Furthermore, I wholly reject that Senator Martinez is part of the problem for supporting Mr. Gonzalez. Methinks the real problem you have is not the ideas of Sen. Martinez and Mr. Gonzalez, but their last names.

The fact that you would accuse me of such a thing without knowing a damn thing about me demonstrates to me that you used the word "xenophobe" in exactly the way I thought you did. In the paragraph I quoted above, you are using an implied accusation of racism to try to dismiss my point outright, and get me to shut up. Do you see racism everywhere?

Martinez's support of Gonzalez is a wonderful thing. There is no need for him to do it in Spanish on the Senate floor. Whether he intended to or not, he pandered to the "multicutural" factions within our country, and I consider that to be exacerbating the problem.

"Martinez's support of Gonzalez is a wonderful thing. There is no need for him to do it in Spanish on the Senate floor."

Sure there is. The Rats didn't filibuster because Martinez gave them a taste of what would come! He could probably curse them out and they wouldn't know it!

There is no requirement that I know of that senators speak in English on the senate floor. They have a right to speak in any language they want, and for some, I would prefer that the language they speak was something other than English, each and every time they speak. The first amendment is precious. Defend it.
