Cinco de mayo tomorrow

[progressive hunter]

I'm sorry if you are offended, but many ethnic groups celebrate their own holidays in America.

St. Patrick's Day for the Irish, Columbus Day for the Italians, MLK Day for the brothers.

Its part of the tremendous fabric of the country

those are all exclusively american holidays,,

MLK day?? really??

 

[Zincwarrior]

phuck you,,

I am an american and refuse to be nice to anyone in my country celebrating a independence holiday from a country that doesnt even celebrate it in their home country,,

Its not an independence holiday. Its a day celebrating a defeat of France by an American nation. Who doesn't celebrate a French defeat now and again? Mexican Independence Day is Sept. 16.*


*Probably also annoy you that Margaritas are not a Mexican drink...

Everyone is a Mexican tomorrow, and everyone will be enjoying the world's most tremendous tequila, Jose Cuervo.

And lunch will be served at the world's finest server of Mexican cuisine, Taco Bell

El Patron is not bad, but even really good tequila is only as good as low level whiskey or brandy.

Technically not even France, but Emperor Maximilian.

US helped by sending arms and 'volunteers' south.

After a career in the wine industry, my opinion is that if YOU like it, it is good stuff--if you don't like it, it isn't---regardless of the price. Snobs of any product will disagree.

So much wisdom here. The wife likes cheap butter chardonnay. Hardly anything else.

Maximillian was French (and one of those damn Hapsburgs that nearly killed us all in WWI leading to Communism and WWII).

The battle was the battle of Puebla with French Legionaires.

[jacksonlamb]

who cares,, this is america and we dont celebrate independence holidays from other countries,,
in this case mexicans in their home country dont even celebrate it there,,

Why not? It is not taking away or limiting the USA in any way. I bet you don't suntan well.

You don't know history. The French emperor wanted a French protectorate in Mexico, and so he recruited a Hapsburg nobility to be Emperor.

Read the wiki article. It was going to be a French client state. See what happens when Bonaparte loses? All the rich buttheads take over again.

Its ok. It wasn't going to be the first time French troops lose in the latter half of the 19th Century...

Four years later, these guys annoy the French with their pretzels and wienerschnitzel. I can hear the oompah music!
