Why I won't celeberate Cinco de Mayo

[rojawe]

If you do agree with the following statements you are obligated to celebrate Cinco de Mayo:

a) Start with one margarita and some tortillas if:
You are a proud Mexican Citizen.
You are working illegally here, but who cares!
You believe that the amnesty is a right that no one can take away from you.
You are proud of your Mexican Heritage. (In America we will respect this point)
You want to celebrate the Battle of Puebla. (Mexico Independence day is September 15)
You are proud that the same countrymen under General SantaAna killed our heroes at El Alamo.

Get an extra drink: If you can show me that Mexico or any other Hispanic country celebrate 4 of July with the same passion that you do 5 de Mayo



b) Get happily drunk, get some tamale, guacamole and cheer Viva Mexico! If:

You strongly agreed with the following statements made by Mexican politicians such us:
“I want the third, fourth, fifth even the seven generation and all future generation of Hispanics in America to think “Mexico First” (Juan Hernandez, J. McCain’s Campaign Advisor and now having conversation with the current occupant of the White House)

“I have proudly affirm that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders, and the Mexican migrants legal or illegal are a very important factor and part of this statement” (Mexican President Zedillo)

“The Mexican nation extends it borders into the USA. Accordingly, the government would strengthen solidarity programs with the Mexican community abroad by emphasizing their Mexican roots, and supporting literacy programs in Spanish and teaching of the Mexican history values and more important traditions of Mexico” (Mexican President Calderon).

“U.S. English is to Hispanics as the KKK is to blacks. Spanish should be the national language of this great country-America)” (Raul Yzaguirre Former CEO of La Raza).

You are one of the 58% of Mexicans in American territory agree with the following statement “The territory of the United States’ southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico”.

Well…….Are you ready to celebrate? Sorry, I can’t join you. I am an American Citizen!

If they DESERVED to live in a great country, They would have built one.
They come from a corrupt shit hole because that was all their culture is capable of.
And before FQ jumps on me for being a racist I will point out that I never said the individuals are not capable of far better.
But they need to do it in Mexico.

I will jump in. What about any of the above is racist? W should have sent a formal note of protest to Zedillo over his statement, but didn't. McCains campaign advisor talking about "Mexico first" and now working with BO, should be a wakeup call to anyone still stupid enough to think this is a Dem vs GOP issue. I will celebrate Cinco de May, but only because I don't like the French. As for the rest of it, if we can send a man to the moon, I say we can send the illegals home just by making it difficult, legally dangerous  and costly to hire them. No need for racism, no jobs equals no illegals.

And it's my understanding that May 5th isn't really any big deal in Mexico anyway, save for the tourist traps.

And it's my understanding that May 5th isn't really any big deal in Mexico anyway, save for the tourist traps.

And that's a fact.  Wife and I lived on our sailboat in Mexican waters for an extended period some years back.  Once you get out of Isla Mujeres, Cancun and Cozumel, most of the Mexicans don't do anything for the 5th.  It's just another day.  Of course, there are Religious Festivals almost every week, so there's almost always something to celebrate with an extra beer or 5.

Does this mean I can't have Hazeritas on May 5th?

Not at all, You can help celebrate America's new May 5th holiday. "Go the fu*k home day"

And you did so well with your post to TAB....   

but I guess   "Bon Voyage, Amigo"  wouldn't convey the full gestalt of your feelings.
