Festive occasions
Here's a pretty old legacy post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 20 years ago, in 2006, on the World Wide Web.
Allowing people into a nation who do not identify themselves as part of that nation--who do not speak the language, who do not observe the holidays, who do not know or care about the history and ideals and cultural icons--is simply suicidal.
— Timothy Sandefur, Positive Liberty (2006-03-30): Illegal Alienation
I'm sure that all of you properly assimilated Americans realized that June 14th is Flag Day -- a commemoration of the military colors of the Union, first established by the rabid segregationist, anti-feminist, and President Woodrow Wilson. And I hope that you all have observed this holiday in a manner befitting the solemnity of the occasion, and the importance of such cultural icons to the flourishing -- indeed, the survival -- of so great a nation.
So perish all compromises with tyranny! And let all the people say, Amen!
--William Lloyd Garrison
