"President's Day" sucks
They replaced Washington's Birthday (2/22) and Lincoln's Birthday (2/12) with "President's Day" to sell the crazy notion that all the other presidents were just as worthy of honor.
In general they are either inferior quality human beings or outright demonic traitors, with one notable modern-day exception—the actual current Commander-in-Chief (not the Mandarin Cheat ;)
Actually, "President's Day" doesn't exist, at least not as a federal holiday. The official holiday has always been and remains "Washington's Birthday." Congress tried to get it renamed back in the 70s (I think) since Lincoln's birthday was so close to GW, but the effort failed because everyone objected to "bad" presidents (in their opinion) being honored... at the time, the boogeyman was Lincoln because idiot Democrats and Lost Cause retard Republicans hated Abe... but I mean, Buchanan, Wilson, Tyler, Polk, Fillmore, Pierce??? BARF. So the name remains just to honor Washington because at least back then, everyone could agree the Father of the Country deserved it... of course now idiots tear down his statues, although they aren't burning up and $1 bills.
Every state did created a state holiday in some variation of either "President's Day", "Presidents Day" or "Presidents' Day"... yes, apparently nobody can agree on proper grammar (should be Presidents' Day, plural possessive)
But alas, the holiday has just morphed into an excuse for people to get the day off work or get paid time & 1/2... commercialism and bullshit.
I did not know that! Thanks patriot
Probably almost no one else does, either, since it's never celebrated as such and schoolkids don't even know the date of GW's birthday, 2/22 (same date as the Miracle on Ice in 1980, back when Americans en masse still understood that socialism, and not capitalism, was the actual scourge of earth).
It should go back to being called that
Same thing with "4th of July"... that's not the holiday... the federal holiday is "Independence Day." It can even be extended somewhat to "MLK Day" because so many people don't even know who "MLK" was. The holiday is "Martin Luther King Jr. Day" but after shortening it, the name loses its meaning.
Best way to deprogram and education the masses, is to simply call the holidays by their actual names.
