France-Awareness Day

 

 

In recognition of México’s Cinco de Mayo holiday, Americans should let Mexico’s government know just what we think of its imperialistic meddling in our internal affairs by flying the French flag.

 

It also is no doubt important that we express sensitivity to the oppressed French who were only trying to find work no Mexican would do. After all, family values shouldn't stop at the shoreline.

 

For those unfamiliar with Mexican history, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the French – Mexican war. Of course, the historical difference is that unlike France, we beat Mexico in the last war, as we will in the next, if their politicians are foolish enough to continue pushing for it.

 

Nevertheless, the French flag can be occasion to make a statement; a statement that says that we can make it difficult for the Mexican government in all of its comings and goings and at every turn; after all, we are by far her leading trading partner.

 

Even as Vicenté Fox continues to promote the current teaching of reconquista in Mexico's school textbooks, and continues to think he has a serious chance to recover land lost in Santa Anna's humiliating failure, he's about to face an enormous reality check; the American people have clearly begun to flex their political muscle.

 

And as always, we do it with style! Yep, there’s even a time and a place for the Tricolor alongside the Stars and Stripes, so fly them with felicity.

 

Vive la France!

Great idea!!!
To further get the message across, fly a Mexican flag underneath the Frenc...upside down.

I like it! Also, good point you make at your blog: were it not for the US supplying ammo to the Mexican resistance, they'd all be speaking French right now. I once heard somewhere the Aztecs invented zero, so I'm pretty sure the concept of zero Mexico should be an attainable one.
