HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND
BUT
DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO HONOR OUR WORKERS
BUT
DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO HONOR OUR WORKERS
These are the people who fix our roofs, repair our leaks, put out our fires, save our lives, build our shelters, teach our children (so far as school boards allow them to), build our roads and bridges, grow and harvest our food, stock our shelves, keep our streets safe, maintain our parks. The list goes on and on.
These are the people who run America and keep it running.
THEY BUILT IT
Hoover Dam
THEY SLEPT ON IT
"The value of labor is zero. Only production has value."
ReplyDelete"Government doesn't create jobs, corporations create jobs."
Those quotes are from conservative extremists who call themselves free08352 and FandB, respectively, in a comment thread over at Dave Dubya's Freedom Rants.
This is what we're up against. Breathtaking, isn't it?
OMG. I thoroughly enjoy Dave's posts, his comments and yours and a few others, but I've never cared much for "debating" the fright-wingers. Not only are they impossibly ignorant but they're so horribly disrespectful. I think I'd almost just as soon walk into a biker's bar by myself. Thus, I read his posts but that's about it. He sure gets a lot of traffic though.
ReplyDeleteYes, Dave gets a lot of traffic — the good, the bad and the ugly. I think of his blog as a good place even if it's haunted. :)
DeleteFunny and he manages to keep a great sense of humor. I don't know how he does it.
DeleteI keep saying we need a sick sense of humor to stay sane in these times. Besides it's more fun, and healthier, than anger and hate.
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day!
Let's vote to ensure, for next year, it isn't changed to "Job Creators' Day" .
Color me angry. I do not possess your patience. Maybe after the election I'll calm down but only if Obama wins. ; )
