I am of hispanic ancestry, and I do speak Spanish as a second language, as do many folks of all ethnicities in south Texas. There isn’t a liberal in my family that I know of-we wholeheartedly disapprove of illegals-and no, I don’t care if that is not PC...

I don’t have a problem with Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz or anyone else using Spanish or any other language in a speech, as long as they do it in English, too. George W. Bush spoke quite passable Spanish-the current occupant of the WH can’t even speak a second language at all...

I think both men are admirable supporters of smaller government that does not dispense health care, is not involved in the lives of private citizens, is not trying to take my guns from the cabinet, or in the doings of private businesses-I just pray they stay in charge of their own cojones over the long haul, and are not tempted by lobbyists or special interest groups with lots of money-we need to keep reminding them that we all vote, whatever our ethnic background is...

I don't care how many languages he speaks - or doesn't. Speaking in spanish is an insult to all the Germans, Irish, Polish, Chinese, etc who came here and would like to hear the speech in their language. What makes spanish so special?
