Right wing launches misguided protest against Labor Day

By Danny Westneat

Just when it seemed the right wing couldn’t get any more divorced from reality around here, a local conservative group has launched a protest against what it sees as a pernicious cultural touchstone.

Labor Day.

Yes, bittersweet old Labor Day — the first Monday in September, the holiday that’s been around for generations and is known to most nonideologically blinkered Americans as an end-of-summer free day honoring all the hard work you put in the rest of the year.

But to the Freedom Foundation, a business-backed Olympia think tank, the day is evidence of the power of unions, which to members equals the decline of America. Rather than stoop to taking a union-backed day off, they plan to fight the power by ... working all day Monday instead!

“I can’t think of a problem in society that can’t be traced in some way back to the abuses of organized labor, so it would be hypocritical of us to take a day off on its behalf,” said Freedom Foundation CEO Tom McCabe, in announcing the “work-in.”

2. They're Full of Shit

All problems are traced to organized labor? What, Is blaming "the Jew" out of fashion for these fascists?

5. Insanity gets the same media treatment as sanity, so they say what ever they want, and with a

passion only money can buy to say.

6. When God passed out brains, these guys were conspiring against Him

I wouldn't put it past RWNJs to plot against the Almighty, for their god is the almighty dollar.

8. Knock yourselves out.

By the way McCabe; you testicle flotsam gathering, bitching, and fund raising isn't work. Rebuild both turrets of a Intermateo machine center and get the machine calibrated within 20 microns of true, in 7 hours.

9. It is unfortunate that so many liars

have so many gullible followers.

What would it take to open their eyes to the truth ???

I have been working on a member of my family for about 2 years.

I have made some progress.

It is a hard battle to win.

12. The upside to their "work-in" is there will be fewer insufferable d-bags attending area cook-outs.

Honestly, the best place for these authoritarian handjobs is in their despicable little clubhouse.
I imagine their decision to opt-out is due, at least in part, to negative feedback (and/or punches on the nose) received at last year's Labor Day cookout.

13. This is another way of saying "I can't think"

“I can’t think of a problem in society that can’t be traced in some way back to the abuses of organized labor, so it would be hypocritical of us to take a day off on its behalf,” said Freedom Foundation CEO Tom McCabe, in announcing the “work-in.”

15. Americans: Working harder, working longer, working for less since 1981

I wonder how much Tom McCabe "earns" as CEO of the Freedom Foundation? What are his hours? Does he have to pay for his own tools and supplies? I'm sure he's too proud to accept time and a half for overtime. And I'd better not hear about him taking weekends off.
