Let's celebrate a grand old fiesta on the Fourth

I’ve been reading some of the banter regarding our local Republican party and its spokesman Cornel Rasor.

Rasor and the Tea Party people are probably the best thing to happen to the Republican party. It’s politicians like Rasor and Sarah Palin that will make more liberal parties stronger. Rasor is showing his true colors. He would make a good poster boy for our local racist believers. I think that we should all wear sombreros, practice our Spanish and hang out at the Republican stand at the county fair, while eating tacos. 

Cornel, do you ever eat at Joel’s or Jalapenos?  Will you kick me out of the Army Surplus store if I wear a sombrero and speak Spanish? Don’t worry, I probably will never go there again. Next Fourth of July, I think we should all celebrate a grand old fiesta.
