Why is this a problem?
Cinco de Mayo is a celebration for one small town in Mexico commemorating a military win over the French (already not that big a deal) not their Independence day! Basically the French were pissed off the Mexicans didn't pay back their debt so the French came in and did what they do best, which is to surrender.
So... a bunch of Mexicans some legal, some not so much, attending a HS in California, got pissed off their classmates wore American flag T-Shirts in America. The American students got suspended from school, whereas the Mexican students were portrayed as victims.
If these Mexicans are so desperate to come to the US for a better life, why is this playing out like this? Why do they hate their new country and embrace the country they were so desperate to leave? Why, in our own country, are these folks being given preferential treatment to resentful "immigrants" over citizens who love their country. Why is this not questioned....anywhere?
Hey, it's Mexifornia, a place where insulting the country and it's flag is an accepted practice, so the conduct of the bureaucrats who run these indoctrination camps should come as no surprise. In fact, it's "SOP" in places where leftists control the local govt. It's also why the illegals have no respect or regard for our laws. If you know no one is going to punish you for breaking the law, then why bother obeying it.
ReplyDeleteWORD OF THE DAY
ReplyDeleteCINCO DE MAYO, n.
A faux ‘holiday’ which was created by a brewskie company, it gives the Colonistas in our midst a chance to taunt their myopic American hosts: "We’re still here mooching off you, chumps."

Oh yeah? Think you're good? What were Cisco and Pancho's real names, and what was the name of Cisco's horse? (and don't cheat by looking it up)

ReplyDeleteI guess it was an unfair question since you kids weren't around back then. I thought Stevie might have gotten it, but...
ReplyDeleteCisco's name was, Duncan Rinaldo.
Pancho was, Leo Carrillo.
And Cisco's horse, Diablo.
I'll keep the cookie for my self.
UNFAIR is right, I thought you wanted character names. And the only reason I partly know is that I'm a trivia junkie.
ReplyDeleteBut when I was a kid (8, 9, 10) I remember them on NYC TV when we would visit. And Soupy on the tube too, and Cousin Brucie on the radio. And whatever else was going on in NYC circa 1959 thru 1972.
My first concert, Blood, Sweat and Tears, with guest Lynn Kellogg, Schaefer Music Fair, Central Park. The original BS&T line-up too, wheeew, what a show. 1969, just weeks before Woodstock. I saw Easy Rider in Greenwich Village, same summer. Went to the Guggenheim AND the Met on that trip. True Grit at Radio City!!
Who knew John Wayne was 38 feet tall!
I said "real" names bud. I thought for sure you'd be the one to get it.
ReplyDeleteThere were several actors who played those parts. You are referring to the actors who played them on TV, not the ones from the previous radio shows.
ReplyDeleteJust starting with the Cisco Kid alone, check out these numerous notations:
