The folks opposed to giving a Muslim a religious holiday are the same who would be screeching "religious discrimination" if Christian holidays were removed from the calendar...
Southern Beale..wait a minute there missy, if they were brought here from a war torn Country to re-build thier lives as AMERICANS, they better learn to respect OUR holidays, or simply go back to the refugee camp to celebrate Eid al fitr...they are American Citizens now, Correct? or NOT?After watching our people die from airplanes flown by MUSLIMS...sorry if it offends your stupidity..but Muslims read the Coran..ALL of them...and i will pee on it any day, before honoring the holidays of those who caused 911.are all southern bells this unAmerican?Scarlett?
Mary,
Ethan Allen was an atheist. Did that make him un-American? Pardon the rest of us for embracing a larger America than small minded shits such as yourself.

Good try, but Wednesdy night is Amateur Hour. Please come back and try again then.
Thanks. 
being Athiest doesn't make you unAmerican...celebrating a holiday for a religion that would kill you for not believing their religion is crazy.MY GUESS? You're a Muslim..who gives a crap about Ethan Allen anyways? Do we have an Ethan Allen day? NO...BUT Tyson Chicken is crapping on Labor day..and you don't mind...so go back to where you came from you don't think that taking an American Holiday away is wrong???taking it is one thing...replacing it for those who believe that we infidels should die...SORRY, FUCK YOU
Thank you for highlighting one of the most important passages (IMO)that Lady Liberty holds aloft. I think many of us Americans forget what a true melting pot is.
Wow! Who cares about Ethan Allen? And you are questioning my patriotism? Ethan Allen fought in the AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Ever heard of the Green Mountain Boys? Or his capture of heavy siege cannons that gave General Washington's army the punch to lay siege to Boston?
And Labor Day is an International Holiday. In fact, it is a leftist holiday.
Oh, and I'm a Southern Baptist who believes freedom means just that.
SB,
I'm enjoying picking on this worthless troll, so sorry for the three posts in a row. I will be glad to go back to where I come from Mary: Robbinsville, North Carolina. My first Anglo-Saxon ancestor, Athey Wall arrived in the British Colonies in 1766 and fought at the Battle of King's Mountain where he helped to massacre 300 captured British soldiers with tomahawks. He then settled on a 1,000 acres of land that my family still owns.
Oh, and my Cherokee ancestors have been here for oh about 12,000 years.
And can you please learn to write. Multipe elipses are so difficult to read.
Casey, no problem on my end. Though I'd say it's probably like shooting fish in a barrel, no?
SB,
You are so right. There isn't one complete sentence in Mary's two posts.
Some use the Bible to justify compassion and humility. Others, to justify intolerance and hatred.
Seems like the Koran could be used to personal ends as well. If you haven't read it you probably can't judge it.
Coran? Is that like Corelle?
wow. all I get are spammers. you have trolls. i'm impressed, beale. you must be doing something right.
Last I checked, over the past two centuries plus more American soldiers have been killed by Christians than by members of any other religion. I guess that means we ought to stop making Christmas and Easter national holidays, huh?
OK..the point is, I believe she is trying to say...THERS IS NO ETHAN ALLEN DAY, so why even bring him up when the issue is about Labor Day, or that Ramadon Holiday. This is getting a bit blurred...I personally cant throw cash at a company that is forgetting hard working Americans LIKE Ethan Allen, although Labor wasn't considered fair, and Labor day symbolises how people fought for equal treatment on jobs, and in employment. And I think that especially with you being Cherokee, you would be more ticked off about how your people got screwed. (I don't mean to be blunt, but theres really no easy way to say it.)AND the worse part, there are no National Holidays for Native Americans that I know of, but if there are any...educate me.So why celebrate a Muslim Holiday, when in all honesty you're ancestors were here first, and you don't have one. That kinda sucks.
So why celebrate a Muslim Holiday...
The only people celebrating this holiday are Muslim.
I must say it's amusing to see all the red-blooded conservatives come to the defense of Labor Day, a holiday that was started by the eeeevil labor unions.
Madison,
The point in bringing up Ethan Allen was to suggest that America has always included people who don't agree with the mainstream. Ethan Allen fought for the right for all of us to believe as we see fit. And it isn't hurting you one bit for some Muslims to trade one day off for another. There is nothing sacrosanct about Labor Day.
And Ethan Allen does have a holiday: Veteran's Day.
The point in bringing up my Cherokee ancestory was to say that even Mary's ideas are new to America. No, I'm not bitter about what happened to the
Cherokee. The real story of my people is that we endured and many of us have overcome. In fact, I have the Cherokee symbol for Endure tatooed on my right calf.
I'm just as proud of my British-killing Anglo-Saxon ancestor who fought for hearth and home and established a future for my family. And my hillbilly ancestors endured much prejudice from twits like Mary who see only one small America. She can piss on the Koran while I choose to piss on small-minded idiots.
Moreover, there is no National Native American holiday, but there is a Native American and Alaskan Peoples Month.
wow! I never heard of these months. When are they?I mean, just for information purposes. But seriously, if there is a Holiday for Presidents, and Martin Luther King..why have the Native Americans not been given a day? I know there are MANY tribes, I hope that is the correct way to say it, but there could be a Native Americans Day, couldn't there? I'm actually a bit suprised no one thought of that.
did any of YOU get a phone call from a crying teenager, who was knowing she was going to die? and KNOW THAT YOU COULD DO NOTHING TO STOP IT, and try to tell her it'll be ok??????there were no bodies, just dust, and all that was left were charred possesions, and 1 flipping flip-flop?!? Until you say yes you did...DO NOT call me small minded...I know forgiveness is important, but who consoled her?SURE those terrorists did her a "favor" and let her call to say her plane was highjacked..WOW!wasn't that kind????And what about all the others in the towers who called loves ones???DUST! I will never bend for them, they would shoot you in the head for kicking the Coran, yet they burn bibles. I'm sick of those who think we should stop "offending" them.yet the right to worship is alive and well, unless you put up a nativity, or say Merry Christmas.they have the right to worship as they please, but they don't have the right to trample our religion, or Holidays.and dont even think of telling me to forget about her.BTW toahawk chick,your ancestors died because they used arrows and tomahwks. The whiteman had"fire sticks". there's you're history lesson for today.In fact, maybe you should ask the widows of firefighters how they feel about this holiday for those that killed our people.after all, you've got experience in that area.
oh..I see...none of you mindless shits can answer that one
hey tomahawk chick..does that tattoo have a holiday?
