tcpipI'm astounded. May Day, the international day of recognizing the struggle of working people who, through civil disobedience, achieved decent wages, hours and conditions, has been abolished in the United States of America.
Instead, they now have "Loyalty Day", where they extend allegience to their nation (and supposedly the founding ideals) for generations to come.
But what, we ask, does one do when the President himself doesn't have any allegience to the founding ideals. Isn't that the time, according to the U.S. constitution, to have a "Disloyalty Day"?
