Paid holiday day off for me. Took the family fishing this morning and chilled the rest of the day.

How many remembered to put up your flag?

on labor day? the american labor movement has long since outlived it's usefulness. today, in fact, it's probably one of the largest anchors around the economy's neck.

big labor has single handedly all but wiped out the american manufacturing sector.

none of that makes me feel patriotic.

I'm an American so I proudly display my flag on flag holidays regardless of I think it's right or not. Well, maybe if I was told to fly it on obamas birthday maybe that's the only day I wouldn't.

I think I'll just admit I was wrong on this one. I'm sure the liberals would have a huge problem with flying the flag on Easter or Christmas, and I don't want to be on that side of this argument.

you win.

That's because we work the hardest. We then relax and enjoy a paid holiday because we've earned it.

b@&$?ing on message boards is not hard work...

My building always has a US flag in the lobby.

Just started working a new job, but we don't work holidays.

I do both. I was brought up with the sentiment that hard work pays off.

drove home from Orange Beach - does that count?


Speaking of flags, I saw quite a few Confederate flags flying in both Alabama and Mississippi. In one of the yards with a flag on the house, there was a kids soccer goal and ball.

Your thoughts, Okla??

You see a lot of them all over the yards and houses in southeastern Oklahoma. You see a lot of them on people's cars in OKC and Tulsa.

Conservatives shouldn't get labor day imo...goes against some of their top principles.
