You sir, are mistaken.








We're already there.

the progressive movement, the PC bull****, all of it.

Conservatives -be they left or right - have been divided and have slept through the past 40 years of politics in America and this is the direct cost.

Disrespected? Disrespect would be wearing a French flag on Cinco de Mayo, you idiot.

Well, well, well. If we have so much respect for Cinco de Mayo why are the children in school in the first place? It's an affront to the school's hispanic population. Shouldn't their holidays be given the same accord as the 4th of July, which is a no-school day in year-round schools? What a travesty!

I think I'll go to a few Texas high schools and protest the wearing of T-shirts bearing the flag of our former Mexican oppressors. Such flags hurt my feelings. For that matter, I think I'll also sue anyone wearing a T-shirt or otherwise displaying the Union Jack on Independence Day. I have a way better case than this school does for both actions, since Mexico never fought for independence against the US, and neither did Britain.

Words that are considered appropriate on this forum do not serve to express my opinion on this matter, but I have a solution. Look! It's like Mad-Libs! Isn't that fun?

Mexican pride can ________________! This is the US of by-God A, not
(verbspletive nounjectspletive noun)
some third-rate _________________________________________!!!!!
(nounjectspletive nounverb adjective adverbjectspletive noun)
All these PC _____________ mother____________ can__________!
(mostly expletives) (all expletives) (*)
___________________________ing,___________________ _____!
(progessspletive verb assemblage) (like Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but an expletive)





*English language inadequate to express vitriol. Please see: Two girls, One cup



For those of you who celebrate Cinco De Mayo, I hope you had a wonderful holiday, and some wonderful Menudo (I can't get enough of that. I think it really is a good dish, and Mexicans should be proud of it). Mexico has a rich and interesting heritage, and it should be celebrated. But the moment you or anyone else tells me what I may or may not express within my First-Amendment rights, you will either get a good nounjectspletive telling-off, or a first-hand understanding of the Second Amendment, as interpreted by me.
