You sound like a nice tolerant liberal

I most certainly do not.

LOL

(I'm sure many reading your note are having a good chuckle over your misguided comment)

BTW, speaking Spanish does not indicate a lack of assimilation. Many speak two languages. I'm sure you boast that you can't, but some of us think it's a good thing.

don't believe so ... you missed my point to begin with. We are still an English-speaking nation. Bilingual education in the schools has been nothing short of an abject disaster. If the market wants to support that on radio or TV, I could care less. Let the free market determine that. But as an American, I am offended by a bunch of people standing in a grocery store or a Wal-Mart jabbering away in Spanish ... you are in America, speak English. This refusal to assimilate is building resentment on the part of more Americans than you realize.

And yes, I do support President Bush reaching out to the Hispanic community ... without the support of Hispanics, the President may very well have lost his re-election bid. And I do support his guest worker program. But right now it doesn't look like it will have enough support in Congress to pass.
