Labor day in the south:

They drive an hour to a boring mall, spend hubby's credit card (in this area unless professor or doctor they work at Eastman chemical plant in Kingsport and earn a whopping 40k).

They spend it on cheap garbage at Sears, Claire's (your daughter wants to wear cheap plastic bangles and beads like "Claires Barbie",so follow directions please,spend at least 80.00 on brass that turns green and plastic baubles manufactured in Macao or Vietnam.

Then get a bouffant hair-do at Merle Norman, then buy a cheap handbag made in Korea at Charming Charlies but pay above market for it at 300.00 and pretend its a Hermes designer bag.

Then take kids and grammy to lunch at Ruby Tuesday's and suck down the carbs to congratulate yourself on being a good american.

It is the "American Way" to capitalize on every holiday.

Repugs celebrate "Crush Your Neighbor/Union Worker Into the Ground Day" and are happy for the success they've had in destroying the economy....

Why are some leftists so hell-bent on asking mindless, trolling questions with no purpose and no meaning other than to display they really know nothing about politics and just to get satisfaction out of increasing their post count?

To answer your original question though:

Because it's pointless and we understand how mindless spattering about makes people look unintelligent. That's why there's us Republicans . . . then there's the TEA Party.

And post #3 makes sense to you? "Why do federal workers take off on Christmas and Easter?"
I fail to see what this has to do with post #3. Yeah it is OK and just as I said before. You can ROTFLYAO all you want, but it does not change the fact that what I said about the post being a mindless liberal rant.

The utterly stupid notion that Republicans/right wing/conservatives are against people earning a livable wage is the latest lame "talking point" the Left has tossed into the fray. We keep seeing it more and more here on CD. The Lefties here are getting further and further to the left. Watch out. You'll soon be dropping over the edge into pure Communism.

Today is a Day Of Grief for Tea Party conservatives, a day when middle class workers, poor people, and those interested in workers rights take the day off, WITH PAY!
