Amy Klobuchar wants to abandon English as America's official language
Townhall ^ | 2/16/2020 | Andrea Widberg

Posted on 02/16/2020 12:44:48 PM PST by simpson96

For Democrats frightened by either an openly socialist candidate or an untested man whom blacks dislike, the seemingly “reasonable” choices are an ex-Republican, sexist, anti-Second Amendment, micro-managing despot -- and Amy Klobuchar, the meanest Senator in Washington. It’s time to remember that Klobuchar has no fixed principles but will, instead, do whatever it takes to advance herself in the Democrat Party.

On Friday, Klobuchar’s latest opportunistic move was to announce at a campaign event in Las Vegas that English should not be America’s official language, even though she voted for a Senate bill that would have made English the official language. She now says that she has “taken a strong position against” the English language in America, although she cannot seem to explain her past vote. One can certainly explain her current turnabout, though, despite her efforts to keep her various immigration positions opaque:

Her policy shift comes a week before the caucuses are set to take place in a state with a large Latino population and an area where Klobuchar has about 10 percent support.

Klobuchar has flip-flopped on immigration policies, once supporting projects like a wall and E-Verify to ban employers from hiring illegal aliens back in 2006.

The Minnesota senator has also been open about supporting amnesty but has hidden her support for exporting college graduate-level jobs overseas.

This conduct is typical Klobuchar. The PowerLine blog, which is headquartered in Minnesota, has been reporting on Klobuchar for years, revealing a calculating progressive who uses “Minnesota nice” as a way to avoid being tagged for the controversial and often inconsistent stands she takes.

In September 2017, Scott Johnson summed up Klobuchar’s tactics when it came to Trump’s nominating Judge David Stras to the Eighth Circuit. Although Stras received bipartisan support in Minnesota from everyone who interacted with him,

Where is the large pool of voters that will make their decision based on this?

I think if asked the least important out of 20 things on a dem list, this would be it.

Well...maybe white college students and grads would like it alot.

How sad.

In other words...no convictions on anything that won’t help her gain or hold onto power.

Liberals: We stand with our viewpoints until we take another viewpoint, then we reject and ignore the previous contradictory viewpoints and tell you to shut up.

The United States DOES NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL language and anyone who tells you otherwise is either ignorant or ate a lot of lead when they were a child. There have been a few attempts to make it our official language over the decades but all have failed.

I do support English as our lingua Franca and would support another attempt at a Constitutional amendment. Just let’s not put out fake news that “English is our official language” and that Klodhopper wants to change it (nothing to change it from).

Thing is, even though English is the language the vast majority use, it’s STILL NOT the’official language’. Every time it’s brought up, someone comes out against it.

A nation that opts to have no official language is playing with fire. Even the Swiss, how have more than one official language in some cantons, have official languages. Language is intimately tied to culture, and when cultures become too different, the bonds of nationhood become weak.

Abandon English? And substitute what in its place? Klingon? Esperanto? Don’t tell me Spanish, that is just a non-starter. Having multiple languages works so well for the Canadians, the Quebecois STILL are a recalcitrant folk, only poorly integrated with the Anglophones.

In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check.
