Mexican Holiday

I was in Mexico 25 years ago on the 5th of May and no one there knew what I was talking about. WE invented it to fill bars and sell beer.

And here’s the thing, even if it was a Mexican holiday, even if it was THE Mexican holiday of all holidays, SO WHAT?

No one can be forced to celebrate a holiday — remember all those lawsuits about 6-year-olds having to sing “Silent Night” in the school Christmas — oops, Winter Holiday — program?

No one can be told that wearing an American flag in America is “hate speech” or an “incitement to violence.”

Finally, aren’t Lefties supposed to at least give lip service to being “hyphenated Americans”? That’s bad enough, but here there isn’t even any hyphen! The students are referred to as MEXICANS, not Mexican-Americans. They want to fly the MEXICAN flag, not the Mexican flag along with the American flag. This proves what conservatives have been saying all along about the “multicultural” crapola. It doesn’t work. You can enjoy and respect your heritage, but when it comes to citizenship, you’re either all in or your not.

More than 200 Hispanic students reportedly skipped class on Thursday and marched to school district headquarters while chanting "we want respect" and "si se puede" -- "yes we can," the Morgan Hill Times reported.

What the f*** does "yes we can" have to do with this issue. The only reason they're chanting it, is because they're trying to get Odumbo involved, directly. These little bastards are giving him a shout out, trying to turn this into a national incident. I would have suspended every last one of them for skipping school, or cutting classes. That'll never happen though because some people in this country are "more equal" than others. Same game, just different players with different colored shirts. It's disgusting beyond repulsion and I'm fed up with it.
