So, just what -is- the *real* "Cinco de Mayo"?

----[The Reality]----
"Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with legitimate United States history,
but instead commemorates the victory of Mexican troops over French
military units at the Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862. The alcohol beverage
industry appears to bear primary responsibility for this cultural
aberration and promotion of public drunkenness." � Newswire

----[The Truth]----
"The Cinco de Mayo celebration was an event [in San Jose] that once drew
more than 400,000 people. Attendance has steadily dropped over the past
few years, in part because of a 1997 melee that broke out after the
festival had ended." � Pat Lopes Harris in San Jose Mercury News

[Hint: It's the browned down -danger-, stupid!]

"It's not Cinco de Mayo, it's Drinko de Mayo" � Jorge Arias, restaurant
owner, Oakland, California, San Francisco Chronicle

[Note: Watch for flying knives and popping zip guns!]

"Amid music, food and children's games, American corporations -- always
looking to expand their consumer base -- touted their Latino-friendly
products. Grocer Safeway gave away fruit drinks, while Radio Shack peddled
calculator- sized devices that act as Spanish-English translators."
� Cinco de Mayo report

"It's really beautiful to see how big Cinco de Mayo is getting" � Ramon
Garza of Oakland, California to San Francisco Chronicle reporter

"We Shall Overwhelm". � Arturo Vargas, speaking to National Council of
La Raza

"A nation without borders is not a nation." � Ronald Reagan

----[The Typical Pinko Brownie Lies]----
"It's for the Mexican people to remember that they were the conquerors,
and to fight for what is right today." � Eva Royale, United Farm Workers,
explaining Cinco de Mayo, as she circulated petitions at San Francisco
Civic Center Plaza to make Cesar Chavez's birthday a national holiday

----[Rex Osgood Commentary]----
"If we could just get all the Mexicans to respect U.S. borders and U.S.
laws, slow down their birth rate, learn basic hygiene, learn English,
leave behind their holidays, adopt the customs of their new country, and
celebrate American traditions and holidays, then maybe Rosalee Ledesma and
the rest of them could be a welcome addition to California and the U.S. As
things stand, they are a threat to America's cultural identity and a
threat to non-Hispanic Americans."

"More than any other factor it is the Mexican presence that is behind the
current wave of corruption in California politics that threatens
California's future and undermines the security of Californians today."

"What does Cinco de Mayo mean to me? I don't need the reminder, but Cinco
de Mayo reminds me of 9-11. It reminds me of America's immigration
policies that threaten our form of Constitutional government, policies
that threaten American culture and our most treasured political
traditions. It reminds me of third world cesspools spreading to America.
The Rodney King rioters and looters weren't mostly blacks, they were
mostly Hispanics. The corruption of American politics from unassimilated
Mexicans streaming through our porous borders for half a century has
undermined U.S. security. There is the real meaning of Cinco de Mayo."
