Today, I continue the effort in a more-serious tone as the Obama Administration appears to be on the verge of addressing the immigration issue and, many fear, granting amnesty to as many as 30 million illegal immigrants during an election year. It's time to suspend Cinco De Mayo celebrations until the Mexican government cleans up its act and gets control of the drug cartels running rampant, especially along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Why does CINCO DE MUSTARD deserve consideration? It's not because the United States is one of the world's leading producers of mustard and is home to the world-famous Mustard Museum located in downtown Mount Horeb, Wisc. Far from it! Instead, it's because the lawlessness and violence taking place on a daily basis across our southern border is not worthy of celebration for several reasons.
Just this morning, the Wall Street Journal reported that drug-related violence erupted this weekend in several parts of Mexico, claiming both American and Mexican lives and undermining the efforts of both countries' governments to quell an escalating war among the region's powerful drug cartels. Further, the paper said three Saturday killings in Ciudad Juárez brought to more than 400 the number of people killed in the American expatriate community this year.
When will we say we've had enough? Join me in spreading the word about CINCO DE MUSTARD. It's time to draw the line and stop celebrating Mexican culture and heritage May 5 until the Mexican government cleans up its act.
Can’t we all just get along?
Let’s divorce Cinco De Mayo of any historical significance related to Mexico, eat some Tex-Mex dishes, drink margeritas, and have hot dogs with mustard.
But DON’T say “Cinco De Mayo” anymore (one way to divorce the holiday of it’s original association).
Just say “Happy Holidays”.
it works for our President at Christmas, Easter, et al.
What’s the big deal about defeating the French that you actually have to make a holiday out of it?
Maybe we could just have the school kiddies make pinatas in the image of drug traffickers?
The American Cinco de Mayo celebrations was invented by Budweiser who was looking for a hook to push the Corona beer they were brewing and selling here (now Corona is self brewed and distributed in America, back then Bud did it). It’s often celebrated eating nachos which were invented in Texas and chimichangas which were invented in Tucson. Don’t let the Spanish name fool you, in America Cinco de Mayo is an American holiday.
It is like the freaking retards a hundred years ago blaming St Patrick’s day as some sort of Irish invasion.
I always celebrate cinco de mayo, reminds me I have something in common with these poor devils.
I was in Mexico on vacation one year and was happy to be there on May 5th thinking what a great time I would have...huh! There was nothing and that is when I found out it was just an American Holiday.
If they are so proud of their heritage, let ‘em move back where they came from... and that goes for anchor babies too.
