PRESIDENT'S DAY VS. LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

TODAY AMERICA CELEBRATES A PATHETIC SHADOW OF A HOLIDAY CALLED PRESIDENT'S DAY. WHAT ONCE WAS ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY AND GEORGE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY HAVE BEEN COMBINED INTO ONE BLAND AND AMBIGUOUS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF OUR PRESIDENTS. IT IS NO LONGER POLITICALLY CORRECT TO HAVE A HOLIDAY NAMED FOR A WHITE, AMERICAN MAN. IT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE TO MENTION A PRESIDENT WHO LED OUR NATION DURING A TIME OF WAR. IT IS NO LONGER APPROPRIATE TO SPEAK THE NAME OF SOMEONE KNOWN TO AS THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY. THAT WOULD BE TOO CHAUVINISTIC. THAT WOULD BE TO MISOGYNISTIC. THAT WOULD BE TOO INSENSITIVE.

GEORGE WASHINGTON DEFEATED THE GREATEST MILITARY POWER ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH THAT EXISTED IN HIS DAY. BUT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO IDENTIFY HIM. ABRAHAM LINCOLN ISSUED THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION WHICH FREED THE SLAVES AND YET HIS NAME IS ENSLAVED IN OBSCURITY. GEORGE WASHINGTON GUIDED THE CREATION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE SAME CONSTITUTION WHICH GUARANTEES US FREE SPEECH, AND YET WE CANNOT SPEAK HIS NAME IN CELEBRATION OF HIS BIRTHDAY. ABRAHAM LINCOLN LED THE COUNTRY IN THE MIDST OF A CIVIL WAR. BUT TODAY WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE BECAUSE OF HIS RACE AND SEX, ABRAHAM LINCOLN IS EXCLUDED FROM PUBLIC MENTION, EXCEPT WHEN HE'S COMPARED TO OBAMA.

IN THIS IS A DAY AND AGE, A SINGLE RACE IS GIVEN ITS OWN EXCLUSIVE HOLIDAY IN THE FORM OF MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY. BUT THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED THIS COUNTRY AND PEOPLE, WHO PRESERVED THIS COUNTRY IN ITS DARKEST MOMENTS, AND THE PEOPLE WHO CONTINUE TO BUILD IT TODAY RECEIVE NO RECOGNITION BECAUSE IT OFFENDS THE SENSITIVITIES OF AN ELITE MINORITY. ABOLISH PRESIDENTS' DAY. BRING BACK GEORGE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY AND LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY. SPEAK THE NAMES OF THE GREAT MEN WHO FOUNDED AND BUILT THIS NATION. AND SHOUT DOWN THE SANCTIMONIOUS SIMPERING OF THE LIBERALS THAT ECHOES FORTH OUT OF EVERY TELEVISION SCREEN IN THIS COUNTRY.
