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,

She is a dingbat and horrible to work for. One of her staffers said she ate lunch with her comb.

“English” is not a victim language. It’s got to be something that represents the suffering of minorities at the hands of the white man.

If English is not the official language of the United States, then how are we to receive our orders from our overlords while we are working out in the rice fields?

English is not the US official language. We don’t have an official language.

So, has she personally sworn off speaking English ever again?

I can’t take her seriously until she does.

Yeah, AmKlob, then demons and the illegals could speak their languages (Spanish and arabic) and we conservatives would stick with English. We will have a few interpreters to learn what they are planning.

Dear Amy,

English is NOT & never has been the “official language” of the USA.
(In the late 18th century, the USA “flirted with” designating GERMAN as our official national language. - That “flirting” came to NOTHING.)

KNOWING a few FACTS keeps a person from LOOKING like a DUMB-bunny.

Yours, TMN78247

The pool will largely be illegals who are not allowed to vote and those who support democrats and want them to vote.

Think again you pandering bitch.

According to a Harvard Review, English is now the global language of business. More and more multinational companies are mandating English as the common corporate language—Airbus, Daimler-Chrysler, Fast Retailing, Nokia, Renault, Samsung, SAP, Technicolor, and Microsoft in Beijing, to name a few—in an attempt to facilitate communication and performance across geographically diverse functions and business endeavors. Adopting a common mode of speech isn’t just a good idea; it’s a must, especially for an American company with operations overseas.

The fastest-spreading language in human history, English is spoken at a useful level by some 1.75 billion people worldwide—that’s one in every four of us. There are close to 385 million native speakers in countries like the U.S. and Australia, about a billion fluent speakers in formerly colonized nations such as India and Nigeria, and millions of people around the world who’ve studied it as a second language. An estimated 565 million people use it on the internet.

So for practical purposes, English would be the best way to go. Especially for youth education. Bilingual Education is not a mandated part of the curriculum, yet many schools offer it to accommodate the influx of culturally diverse children. Most often found in urban areas, Bilingual Education seeks to help students whose native language is not English keep up with subjects such as Math and Science, which can easily be lost in translation without assistance. We need to pick one and go with it. And worldwide, English is most used consistently.

Oh to have a real defender of our English Language- which is the language of diplomacy (hasn’t been French for way over 25 years, more like 50)-— Senator (Dr.) S.I. Hayakawa, a favorite on this very American subject.

Hayakawa founded the political lobbying organization U.S. English, which is dedicated to making the English language the official language of the United States.

This idiot Klobuchar wants a Tower of Babble— so people can never understand what our government is really doing, that is to say the English speaking people of this country are NOT TO KNOW ABOUT. The foreign language being one more way to obscure liberal actions of government, so we can’t fight it.

US English has garnered over 32 States of the US as recognizing English only as the official language of each state.

So Klobuchar has lost 32 plus states by her IDIOCY. What a corrupt mean biotch. AND she has a photo with former Ukraine President Poroshenko, fired US ambassador Voyanovitch, right alongside both John McCain and.... Lindsay Graham. So she was in on the Ukraine money scam with Biden et al. A test would be to ask her about it.
