Does this make sense? Why does MLK get his OWN day, but our GREAT President(s) of the past have to share one day?

You think they just have President's Day in the middle of February for no reason?  Washington and Lincoln's birthdays are both in mid-February so they sorta celebrate it as a joint holiday.

Meanwhile you racist fucks that bag on Sarge don't make a peep about Cesar Chavez, who continues to be slighted. Stop hating on Mexicans, and get with the program......

Viva Chavez!

The better question is WHO GIVES A FUCK? There isn't a single American I know of that celebrates any of our holidays correctly much less gives a shit what they are about.

Independence day = BBQ+Booze+Fireworks.
president day = BBQ+Booze
Thanksgiving = Gluttony+Booze+football
Christmas = Church+Gluttony+booze+gifts
MLK day = going to work like any other day.


So in fact of all the holidays I believe MLK day is the one we don't celebrate the American way.


Let's face it. 99% of all Americans will honor George Washington buy getting shitfaced, getting fat, taking the kids to Disneyland, or going to work. Thus, WHO GIVES A FUCK?

I'm going to work on President's Day just like I went to work on MLK Day.  There definetely double standards all over the place today like the NAACP awards and the channel BET.  But lets be real here, blacks had to make there own events and opportunites back when whites wouldn't let them celebrate certain holidays or recognized them in awards shows et alone let them in the door.  I think in some cases people want equality yet blacks are going out of there way to prove otherwise.  Then you still have the closet racists that speak harsh words but when they around blacks, are intimidated and act like bitches and have to make fun of their own race.  The bottom line is who gives a shit.....U have to dial a frieken 1 for english when calling some hotels now adays....There are so many races and cultures in the US that you just celebrate what you believe in and respect the others in which you don't....

In Virginia it's called Lee-Jackson-King Day.
 
That date was already set aside to honor Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson,and they just added MLK at the end of it.

Who gives a fuck? Who gives a fuck? Who gives a fuck?

Who gives a fuck? Who gives a fuck?

Is that enough? Ok, one more -  who gives a fuck? Great....

Fantastic...

Well, you better give a fuck, they expect you to be passive and  are count on  responses  like the good "sheepeople" you are  so well represented in this thread.  

You must give a fuck about everything that happens politically because it all  means something and it because it all affects you sooner or later...it's creeping politics....they test the waters and when the coast is clear and they are sure you're all not giving a fuck, the big guns come out and by then it's too late...

Ahhhh, fuck it....jsut smoke another joint, crack open another beer, get another lap-dance, snort another line of coke, jack-off to some more on-line porn....there's nothing you can do about anyway, right? 

Sheepeople. Fools.

This is the real question we should be asking.

Sarg, you do have some great points ... to bad they're lost on most people and by the time you get to have the last laugh, no one will be laughing.

can always count on the "code pink" freak MuEagles, to chime in, adding his lefty foolishness and insanity into the mix...so now legitimate debate is "shit-stirring" because someone is on the other side of an issue?

 Don't tell me, it's already been disproved..you have your own sources

You've were run out of the political forum because you were exposed as a plageriser and fraud and now you are in your last thros before you disappear completely....sad story MU.

anyone who doesn't know the accomplishments of Martin Luther King Jr. or denies them clearly has never read a history book....plain and simple.

you are an ignorant individual Sarg....go read a book about the Civil Rights movement of the 1950/1960s and come back to talk to us.

Hey I love holidays, but you want a separate day off for every good President?  If that's the case then unless the Bushes and Clintons win elections forever, eventually every day will be a holiday.

Dumbass...I stated the accomplishments of King  at the beginning of  the thread.   What does that have to do with him getting a his own national holiday and Washington having to share a day? Without Washington's leadership and vision King would not have had the chance to do the great things that he did.  There would be no USA without him. Let me repeat that again for Dunderhead.....

THERE WOULD BE NO USA WITHOUT THE LEADERSHIP AND VISION OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.

YOU INCREDIBLE MORON
