Are the wingnuts planning a citizen's sick-out for Cinco de Mayo?
Now you know, I saw something about this on a wingnut site. . .they are trying to put together an economic boycott of real American citizens (ya know, the legal ones) once this spring and then in the summer. . .but isn't it ironic that they are choosing May 5 as their first attempt at this mass call-in-sick day?

If you go here, you'll see the ad at the top of the screen...you know, the big American flag. . .(gosh..and not the confederate battle flag, wtf?) Click on the flag and it will take you to their rant about a citizen's boycott. . .

Oh yeah....some of you might want to hold your noses. . .er...or wear gloves for the keyboard...hehehehehe.

7. Haven't they already proven.....
that America runs just fine withouth them?

Thousands have been marching in the streets,
yet businesses keep on running.

IMO it is proof that we can send the illegal
ones back and it won't hurt our country one bit!
In fact, I think it would help.

Please don't call me racist. I'm not against
immigrants who come here through the legal channels,
only those who break our laws!

8. Many businesses in my city were closed today
to allow Hispanic employees to participate in the rally. There were restaurants and stores all over town that were not open today, with signs on the door explaining why they were closed.

The rally was also held at 5:00, which allowed many to attend AFTER a day working.

12. I stand corrected...
Still, I don't think they should be rewarded
for breaking the law.

15. Nah, they should just stay in Mexico and Honduras and Guatemala
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 11:07 PM by proud2Blib
and Cuba or wherever they came from and STARVE. That's the answer. Why should they get a slice of the American dream?

:sarcasm:

14. You mean I have to work on Cinco de Mayo?
Just to show I'm not a wingnut?

I can't just stay home and drink margaritas as I normally would on that most sacred American holiday.
