Flags of Aztlan

The warrior flag of Aztlan

Flag of La Raza

Here's some flags to plant atop your Maypole. This demonstration is not an innocent Maypole celebration--Viva reconquista!

Was it a predominantly Catholic area, as May 1 was celebrated as Mary Day (if I remember correctly), and the kids would have a parade around the Catholic church and local neighborhood.

LOL! I was wondering that too, RC......

I may just bookmark this thread for the recipes. :)

The best thing do do is for rotational heads to back off

Oh man, thanks for the Monday morning laugh!!!

I called Tyson. Wondered if they plan to give any Irish or Italian person a day off with pay to celebrate St. Patrick's Day or Columbus Day? Told them I will no longer buy their products and pass the word about how their Company supported an anti-American uprising.

Excellent. Well done. I'm going to call them today. (Is there a 1-800 number, by any chance?)

[eazdzit]

Great. Email your address book and ask them to stop buying Tyson Foods and to pass it on.

These guys have enough influence that if we can hurt them the word will get out and we might get some clout.

Easy Does It:)

I never even came CLOSE to saying that, sully.

All I said was that the day ITSELF was not the problem........it's what has been done to it that is.

I just called Don Pablos (just down the road 1/2 mile) and they're open today- although I'm not sure if it's owned and/or run by Mexicans.

The gal who answered the phone said I was the 3rd person who had called asking that question this morning!

[sam_paine]

You had me going that you were serious until you added the farce that you're planning a vacation to Houston! LOL!

[thelastvirgil]

And do not forget that Don Tyson was a major FOB, and supported the serial rapist bastard. I haven't knowingly had a bite of a Tyson product since the Toon administration.

Wouldn't it be great if the DOW surpassed its all time high? Today: Dow 11,403.24 36.10 (0.32%)

All time high = 11,700. It would require a huge rally, too bad we didn't think of this sooner to organize a rally.

[FloridianBushFan]

If I remember right Taco Bell is owned by Pepsi CO. which according to an Post 77 has closed plants today.

[Peanut Gallery]

FYI ping

[Explorer24]

huh? I am, seriously. My wife and I want to relocate further South, and Houston is one potential place we're going to check out.

Way to go Bump. Start a chain letter asking others to join in. Let's bust their chops.

Well, they're not closing, but Ralphs Market should be at the top of the list. Do a search on "Ralphs" to see why. GRRRRRR!

I'm here at work at the law office.

Here's two boycott supporters:
Wasatch Beers (in Utah)
Gallo Wines

Both are closing down for the boycott according to this news link:

I would guess that Wasatch Beers would be a fairly easy to counter target because it is a small brewery. I never heard of them but I emailed both companies yesterday and let them know they were permanently off my buy list.

This post is a GREAT idea. I hope everyone on this forum reads it. Big BUMP
