<p>&nbsp;Celebrating Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16 is an old American tradition, one that stretches back nearly two centuries, including during the American Civil War. During that terrible period, two sister republics—Mexico and the United States—were fighting for their very survival.

Crowned heads, claiming legitimacy from divinity rather than the ballot box, ruled most of the world.</p>

Ultra-conservadores y reaccionarios creen que Obama no quiere a los anglosajones.</p>
