Well, let's look at one more 'created' 'holiday' that's been all jacked up by the 'Progressive Left' to distract the sheeple from the theft of their liberty ... 'Cinco de Mayo'. The MEXICANS don't even get this day off as a 'holiday' - but WE celebrate it like it has some kind of 'significance' or 'meaning' ... exactly the same as we do 'Kwanzaa' (another fictitious 'holiday') - the brainchild of African-American radical activist, academic and convicted felon Ron Karenga. Both serve no purpose beyond 'agitprop' political purposes. I'll wait while the irate villagers gather their torches and pitchforks, 'cuz I know they're coming - but the mewls and yelps of feigned 'outrage' won't alter the fact that these 'holidays' (to use the word in its loosest possible meaning) aren't 'real' ... they're BOGUS. Meanwhile, enjoy a cold Corona - it'd only be fitting, since they're the ones who 'pumped up the volume' ('volume' in the strictly sales sense of the word) about 'Cinco' ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.mexica.net/literat/Cinco.php The Significance Of "Cinco De Mayo" The Mexican holiday known as "Cinco de Mayo" is widely misconstrued in this country, even by people of Mexican descent. Other people do not seem to care about the origin and cultural significance of Cinco de Mayo, they simply see it as an opportunity to go out and get drunk on Mexican beer at reduced prices. Despite its commercialization, this holiday is of importance to many people. This writing will attempt to clarify the meaning of this holiday and return some significance to a day that has lost most of it to the advertisement industry of this country. The biggest misconception about Cinco de Mayo is that it commemorates México's Independence Day. That holiday is, in fact, celebrated on September 16. On that date back in 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo issued a proclamation known as "El Grito de Dolores" that united the many different rebellions going on against Spain into one cohesive struggle. México achieved its independence from Spanish rule in 1821. Cinco de Mayo is actually a commemoration of a victory by Mexican troops in La Batalla de Puebla more that fifty years later, on May 5, 1862. |
