The first big Labor Day in the United States was observed on September
5, 1882, by the Central Labor Union of New York. It became a federal
holiday in 1894, when, following the deaths of a number of workers at
the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the Pullman
Strike, President Grover Cleveland reconciled with the labor movement.
Fearing further conflict, legislation making Labor Day a national
holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed into law a
mere six days after the end of the strike. The September date
originally chosen by the CLU of New York and observed by many of the
nation's trade unions for the past several years was selected rather
than the more widespread International Workers' Day because Cleveland
was concerned that observance of the latter would stir up negative
emotions linked to the Haymarket Affair, which it had been observed to
commemorate. All U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the
territories have made it a statutory holiday.

Nice cut-and-paste from Wikipedia, Harry would be so proud of you.

Would you like to know the *truth*? Probably not, since it doesn't
follow the party line, but here it is:

http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/02/opinio...r-day-history/

What I posted is not much difference, so the truth is pretty obvious.
It's to celebrate labor. Do you disagree?

I absolutely disagree. Are you blinded by your own words? Did you not
say, "since honoring labor is equivalent to honoring evil?"

Labor day is a National Holiday to remember the labor movement and its
dedication to the social and economic achievements of American workers
who have made great sacrifices to further the strength, prosperity,
and well-being of this country.

The labor movement is not more intrinsically evil than the
corporations they seek to offset. I think you will agree that a lot
more laborers have been killed (percentage wise, if you will) in
performing their labor than CEOs. That skyscraper you view, that
bridge you cross, and that lock you take you imaginary boat through,
were all built at the cost of American labor's blood, sweat, tears,
and sometime lives.

This is a time when my family takes time to remember the deep
sacrifices of our forbears. We wouldn't have the grand life that we
have now, without their sacrifice. You spend the day as you wish.

Hate if you will, but I'll not agree with you. Go buy a boat, take
some time to smell the roses, calm down, get a grip, and come back
here when you aren't so angry and full of hate. You will live longer
and enjoy life more.

Labor Day is a day to remember those who perform or have performed labor.

Amen.

Maybe it's time to eliminate government medical assistance on new cases
to those vets who are not suffering from combat injuries and illnesses.
Current non-combat work-related illnesses and injuries should be handled
under a system of workers' comp, with the same "generous" benefits
available to ordinary non-military workers. We should also eliminate the
special military pension program and enroll military personnel in social
security.

who have made great sacrifices to further the strength,
prosperity,
and well-being of this country.

The labor movement is not more intrinsically evil than the
corporations they seek to offset. I think you will agree that
a lot
more laborers have been killed (percentage wise, if you will) in
performing their labor than CEOs. That skyscraper you view, that
bridge you cross, and that lock you take you imaginary boat
through,
were all built at the cost of American labor's blood, sweat,
tears,
and sometime lives.

This is a time when my family takes time to remember the deep
sacrifices of our forbears. We wouldn't have the grand life
that we
have now, without their sacrifice. You spend the day as you wish.

Hate if you will, but I'll not agree with you. Go buy a boat,
take
some time to smell the roses, calm down, get a grip, and come
back
here when you aren't so angry and full of hate. You will live
longer
and enjoy life more.

Labor Day is a day to remember those who perform or have
performed labor.

Amen.

In your own mind.

More liberal crap.

Of course.. anything from the gov't is bad, but don't mess with your
SS and Medicare, right dummy?

Don't forget all of that evil socialized medicine he gladly accepts
from the VA.

That's a new one one me....I didn't realize VA benies were
'socialized' I thought they were earned for serving in the military

====

Absolutely. It's a form of deferred compensation.

So, maybe I can figure this out.

If after 30+ years i would retire from a company that offers a
retirement account plus a medical package, it is what it is. I retire
from a company that offers a retirement account with a medical
package.

However, if I would retire from the military after 30+ years of
service, I am now classified as sucking off the govt. teat and
bleeding the VA of socialized medicine....

uh-huh

That's the message Harry and his sock puppets send, owing to his fear
and hatred of all things military. Plume and her sock puppet will say
anything to stir up an argument. There you have it in a nutshell.


According to the Law of GOP, anything the government does in terms of
payments to individuals is socialism.

Labor Day - on the right wing agenda?

Maybe it's time to eliminate government medical assistance on new cases
to those vets who are not suffering from combat injuries and illnesses.
Current non-combat work-related illnesses and injuries should be handled
under a system of workers' comp, with the same "generous" benefits
available to ordinary non-military workers. We should also eliminate the
special military pension program and enroll military personnel in social
security.

And apply your ideas to congress persons also?

The first big Labor Day in the United States was observed
on September
5, 1882, by the Central Labor Union of New York. It became
a federal
holiday in 1894, when, following the deaths of a number of
workers at
the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the
Pullman
Strike, President Grover Cleveland reconciled with the
labor movement.
Fearing further conflict, legislation making Labor Day a
national
holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed
into law a
mere six days after the end of the strike. The September date
originally chosen by the CLU of New York and observed by
many of the
nation's trade unions for the past several years was
selected rather
than the more widespread International Workers' Day because
Cleveland
was concerned that observance of the latter would stir up
negative
emotions linked to the Haymarket Affair, which it had been
observed to
commemorate. All U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and
the
territories have made it a statutory holiday.

Nice cut-and-paste from Wikipedia, Harry would be so proud
of you.

Would you like to know the *truth*? Probably not, since it
doesn't
follow the party line, but here it is:

What I posted is not much difference, so the truth is pretty
obvious.
It's to celebrate labor. Do you disagree?

I absolutely disagree. Are you blinded by your own words? Did
you not
say, "since honoring labor is equivalent to honoring evil?"

Labor day is a National Holiday to remember the labor movement
and its
dedication to the social and economic achievements of American
workers
who have made great sacrifices to further the strength,
prosperity,
and well-being of this country.

Not quite true. Payment of debts public and private is not socialism.
Gifts to slackers,cheats and deadbeats is socialism. Gifts to political
backers is criminal. Propping up unions and paying their debts is also
criminal. In the eyes of the GOP, Most democrats should be in jail for
their crimes.
