Loyalty Day!

Workers of the world, much as I enjoy blaming George W. Bush for things, "Loyalty Day" is not new stupidity, it's old stupidity.

Aha! I can see how it might be considered to be catchier than 'Americanization Day'.

April 30 shall henceforth be known as either 'Disloyalty Day' or 'Foreignization Day', whichever.

I will note that the creepazoidal vibe people get from it is more or less justified, but dates from some combination of the First Red Scare and the Cold War.

...actually I guess it wasn't so much the First Red Scare as it was the later period of mass immigration and nativist backlash.
