Boycotts for Some, Miniature American Flags for Others

David Weigel | May 1, 2006

On the off chance you're not participating in an immigrant solidarity boycott, why not celebrate Loyalty Day? The utterly bullshit holiday, created in 1959 to take some of the sheen off those commie May Day parades, is a good time to "make a commitment to be good citizens, fly the American flag, or take the time to learn about our Nation's history," apparently. Or you can celebrate by finding liberal blogs that think George W. Bush invented this holiday out of whole cloth as a way to strengthen his dictatorship.
