What is the big deal, do they celebrate July 4th in Mexico? In Spain? In Italy? NO, why am I celebrating? I will when then illegals are ushered back home where ever that is.

You live in the wrong part of the country to understand, NYM.<br /><br />Parts of our country celebrate St. Patrick's Day and Bastille Day. Most American citizens and residents have heritage based in another country and celebrate that heritage.<br /><br />Cinco de Mayo celebrates patriotism of citizen soldiers in defeating a more powerful invader.<br /><br />I think that is worth celebrating, whether you are of Mexican descent or not.

Re: Happy Cinco De Mayo....

We are having an "extended neighborhood" party tomorrow night for Cinco De Mayo.<br /><br />Funny story goes along with it. Everybody was asked to bring a specific dish. My know it all neighbor-lady was talking with my wife, and my wife asked her what she was asked to bring. She replied, "Well Renee (the hostess) said you are such a good cook, I couldn't ask you to bring something simple like taco meat, so why don't you bring fajita fixins" That really kicked my wife in the ovaries, because she was asked to bring a crock pot full of taco meat <br /><br />So now she has decided she is going to make a margarita flavored cake as well, because any half-wit can make taco meat

NYM,<br /><br />You're missing the point, it a perfectly legitimate reason to crack open an excess of ice cold Coronas

Re: Happy Cinco De Mayo....

I am in favor of the celebrating for those who enjoy. But when you have taken a professional hit as I have several years ago at the hands of NAFTA, and seen the crime in the "Little Mexico" side of a city, failing to participate comes naturally. Sorry guys, Its a me thing. Carry On
