Big Deal. Now they can have their picnic at home with family like the rest of us. Who wants to go to a parade anyway. I find them boring.

When I was a kid the rodeo came to town for four days and started things off with a parade organized by all the riding clubs in the Southeast Arkansas area. I liked it then but haven’t cared much for them since even though I have lived in a Parade Happy city, Chicago, ever since then.

It’s the principle, most conservatives probably would not want to go, but being forbidden to exercise their RIGHT to free speech is intolerable.

With an election coming up name recognition becomes important, almost any public event is an opportunity to connect the face with the name.

Just because it’s a “Labor Day” parade does not mean conservative messages, and fiscal responsibility cannot be displayed.

I doubt that more than a handful attending care more about “Organized Labor” than getting a three day holiday.

Agreed. For that matter, there should not be a Labor Day holiday. It was just a way to give union workers another day off work.

Parades aren’t my cup of tea either, but I think I’d make it a point to show up to this one, now that the unions have made such a big stink over it.

Who has created more jobs, unions/Democrats or Republicans?

Who has killed more jobs, unions/Democrats or Republicans?

They’ve got a lot of nerve trying to make it look like they are the ones who care about labor.

They care about union dues and manipulated votes, and that’s the full extent of it.
