The Mexican
What is Mexican fusion of the the Hispanic-indigenous.
S ALVADOR B ORREGO E SCALANTE
N UR conquered Iberian grandparents our grandparents indigenous ... Why is this statement so simple, so positive , it is written in our history books? We are both sons of Spain as we are sons of this land ...
Sadly, instead of having inherited the virtues of conquered and conquerors, we seem to have inherited only the flaws and defects : thus, instead of being arrogant and intemperate as Cortez (and pride is a virtue I care that it can not understand the ignorant), we prefer to be clumsy and stupid and Panfilo de Narvaez, instead of being arrogant and dismissive in defeat as Cuauhtémoc, prefer to be pusillanimous and cowardly as Montezuma.
Although heirs of the rich culture of the indigenous world, with its evident backwardness material, prefer Olympian disdain and ignore it, of our strong Hispanic heritage are not at all aware ...
To finish matters worse, we as a stronghold of Spain in America have inherited the enmity between the Anglo-Saxon and Iberian world (as we will point Vasconcelos). Demolished and, forever, the supremacy of England in the concert of nations, we - born in this corner of the planet - , we had to contend with the United States of America. Those not content to take over the Latin name for themselves, have taken over the entire continent.
is painful, very painful to see the unlimited admiration stupid people -Outcast and seems to feel stupid, the northern neighbor. If they like to seem some hillbillies, here we soon show that we can try to be as boorish as they or at least persist in the attempt. In the world, the gringo is always seen as being uneducated, ignorant, sufficient and (I'm gonna use this word) stupid ... And here, there are many who give everything to be is what the gringo.
That gringo is wrong and that we dress, dress as bad as them, they eat worse, and we do not stay behind, who wipes his ass with the flag (and boy, there yet we do not) ... His practicality (the gringo), its vulgarity (not in vain boast of being democratic as ), seem admirable ... Their customs decidedly childish (in the worst sense of the word) traditions (based on mercantilism), all their idiotic ideology and cretinizante (her films, comics of "superheroes " , art absurd and horrible, disposable ...) all that I tried to copy ...; their language (which neither they are able to speak well) many people are fools who immediately create move up in speaking English (still have not managed to chew even Castilian) ...
Terrible, truly terrible.
How easily we forget the wrongs ...
How easily we forget what we are: ... ... sons of Spain, the sons of this land ... (It is high time that we realize it.)
Magnificent
song in the voice of "continental tenor" Pedro Vargas
full Mexican National Anthem (includes stanzas in honor of Emperor AgustĂn de Iturbide martyr)
March first Mexican Empire, the flag is that of the three guarantees (designed by Iturbide, as as above) ...

Image: Bandera Imperial de Mexico, the center: the Aztec eagle, symbol of our indigenous past (framed by the medallion of Emperor Maximilian) diagonally across it by four points: cross saltire of Saint Andrew, a symbol of our ties with Spain, and finally the three colors green, white and red, the sign of the Emperor Iturbide. Such is the wave would like to see one day.
