Hi, Kevin.
I note that you only rarely post a comment, and that you only
post threads about “articles” you yourself have “written”.

Isn’t that curious?

Why do you think you are doing that?

Could it be that you wish to siphon a bit of traffic away from Free Republic?

Oh, Kevin. If that is your goal here, I must rebuke you.
That would be a very scummy and dirtbaggish thing for you to do, Kevin.

Your thoughts?

The map shows that my state has official English laws, but whenever I go into a government building I see bilingual signs everywhere. What's up with this?

This can be shortened to “Forced multilinguism is racism.”

That is, the English language is the ‘lingua franca’ of the world, of commerce, of international travel, of a lot of modern science and technology.

Literacy in the English language is so vital to prosperity in the United States that Noam Chomsky has been able to deny millions of black Americans education, success and self sufficiency, by promulgating his utterly worthless “Whole Language” English instruction on them.

At the time it was invented, black American students had English language skills almost on a par with white students. But after a single decade of being deprived of English language skills, their grades plummeted, because if you do not know English, there is little else you can learn in school.

And Chomsky’s followers, in the face of vast amounts of evidence that Whole Language is an utter failure, still push for its adoption by schools.

So Chomsky can proudly proclaim that he has done more than anyone who ever lived, to oppress and impoverish black Americans.

It can be put quite simply to immigrants: “Learn English or you family will be poor for generations.”

Arizona’s “English Only” referendum got passed without anyone being mad at Republicans:

2006 election
Arizona Proposition 103:
English as Official Language

Yes...No...Full AZ
74%...26%

Yes...No...By race
79%...21%..White
80%...20%..African-American
48%...52%..Latino

Hmmm ... an opening sentence of 45 words.

Why don't you learn to WRITE English?

[Jacquerie]

No thanks.

We can no longer afford to be asleep at the switch while, our children, our nieces and nephews and grandchildren our penalized because precious educational dollars are siphoned off to accommodate illegal alien children who continue to learn to speak in the native tongue of their foreign country.

Yes, the multilingualism problem in public education is very important, but I'm particularly appalled at the federal mandates for multilingual election ballots, which add expense, confusion and practical difficulties (like either a very large size or very small print to accommodate all the languages) to the most vital process in the country. IF SOMEONE CAN'T VOTE IN ENGLISH IN AN AMERICAN ELECTION, HE OR SHE SHOULDN'T BE VOTING AT ALL!!!

'Rats and RINOS in Congress (and the executive branch) have been too patronizing of immigrants - legal and illegal - for far too long. Instead of encouraging assimilation, they are encouraging balkanization of American society.

WOW.....Kevin the Blog Pimp lists himself as a "Free Republic Columnist". Really, Kevin?

Oh, I'm real sure that "English Only" will "take America back". Yup...pass that and all ills disappear.

What a doofus.

[hosepipe]

Will take a damned-site MORE than an english language bill....
Looks like some have underestimated “THEM”... big time..

Republicans love to under estimate democrats.. and do..
By giving the bastards the benefit of the doubt..
Republicans are mostly all PollyAnnas.. in a dream world..

This is my last election as a republican.. talk about begging for defeat..
Republicans win sometimes but absolutely HATE winning..

From your profile:

"Kevin is also co-founder of the Jackson, MI-based American Conservative Values Television Network station as well as columnist for Commentary Today, Renew America, Free Republic, and Liberty Post." (Emphasis added)

So, tell us Kevin. How much does the columnist gig pay here at FR?

Seems to me like those of us who write periodic FReeper Editorials and all the good bloggers who post here in full must be getting shafted on this deal, since I've never yet heard of one of us getting paid or being bestowed the title of "Columnist."

It couldn't be that you're just a guy with a blog and delusions of grandeur, now could it? Well let me clue you in. Here's a word from the boss explaining how it works on FreeRepublic.

There is wisdom and truth to be found in his words.

(A word for Gunner and Laz - It pays to "watch your fobbs.")
