It's beginning to sound like Marching Season in Northern Ireland.

I won't have much of an effect - I already avoid that holiday anyways.

Of course Cinco De Mayo as a holiday was largely invented by American beer companies. Mexicans don't actually give much of a crap about it, it was a minor battle. California agricultural industry likes the holiday too, lots of guac means lots of avacodoes.

I saw an ad on TV last night for the Chili's restaurant chain. They were plugging Cinco de Mayo specials.
I was thinking, "I ain't going there anytime soon!"

My kids don't even ask for one of those pinata things on their birthday.

It'll be easy for me too since I don't celebrate it either. I don't even know what cinco de mayo is all about!

Why do the Mexicans here always want to turn the USA into a mirror image of the stinking POS country they came from?
Why are they here if Mexico is so great?
Don't they get it?
I guess not.

I always do. Usually go to an Irish place on Cinco de Mayo, and a Mexican place on St. Patricks Day.

It's the incumbents in office, fed, state, county, etc. that need to be boycotted. They come here because they're ALLOWED to.

Chili's serves some Americanized Mexican food (it's not real Mexican food, but it's what most Americans think of when you say "Mexican food"). Every restaurant that serves Mexican food (Americanized or otherwise) has Cinco de Mayo specials, it's like being an Irish style pub on St Patrick's day, it's their time to rake in the cash on a day seemingly designed just for them.

I don't recall ever "celebrating" Cinco de Mayo, however I have seen many restaurants with large signs related to it. I thought that if I chose to go to any of them I would drag out all of my AMERICAN FLAG clothing that I wear on July 4th, carry a couple of small AMERICAN FLAGS, then wander in and order only AMERICAN BEER!
