Readers Write: Prez day for Washington

The Island Now

President Lincoln never had a federal holiday because Congress always turned him down.

By Congress, President’s Day is only for George Washington. But to be politically correct most newspapers and  ads call it Presidents’ Day. These people not to be outdone by Congress proclaim it’s for Lincoln and George Washington or it’s for all our Presidents.

It’s a big secret that this day is only for George Washington.

Congress did not like Lincoln. The man who gave his life and saved the Union never will have a national holiday.

Oh! Where is Bill O’Reilly?
