Monday = Conservative. Friday = Liberal

Hadrian said 03/26, 11:30 AM
Back to work Monday.

Casual Friday.

Junius Brutus said 03/26, 01:52 PM
Wednesday = Hump day. Clearly Wednesday = liberal.

Federal holidays usually fall on Mondays. Paid time off is a Liberal value - clearly there are exceptions to the 'back to work Mondays', and therefore they are not always Conservative - some are Liberal.

I think that's enough holes in your argument for me to claim victory. So I will.

Not only are your facts wrong, so is your understanding of what little you have right.

"Federal holidays usually fall on Mondays."
Only if the holiday happens to fall that year on a Sunday. If the holiday falls on Saturday, the day off is Friday. Otherwise, the day off is the workweek day it falls on. So the odds that you are wrong here are 6 out of 7 times. Yet you claim victory?

The word holiday from the phrase "holy day". So, Federal holidays are the secular equivalent of an day sacred to Americans. Are you claiming that atheistic liberals are behind the observances of these sacred days?

Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the following public holidays for Federal employees. I've placed an asterisk next to the few that might qualify as "sacred" to liberals.

New Year's Day
* Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. (obviously!)
Washington's Birthday
Memorial Day
Independence Day
* Labor Day (AKA May Day, the international celebration of Socialism)
Columbus Day
Veterans Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas DaY

Space does not permit me to prove that the others are sacred days for conservatives, but I think thats fairly obvious.

So, holes in MY argument JB? (AKA Mr Swiss Cheese).

7 months remaining for the next argument...

Haha I actually took Hadrian's argument as a compliment. The Hard working conservatives vs. the always complaining lazy liberals. Makes sense to me!

You're right, Brutus, but for me, every day is "hump" day, not just one pre-arranged day of the week.

"Hey honey, lets go march in the Veterans Day parade". "Honey, we need to join the fight against this War on Christmas." "Screw Native American rights, its Turkey day!" (And NOT tofurky!). "Let's memorialize the American war dead, especially those from our noble War on Iraq". "I'm glad Columbus helped find a new continent for Europeans to colonize!" "Without the 4th of July, we wouldn't HAVE the freedom to have a unitary Executive!" These comments are heard every year in liberal households, for sure!

Perhaps you heard them best, considering your conservative bathroom hookups you enjoy so much, (or is that underage interns?) are so close to the moral backdrop of America.

Harbing3r: You are doing a good job with your task to stalk me and make an offensive comment on each and every one of my debates (even the ones already won). But you have missed a few. But, please, continue your audition. Damn hard to find competent trolls these days! You show some promise, if only you work harder.

Well when you think about it MorgMcA, we are the ones that are patriotic and care about this country and we also are the ones doing the work.. so both make sense to me!

So, the next argument happens when? Maybe Junius Brutus only works on Monday and is out on the links the rest of the week?

Looks like this Monday, Junius Brutus called in sick. No argument yet. :(

Et tu, Junius Brutus? Another win by default for me? So much for the conservative work ethic! Thanks for playing Junius Brutus and thanks for the win.
