The Mexican Flag and their God: Huitzilopochtla... According to Legend, the Aztecs where summoned from their caves, northwest of Mexico City, by the God Huitzilopochtla. He led them to an Ilsand on Lake Texcoco, where they saw an eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake... They built Tenochtitlan there, today known as Mexico City... They waged wars, not for political gain or land or economics, they waged it to capture prisoners to sacrifice to Huitzilopochtla... The National Palace of Mexico, where [President] Vicente Fox and the Mexican Governtment is centered, lies on top of that ancient sacrificial temple. Their national symbol is the Aztec warrior. The symbol of La RAza, is the Eagle with a stick of dynamite in it's claws, supposedly representing the United States clutching a stick of dynamite, the dynamite symbolizing the mexican immigrant work force... So much for 'family values'.
