Washington's Day NOT President's day

Today is presidents day. why are we celebrating this? Really why?

Just another day to pay the government workers for not working? Seriously why are you getting off for this, there is NO reason for this. Now if memory serves me it should still be called Washington’s birthday. And NOT presidents day. it was never officially changed. Now in some states they actually use it to honor other people as well. this is another raft of shit. It was and should still be in honor of the first recognized president of the United States of America. Not to celebrate Lincoln, Eisenhower, or Nixon. Try this on Martin Luther king day. you think anyone would stand for calling it Black hero weekend instead of Martin Luther King day? Try it and see what happens. But that is an entirely different story to be told at a later date.

Ok so it is a FEDERAL holiday, does this mean we do not have to pay the federal employees for this ? and if it is Federal why are the STATE employees off? Is it because without the federal workers the states cannot do their job. If that is the case then why do we need state workers at all. This holiday is so bogus. I am sitting here thinking that yeah if this holiday was actually still celebrating the FIRST president I would not have a problem but as soon as you have people fucking with it like they have is does not mean anything.

So stop calling things what the are not and learn the history behind the actual holiday.
