commitments type events? Where is the anti-war protest "Show your support for no war - Work For Free", or Work Four Hours More and Refuse Overtime, or Suport Peace - Pick Up trash Along the Freeway, Why can't they give something extra to demonstrate their convictions instead of always taking something to demonstrate their dis-pleasure?

Because they are almost universally selfish, small minded louts who only want their bubbling nonsense forced on others, not meant for them, don't you know
