So, just what -is- the *real* "Cinco de Mayo"? ----The Reality---- "Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with legitimate United States history, but instead commemorates the victory of Mexican troops over French military units at the Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862. The alcohol beverage industry appears to bear primary responsibility for this cultural aberration and promotion of public drunkenness." � Newswire Note: Watch out for typical, interjected PBS propaganda faecal matter! ----The Truth---- "The Cinco de Mayo celebration was an event in San Jose that once drew more than 400,000 people. Attendance has steadily dropped over the past few years, in part because of a 1997 melee that broke out after the festival had ended." � Pat Lopes Harris in San Jose Mercury News Hint: It's the browned down -danger-, stupid! "It's not Cinco de Mayo, it's Drinko de Mayo" � Jorge Arias, restaurant owner, Oakland, California, San Francisco Chronicle Note: Watch for flying knives and popping zip guns! "Amid music, food and children's games, American corporations -- always looking to expand their consumer base -- touted their Latino-friendly products. Grocer Safeway gave away fruit drinks, while Radio Shack peddled calculator- sized devices that act as Spanish-English translators." � Cinco de Mayo report "It's really beautiful to see how big Cinco de Mayo is getting" � Ramon Garza of Oakland, California to San Francisco Chronicle reporter "We Shall Overwhelm". � Arturo Vargas, speaking to National Council of La Raza "A nation without borders is not a nation." � Ronald Reagan ----The Typical Pinko Brownie Lies---- "It's for the Mexican people to remember that they were the conquerors, and to fight for what is right today." � Eva Royale, United Farm Workers, explaining Cinco de Mayo, as she circulated pebreastions at San Francisco Civic Center Plaza to make Cesar Chavez's birthday a national holiday ----Rex Osgood Commentary---- "If we could just get all the Mexicans to respect U.S. borders and U.S. laws, slow down their birth rate, learn basic hygiene, learn English, leave behind their holidays, adopt the customs of their new country, and celebrate American traditions and holidays, then maybe Rosalee Ledesma and the rest of them could be a welcome addition to California and the U.S. As things stand, they are a threat to America's cultural idenbreasty and a threat to non-Hispanic Americans." "More than any other factor it is the Mexican presence that is behind the current wave of corruption in California politics that threatens California's future and undermines the security of Californians today." "What does Cinco de Mayo mean to me? I don't need the reminder, but Cinco de Mayo reminds me of 9-11. It reminds me of America's immigration policies that threaten our form of Consbreastutional government, policies that threaten American culture and our most treasured political traditions. It reminds me of third world cesspools spreading to America. The Rodney King rioters and looters weren't mostly blacks, they were mostly Hispanics. The corruption of American politics from unbuttimilated Mexicans streaming through our porous borders for half a century has undermined U.S. security. There is the real meaning of Cinco de Mayo." --
